he smiled. Hia attitude was consid
erably like that of Mark Twain who,
when- informed of his own reported
demise replied with a dry chuckle that
the report had been grossly exagge
rated. Rodzianko was emphatic but un
fretted. He appeared to know where
of he spoke.
"Peace now would be the' greatest
blow ever suffered by Russia." Shid
lovsky declared. "Perhaps our great

war is our economic independence of
Germany. Peace at this juncture

"We have thrown off this yoke. The

er binds. When peace and victory
come, Russia will hold the new free
dom she had won and developed her
own industries to the profit oft nor

"These are somo of the benefits of
the war which Russia expects. Until
Germany is beaten .we can not get

And he should know, being a land
owner and farmer himself. He came
direct from his plantation downnear
Moscow to take part in the Duma
proceedings, fresh from among the
countryfolk, the backbone of Russia.
To the President of the Duma I put
the question: .

None other.
Within the last three months, or the
last quarter of the first two years of
the war, Franco four times official
ly has said so.

minister, a spontaneous outburst in

France closed the second year of the
war with an absolutely solid front for
a peace for all time to come.
May 14 at Nancy, President Poin
vaire delivered perhaps the most re
markable address that ever fell from
the lips of a French President. It
chrystallized the sentiments of the
"French on peace.
"We do not want our enemies to
'offer us peace," he declared, "but we
want them to demand it of us. We
do not want to accept the conditions
they have to offer: we want to im-
'pose on them our own. We do not
want a peace that will leave Imperial
.Germany mistress to recommence the
war when she chooses; we want a
peace based on restored right with
serious guarantees of equilibrium and
stability. And until that peace is as
sured, until our enemies recognize
themselves defeated, we will never
cease to fight."
The French press without a dissent
ing voice upheld these words. Prime
Minister Briand within a week pub
licly confirmed the position of M.
Poincaire as that of the French gov
ernment itself.
In refusing to accept the olive
branch of diplomacy as a means of
settlintr the wnr France did not fear
that in diplomatic negotiations with
Germany she might be worsted. She
is willine to let her victory in the
Agadir case stand as a witness to her
diplomatic superiority. Germany re
fused in July-and August of 1914 to
accept diplomacy to settle the contro
versy. She insisted upon war and
France insists that Germany must
finish with war.
Following these declarations there
came within a week n spontaneous
outburst in the French chamber as
still further affirmation that France
docs not wartt even to discuss a ne
gotiable peace.
M. Raffin-Dugens, socialist mem
ber, had just returned from Kienthal,
Switzerland, where in a private ca
pacity he had attended the Second
International Socialistic conierence
to Bring About Peace. Arising, hi
demanded the right to speak on "cer
tain discourses pronounced recently
in the name of France, some of which
were not calculated to bring about
peace. The two blocks oi nations tnat
hnve rushed at each other's throats."
He cot no further. The chamber
to a man rose in a storm of protest.
was long before President Des-
chanel could make himself heard. "I
am astounded,"' he finally managed
to cry out, "that any Frenchman could
even intimate that the provocation for
the present war did not come solely
from the side of Germany." M. Raffin-Dugens
apologized and the only
chance ever offered to the French
chamber to discuss peace was buried.
The people themselves followed
quickly, within a week, with one of
those manifestations that, mark
epochs in the life of nations. Be
fore the present war France was not
united on the question of prepared
'ncss. If a regiment of troops passed
it was certain someone would applaud
and cry "Viva l'armee"; and that
someone else would shout "Vive la
Paix." Noisy groups would form and
riots were likelv to follow.
' On June 1, in honor of her dead
' general, Gallieni, Paris witnessed the
first great military display that has
taken place since the war began. As
cension day is one of the great na
tional holidays of France. Represen
tatives !of all France lined the streets
through which the funeral cortege
passed.
Ordinarily people do not applaud at
funeral. But the French .waiting
until the body of Gallieni had passed
applauded and cheered the troops
representing every branch of the
rrench army.
A quiet handclapping began .at

The violets had been intended for
Gallieni, but when the cortege began
moving, these women suddenly saw

death of Gallieni the man who Vnd

troops that followed they saw what
must ultimately save all Franco. And
