GERMANY's PEACE WINES.

The situation Of Germany is such
that it must have peace at almost any
price. The kaiser has made several
proposals during the past year, and,
according to dispatches from Europe,
viii make another much modified pre-
, position during the next ten Gays.
Germany is near collapse. 1t must
get peace on the east in order to be
able to offer any serious resistance
in the west. It hopes that negotia-
tons with Russia will bring a gen
cral peace. But if it does not, Ger
many must at least have peace with
Russia. Germany cannot stand this
struggle much longer, but If 1t can
get peace on the east, it will stagger
along for little while, in the hope
that something will turn up on the
west to save it.
Hence Count Czernin and Dr.. von
Kueflmann offer to surrender what
German blood has won,' in the pis-
ter language OF the Pan-German
newspapers, some Of which invite tas
public to hiss the minister OF Foreign
Affairs on his return TO Berlin. Or
