WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1918
PEACE OFFENSIVE soUELcHED.

The peace offensive of the central
powers 50 promptly squelcAcd by Pres
ident Wilson, took a familiar course.
The proposal of the Austro- Hungarian
government that all the belligerent coun-
tries enter into binding discussions
for the purpose of ascertaining if there
was any possibility of finding some
common ground on which peace could
be arranged was no departure from
the path that the central powers have
trodden before, and on which they have
walked hand in hand. The beckonnes
70 the allies were of the same kind. The
signals To the allies were waved bv Aus
tro-Ilungary as before. while Germany
pecred through her places of conceal
ment. The Austro- Hungarian govern
ment does the talking, while the i'm
nerial German government remains
silent The new peace offensive was in
spired by the same motives that sought
the same ends as the old. 1t sought to
enlist the same sympathetic aid.
The Austro- Hungarian government
in its official communication made
reference to its former attempt to Sc
cure n conference for the interchange
Of views with regard to peace In its
communication it said, What did
not succeed that first time can be re
peated, and perhaps it has already al
least contributed to the Qualification OF
views. Mountains of old misunder
standings might be removed and many
new things perceived. Streams of pent
up human kindness would be released
in the warmth of which everything es
sential would remain and, on the othe
hand, much that is antagonistic, t.
which excessive independence is still
attributed, would disappear. These ar
fine words, but they butter no pars
nips.
The Austro-H Hungarian government
assumed that the fundamental diff
Guilty in the way of peace is that tn
path to peace is befogged in an al
mosphere of suspicion and that thi
might be made to disappear by tn
shining light of discussion The Aus
tro- Hungarian government wished {
convince the allies that the centr;
powers are innocent of any wrong. Tt
fundamental difficulty is not the a
mosphere of suspicion. 1t goes fl
deeper than that. 1t is a convictio
that the central powers have done
:. great wrong to the world, and whiC
II they have shown not the least desire I
/ right. The conviction has been reaeht
/ by the incontrovertible evidence of Il
deeds that have been committed. Ev,

Had Experience.

The children had got tired of climb
ing trees and picking flowers. So the
Sunday school teachers suggested that
they should have an impromptu con-
cert. One little mite sang, another
danced. Then there was pause.

a member of her class, you know How

And neither don t their age,

SO swat them with cries of rage.

And publick opinion of the ant is high
And some don't even mind catterpillers
