". T. G, WnVcrIy.-1'hc "Waltham
system" was a term much used In con-
ncctiOn with the manufacture OF cot
trr and WOODEN goods about 1914 TO
$40. Before tho War Of 1912 the proc
esscs Of card!nE. spinning. weaving and
fullinG were carried on in different cs-
Establishments under different Dropric-
tors. l:ut in 1873. In consequence OF
the inventions of Francis Cabot Lowell
the Boston Manufacturing COMPANY
was enabled to carry on all Of tho
processes In their mills at Waltham
boarding -houscs for their employees
md the periodical payment Of wages
IN money instead OF payment in cloth
Ing and provisions from the factory
store were also introduced. This sys-
tenn was soon adopted in Lowell. and
in short time became general.

AS he has done SO often in the past, the
Kaiser seems to have overlooked the most
vital factors in the great peace drive he has
launched AS always, he has failed TO gauge
correctly the psychology Of tho situation He
has picked time when the allies are more
firmly knit together, more flied with the
aggressive fighting spirit than ever before.
A little closer study of the facts and he
might have realized that his present peace
seeds would fall on barren ground Again,
he caused it to be announced that the Vati-
can would intervene for peace. That move
falls fat with the announcement from Rome
that mo favorable occasion for n further
peace move by Pope Benedict has presented
itself, nor does it seem near" After all il
seems that the Hafser will be forced to fight
it out at arms, despite the apparen, slump
in his martial spirit.

DR.. kenison is presenting TO the world
nothing new in his finding that the Kaiser
is insane, paranoiac of the most pronounced
type. That has been we'll understood for
many years, but the alienist puts the profcs
sional seal upon lay opinion. Were he pri-
vate citizen he would have been ncarcerated
long ago; being the All Highest he is permit
ted to plunge the world into its bath OF blood
II he really is lunatic, then he is not as
guilty as those who surround him and OBJ
sequiousy carry out his insane orders, no
matter how great the fresh streams Of blood
they cause to flow.

No Peace Move From Vatican

T HE Vatican very promptly disclaims re-
sponsibility for recent rumors that the
Pope contemplated making a new peace offer
on WhtsInday. The Vatican even goes fur
thcr and announces that the Pope sees no
present signs of favorable occasion arising
IN the very near future for the submission OF
new proposals for peace. His attitude regard
ing the issues concerning the war, as might
be expected Of the head Of the great church
whose commandments are arraycd on both
SIDES OF the conflict, is described as being:
hrst' TO maintain absolute imnartiality; sec
ond to limit much rs possible the extent
OF the conflict and its horrors; third, 10 work
in every way, on every propitious occasion
10 restore concord and brotherhood among the
peoples.
With this attitude, neither side in the war
can Justly find fault 1t is the proper attitude
for the shepherd of the great flock of which
he has the oversight to maintain. Ills heart
beeds for peace; but he realizes il is not
the part OF wisdom for him 10 inject new dis
cora INTO the struggle by prosuming to pass

Pope TO further this scheme Germany
promptly takes the initiative herself by sub

1t was inevitable in the light OF Germany's
past performances that she would soon or

strength OF their fighting forces at the front.

poisoned the minds OF the Russian and
Italian peoples. resulting in the complete col
