IS PEACE IN EUROPE NEAR.
Rumors that efforts now are being made to restore the
peace of Rurope become more insistent each succeeding week,
and although every belligerent engaged positively denies any
movement in that direction, the frequency with which these re
ports originate would indicate that some efforts are being made
to relieve the countries of the old world from the fearful war
they have brought upon themselves.
G< ; many usually is credited with the greatest desire for
peace. It is asserted that her people, worn down by the awful
sacrifices they have been forced' to make, and the apparent
hopelessness of ever gaining a decisive victory, wish to con
clude a peace before their country is relentlessly crushed under
the o v t i Vv helming forces of the allies.
On the other hand, the allies are becoming tired of the
long drawn out struggle. While at first it was thought it
would be an easy matter to defeat the Teutonic hosts once the
full military power of the great countries engaged were re
cruited to full strength, it is now realized that if victory is to
reward their efforts, it will come only after many more months
of costly and sanguinary fighting.
It is easy to see, however, why the allies are more willing
to carry on the struggle than is Germany. France has been
the heaviest loser of any power engaged on either side. She
has; lost hundreds ut' thousands of her best men. Si)id the
greater part of her industrial territory now is in the hands of
the Germans. She lias lost about all she can lose, and now is
unwilling to cease fighting until she not only has regained her
territory, but is given some reward for the remarkable fight
she has made.
Russia, although a heavy loser both in men and territory,
has much of both, and is prepared to carry on indefinitely the
struggle, which she firmly believes, will result in making of her
the strongest power in Uurope, for it is well understood on all
sides that under no chncunistanees will she cease fighting until
she has been given the control of the Dardanelles, which she
has coveted for more than a hundred years.
"With Ungland, however, will rest the decision as to when
r war will r -ally end. Without a foot of her territory in pos—
- ssiott of her foes, and with absolute control of the seas, she is
prepared to carry on the war indefinitely, or as long as she is
able to finance herself and provide money for her allies. She
is the banker who is putting up the money for the allies, and as
long as she suffers no disaster at sea, and the Russians and
French can hold their frontiers, she is willing to continue the
struggle.
As to Turkey and Austria, both these countries are bound
to follow the lead of Germany, no matter how the peace terms
are made, the former is sure to be a loser.
Now is the psychological moment for Germany to conclude
a peace. It is conceded by all military critics that she has pro
gressed as far as she can on land, and that unless she can by
Home miracle administer a defeat to the British at sea, she will
slowly but surely be forced back within her own territory. Once
that is accomplished, the allies never will consent to a peace
other than otie which will forever place her among the second
class powers of the world.

While every nation at peace and several of those at war are
building ships preparatory to the utilization of them in opening
new trade areas, what, pray, tell us, is the United States con
gress doing about it ?

boy, Henry. Financing a bunch of politicians would make* an

The administration at Washington is relieved over the fact
that the border between Mexico and America is now regarded
