GERMAN iASOLENCE.

The Germans and Russian So- clallsts had peace-proposal meeting at some outlandish place, and palavered a good deal, Whereupon they finally agreed that if Russia could bring all of its allies into the moose, so skill fully fixed by the Germans, that peace might follow. Germany's magnanimous Q proposal was to hold fast to all 1t has and then take all 1t could get. These lu- minous peace terms were herald ed to the world with a great flourish of trumpets, and the Germans gave the Russians ten days in which to inveigle the in- tente allies into it's delusive snare. In the interim, both Great Brltlan, through its Prime Minister, and the United States, by the mouth of Pre- 5idelt Will son, in effect, told the Germ ins they could step to hades; and af- ter receiving this information the Germans withdrew their peace-offer. As they had prof fered nothing, in the first in stance, and the two great pow CTS, of the opposition, having given their views regarding the subject, Germany had nothing to withdraw. And its ostentatious show of make-believe is only another evidence of it's insolence.
