A TIME TO SAVE
The Hermiston Herald
Our best course is to leave to
government officials the work of
bringing spies and traitors to
justice. Our individual interfer
ence might have a tendency to
muddy the waters.
There is only one thing certain
about the financial and commer
cial conditions that peace is going
to bring and that is their uncer
tainty. It may be that an era of
great prosperity may be upon us;
it may be an era of stagnation;
it may be an era of the severest
competition we have ever exper
ienced.
It involves a paradox, but in
this present time of comparative
commercial peace, for the great
war has largely stopped for a
time the struggle among nations
for foreign commerce, it is a wise
thing to prepare for the economic
war that will succeed the present
world-wide war.
It is well for every American
citizen to lay aside in some
solutely safe security something
for that day that is coming. If
it be prosperity one will be able
to take advantage of it. If it he
stagnation one will be enabled
to live through it If it be a bit
ter competition one will be better
able to w thstand it

Intervention by Friendly Neu-
to End Conflicts Between Na
Hao Cut a Small Figuro In
of tho Laot Century and a Half.
The impression that nations desiring
to end • war generally avail them-
selves of the offer of some friendly
neutral to act as mediator is utterly un-
founded.
When England desired to end the
war with the colonies she began by
sending separate negotiators to the
French government and to the Ameri
can commissioners in Paris. The lat
ter, though positively commanded by
congress to negotiate no peace without
the participation of their French al-
Ues. did sign a separate treaty, though
with the reservation that it should not
go into effect until France bad made
peace. They then Informed the French
government, which accepted the terms.
The Napoleonic peace treaties usual
ly began with an armistice. The most
famous, the treaty of Tilsit, was
brought about by a personal meeting
between Napoleon and Alexander I.
on a raft in the middle of the river
Niemen to agree upon an armistice
which the czar bad already sought
Napoleon’s fall in 1814 was accompa
nied by no negotiations; the allies were
actually In Paris. Napoleon’s generals
persuaded him to sign an act of abdi
cation, and the French senate dethron
ed him.
The way to the peace of Ghent, which
ended the war of 1812, was paved by
an offer of tbe czar to act as mediator,
though it was rejected. In rejecting It
Lord Castlereagh let It be known that
be was willing to negotiate directly
with the United States. The United
States gladly accepted and sent com
missioners, but England neglected to
appoint envoys until long afterward,
when her troubles had become so great
that she was desirous of peace.
On tbe death of Czar Nicholas L his
successor, Alexander II., announced to
the courts of Europe his desire that the
Crimean war should end. A peace con
ference was held In Vienna, but In
three months It was broken off and the
war resumed. The war went on until
Austria, a neutral power, threatened
to join the allies unless the czar ac
cepted her ultimatum. He at first re
fused, but a personal letter from tbe
neutral king of Prussia induced him to
reconsider, and tbe final peace confer
ence was held.
In 1870 tbe French government which
succeeded Napoleon III. asked for an
armistice, then for peace, but tbe re
quests were declined and tbe siege of
Paris began. After tbe surrender of
Paris the Germans consented to an
armistice to permit the election of a
national assembly which it could rec
ognize. The preliminaries of peace
were agreed on between Bismarck and
Thiers at Versailles, and tbe treaty
followed at Frankfort.
Tbe Russo-Turkish war was cut abort
by England's threat to enter it Russia
arranged an armistice immediately and
negotiated tbe treaty of San Stefano
directly with Turkey. England, backed
by France and Austria, refused to rec
ognize it and the congress of Berlin
was summoned, but before it met tbe
czar had negotiated a secret treaty
with England embodying most of tbe
agreements subsequently made there.
The terms of peace between the
United States and tbe Confederacy
were arranged by generals In tbe field.
The Spanish-American war of 1898
closed when Spain on July 20 made
overtures to the United States through
Cambon, tbe French ambassador at
Washington. Seventeen days later tbe
protocol was signed.
Tbe Boer war ended tn an unprece-
dented way. Tbe members of the
Transvaal government rode into Mid
dleburg and requested to be sent to
Lord Kitchener to arrange peace terms
with him. Ho met them, but held that
because of the peculiar character of
tho Boer army the men in the field
would have to be consulted if any as
surance of peace was to be given
Steyn, De Wet and Delarey went to
the commandos, explained tbe situa
tion to them, and each body tn tbe field
chose two delegates to meet at Veree-
niging and decide tbe matter by vote.
President Roosevelt brought the Rus-
so-Japanese war to an end by sending
on June 8, 1905, identic dispatches to
both governments urging that they en
ter into peace negotiations. Both ac
cepted and sent envoys to the United
States to negotlats tbe treaty of Ports
month.
Ths ways of ending wars, therefore,
are various, and mediation has played
an infinitesimal part in the wars of tbe
