people that he was anxious for
peace.
Patients came into my office at
the time crying with joy at the pros
pect of early peace. and showering
praise on ther Kaiser for having
been the first to make peace over
lures.
The full extent of the Kaiser's
hypocrisy in this connection be-
comes evident when we compare his
admitted object in issuing the pro-
posal with the terms in which it is
couched. 1t was not written for
the powers to whom it was ad-
dressed, but for the power at home
the German people.
The following passages are worth
rereading with this fact in mind:
The most terrific war expert
enced in history has been raging
/ for the last two years and a half
over a large part of the world-a
catastrophe which thousands OF
years of common civilization was
unable to prevent. and which Injuries
the most precious achievements of
humanity.
Our aims are not to shatter nor
annihilate our adversaries. In spite
of our consciousness of our mill
tary and economic strength and our
readiness to continue the war (Which
has been forced upon us) to the
bitter end if necessary; at the same
time, prompted by the desire to
avoid further bloodshed and make
an end to the atrocities of war, the
four allied powers propose to en-

PRESS COMMENT.
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.

Church and country sustain another
severe loss in the death Of Archbishop
Ireland. A fighting young chaplain in
Civil War days, he continued throughout
his long life militant priest, a natural
leader Of men and powerful admins
traitor Excrtinp his intellectual and moral
influence far beyond the limits of his
own diocese and his own faith as the
head of see which in his childhood
was on the frontier OF civilization, he
gained worldwide fame.
II IL reported that Archbishop Ireland
had already been named to the Cnrdina-
late and that the announcement Of that
high honor awaited only the observance
of certain formalitics. Whether this
bc true or not, il is practically certain
that he would have been made n prince
OF the church long ago if Mr.. Roosevelt
when President, had not unwiselv at
tempted, through Mrs Belamy Storer,
to bring pressure TO bear upon the Vatican
in his behalf.
Archbishop Ireland was more than n
priest and more than prelate. lie
was great patriotic character dominant
To the last In any sphere of life he would
have been mastcrlul. BY his death
the state no less than the church is dc
prived of commanding personality,
strong IN the support Of both.--New

The New York Times Explains.

The New York Times, which was led
into false position through some erring

it's editorial in which it insisted the allies
should consider as sincere Austria 9 request

cnce bc arranged This attitude ot
paper that has bccn staunch Tro-Ally
supporter, unilagging in its loyalty 10
the United States and her co-partncrs IN
the war on autocracy, was a shock to
the papers hundreds of thousands Of
readers. and to the whole nation. In
its explanation it's editor writes
"Thc Times regarded the Austrian
proposal as u confession of defeat. We
construed it IA an offer TO surrender. II
we erred, it was in putting that construc-
ton upon the invitation from Vienna,
for that was the foundation of our com
ment."

cerity of The Times. Nor can there he

troversv. II has always been a red
