WARNS AGAINST
 DELUS|VE PEACE
 OFFERS IF HUNS

PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-Proba- bility and grave danger of another German peace drive were empha- sized by President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard University, in his address recently at the opening sessiCn of the Convention of the League to Enforce Peace. He said in part:
 Tt is not at all improbable that Germany may propose to make peace on terms that appear on their face reasonable and moderate. She may offer to retire from Bel gium and France and even to con- tribute toward the damage suffered, to cede Alsace and Lorraine or leave their future to be decided by a pie biscite, to give the Trentino and Trieste to Italy, to promise some kind of autonomy to the various races in Central and Eastern Europe, and to agree that the barbarities she has practised shall not be permitted in war. 'iS"
 Such an offer might we'll beguile the Allies in a delusive peace. The peace would be delusive for, unless the principle of militarism is destroyed, the promises would be kept no better than those broken in the past. Autonomy of other races would mean their organization for the strengthing of Germany; until she had control of the resources of a pop

ulation of 2OO,OOO,OOO for the next war Such a settlement would be a mere truce pending a strife more fierce hereafter
 "If the upshot of this war is incon- elusive the whole world will be pre- pairing for another. During any tenn porary truce men of science in all countries will devote much of their thought to make engines more de- structive and more deadly for the struggle which will be well nigh a war of extermination.
 "Civilization as we know has reach ed point where it must preclude war, and war can be precluded only by a conquest of the world by a sin gle power, or by an organization of many nations to prevent it's recur- renee.
 "The principle of predatory militar-
  mankind has the intelligence, the magnanimity and the determination so to organize itself that justice shall take the place of violence, and that the predatory state shall be re- strained, by force if need be, from a wanton resort to arms. No one na- tion can do this, nor can it be done if the United States stands aloof. The time has come to take part in a league of nations to maintain an en- during peace here and elsewhere. We must finish the work we have begun until the principle for which we fight stands victorious and unquestioned; :; and then we must build a structure that so far as human wisdom can reach, will baHish the scourge of war among mem.

INSPIRATION TO
 BOYS IN KHAKI
Country's Defenders To- day Learn Lesson From
 Thin Blue Line.

"HE veterans of the Grand Army
 of the Republic furnish always
 an inspiring spectacle to the in- tervening generations. These young men, who so many years ago marched southward to the call of Abraham Lin coin, plarch again today. Their line Is thin. The feet which advanced wig orously to battlehelds for the republic are uncertain. The weight of the years drags them down. Backs are bent by the burdens of war and of life. The eyes which once flashed to the call of duty gaze dimly upon a sunlit world.
 But the hearts of these heroes in biue-these men who offered the last measure of sacrifice to their country more than half century agO-are as sound as they had been in the remote period of their youth. They beat as high to the inspiration of the crisis through which the country and the world are living. These men who played manly part In one of the

epics of history decline for the most part to give up their parade, the fea- ture of Memorial day. They are de termined to show the younger genera. ton that if their bodies suffered from the ravages of campaigns and of time, the high luster of their courage and their devotion has not been tarnished by the years.
 It is fitting that the heroes In blue should give to the soldiers in olive drab this demonstration of their en- duranCe of body and of soul. It is we'll that the soldiers In olive drab, on the eve of their own great adventure, should salute the heroes In blue whose spiritual descendants they are.
 For the cause which the men of the Grand Army of Republic upheld is the same as the cause which the young men of today have rallied to uphold. 1t is the cause of America, in the six ties as now, the champion of justice and freedom.

Ex-Confederates Draw Pensions.

It will be news to most persons that a great many former Confederate sol diers draw pensions from the govern ment. Some of them were deserters who enlisted in the Union armies; oth- CTS were prisoners of war who did the same thing. Six regiments of so-calIed "penitent rebels" were organized by the federal authorities from the prison camps at Point Lookout, Rock Island, Alton, Camp Douglas and Columbus. They took the oath of allegiance, and the men were credited to the quotas of the states they elected to serve.

Enemy Held to East.
On the front farther to the east the
French held the enemy in the south
ern outskirts Of the Bouquieny wood
and at the village Of Nesles.
On the front between the Marne
ana Rheims the fighting developed
violently In the Courton wood. The
Germans attacked in the vrigny re-
gion on this front, but their assault
here broke down completely.
A powerful attack likewise was
made by the Germans in the direc-
tion Of Monvoisin. but they were driven
from this locality by French coun-
ter attack.
Attacks Fail Near Prunay.
Along the line to the east of
Rheims the Germans delivered local
attacks. notably in the Prunay re-
sion. These efforts by the enemy
were fruitless.
In renewed assaults upon Beaumont
the enemy suffered sanguinary re-
pulse. The French positions through
out the region to the east of Rheims
were maintained intact
The statement reads: South of the
Marne new German forces pushed
forward and attacked yesterday and
last evening the heights north Of st.
Agnan and La Chapalle-Morthedo
The enemy succeeded in penetrating
into the Bourdonneie farm, and the
battle continues with violence on the
slopes and woods Immediately south
Of this point.
French Counter-Attack.
sFurthsr east, despite very visor-
ous attacks the French held the en-
emyt IN the southern outskirts Of
Bououigny wood and at the village
Of Nesles. The Germans likewise
launched a powerful attack in the
direction of Monvoisin on the south
side Of tho Marne southwest Of Ven
teuil. but were thrown back from this
locality by powerful counter at
tack by the French.
"Between the Marne and Rheims
violent combats developed in Courton
wood. A German attack in the region
Of vrigny broke down completely.
