1,1 refuse even to consider propositions
f'J take In London today. It la felt that
lb Million of the allies must bo Brcntly
' .understood If It Is believed that any
pence proposal woum oven do receivcu

u'ere the war ended today, even though
B.igium wete inucmniiicii ami I'runcc re

that this shall bo tho last war.
Offlclals. from tho KI11R down, Insist Hint
ii, rp.-il cause of the wnr was the 3or-
man dream of world power. A eompro
mite now, It Is claimed, would mean that
it a later date Germany would renew
the attempt, and this time the allies
might not be able to present their tin
broken front. So It Is tho Intention of
England to flRht on until Germany Is
forced to consent to a peace that will
make her a party for all time to treaties
.h trill be compelled to respect, nnd not
resard ns "mere scraps of paper," to be
regarded at will.
The Times today, commenting on tho
outlook, declares only peaco concluded In
Berlin and the dispersal of tho German
diet will bo acceptable to tho British
woplo. It declares that nny official who
liould consent to lesser humiliation of
Germany could not withstand popular
JIMpproval.
The agreement between tho allies that
ptace would bo concluded only by nn
ijrecmont satisfactory to all ended for
ill time, ofllclnls say. the possibility that
Germany mism c auic to inane in
divldtiat trims which would permit her
to retain her present status.
It Is admitted peace may be hnstened
by the defeat of the Germans In Prance.
tod by the crushing of the Austrlans by
(hi Hustlans. Thero has been n strong
undercurrent In Germany against the war.
Only In Prussia was It popular with the
modIc. The majority of the other Ger
man States had no lilting for conflict ko
far as the rank and file of the people was
concerned. Xow that Germuny l on the
defensive, that tho attempt to take Paris
has proven abortive and, above all. .lnci
the losses to the Fatherland have heen so
enormous, there Is real danger of a popu
lar uprising which may chanso the pres
ent German system of government.
Suggestions that the Knlscr may yet bo
forced to abdicate are mado In certain
quarters usually familiar with what is
roliiK on In Germany. They are ns yot
only sugRestlons, but when the truth Is
known In Germany thoso making them
here say they may become realities.

DEFENDS HARBOR BILL
Senator Bansdell Says 300,000 Will
Lose Job if Measure Fails.
WASHINGTON', Sept. ll.-When the
river and harbor appropriation bill was
Uken up In the Scnato today, Senator
Itamdell, of Loulsinna, mado vigorous de
fecH of the measure.
"Each dollar expended on Improving
waterways gives 2 In reduced transporta
tion charges," said Senator Ransdell. "It
jouldbe a great calamity If the pending
bill falls. Fully 20.000 employes will be
thrown cut of work and a larger num
ber who furnish various materials, up
ward of 300,000 peisons, will lose their
means of support."
Senator rtansdell said that there was
not a flnnle unwnrthv nr lr,,, i.
In the till, though some had greater merit
...au UlUtlg,
Had tho Germans possessed the war
map, which accompanies this article,
Paris would have been In their hands by
now. Tho map, tho chef d'oeuvro of Mark
Twain, was dro.wn by him nnd by the
exercise of superhuman Ingenuity, also en
graved by him. It Is true that It Is
somewhat askew, hut as General Nelson
O. Miles, who never saw tho man ,1s re
ported to have said:
"It was fully as useful In 1870 when It
was drawn, as It Is today."
The map was published In the Buffalo,
N. Y., Express, of which Twain was
owner, on September 17, 1870, and Twain's
description follows, together with some
testimonials, even more enthusiastic than
that of General Miles:
TO THE BEADEH.
Tho above map explains Itself.
The Idea of this map Is not original
with me, but Is borrowed from the
Tribune nnd the other great metropolitan
journals.
I claim no other merit for this produc
tion (if 1 may so call It) than that It Is
nccurate. The main blemish of tho city
paper mnps, of which It Is an Imitation,
Is that In them more attention seems paid
to artistic plcturesqueness than geograph
ical reliability.
inasmuch as this Is the first time I ever
tiled to draft and engrave a map, or at
tempt nnythlng in tho line of art nt all,
the commendations tho work has received
and the admiration It has excited nmong
tho people have been very grateful to my
feelings. And It Is touching to reflect that
by far the most enthusiastic of theso
praises have come from people who know
nothing at all nbout art.
By an unimportant oversight I have en
graved the map so that It reads wrong
end first, except to left-handed people. I
forgot that In order to make It right In
print It should be drawn and engraved
upside down. However, let the student
who desires to contemplate the map stand
on his head or hold It before her looking
glass. That will bring It right.
The reader will comprehend at a glance
that that piece of river with the "High
Bridge" over It got left out to ono side
by reason of a slip of the engraving tool,
which rendered It necessary to change
the entire course of the River Rhino or
clso spoil the map. After having spent
two dnys In digging and gouging at the
map, I would have changed tho course of
tho Atlantic Ocean before I would have
lost so much work.
I never had so much trouble with any
thing In mv life as I did with this map.
I had heaps of little formications hc.-u-
tcrcd ail around Paris, at first, but every
now and then my Instiumcnts would slip
and fetch away wholo miles of battered
and leave the vicinity as clean as If
the Piusslans had been there.
The reader will nnd It well to frame
this man for future reference, so that It
320 ni MflAl
may aid In extending popular Intelligence
nnd dispelling tho widespread Ignotnnce
of tho day. MAUIC TWAIN.

all was In vain. But, sir, since her first
