PEACF. RUMOURS ~
Rumours of peace, concluded or
impending, gain currency from
time to time and the eagerness \vitli-
which they are swallowed indicates
very clearly the general war weari-
ness and the hunger for peace.
Nothing is to be gained by these
rumours and no good can come of
placing too much reliance upon
them. ' ;
Peace undoiibtedly is coming but
as yet it is on the far horizon. lt
has been clearly set forth-' by the
Allied governments that the \var
can come to an end oniv by uncon-
ditional surrender of (iermany.
our recent dcspatches wlncli mli-
mated that the Allictl (_»overnments
had agreed upon the terms
\vhich they \vould consent to an
_armistice and also on the condi-
tions of peace which they shall ex-
act of Germany. These terms and
conditions will permit of no pre-
varication on the part of (icrniany
they mean complete surrender of
the German Army and Navy, oc-
cupation by the Allies of the forti-
fied border towns, llelligoland and
the Krupp Works. the evacuation
of Alsace and Lorraine, besides
restitution to and restoration of~
llelgiuin, indeninities to l"rancc
and other conditions which it is
unnecessary to repeat and which
simply mean that (lermany lnust
be in a condition of absolute im-
o

_ .~`iu<;i=,iJt>t\1 <
This was further corroborated by
- : oni ~
potence before an armistice is ag-
reed to. _ _
, i}emiany’s ans\ver to this has
not yet been received but’ it is not
too much to assume that she is not
ready for such an armistice or
such a peace. \\'ith an army of
three or four millions, a fleet of
battlesliips and submarines, her
armies still in the territory of her
enemies, although she knows she
is beaten. she is not yet sufficiently
beaten to accept unconditional
surrender. She wants' peace but she
wants to have a say in the condi-
tions_
As fr,equentl_v stated in these col-
umns it is possible that internal
conditions in (lerniany may become
such as to precipitate peace before
she is sufficiently “licked" to take
what the .\llies are going to give
her eventually. This failing, there
is nothing for it but to go on with
the licking till :he cries “enough”
and is glad to quit_Then, and not
till then, she ~will be ready for un-
conditional surreiidcr.In the mean-
time let ns leave all peace talk to
Foch; he is speaking the only lan-
guage that Germany can under-
stand.
The collapse of Austria and Tur-
key, and the opening up of the
Dardanelles, recorded in our yes-
terday's despatchcs will no doubt
'hasten the end, but German crook-
edness and treachery are,yet to be
reckoii_ed with.

iF THE SEAS
Une of the fourteen principles of
peace put forth by l’resitlei1l VVil-
son declnrt-ra for “freedom of the
seas in “peace and \vai'." lt is very
necessary that this be fully elucid-
ated because it may contain the
root. of important differences among
the Allies. llritain, whose supreme
navy has been the great mainstay of
the Allied cause, and the world`s
safety, cannot consent to any “free-
dom of "the seas" according to the
German definition, andthe pro-
position that- there should be free-
dom of the seas in war, as well as
in peace, requires prolonged con-I
sideration of what future war con-
ditions niay be. lf one thing is
more certain than another it is that
the llritisli people will refuse ab-
solutely to'ahandon for a moment
that naval policy which alone is the
final security of the llritish lim-,
pire. The Germans have had ex-
cellent reasons for wishing in any:
way possible to cripple the effect-g
iveness of the I-lritish navy. lts,
blockade has ‘been slbwly throttling
them, amid thc cheers of most of
the civilized world. lf they could
procure an international agreemen:
protecting merthant ships from
capture at sea, even in war, they
would lit one .stroke nullify the
power of the Britisli navy, This was
the root of the objection to the
Conference of London. The United
States Governnient itself has cham-
pioned the legitimacy of a block-
ade of an enctny`s coast, and of the
capture of enemy ships at sea. Such
a right is inherent, and no agree-
ment can be effective that abolish-
es it. Whatever Mr. Wilson may
mean by “freedom of the seas in
peace and war" he cannot mean
dislocqiou or curtaiinient of the
right and power of the British navy
to sweep the.seas of the enemies of
civilization, and to conduct war
against such criminal aggressors as
the Germans by every legitimate
means. The navy that stood by
Dewey in Manila Bay is riot the
navy to abuse its power, Freedom
of trade around the seas is granted
all in peace time, and the Germans
will enjoy it after the war. But no
one will succeed in the conference
room in impairing what the Ger-
mans have failed to pull down at
sea-British naval power.~
l-l OG MARKETING
_ -é;_l-  _
' In early fall and late spring ai
good deal of loss is often incurred
both by farmers and buy-
ers iu the killing and
buying of hogs during unseasosi-
able weather. During the past few
days, the city buyers inform us,
carcasses were received here in a
very unsatisfactory condition. The
hogs had been killed on a rainy
day, shiped during a rainstorin and
when received in the city were in
a condition which rendered por-
tions of them unfit for packing.
These losses can be avoided by .sel-
ecting a clear cool day for slaiigli-
N-_ri,\g_ Many, no doubt to save time
take a rainy day for their killing
because other work cannot be done.
It isa serious riistake and cannot
ibut cause loss ei her to the farmer
or the buyer or both. In a season
when every pound of food is need-
ed and when every pound is worth
an unusually high price no chances
should be taken. Time is no doubt
valuable and there may be a tem-
ptation to do work on a rainy day
when outdoor work is impossible
but the first consideration should
be given to conservation, especially
conservation of food.

SOCIALISM: ‘_‘Should the

are unable to support' themselves?"
asks \Vill S. 1 believe there is
such a law as this in England and
in Australia and I think in som;
other European countries. At any
ratc it is a la\v which should ` be
enacted in every civilized country.
Faithul men and women who have
been respected and industrious in
life and have not been able to savi-
nioney should be cared for by thc
state when they are too old to worl~;
for themselves.
MAsTERs AND. SERV
VANTS: “\Vhat should be th-'.-
relation between masters and
servants in a true democracy?"
asks “A Servant.” The relation
should be fraternal. Masters
should realize what is a fact, that
they are made of the same flesh and
blood as their servants, and that
in the last analysis, they are th:
same in any event. With our
`civilization it seems essential that
there should be both masters and
servants, but they should respect
and honor each other and study
each other’s interests.

BETWEEN OURSELVES
Is the world getting better oi
worse, This appears to be a very
debatable question, both sides
having many supporters. What is
your opinion? Its a big subject.
Personally I have no hesitation, in
saying, that the majority_of people
are lovers of pleasure more than
lovers of God, and that spiritual
wickedness predominates in high
as well as in low places.
After all, my brother or sister
(reading these lines) the question
should be worded. Is the world
better or worse for ()URliving in
it_” That’s the question, that
should interest us most just now.
The words of our Saviour, are be-
autiful (Matthew 5-16 “Let
your light 'so shine before men
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is
in Heaven.”
I gave my life to thee. _
My precious blood I shed,
That thou migIit’s ransomed be,
And quickcned from the dead;
I gave, I gave My 'life for thee, _
What hast»thou given tome?
‘foh Lord of Hosts ho with! as
yet, Lest we forget, lest welfar-
.get.” During these days of anxiety,
amidst separations, much sickness,
bereavenients, business cares, high
'cost of living, and actual need in
many cases, how much we should
be in the spirit of prayer that 'our
Heavenly Father,-might help us
redeem the time, and be of service
to others. In -A this connection
