For three years President Wilson did his utmost fur pence and was laughed-to scorn while (ici'iiiaii agression upon America became holder and holder, forcing 1 lie I'ltiled Slates to demonstrate its tfi'i in readiness to fight for its rights. A million Ameri cans on the battle line will win respectful hearing for peace proposals because it; is 1 lie mi"Jil that constitutes rijjlit. to the (leniian mind. The sham character of the peace proposals made by "Jeriiiaiiy last, winter and since reiterated are fully ex posed by .Mr. (Jeranl. When ( 'hancellor Von 1 t 1 1 n ui i i i i Ilolhveo; was asked by Mr. (lerard what, his peace terms were, he was evasive. When asked, "Art; the (!erniaiis willing to withdraw from I Senium V 1 1 t cliaitcellor re jilied: "Yes, but with Kuarantnes. Wo must, possibly, have tho forts of l.fcKO und 'Nuiuur. Wc must have other forts nnd arrisoiiK thriiout Bel gium. We must have possession of Iho railroad lines. Wo must have pos session of the ports and other means of communications. The Belgians will not be allowed to maintain (in army, but wo must ho allowed to retain a lai'Ke army in Hcllum. Wo niu.it havo tlm eomiaerelal control of Bel gium. Wo cannot allow Belgium to lie an outpost of KuKtuad." In addition. Yon Tirpit. is (pioted as declaring that (lie coast of Flanders must be returned by (ferinauy, in order to make war on Fmlaiid. The followiii"; conversat iojt followed between Mr. Ger ard and the chancellor: "How about northern Franco'.'" 1 "We aro willing to leave northern France,' Iho chancellor responded, but there mast be a rectification or tho frontier." "How about Iho eastern frontier?" "We must havo a very substantial rectification of our frontier." "'How about. ItiimanlaV" "We shall leave Bulgaria to deal with Rumania." "How about Serbia?" "A very small Serbia may be allowed to exist, but that is a question for Austria. Austria must bo left to do what she wishes to with Italy, and wo must have indemnities from all countries, and all our ships and colonies back." Of course, "rectification of tho frontier" is a polite term for "annexa tion," says Mr. (lerard. Here is the official (lerinan idea of a peace "without annexations" an enslaved I!eli;iiini, a (icrnianized north ern h'rance, ( 'oiii land and I'oland German provinces, Serbia an Austrian province, Rumania enslaved by IJul ,naria, Italy mulcted by Austria an enlarged Germany doiniiiat in;;' central Furope from the North sea and the llaltic to the I .lack and Adriatic seas beyond to the Per sian gulf indemnities from the countries Germany has raped, pillaged and slaughtered, including America, and nil her ships and colonies back. Such a peace is possible only for a triumphant Ger many. Any serious discussion of peace at the present time will he interpreted by Germany as dictated by fear of her prowess a sign of failure by the allies. It will be seized upon as an interval of recuperation to renew the struggle for "Deiitschland nber Alles." America and our allies are discussing peace in the only terms Germany can comprehend armed might. The best possible peace arguments are (he Hritish, French atid Italian offensives, the reorganization of the Russian army and the military preparations of the United States. The sooner America can strike, and strike hard the (jiiicker will peace come for peace h only possible when German militarism is beaten to its knees and German autocracy destroyed. The pope in his pence proposals states thai the "firs! of Jill I'niidnmenlnl points" for pe.-ice is Hint "for the 111:1 tcrinl force of arms be substituted the moral force of right." This is impossible, because German jiutocrjicy recognizes no law of God or man which inlerl'el'Ps with "military necessity." Justice nnd eiiiality have no place in the kaiser's decjilogue, nnd the Gerinnn government lias sluiinelessly proclaimed that no laws, rules or guaranteed are binding upon it. There is honor jiniong thieves but no honor or good fait h in the Geriu.-in nntocrjicy. It is im possible to make peace with l'russianisiii. It must be (le st roved. Remember the Or. ,1.

General Pctain, coiumander-iu chief of he French armies, paid hi; first visit today to the American troops in Fiance ami expressed himself us delighted witli what he saw. "I am exceedingly v'ewsed and gratified with what 1 have seen during this inspection," be said. "Training has progressed so well that f Peel certain the American troops will form an excellent fighting force in a very short time." The French general was nceom panied by Major Cleueral John J. Pershing, the American commander. and both left this afternoon for the French front, where they will remain several days. They had a. very busy day, motoring n hundred miles or more and inspecting almost every vil lage in which Americans are billeted. In addition. General Pctain held a review id' Ihe famous chasseur divis ion, which has been training the Americans for the last month. Addressing the officer of this di vision, General Pelain said they had rendered a notable service both to France ami to America, and that their battalions had become sister battalions to the American conting ent. The Americans, be bad added, had expressed the hope that some day they would have the privilege of fighting alongside their French in structors, and of proving what npl pupils they can be. General Pelain spoke of the (dan of the chasseurs, nf ihe high morale of the French army they represented, and recalled to them that their duty was always to inculcate fins morale in I heir fellow divisions. Major General Pershing also was much pleased with bis inspection of Ihe American troops, lie noted material improvements everywhere. WASlItXGTOX, Aug'. 21.. His overy of hookworm infection in -17 out of 7.i militaVv recruits reecnllv nt to tie mobilized for war service has caused public heallb service au thorities to recommend prompt ex- imiuation of all units of the national ;uard and national army at present organized, especially those from the wanner portions of the country. Danger of a widespread epidemic f hookworm in Kurope is pointed u. if even light cases are sent to the trenches. Those dangers can be pre vented to a very great, extent, au thorities say, if recruits are system atically examined for intestinal par asites and either treated in the Amer ican training camps or discharged, is necessity indicates.
