That fact ought to be understood at the outset. Only by a true M sense of their importance can they be treated with due seriousness. They are important; but also, in their pres-l S cnt *orm> l^c7 arc impossible. The hand is Esau's, but the voice isi Bfli overtures are symptomatic.! /J? therein 'ies their importance. They are not wholly sincere; therein lies ??80 \wSf l^c*r tmP?sstbility. f[\y . IjKl In the first place, Germany is the ?;/ moving spirit. The signatory is the ' / Jmy I Royal Austria-Hungary government;! BL' 1 but the author of the document is quartered in Berlin. ?Jb; War-weary, beaten Austria-HunM V%- gary is but a tool. The Dual KingM 4b b doms want peace, want peace genuwm ij inely and sincerely?none knows this W j better than Kaiser KarL The German b i militarists do not want peace. They b m want to keep on with the war and Eb BOH m\ the people have no stomach for it. Kb ? Ja Too many bereaved homes have phoiFtographs of the Kaiser where once tbey had sons. The only way to so m g? - hdify the people for the continuance M\ ; of the war is to plead for peace. Then when the plea falls unheeded, the militarists will proclaim again a wkr of --T defense, a war for the preservation of the homeland. The peace plea is genuine with Aus' tria and hypocritical with Germany. &| Austria-Hungary sees the grim spectre of starvation and tells the imyM minence of revolt. She is cracking under the strain. She cannot continue XfjzSk ^ much longer. That is why the peace yjfl *" overtures are called symptomatic. Soon Austria-Hungary must be as imvfj potent as poor little, yet courageous, Roumania. ^ Germany's only hope is to solidify her own pc?pl? with that cry, "Defend the Fatherland!" Soon she may be alone. ^ Bulgaria is sick of the struggle. . The Balkan situation needs the states " ? : manshio of a Venizelos.

She rues her decision now. Turkey?well, the campaign of misinformation, the inciting of the Holy War?all this has been paled by the fact of Britain's peaceful occupancy of Bagdad and Jerusalem. The unspeakable Turk is also the speechless Turk?he is too full for utterance. He has discovered a uuui cnuiaiaim of old: "Ye cannot serve two masters." He was beguiled and led by a man who wore a fez one day and a helmet the next; who spoke of Gott in one breath and Mohammed the next. The Sultan is a very sick man today. In fact, he has more maladies than Abdul Hamid ever knew. But he has begun to perceive. He has glimpsed truth. The peace overtures are also important because they are the first direct approach. They cannot be wholly disregarded. But they are impossible because they are predicated upon falsehood. Germany was led into the war by a campaign eff lies. And the militarists have shown more fear of exposure to truth than to artillery. The peace plea in its present form is but a pretext for dHving out truth with a lie. The Book of Books tells of the capture of the Ark of the Covenant. It was set side by side with the idol Dagon. In the morning Dagon was on his face on the ground. So he was put in his place again. When next he ' 1 1 ? ? Krrtlr?n Sfl th* I was iuumi iic rraa o? v-v... ? -? Philistine decided to get rid of the Ark; not to get rid of Dagon. They sent the truth away when it shot across the lie. So with Germany. Truth, crushed to earth rises again, and the Germans try to avoid her, to send her away. Until there is in Germany a responsible government that knows its potency well enough to venture no effort for the ultimate triumph of the false, there can be no peace. The new peace must be builded upon foundations of truth and righteousness. The truth shall make us free and in that day none shall be afraid. DERSIZED DOLLAR then) now, and get fifty-nine cents worth? Or put them aside and -wait until they begin to make a noise like a real dollar again? You don't have I to be a graduate of a business college to figure that out for yourself. Putting them away, however, would be a rather unpatriotic thing to do, were it not for the fact that a way has been found to make it one of the most patriotic acts you can perform. The Government has to spend dollars now, fifty-nine cents or not. So you I wr +r\ th* Gnvern merit and let it use them to win the war with. And then, when you are paid back, you will have some nice one-hundred-cent dollars, ph? a little bit more for your trouble. When, as a matter of fact, it was no trouble at all?just good common sense. DEMOCRACY IS AN ARMY their own fighting the police of any large American aty would be able to take care of them. The German autocrats are the Kaiser and his "ring." The ring is made up of fifty-seven royal families, who hold a pompous control over their little countries, once independent, but now united into a group composing the German Empire. Prussia. > ?!... the at then ' coootrie^Ta* big tafly of the lot. and the Kaiser la boae among the autocrats. The Germans haVe a body which corresponds to oar United States Senate, not instead of the memben being -elected by, the people in the different coon tries, it is made np of the rnlen of those states, and this council of princes, with the Kaiser, runs Germany. Within the ring also are, of course, merchant princes, lords of the stock market and other big interest!, who hope that their wealth will some day Boat them to some of the numerous titles of high rank which the Kaiaer keeps dangling before their noses. The ring gets its chief support from the land owners, who have an intolerant outlook on life because they rent their lands to the poor peasants, and the income from this source is sufficient to support them in leisure. Naturally this class of men, which are called junkers, do not want to see democracy in Germany. They might lose their castles and be forced to work like the res! of us. The German Government assisted the merchant' Flag Of i BY EARL BALD What is it thrills the souls of men when the war drams shriek and rattle?

There v was none-bigger, or better armed, or better drilledin the world. But it did not win. The forces of democracy, determined, Kke any free man, to fight for his liberty whenever and wherever it is assailed, are arrayed against German autocracy. They do not have to be told to fight They decide for themselves. They fight fot^themsehres and for all men who want to be free.
