m s IT TIME to discuss th« conditions of peace? To m© a discussion of tho kind seems prema-

ture.”

These are the word.s of Victor

Augagneur, who. In Franco, has claims to be considered what we call a party .spokesman in the United States. He sits In the French parliament for a Republican. Radical, Labor constituency of the city of Lyons, of whch he was long mayor. He can not be suspected of militarism In any sense, for he sufficiently showed hls temper about this during and after the Dreyfus affair. By profession he is a doctor of medicine, and ho has been for a long time a professor In the Lyons faculty. He was governor of Madagascar after the French organized that island into a flourishing colony. And during the first year of tins war, of the end of which he is speaking, he was France's minl-ster of marine. The experience which such a man must have of what other Frenchmen in high and low places really think, makes even his guarded words worth hearing. They present fairly the universal French objections to any discussion of peace at

the present moment.

Dependent on Military Situation. “As to peace conditions, they will depend solely on the military situation when hostilities have to cease. It Is already certain that we shall not be conquered, and that we shall not be obliged to submit to the enemy's exactlona Our plenipotentiaries will not be forced, as Jules Favre was In 187L to countersign a Bismarck’s brutal, imperious w'lll. We are already conquerors, for Germany who willed the war has been pushed back on our front and her efforts to master us are broken. She has no longer any hope of dictating her will to us. Her hopes are limited now to tho possibility of discussing with us and with our allies the clauses of the treaty that shall terminate this frightful series of battles." This opinion agrees with the deliberate declaration of the president of the French republic, occasioned doubtless by the German assertion to President Wilson that Germany had already twice offered peace. While denying that any such offer has been made. President Poincare seised the opportunity to say (In hls speech at Nancy, May 14): “We do not wish Germany to offer peace; we wish to impose peace on her.” So M. Augagneur Is keenly alive to the dangers which any premature discussion of peace might bring with it. These dangers center In the “everlasting menace” of war, which a premature peace would leave behind It, as President Poin-

care also declared.

A Misfortune Beyond Remedy. “For us it would be a misfortune beyond remedy If such hopes of the enemy, modest as they are when compared with bis pretentions In 191t were not completely disappointed. We must have military successes decisive enough to put us beyond the reach of discussion. "If Germany is not at our mercy, If the struggle is stopped on the field of battle by fatigne and by each wearing the other out, only to continue around a conference table, among representatives of adversaries speaking with equal authority, then we shall wind up in a sick peace teeming with germs of more wax. All the nation's sufferings and grief, all the pain of individuals and of the country, will have been useless. The day after the struggle Is over we shall be just where we were the day befora We snail be forced to keep watchirtg out for our neighbor's armament of her growing population—and our own people will keep on

suffering a# before.”

Neutrals, when they recommend peace to thosi fighting In the trenches, ought to remember that every one In France has this one question forever weighing on hls mind: Shall peace mean that our frontlM* must consist in armed and garrisoned trenches in perpetuity?- Shall all the struggle of our generation, all this suffering and dying, end only In ^n armed peace with the prospect of# new

war for our children?

Even those who still think there may be some International means of enforcing the execution of treaty contracts—after the war, although no such means existed before the war—must acknowledge that, here and now, discussion of peace could only lead to a treaty of the kind M. Augagneur so strongly deprecates. With this in hls mind, he naturally would not go into particulars concerning the conditions of peace which Prance might accept when the war has been fought to a finish. He again made his own the formula enunciated by the presi-

dent of the republic.

Real Peace, Not a Truce Wanted. “Peace will be true peace only If we can impose it on an enemy who is subjected to our mercy and has been put in the durable necessity of submitting to ■what wa justly exact. Without this condition peace will not be peace—it will be only a truce. And each side will use It

to prepare a new war.

“Let us not talk too soon of the end of war. That would be to make it everlasting. By wishing to stop the war too soon we should risk, in order to lighten our own generation of its fearful burden, to cast it with a yet heavier load on the generations to come. Yes, by a peace coming too soon we should stop for the immediate present the pain and sufferings of the struggle—but soon the struggle would begin all over again. For some Individuals, for the French of today, war would be finished—and It would be perpetuated for the lifetime of the nation. for the France which survives the

generations of Frenchmen.”

This brings up the essential difficulty of any treaty-making for peace—and this, too. neutrals have to keep In mind. M. Augagneur speaks of it with hls usual

frankness.

Distrust Qermsny’s Word. "A peace treaty with Germany? A set of clauses to safeguard tho tranquillity of Europe, having for sole guaranty the signature of Germany? Wliat dupery is this? C?an W'e think ourselves secure when our only surety is good will and respect of engagement on the part of those whose contempt of scraps of paper has been proclaimed cynically In the face of the world? What is the signature of Germany worth since her thinkers and moralists and jurists have approved and justified the gross attack which was perpetrated on the rights of nations by violating the neutrality of Belgium? “A peace whose terms would be accepted by Germany after discussion, and, thanks to an undecided military situation, would Midure only Just so long as Germany chose to have IL The day she felt strong enough she would not hesitate one moment to tear up the treaty if It stood in her way.” rVom all this the conclusion Is plain, but it is worth while having, personal expression of it from a representative Frenchman like M. Augagneur. He gave it In a common sense way. “For my part, I do' not believe It possible Just now to examine plans of peace. As we have not yet the definite victory, we should be capable only of expressing desires—and these would be subject to acceptance by our enemies. “No doubt it is possible to assert our resolution to establish the rights of nations on foundations that can not be shaken, to muzzle Prussian militarism, to make the respect of nationalities a reality—and so on. That is a grand and generous program. It will be something else than the paper on which it is written on the day when we shall be capable, by the superiority of our force, to guarantee Us execution. Until then, all is but words—verba et voces For the present moment, we must think of war and make

ELKS PRESENTING FLAGS TO SCHOOL CHILDREN AND INVITING THEM TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL FLAG DAY CEREMONY AT UNIVERSITY PARK NEXT WEDNESDAY. ELKS COMMITTEE, LEFT TO RIGHT—A. W. PORTER, E. M. NELSON A ND L. A. BROWN.

A space will be roped off and reserved for children close to the speakers’ stand, in University park, next Wednesday, when the Elks’ lodge. No. 13, will celebrate tho ono-hundred and-thirty-ninth anniversary of the birth of the Stars and Stripes. Flag day this year will be more universally celebrated In all parts of the country than ever before, and the Elks’ lodge of this city Is taking a lead in the celebration here. The services will be made

especially Interesting to children, every child In the city is invited. Committees of Elks in automobiles have visited many schools, distributing small flags to the boys and girls and telling them of Flag day. Because of the limited time It was Impossible for the Elks to visit every school In the city, but the committee desires to make It plain that Flag day Is children’s day, and the Invitation is extended to every child In Indianapolis. Another space with as many seats a.s possible will be reserved for civil -war veterans, elderly men and women and

! women accompanied by children. As the children enter the reserved spaces the Elks will pass to each a flag. Copies of patriotic songs also will be handed to the children, and It Is the desire of tiie committee that they join in the singing. The committee also has made special arrangements for the Boy Scouts to take part in the services. The climax will be the raising' of a flag to the top of the giant flagpole which the park hoard will have placed In University park near the site of the new Elks' lodge building, on which work will begin in a few months.

sure of victory. Peace will have value only from victory." Not Random Utterances. These are no random uttdf'ances, and they are not merely confined to President Poincare's ringing declaration. The French censorship, which watches so carefully over all responsible expressions of policy in this war and concerning the peace which must sooner or later end it, has allowed the views of M. Augagneur to be published whole and entire in the Heure—without any of those curious blaxik yjaces which so often mark Senator Clemenceau’s attempted criticism of the conduct of war. While I was writing them out for America, Prince Henry SchonalchCarolath, a peer of Prussia and member of the (ierman relchstag, and, when younger, a major In the Prussian army, confided to the correspondent of the Budapest Hirlap: , “In all sincerity. I have to acknowledge that, for the present, there is no hope of peace. So far as France Is concerned, just so long as M. Brland is at the head of the government, there can be no question of peace—for each of his acts confirms the words which he pronounced on his accession to power: ’Peace will not be concluded without Alsace-Lorraine returning to France.’ ’’ Note that M. Augagneur did not bring up this other question. Limiting himself to the sufferings of France as she he declares there can be no peace if It is to leave the threat of new w&r ^rever hanging over the heads of the h renen

people.

Poincare’s Assurances.

And this is what President Poincare assured the people of Nancy, -which is a

part of mutilated Lorraine:

“To all of you who have had to abandon your homes Invaded by the enemy or destroyed by hls shells; to men whom age keeps from bearing arms and who carry far from home the burden of years made heavier by suffering; to women whose husbands and sons have left them to defend our country, and who have not the consolation to be able to shield their anxiety and mourning in the soothing air of their homes; to children who for long months have been living outside of their familiar horizon, feeling something of .the sadness of exile in spite of all the care surrounding them; to all of you I express the sympathies of France—and I renew her promises of solicitude and

protection.

“Numerous as you may be. gathered together in these vast buildings, you are but a very small part of the victims of the invasion. Your brethren In sorrow are scattered over every point of our territory, and there is not a department which has not its thousands. Everywhere, like you, they are patient and resigned; they await with tranquil confidence the hour of deliverance and of

necessary reparation.

"But, like all those whom war has struck, like the families who have given to our country their children's blood, they Intend that their sacrifices shall not remain sterile. Driven so long from their native soil, they desire at least to find in It on their return full security for

the morrow.

Enemies Must Ask, Not Offer Peace. "Their wishes shall be heard. France will not give up her sons to the dangers

of new aggressions. The central empires, haunted by remorse for having let loose this war, and terrlfled by the Indignation and hate which they have aroused In mankind are trying now to make the world believe that the allies alone are rsponsible for the lengthening out of hostilities. Heavy iron that deceives no 6ne! Neither directly nor Indirectly have our enemies offered us peace. But we do not-wish them to offer us peace—we wish them to ask it. We do not wish to undergo their conditions—we wish to Impose our own. We do not wish a peace that shall leave Imperial Germany mistress to begin war over again, suspending over Europe an everlasting menace. We wish a peace that shall receive from the restoration of right real guaranties of equilibrium and stability. * * • So long as such a peace is not assured, so long as our enemies do not confess they are vanquished, we shall not cease to fight.” Eight days later Prime Minister Brland. as head of government, said to the delegates of the Russian duma: “The word peace is sacrilegious if it means that that aggressor shall not be punished, and if tomorrow Europe risks again being delivered up to the arbitrary will, the fancies and caprice of a military caste athirst with pride and the lust of domination.”

LOSES SUIT FOR INJURY.

Robert Allen Judgment Is Reversed by Appellate Court. The appellate court has reversed the Allen circuit court for giving Robert Allen a judgment for $222.50 for injuries to hls eye when he was working as a section laborer in laying rails on the railroad. It is shown that the section men had laid a stretcli of new track, had spiked the rails to every third tie to permit tho trains to cross, and the foreman then had divided the men into tw’o gangs, each of -w-hom -was to spike the rail to every third tie, thus completing the task. The foreman had started the men to w'ork, separated one rail length, thirty feet, and had directed each man as to the task he should perform. Allen was assigned to the second gang, and hls business was to raise the ends or the ties up against the rail to permit the spikers to spike the rail to it The foreman, after starting the men to work in this manner, left them to perform the •work assigned. The rear gang, with whom Allen was w'orking. gained on the forward gang, until Allen, who was required to be just in advance of hls spikers, was close on the spikers of the first gang, each using hls utmost effort In what evidently was a race. In so work-

ing he came so close that one of the forward spikers, in swinging his hammer, brought it In contact with Allen’s eye. Allen sued, alleging that the man who hit him was Incompetent and negligent The court in reversing the case, holds that there Is no evidence that tho spiker was performing his work in any except the usual manner, nor that he was Incompetent nor negligent. The court says that there being no evidence to support one of the essentials of the action, the cause must be reversed.

WILL CASE IS TRANSFERRED Appeal of Glen Keplinger Is Taken From Appellate Court. The supreme court has transferred from the appellate court the appeal of Glen Keplinger from the judgment of the Dekalb circuit court in favor of John A. Keplinger. construing the will of Daniel S. Keplinger, the father of John and the grandfather of Glen. The ca.“ie wa.s tran.sferred for the purpose of lestatlng the law in regard to the con.struction of wills, affirming the lower court, as did the opinion of the appellate court. By the will, the whole of the estate goes to the widow of Daniel Keplinger- for life, and after her death, gives Glen Keplinger $500 end a few other legacies, and the rest to .John Keplinger. Glen Keplinger did not contest the will, but contended that it should be construed to give the -w-hole estate to the widow in tee. The supreme court holds that even bad grammar, or any other imperfection of language would not defeat the intent of the testator If it is BO expressed that the court can say as a matter of fact what the intent of the testator wa.s, and that the will in question plainly shows an intent to give only a life estate to the wldotv and the rest to be divided after her death under the other item of the will.

ORDERS NEW TRIAL OF CASE

Supreme Court Reverses Case Transferred From Appellate Court The supreme court has transferred from the appellate court tho appeal of Louis Westphal from the Judgment of the Marlon circuit court, which held in favor of his sisters In regard to their right to share in their father’s estate. The supreme court reversed the case, but ordered a new trial on the ground that the special finding of facts was not sufficient to support tho Judgment on the fact that the deed obtained by Westphal from his father was obtained by undue Influence.
