SEEDS FOR FUTURE WARS.

Ia every announced arrangement for
separate peace between the Germans
and the countries on their ea.tcrn front
may be disccrncd the promise Of future
war Peace with Russia with he
Baltic provinces left in German po7~e--
sion: With 'kruine. looking to a further
partition Of Poland with Rumania
at the price of Russian territory; all these
moves are announced and none of them
but promises trouble to come. In each
the imposition Of the power OF the con
queror on the will Of the conquered is
the basis on which order Is to be restored
all on terms finally Of advantage to Ger
many.
In the struggles between the smaller
peoples, sure to follow such d settlement,
the German would have little or no
interest, save to renew the profitable
practice Of selling arms to both sides.
Those provinces left under German dom
ination may find in the past promise Of
their future. This is why the German
plan for peace is impossible. America
is concerned in the map Of Europe only

KEEPING OUR PROMISES.

Former President Taft in the Philadei-

tancc and the necessity OF olr nation
keeping It's promises nder treaties
made bv the United States with Great
Britain France. Italy and Serbia. aliens
from those countries are not subject to
draft for military service IN this country.
Without stopping to question the Wis
DOM or the unwlsdom al such treaty,
it has been made. and that settles IT,.
The United States has had the reputation
of observing treaties with other countries,
and it j. q good reputation to keep.
1t is just as important, and as binding,
upon nation rs il is upon an individual.

makes promises and breaks them loses
the confidence Of those Who know hln.
and it is 50 with Il nation.
one 0t the faults found with Germany
j, that She has forfeited public condolences
by breaking treaties One oi the first
movements made by the German army
was to invade Belgium i'll violation Of a
solemn treaty All through the war
which has now been raging nearly four
years. Germany has been breaking
formal promises and treating them as
but scraps of paper
That sort Of reputation has become so
notorious. that nothing that may be said
BY the Kaiser, or by any one of his official
staff for him is accepted as the truth. ~

Destruction of Shipping.

According TO report made to the Brt-
ish House of Commons, this week, by SiI
Hugh Geddes, First Lord of the Admiral
ity, the destruction of shipping from the
beginning of the war to the end of 1917
amounted TO $500, 900 tons This includes
ordinary marine losses rs well as the de-
struction wrought by the enemy.
In the last twelve months the amount
of tonnage sunk was 100000. instead
of the $500, 900 claimed by Germany.
The German report of allied shipping
losses in January was an cxaggera'ion
of 1l3 per cent he said. lie promised
that figures on the tonnage losses of
Great Britain and the output of new
shipping would he published regularly
hereafter.
Since the intensified submarine war
began, little more than wear ago.
Great Britain's net loss of shipping has
been 800. 900 tons; in other words her
losses have exceeded her output by that
amount. During the last quarter OF
1917 the Allies were averaging within
100000 tons month of making their
losses good; they were then replacing 80
per cent of their lost tonnage, which
averaged 26O 900 tons monthly
This is an appalling but not an lrrc-
parable loss But II serves TO indicate the
horrible destructivencss Of war, and how II
tcars down the upbuildrng work of man
and devastatcs instead of improving.
All Of this as we'll as many other evils,
