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. It does but little good to c.v
prtiute on the principles of rinlit con
duct after the war is ended. The
thing to be mnde plain is thnt the
power that has been Instrumental in
plunging the world, into a sea of blood
rnust he stamped out. , There Is no
peace short of that.
