No Peace Yet
I'4iladvlp4. • 1'u bib Ledger.
Talk of pear. at this time is prema-
ture. It may be that the German
(i,.verswent sincerely desires to come
to terms with the allies. In spite of
the fact that German soil is as yet un -
invaded, that German coops hold
their own or better on all the borders,
the long wearing -out process an only
have use result. There is naturally
every wish to hasten it. But a peace
which did not eliminate the t*U.ms of
the war would be worse than futile.
German was the aggressor: she
thrust this conflict upon ,Europe: she
wade bar wintery supremacy the
stake. Therefore she must not be left
i0 a posit on to renew tar conflict at
her own convenience. It would Irefully
to attempt 4 l destroy a great nation,
but it would also be fully not to des-
troy the capacity for mist -bier. on an
unparalleled scale of which this war
has given so *Ingle an illustration.

STRATEGY OF THE RUSSIAN RE-
TREAT
it is boldly to be supposed that Ger•
many intends t , conquer Russia. ler
even a large part thereof. 1t seems
most probable that G. many has
hoped to smash the Russian army l.y
a sudden terrific t•low with enormous
forces. Her aim, (probably, is to put
the Russian army completely nut of the
f1 -Id and then torn to the sober allies
On the utbet hand, the Russian aim,
in this long retreat, has been to bold
its line intwt and inflict the leveteet
possible 10e0. keeping just far enough
away to avoid dangerous loses and
yet not to: far to lure tbe enemy on.
If the Rusiaas ran compel the lose of
one Gertn.n soldier fur every Russian
soidirr lo.t, that slow. will be an ad-
vantage gained By reports, they
recta to have done considerably bet-
ter. Iiut the biggest point gained is
that of stretching out the line. of the
e•nemy'• forces and getting them con•
tiou.oly farther from their hare of

lies in the tact,tbatthe Ruseiaom will he
stile to choose their own battle ground

ernce against the Gerwaam, just u the
allies di.1 before Paris. When they
do give battle, it will be with full sup-
