HE news, first given to the public by The Evening World on high authority, that Ambassador Gerard is bringing with him to this country important communications from the German Government bearing on possible mediation by the United Btates to end the war, follows too closely the vigorous “hands off” werning of Lloyd George not to suggest that the British Government bad definite knowledge of what the American Ambassador to Gesmany hes been asked to do. Professions of ignorance from the State Department at Washing- ton signify little. Germany's messages may well be of a delicate na- ture, laying the strongest sort of claim to diplomatic secrecy and dis- cretion. Until it is known exactly what the German Government asks of the United States thore is little use discussing whether the answer is to be compliance or refusal. One thing is certain. Tho offer of this country’s prompt and earnest service toward peace, whenever such Gervices are desired, is still as good as when the President first made it eon after the outbreak of the war. On the other hand, no more now than earlier can the Government of the United States take action inconsistent either with its neutrality i or with its dignity. Glad as we should be to make everybody's peace, i ‘we are fighting nobody's battles and covering nobody's retreat. ‘ ood While Elihu Root was trying to show, the other night, why @ Republican President is the only kind that can save the country from becoming the wretched victim of its own collective . ignorance and pusiilantmity, the nation’s Chief Executive was ¥ telling the Nebraskans what four years’ experience has taught him of the sound results obtained by betting America think and @peak as itself, regardiess of the elect here and there who are Gorever urging !t to measure up to them. ———+ + by the Press Publishing Company, Nos. 53 to York. ‘Where's the Politics? 8 HOUR LAw BOARD APPOINTED BY A DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION ee GEN.

F™ PREVENTION DAY will be observed Monday. Such observance ought to be a daily habit, not a yearly event. New Yorkers are civilized enough to overcome the carelessness that leaves oil-soaked rags in closets and allows | rubbish to accumulate under stairways aud in cellars. There is no i] reason why this city should have in a single year 1,306 fires, repro- senting a loss of $119,135, directly traceable to cigar and cigarette i ends. A little care and common sense in handling matches during Hy the same period would have prevented 1,304 fires and a total loss q of $225,000. There should he some way of getting it into the heads of house- holders that a fire on one’s premises is a disgraceful thing. If due to carelessness it is a criminal thing, which calls for the punishment of those responsible. Here are some figures which it would pay citizens of New Y: to ponder: The total number of fires in this city last year was 13,416, In London, before the Zeppelin raids, fires for a single year (that ending Dec. 31, 1914) totalled but 3,609, and of this total those classed as serious numbered onl In the matter of fire prevention, isn’t it about time for the City < ef New York to move out of the mediaeval class? rH “Now streams of milk were flowing.” New York is right with Ovid on the Golden Age idea.
