LET US HAVE PEACE.
1T OFTEN requires more moral courage to compromise
than to go on battling. To fight is often the easiest
-I way out. To propose a cessation of hostilities at a time
when strength is not exhausted is neither easy nor pleas
ant. It invites a charge of cowardice, whereas to go on
may be the more cowardly course.
At a time when Germany was strategically as strong
as at any period during the long war, when none of her
territory was occupied by a foreign foe, when that nation
was still in the role of aggressor on the soil of her enemies,
and immediately following a victory of more or less sig
nificance, the German government laid down the bars for
a peace parley. That was followed by pacific suggestions
to all the belligerents on the part of the neutral powers,
initiated by President Wilson.
Now Germany goes a step farther and proposes a con
ference of delegates of all the belligerents to discuss peace.
4» 4* 4*
A variety of motives have been ascribed to Germany.
One is that a purpose is denoted to place the entente allies
in an embarrassing position in the eyes of the neutral
world by propositions that could not be accepted by the
enemy but that would prove impressive to noncombatant
nations. Another is that the desideratum is to exert a
moral influence at home at a time when the war spirit is
flagging and to arouse the German people to further sac
rifices by adroitly suggesting the necessity for continued
war activity to repel a possible invasion by foes who are
deaf to all peace suggestions.
All these analyses, however, do not interpose an effect
ive barrier to the fact that Germany has made
move that will he considered by neutrals on whatever j
merits subsequent developments may show it to possess
and that so far the other side has not accorded it a wel
come. On the contrary, without proposing any concilia
tory counter steps, the entente allies in effect flatly re
jected the first German tender on the ground, as we
gather, that it did not run to the moral side of the conflict.
A minister, officiating at Westminster, echoed that official
view from the pulpit. It may occur to that part of the |
world outside the war zone, and to some of it inside the!
boundary of carnage, that such reasoning constitutes an
obdurate splitting of hairs. Obviously the moral side is
now more associated with peace, leaving to the future set
tlement of the problems of diplomatic prophets. In any
event, this seems to be true, that any moral issues involved
ran be more speedily and more satisfactorily settled in
the forum of peace than amid the clash of war. And in
passing, does it not appear to be remarkable that a servant
of the Master should voice such sentiments especially at a
time when the world should lie in tune with the gospel of
peace on earth?"

If there was any logical reason for turning the cold
shoulder to Germany's first tender, there seems to be
occasion for it now if the allies really want peace,
ferenee of the belligerent powers, aided by neutral
sei if desired, w T ould, first of all, result in an armistice, and
there is little doubt it would he followed by abandonment
of the war under terms that would dispose of all issues,
both material and moral, more permanently than it can be
done by the arbitrament of the sword held on either side
by an apparently unconquerable agency.
The world is sick of war. It is nauseated with the
spectacle of horror upon horror, of nations laid waste, of
slaughter indescribable, of back-breaking burdens being
piled upon posterity. It will not be tolerant of those who
either utilize the white robe to screen ulterior motives or
those who discard it with criminal indifference.

MARJORY HEARS BAD NEWS AND SCENTS FOUL PLAY.
"Marjory, I have the worst news
{or you," said Tom. coming into the
boudoir where his wife lay curled up
on the couch with a novel. "You
must be bravo and try to help me all
you can, for-■"
"What is It?" asked the girl in
great excitement, sitting up and
dropping the book on the floor.
"We ore not going to get any
money," said Tom, blurting out the
j dreadful truth that lie might have it
over with.
"Why, it can't be! They traced the
'relationship without any flaws direct
ly to the man who left the property
and there were no heirs there in Eng
land." Marjory had sprung up and
stood with eyes wide with fear and
looking at her husband.
"They found an heir in the direct
line." answered her husband quietly.
"I don't believe it. It Is just a
scheme to cheat us out of our rights,"
she burst forth In a fierce voice. "Why
do you submit to such treatment?"
'The lawyer writes that he has
sifted the evidence and is convinced
that there is no flaw in it. It-"
"Why didn't they know about this
heir in the first place? They said
there was no one to claim it," she cried
wildly.
I "Listen, dear. It seems there was a
I secret marriage that no one knew
about. The son died as they thought
unmarried and now it is proven that
he had been married and had a son.
Therefore, the property belongs to
him." Tom sat down on the couch
and tried to draw her down beside
him, but sho was too excited to sit
down.
"I do not believe a word of it. It is
a trumped up case, anybody can nee
that."
"The lawyer says he has gone over
the proofs and is convinced that there
was a legal marriage." Tom felt that
he was heating against a stone wall;
he could make no impression on his
wife.
"He has been paid a sum of money
to decide that they are legal without
a doubt."
"Even if that is so," answered Tom,
"we have no money to bid higher for
a different verdict."
"Do you mean you are going to
tamely submit to this injustice; that
you are going to sit down and be
cheated out of everything?" blazed
the girl.
"What else can I do?" he asked
wearily. Marjory began to cry, fling
ing herself on the couch In the aban
donment of grief.
"There, dear you're all upset." Ho
patted her head in a half-hearted
way.
"So clever of you to see it. Most
people would not have noticed it,"
snapped the desperate girl.
"Fee here, Marge, you act os if I
had personally defrauded you. I
guess it will fall as heavily on me
JIS anyone with debts piled sky high.
Saying sharp things is not going to
make a bad situation better." Tom's
tone was dreary in the extreme.
"Oh, it has got to be gasolined
gloves and madeover dresses and the
wolf at the door all the time," she
sobbed, wiping her eyes with the wet
ball of a handkrehief In her hot hand.
"Now you see why I was so dis
turbed when the papers published our
expectations. If things had been kept
quiet, as I wanted them to be, wo would
be living quietly in the apartment and
no one would be the wiser. Of
course you were not to blame that
the notice got in the paper." Marjory
was thankful that Tom did not know
she had given the reporter the infor
mation. "But you insisted on buying
everything in sight after you saw you

Kitty Lou's Drink
Kitty Lott, the pretty little gray
house cat, looked at her clean whits
drinking cup with disdain.
"I'm bo tired of drinking out of you
all the time," she said, as she pushed
the cup with her paw. "Other kit
tens don't have to drink out of a
freshly-washed white cup—they can
drink out of anything they find.
And I wish I could, too."
Now anybody would hare supposed
that a dainty little gray kitten such
as Kitty Lou was would have much
preferred to drink out of a nice,
clean cup. In fact she looked like a
kitten who would touch water from
nothing else. That simply shows
how deceiving looks are! Kitty Lou,
with everything heart could wish for.
aspired for a drink out of a puddle!
But, dearie me! With the careful
watching she received she had no
chance to run and hunt for dirty pud
dies—or clean ones either for that
matter!
But one morning Kitty Lon's mis
tress went to visit her grandmother
and that left Kitty Lou free for ths
day, lor all the grown folks of the
house were too busy cleaning house
to pay any attention to a mere kit
ten. So Kitty Lou, with a delight
ful sense of adventure, wandered out
into the garden to Bee If something
wouldn't happen to her.
And It did.
