GEILIA. PEACE L'lii) POSITIONS.
Austrian statesmen announced thru
various channels have become of iiut
passing interest to the allied nations.
Long go it was realized that peace
by negotiation is out of the question
and that it would be impossible to
force a peace upon Germany until
that nation- has been hopelessly de-
feated. Hence whatever version of
the German war aims we may be
given 'we find that they are unchang-
ed since the beginning of the war the
pan-Germanistic Ideas which caused
the "war prevailing to this day in all
the utterances of Germany's big men.
It may be -well for us to reflect
just at this time -when our armies
are winning a great victory and the
outlook for further successes is
bright that it is not the purpose of
the allied nations to carry on this
war until Germany offers something
acceptable to the allies but to con-
tinue it until Germany is ready to
accept what the allies offer as re-
peatedly outlined by President Wil-
son. The allies in other words are
not fighting - for a chance to accept
peace terms but fighting to compel

this is done often each delegate feels
like letting "George do it" and the
consequence is that tho county is not

Xor ought proxies to be lven.
Proxies have been greatly ahused in-
the past. In the convention of 191G
the votes of r many rock-ribbed prohi-

held the proxici. If no citizens of
those counties which arc far distant

to bear tho expense of attending the
State convention then we counsel
I hat the county conventions of such
counties should elect as delegates
some first-class men who live in the
centers of population and who can bo
relied upon to attend. No proxies
ought to be permitted in the State!
