Tht* |n*iuv talk wlilcli mulilenly in icrvstcd tin' market* of thts country the latter pun o) th?- past wwk llo ; which U growing In Interest with (II* ' CU&kloUt probnblj originated I row Uie statement by M. HI hot, the French M I iil?t?ar of Finance. to the that "wo fan nay without illusion. cund without vain optimism, thut we now s<m? the end <*f this horrible war." The M|?<tr\.r has been bartering the flrw belief that Vordu.ii \loufd break or mak.e < Jet-many. We believe M ?|<H*larat ton of tho coming of jh>hoo was founded pn tin* balking of tho <{or in huh by tho French defenders of the fortifications of Vordun. which has given t lit* Allies tho opportunity for carrying out the program they have had In ha lul. Tho New York Sun man ifestly believe# that M. lilhot know what he was talking about. "M. lit hot," says the Sun, "is in inmltion to compare tho available resources of tho Allies with th?>se of the Teutonic Bow era and is kept informed about the military situation to the very last do tall. Moreover, he is tho wisest and safest statesman in Franco, her (Irand did Man. There can l>e no doubt that the veteran Minister's prediction re fleets tho provision and confidence of his associate, at the front, Joseph Jof fre, whose straU-ay must . supplement Alexandre Hlhot's success In finding the sinews of war. A great offensive by tho Allies may soon be the answer to Verdun." The Germans have boon making unavailing efforts to find out what tho British have been doing In the way of massing a great army. Croat Britain has been holding the secret. That the British have been assembling a great force In France Is not to be doubted. The. one fact that Germany has been unable to ascertain is the number. The Sun places It at U.000,000 men. Its theory Ik that Jof fre is biding his time. "The game of re-enforcements is one that must be played-- -with finesse. It does not seem to be the plan of the groat French strategist to do more on tho defen sive at Verdun than to obstruct the ad vance of the enemy and to Inflict the greatest possible losses on him. "The great Spring drive," so loin: talked of In Europe/' Is evidently on the way. A great battle. - Is being arranged and with its termination we may have an entirely satisfactory explanation of tho springing <>f the peace talk. ? Char lotte Observer. That Mexico y editor that printed the "news" last week that Villa had captured Now Mexico and Texas and was on his way to Washington, -and that the President and his family were fleelmr to Canada, probably knew he was lying: but many of his readers ? rather many Mexicans who had the "news" read to them ? believed every word of it.

Nobody can over compute how many millions df dollars the spas of Ku ropo have made for the people of the countries 111 wliieh they are situated, but it is certain that a large propor tion of the total sum has. come from Americans. It was, of course, a perfect ly fair and legitimate way of making money. The Kuropean spas ? the real ones, that is to say ? gave those who came to them their money's worth. Their waters were of great benefit in the treatment of certain disease* antl the fame which they acquirt?l was based on merit. Hut I?r. Simon Iiaruch. who can speak with authority about this mat ter. says in a letter to the New York Times that there are springs in this country equal to the best of the Kuro pean spas and lie suggests that the war In Kurop? gives us the oppor tunity to turn these springs of ours to as good account as some of the Kuro|>ean countries have turned theirs. I>r. Haruch is particularly interested in Saratoga Springs which he says "would be equal to any similar one in Kurojte if the Legislature would appropriate sufficient funds to com plete Its skilfully devised develop ment:" and he declares that there are other springs of equal value elsewhere in the country and, If there is a chance to make Saratoga Springs a great American spa attracting jmh>p1c from nil over the world, the oppor tunity exists in the case of other springs the waters of which are use ful for ailments other than those for the treatment of which the Saratoga waters' are so useful. Possibly the development which Dr. Haruch suggests will come about large ly automatically. We have had to dis pense with a great many Kuropean ?trtlcles of one sort and another on ac ?ount of the war and we have *_'ener ?tllv mrmagrd to find substitutes In this country that were Just as good ? though, of course, there are a few notable exceptions. Probably many Vineriesms have Imbibed the water of American mineral springs during the '?:ist year and a half who, if there had been no war. would have gone instead to the Kuropean spas; and probably mnnv of them have been benefitted. If so, a beginning has alreadv been iiij.de in the matter which l>r. Haruch b iV n gs up. People do not forget what '?id them good when they were sick. The war has made thousands realize that it is not necessary to go to Ku mpe in order to enjoy the pleasures of travel. It may also give this coun try a reputation as a great health resort for j?eople all over the world. Certainly when the war is over Amrei ca will l e In better sliaf>e than Ku rope to make Itself the great pleasure and health report of the world ?nd the opportunity is one which American en terprise ought not to negroct, ?
