CHALLENGE AND WARNING.

IF any man can find An honorable and
equitable way out of this conflict without
fighting it through. let bim tell it, was
the challenge the British Prime Minister
flung down TO all the indifferent, coward
Nv or disloyal of whatever station in socHty
in England or any other country at VAR
with Prussian militarism. he was address
sing the labor delegates in London, but
his words were meant TO reach farther. He
had shown that the governments opposed
to Germany had exhausted their powers of
reasoning with the enemy but without
effect. There had been no answer betoken-
ing anything but determination to go for
ward with the war of conquest,
What more positive demonstration of
the futility Of parleying with the Germans
in their present frame OF mind can any
one demand than this arrogant attitude at
Brcst-I1itovsk? What further demon
stration of the decentralization flowing
from efforts OF ;Ieali,,- than is present ed
in the Russian situation? The Germans
depend on their guns and their man power.
Of what avail are resolutions against
them?- Pheittsburg Gazette-Times
