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.

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. The manufacturers, on. their
side, may say that they can't produce
better photo plays until better photo
plays are written. The scenario writ

(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

is coming.
