Some will see a remarkable coin cidence in the fact that these an nouncements are made at almost the same moment. They will say that great events often happen in pairs. They will point to the discovery of the north and south poles within a short period, after scores of years of unsuccessful attempts. They will ad duce the discovery of the Dlanet Nen- tune in England and Germany at the same time. But the achievements of science cannot be attributed to coin cidence. So many men are working with the same material along the same line that it is not so remarkable as it seems that more than one man arrives at the goal at almost the same ! time. WOMEN MEET TO AGREE (Continued From Page One) THE PLIGHT OF THE MOVIES "They re not making pictures with the punch they once did. Most of the pictures "are too' heavy. Either the long drawn out films break of thcii own weight or there is nothing in the short pictures." That reason for an apparent decline of the motion picture business in the city was given by L. W. Brophy, sec ond vice-president of the Exhibitors' league, in convention in Chicago. Mr. Brophy blames the manufac turers.

G.. Recruiting . Officer. 8-10-10t. (By CARL W. ACKERMAN) Berlin, July 5. (By Mail). Ger many wants oeace beranan ohp lieves she has won the war. Thn Al lies don't want peace because they ucneve tney will win the war. ine difference is between the "has won" and the "will win" and n Innir as there is this rlivinmn thn i.ii.ll diplomats in Berlin, the best informed neutral observers, declare there is no possibility of peace. 1 The people the world over are en couraged by peace talk and at the end of 2 years of war they are ready to make peace, each on its own terms. So are the German officials, the Brit ish cabinet and the government of b ranee, but the public terms are such thnt an agreement could nnt. nnw hn easily made. Ihe irreat dlffp.renrp hpr-wnnn hn Allies and the Central niwum is that xne oentral Dowers are nnpn tn im partial mediation while the Allies dis courage the idea. The Allies, when their being beaten back in France, and in Russia and when Servia was invaded, said to the public: "Don't mind these things; we will win ultimately. The Central powers have convinced the German people that every great mili tary advance was a step toward vic tory and that because there have been so many of them the Central powers have been victorious. That is the peace situation at the close of the second year of the war, according to the view in Berlin. It raises many questions. Would Wil son he acceptable as a mediator or. if not Wilson, then the next, nresidpnt ? I would uermanv insist on the npnro terms sne nas outlined? ine answers depend on coming events, ihey will be influenced bv military developments. The election m the United States will have its ef fect. Internal affairs in thn vnrinnc countries will increase or modify the respective peace views. There is a peace party in Germany Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollwck leads it. Some of the. Cnnsprvntivn members of the Reichstag are his op ponents. Thev know thnt if thn P.hnn- cellor mnkes peace now he will not in sist on the annexation of Belgium and Poland and thnt his terms will be moderate". The rnnsnrvntivps Innrl tho nartv which believes fiprmnnv hna been decisively successful in this war and they think Germany should die tnte iron clad terms. Thev know the Chancellor will never support their I terms so they nre out to oust him. The harder thnv ficht the stmncwr tho Chancellor becomes. Bismarck had a snan compared to the Chancellor's -.sit ion today. Bismarck had every thing his own way, but his view of the world did not extend bevond thn boundaries of the United Gorman Km. pire which he founded. Todnv thin its are different. Ger many needs n Cbnncpllnr whn inn sun Germany in her relation to the rest of 1 the world. Such is the view point of von Bethmann-llollwpg. The Conservatives have the stand pat viewpoint of Bismarck. Tho Chan cellor is n Progressive. So is the Kniscr. History will show that neith er the Kaiser nor Hollweg wanted war, but that stronger forces did want and got It. The Chancellor was severely criti cised in the Reichstag a fe days ago because he "postponed mobilization of the German army three days at the beginning of the war." The Chancellor replied that he re gretted that he could not have post poned it longer. Even the Socialists know that the Chancellor will make peace whenever it is honorably nossihle. Tho nnn-nln . - - wflb know it too and and they are ready to help. The people talk about peace. There are rumors of peace constantly. It is impossible to discuss peace terms in the papers, but privately the people me preparing xnemselves for any peace conferences that may develop. They will be as prepared for peace as they were for war. So far as Germany is cocnerned, the President of the United States, wheth ei he is Wilson or the republican nom inee, will be welcome as a peace medi ator, provided he does not come forth with a definite orocram and rlotnnnt peace along the lines desired by peo ple in America. The only requirement nf tho Clor. man neonle ree-ardinc n is that he be "FAIR". Tho war can end bv full nr W there is another winter campaign if. as the Chancellor and Count Tiszn said, the interests of the ers as European nations are respec ted. The German neonle. bpli pvn ihmr are fighting a defensive war and they are ready to make terms at any time their future existence as a nati nn nan be secured. ' Germany, like England. must insist mibliclv UDon hrnnd tprmo because nubliclv the nat.innnl lnnHni.D cannot change their positions too much or they will lose the confidence of the public and inspire too much hope in the hearts of the opponents. ' While in Vienna recently, Ambas sador Penfield said: "It is all right to talk about these foreign ennntn'nu. being ruled by Emperors, Czars, Kings ano rresiaents, out wnen the people throughout the world begin to talk peace as they have this summer, peace is coming. Public ODinion rules the world init public opinion will bring peace." Hunters Are Warned.. DeDUtv Game Warden -Tnhn WoMnn. is todav rnlltno. nHpninn nf cnnn. v.u..
