The War.
It was but to be expected that. the United States or some other neutral nation in the forefront of civilization should not miss the elightest opportunity of suggest- ing mediation between the belligerents with a view to bring. ing about a cessation of hostilities and, if possible, of paving the
ay towards an early and peace- ful solution of the turmoil, in which the leading natione of Europe find themselvesat present. The tentative suggestions that have been put forward have met with the only possible result, namely, that they have been considered as premature, The German Imperial Chancellor seems to have somewhat haughtily Huggested that it would be more fitting to submit them to the Allies "who had made a compact regarding peas," Of coures, that is precisely, the attitude one might have expected from the Germans at presint. Later, they will probably be lose arrogant › and more amenable to reason, as they will unquestionably find it more advantageous for them than the Allies to think of peace.
