Do you know what renl riches are?
Some people never know, but others do.
Ileal riches consist not In hnvtng, but

No Peace Yet
There was no" disposition in ofllclal
circles to distinguish -between the Ger
man and Austrian moves, as the pro
posals are deemed but another step In
the great peace offensive now under
way. Because the two governni-oti
are acting In accordance on the mat
ter, word of similar action on the part
of Tuikey is expected momentarily,
It can be stated semi -officially, how.
ever, that peace Is Impossible at the
present time, as far as either Ger
many or Austria la concerned. The
reason It Is Impossible Is because they
have made It so. Officials expressed
disgust at the hypocrisy which cloaki
the present proposals, and which
glares from beneath the camouflage
of good faith. Here are tho reason!
they advance:
The military situation has made the
move necessary, and therefore rereali
It as a diplomatic attempt to overt the
disaster German armies face on the
field of battle.
At home Germany has undertaken
some reforms, and the appointment
of Prince Max, of Baden, termed I
Parlor Radical," as Imperial chan
cellor Is cited.
But, It Is pointed out, an Improved
military situation would allow the
militarists to get rid of Prinre Mai
and his coworkers as early as It wai
possible to displace Von Herding,
Mlchaells and other chancellors.
Peace at this time, it also wan said.
would leave Germany with the nucleus
of a mighty army with which she could
again Jeopardize the tranquility the
whole world hopes to experlenco once

As a further evidence of the hypo-.
crlsy of the German move and the
Austrian move, too, for thut mattr,
ofliclals point to the request for pea
which comes at a time when (ierman
armies are wantonly dpstroylns towni
and villages In France and Ilelbiuni,

addition, German armies still occupy
other alien territory and the evacua
