PEACE FEELERS. Damn von Iiurtan, Austrn-Huu gnry foreign minister, is out with pence suggestions in which he snys, :"We are prepared to discuss every thing except our own territory." The principal four points of President Wil ! sen's Fourth of "July address are ac cepted as being fair and honorable, iar.d there is a covert endorsement of the American chief executive. Then follows the Inevitable declara- tria-Hungary cannot, make concession not In harmony with this theory. There is not likely to be any serious considerations of pence proposals which arc based on this one propo sition. It is a delusion which none f the central powers can or will admit. But all the evidence Is to the direct showing that the war was started on any other reason than that of defense of the central powers. , Could they not see that no defense could scarcely muster Up enough men and materials for their owj defense against the invaders? A yuur's time was required to get nnything like an 1 effective fighting force to' meet the Piussinn army which wiik the none of forty years' continuous prepare- ; tion.
