' t i " J VOLUME os NO. 80,448 THE POPE'S PEACE PROPOSALS. MERICA enter i ar to put an end to German trocit u that recognae neithe laws of nations There can be no paichosup peace that will permit Prusna to Menace the world agen. There can be no wiping clean the slate of erime without the Lusi @anis dead rising up in sorieks of protert There can be no return to the status before the war without out- gaged Belgium and to Cvilizetion. There can be no complacent approval of secret negotiations and Peadjustments by diplomats without m who are tendering their lives and their fortunes, demanding that wrongs of the weak and innocent be righted and that the world no Jonger be ruled by maniac might. After all, what do the peace proposals from the Vatican assume? That both sides in the conflict have learned, to the same page and Peragraph, the same terrible and costly lesson. That each is in a chastened frame of mind, ready to contemplate the future from the same new standpoint of international co-opera- tion and concession, That to declare a draw is to settle almost automatically the gre fesue into which the struggle has resolved itself. That merely to substitute “restitution” for “eparation” is to eecure from Prussianism the acknowledgment of its error, together with disarmament and a change of heart upon which democracy can henceforth rely to leave the world in security and peace. Are any of these things certain? The Prussian spirit gives no indication as yet of having reached the part of the lesson that insists upon interdependence and forbear- ance between nations seeking sun space. Can anything except sufficient pressure bring a militaristic Im- perialism to ponder and accept that page? ‘cients ibcremmenmsels THE SIXTY-NINTH TO THE FRONT. HE Sixty-ninth New York Infantry, officers and men, 3,700 strong, equipped and ready, finds itself included in the National Guard unit of 19,000 who will be the next American fighters to be sent to France. It’s but little over five months since the Sixty-ninth, home from the Mexican border, swarmed out of the ferry house and swung joy- ously up Tenth Avenue to the tune of “The Rocky Road to Dublin.” It was a royal Irish welcome the men of the Sixty-ninth got then. It will be a hearty Irish “Good luck and Godspeed” the city will wi them when they leave for camp at Mineola Friday morning. Helping to put good reading into American history is no new job for this regiment. * If the Sixty-ninth goes into service with a full complement and wcred Armenia remaining forever @ reproach lions of patriotic Americans, perfect organization now, let us not forget that in ’61 the Sixty-ninth | was the only regiment from New York State, with the single exception) of the Seventh, that took its full quota to the front, The part the Sixty-ninth played in the Civil War under that gallant Irish fighter, Thomas Francis Meagher, General of the famous Trish brigade, is matter of glorious record, “I have seen,” said Gen, Nelson A. Miles, speaking at Chicago years later, “I have seen the Irish Brigade many times engaged in battle, and I remember it as it passed over the green turf of Malvern Hill, going into action on that memorable day when Meagher, riding in front of the line, turned and, drawing his own brave sword, said to — ‘Come on, my good men; Ireland shall have another Yr . “At Antietam I remember distinctly seeing the brigade ascending a crest swept by shot and shell—the morning light glistening on the bright banner of the Stars and Stripes, Alongside that banner of freedom those men carried the flag of their own native country—the Green Flag of Ireland, “Coming under the hot fire of the enemy both flags went down, only to be raised again by stout horoes and again to fall to earth. They rose and fell that way no less than five times until both were reddened with patriots’ blood; yet they moved on together with the storm and smoke of battle to final vicory.” With such traditions to uphold, the Sixty-ninth starts forth to do its share of fighting in the greatest of all wars on the side of prin- ciples which must at all costs prevail, The Empire State salutes the Sixty-ninth, confident that it will bring new honor to the Commonwealth upon the fields of France. eatters From the Peo ple ‘Trieste Was Formerly ttaltan, of the doctor exa a 6 Fe the Kditor of The Evening World | ke you to infor mae ley have hee Kindly settle an argument bde-| privilege of being nined at some tmeen two friends, One says that) ther board or draft headquarters?

The three or four months before Mirabeau's death were the busiest of his struggling career. He pre- ey will her au mon- Jon the point of fainting and in one day made five addresses, Afterward he had to be carried home. Several times recently we have had despatches from Petrograd tell ing of the exhaustion that besets Kerensky. This minister of the people has been near the point of lapse for weeks. Yet he has kept bravely on, organized an offens! put down a half dozen incipient r volts, kept the Soldiers’ and Work- men’s delegates in leash and steadily rocked the cradle of Russian liberty. How long can he last? That is the question Kerensky is trying to de: clde for himself. When Mirabeau came down with his final illness, which endured bu a few days, the whole of Paris laid ide its many occupations to wate e struggle between its great man and death. The King sent to inquir every few hours how he fared, crowds filled the streets about hi home and waited for a word from the bedside, As he had lived, so Mirabeau died, fighting to the end, It js a strange analogy, this case of Kerensky and Mirabeau, men of destiny, One was taken before he could fulfil his role, the other pre- dicts his own end.
