THE PEACE DOVE

The gentle cooling OF the peace
dove is heard throughout the war
torn nations and 1t seems to be
growing stronger. First 1t made it.
self known in Russia, but, no one
thought II was a real dove. How
ever, Great Britain has spoken, AM
erica has fixed tentative terms and
all the beligerents are discussing the
issue. Thought makes the world go
round. Thinking is usually follow
ed by action. All nations have been
thinking war and the war went mer-
rily on. Now that all nations are
thinking peace. will peace come?
No one knows what time has in
store, but, the fraternizing of Ger
man troops with the Russians has two
sides to il. The Russians are peo
pie Of high ideals and devoted to
peaceful methods in all things. They,
too, will SOW seeds of discord among
the Germans. Particularly will this
be true when we remember that the
people of Germany are systematic
ally and viciously deceived by their
ruling classes. and 1t may yet be the
part OF Russia to enlighten them in
this matter. Already there are ap-
pearanees in Germany Of strong
and growing desire for peace.
Prussianism and peace cannot go
together. and when the people OF
Germany grasp this fact there may
be something doing In that country
that the kaiser cannot control. 1t
took Just one day to throw the car
OF all the Russias of the throne, and
for that ancient empire to blossom
forth in the light Of democracy. The
German people are competent to do
the same thing, II they once compre-
bend the conditions under which
they rest.
Already the emperor is casting
about to fortify himself against the
loss Of Alsace-Larraine and the Ger
man colonies, and has rounded up
his vassals, Austro-Hungary and
pledged them to support his claims.
No public announcement has yet
been made OF It. but, It is probable
that he could influence Turkey and
Bulgaria to do the same thing.
The kaiser has his troubles
also, even though he claims
to be the only holy one Of
God. Turkey is having troubles of
her own and the Emperor has not
come to her help as was expected.
She is losing Palestine and Mesopo-
tamia and II the war lasts much
longer she is liable to lose other ter
ritory, consequently. the feet Of
Turkey are getting a little chilly.
The cooling of the dove seems to be
getting stronger.
