Phis time it comes through a report which is credited to Germany to the effect that the kaiser is about] to suggest to President Wilson and King Alfonso of Spain, as heads of neutral nations, that the central pow- ers are ready to talk of settlement The suggestion, if it is true, comes from the side which, because o¥ the success it has had in invading the territory of its enemies, may consider it has the best opportunities for driv- ing the best bargain. That the Teu- tons are not being driven out of the west, that they are practically holding their position in the east, that the ef- fort to open the Dardanelles has not sueceeded and the success which has followed the drive for the opening communication between the central powers and Turkey furnish the op- portunity for the advancing of such a proposition cannot ‘be guestioned. It is a time when it would be likely to have an important effett upon any other countries which are considering the possibility of entering the war even though Germany and its allies have not obtained any decisive vic- tory. It has not been disclosed that there is ‘any" disposition upon the part of the entente allies to entertain such an idea. The manner in which the plan for securing more enlistments in Great. Britain is succeeding, the evidence that the allies are able to advance, though slowly, on the western front and that Russia has succeeded in checking the German invasion while Italy is push- ing forward into Austria are facts which restrain the allies from the con- sideration of peace at a time when they fecl they are bringing to bear in- fluences which will ultimately crush the enemy, even though the Balkan sit- uation at present is unfavorable. Their ammunition difficulties have been solved and their operations in the Bal- 4ig are bringing important influences to_bear while confidence has by no means. abated. - i It is a time when Germany may feel that it has given convincing evidence of its powers, but it is seriously ques- tioned whether ‘the entente allies will take any such view of the situation. The test is.teo far from a decision to ptrmit peace at this time to be per- manent, and that rather than a breath- ing- spell is what it must be when it-comes, , . MUST HAVE ALL THE FACTS. In Connection with the arrest of Robert Fay and others involved in-the bomb plots Ambassador Bernstorft has taken” occasion to write to the depart- ment of state that the accused has no connection with the German foreign office and is not even known by them and ‘that it maintains no secret ser- vige. ., At the same time other reports in- dicate that Tay was sent here from Germany for the purpose of starting a e n.of destruction.in, accord- ancé with which he was actively at work with others: when placed under arrest. There are features of the case which need to be cleared up, however, and regardless of the statement by the German ambassador they cannot be neglected. The probe which has been started should go on. until it is determined as far as possible just what the cir- cumstances are. It is a matter of such vital importance - that it-cannet be sidetracked in any particular. That [Fay was engaged in a plan to des- iroy property and possibly life appears io-be beyond question and:if he can é “connected with the German sov- srnment, It is indeed a serious matter, ind nothing will satisfy until it is sither cleared .or the facts are estab- iished Beyond dispute. It is a full lisclosure of the facts that is desired ind proper ‘action when that has been tecured. 3 OVERCOMING FOG, Nothing would be received with sreater satisfaction along the seaboard ‘han the effective means of preventing r _overcoming fog.

It was changes in the | construction of such buildings and in fact all buildings of a public nature where many people gathered. Fire drills - were instituted, -outside escapes ‘were required, outward opening doors were demanded by law and more than one exit was insisted upon for the pur- pose of offering every facility for the quick emptying of a bullding or hall. The wisdom of such action was rec- ognized throughout the country and lasting did the lesson from that ap- paling disaster promisé te Dbe. The reforms resulting from that demon- strated lack of foresight have unques- tionably resulted in the saving of many lives. Because of the apparent necessity for complylng with such building changes as that example called for, it is all the more deplorable that the Te- port of the burning of a three story ‘disclose that it was not equipped with outside fire escapes, making it neces- sary for some to jump from the top floor.. No one likes to be a calamity howler, but that city reason to re- gret that there was neglizence in pro- of proper means of getting out of a building under conditions when it 1= difficult to control older people, to say nothing about children, all because it failed to anticipate jiist such a situa- tion as resulted and provide the need- ed relief. It is possible that fire es- capes would not have prevented the loss of life, but had they existed there would hdve: the satisfaction of knowing -that-everything possible had been done.

The protests which the law raised before and since its enaciment gives suffi- clent reason for believing that its bad features far outweigh its good ones and that it is not too late to relleve the situation if the proper disposition prevails. American shipping ought to srow, but the new law has already begun to drive it in the opposite di- rection to such an extent that it needs to be checked as soon as possible _— EDITORIAL ‘NOTES.

The twenty-four hour campaign for workers and funds to support the activities of the Sheflleld Christian Association ended Jast Wednesday night when the chairmen of the va- rious committees reported on the work of their men. The results were great- er than the committee had expected as there was a large number of volun- teers for the work earried on by the association and the financial ceontri- butions averaged higher than _any similar collection ever made in Sheff. There were but a few of the men who were solicited who did not make some and the 219 men who subscription, subscribed gave a total of $714, which made an_average of over $3 for each contributor. -The. unprecedented | re- sults were obtained. through the in- terest and the work which the .in- dividual and the contributors put into the 24 hour " campaign. The amount col- lected was not sufficient to meet the necessary cxpenses for the coming year but with the freshman class.and some members of the two upper class- es still to be solicited there is .no doupt that there will be raised the re- cessful year.
