July first of the war cries a compromise. Prom the capitols of belligerent nations come re ports of deominating optimism; but the encouragement is all based on phantom beliefs iii what the future may have in -tore. It a pitiful tale each country has to tell of the past. There is no aspect anywhere of hope iii the present. Appeals to unsubstantial visions of the future alone encourage in a full won victory.

But, the future i- often a will- that lead" to the sands and quagmires. Amid the hold of success which each nation is making on the first anniversary oi tile war, it pitifully easy to detect the wailing of "orrow to disguise itself as a paeon triumph, In truth, there will im triumphant celebrations anywhere in Europe at this anniversary time. Writers may jam their eulogies of native heroes, equalized among all the belligerents; drawn battles may magnified into brilliant successes hut the souls of warring people cannot rejoice at these inconclusive evidence" of success. All the nations dwell closely to defeat, and all know victory is too far away. Compromise must bring an end to conflict.
