ago by rPesident Wilson in an ad
dress to Congress. Almost in the
same breath, however, the usual
quallfciatlons were entwined amid
his utterances, leaving the suspicion
that the Central Powers, if they are
desirous of peace, still have their
old ideals of ^ victorious peace to
the fore. .
/ Conditional upon the acceptance
even of the principles of President
Wilson was the declaration by Chan
cellor von Hertling that they must
not only be proposed by the Presi

all States and peoples, in addition

“The second clause states the de

were mere chattels and pawns in

The German imperial chancellor
has told the reichstag that the Bol

accepted Germany's peace terms and
that peace must ensue shortly. But,
apparently, no peace for the Rnn-
ftianB is immediately in store.
On the contrary, the Germans con
tinue to overrun the country from
the Gulf of Finland southward well
into Little Russia. Reval, Russia’*
principal port on the, Finnish Gulf,
together with its fortress, has been
captured; Pskov, situated oix the
railway about 160 miles southwest of
Petrograd, Is in enemy hands and

southern wing have formed a Jane*

town it is their announced purpose
to take form the Bolshevist eJe
ments holding It.
Although it is announced that Re
val was taken* “after a battle/* It
is doubtful If serious resistance was
offered the Germans by the Rus
sians still holding the town, up to
Sunday the Invaders had made no
mention of having come within sight
of Reval. Since the renewal of hos

wounded were scattered In Indeorrib-
ahle confusion. Several of the
bodies were horribly# mangled, sad
one of them cut almost In two was
hanging from a window.
It would be hard to conceive of
a more grueuome scene except on
a battlefield than was presented at
the usually sequestered and remote
spot where the terrible disaster oc
curred Dead men. crushed between
the seats nnd against the sides of the
almost demolished wooden coach,
and some of them terribly mangled;
the groans of the Injured and dy
ing. and the hysteria of some of the
uninjured passengers, combined to
make a veritable IrVerip). When
the dead had been placed in morgue
here it required four hours to iden
tify the ten who had been instantly
killed
Such sights as were presented
were a severe test of even the
strongest iron nerve. Credit, how
ever, is given to the men on both
trains for the brave manner in which
they conducted themselves in seeing
that the women were taken out of
the coaches first and in rendering
every aid possible.
