The New Peace Offensive
IFrom the New York Tribune.

Bitter experience has taught the peo-
pies at war with Germany that when
Berlin talks peace It means war. that a
German campaign for peace bears no
relation whatever 10 honest and sincere
attempts to make peace, but is purely
and simply designed TO contribute to
the military success Of the Kaiser upon
the battlefield.
Less than a year ago in Russia and
subsequently in Italy we had an ad-
mirable and final example Of what Ger
man peace proposals mean. Then the
Germans used The talk Of peace TO dis
organize and disrupt Russia. Tempor-
arlly adopting the B0lshevik phrase of
peace without anneXations and with
out lndemnities," German agents and
German Influences procured the utter
generalization Of the Russian public
and then Of the Russian army.
a few months later the same process
was repeated i'm the case Of Italy. Just
as unmistakably as the German general
employed his artillery and his gas 10
reduce the barbed wire entangements
and incapaciiate The enemy troops be-
fore an infantry attack, the German
statesman and propagandist used the
peace discussion 10 break down the in
tellectual and moral defenses of the
Italian people. When The propaganda
preparation was complete The army at
tackled, and we had the disaster Of the
Upper lsonzo.
Today IL is essential TO recognize az
the outset Of new peace offensive that
10 is once more a war measure. The
German is using the talk of peace TO
prepare the way for a new attack by
his armies He is seeking TO effect
breach In the moral trench lines of his
foe, as he used his artillery 90 prepare
the way for his great attack OF Manch
q, 1918.
We are, then, bound not TO fall into
the trap. We are bound beyond all
else to avoid playing The German game
by one more general and solemn dis
cussion OF alleged German peace terms.
which suddenly leap from outer dark
ness 30 tho headlines and front pages
of all newspapers and become the topic
Of discussion Of millions of people. This
is exactly what the German wants 60
procure this is the result which he is
seeking and this is The result which In
the past hc has TO a very great extent
succeeded in procuring TO the very
great injury OF his enemies and 10 his
own considerable temporary advantage.
THE German is at present committed
tO the greatest offensive of AN human
history lie Is i'm the midst OF opera
tions from which he hopes TO emerge
The master of the world. lie still eN-
poets 10 crush the British armies in
France before the American troops can
arrive IN sufficient numbers 10 deprive
him of The initiative and the offensive
for The balance Of the war.
There is not the smallest warrant for
the belief at the present hour that. de-
spite obvious delays and temporary dis
appointments, the German does not ex-
pect TO win his great battle. We are
confident, we on the Allied side, be-
cause we have escaped a great disas-

is headed pell-mel toward receivership.
A community which loses sight OF that fact is
dangering those prime interests which depend upon
constant and consistent public service.
Knowing those things, the people Of Wilmington
doubt win weigh in tho scales OF sound Judgment rather
than in the scales Of unsound prejudice the petition
which the Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany has led with the Public Utilities Commission for
permission 10 increase its fare rate from five cents to
six cents
Upon the showing made in that petition. the

increased TO It's employees andmee other expenses
which have become abnormal because Of the war.
Whether that showing Is correct is for The utilities
Board to ascertain Whether, assuming that Il is cor
rect, the company has a legal right TO charge moro
than five for ride within the city limits is some
thing for the lawyers and the courts to decide. Those
details which must be worked out.
No wishes Of course to pay six cents for a trolley
ride that costs five cents Neither did anyone wish
to pay for rent fuel light food, clothes amuse-
ment and many other things which enter Importantly
into the American form Of living Such added expense
has been accepted, however, natural part Of the
penalty that has been inflicted upon civilized world
result Of the blood andron effort Of the Huns to
put their heels upon the neck Of that world
The traction company must pay increased prices to
everyone who sells materials TO t It cannot buy such
materials. II must pay higher wages 10 its employees or
it viii lose them. To meet such added expense it must
depend upon It's revenue and maintain that revenue
upon basis which will meet It's legitimate expenses OF
all sorts Unless such DO pursued. the company
cannot fail TO become financial wreck and s system
a material wreck Either Of those things would be
communal calamity.

THAT the abomnabe roads In Delaware are making

Wilmington Del:
- Dear sir-The Capitol Tour Association which
prominently includes Wilmington, met at Philadelphia
yesterday TO act numerous complaints OF the
wretched condition OF tho Delaware roads particularly
near Wilmington.

Delaware had the doubtful honor Of having the poorest
roads OF the several States Of the Capitol Tour sug
sestons were offered TO sidetrack Wilmington but this
action was postponed owing to the prominent connec-
ton Of the Hotel dupont with the Tour.
We request you TO stimulate the commissioners

ALBERT j. McCONoNY,

The pity Of it all is that Deawarean. knowing the
truth embodied in the complaint do nothing except
admit il, and demand that the Levy Court take PROMPT
action to remedy such disgraceful conditions
The present condition Of many Of our stone roads
shows that much money has been squandered in past
years in building highways which would not stand up
under the stress Of twentieth century trac and then
not even properly paroling and maintaining such roads,
The policy has been to spread lot Of poor roads over
