KAISER'S APPEAL FOR PEACE.

How He Approached the Czar, and the Sequel.

"I Will Sign a Treaty of Peace Only in

Berlin."

German Papers Preparing the People

for Defeat.

"Nothing but Good to Report" of the Allies.

"MAKE" : ME A-CEMETERY THERE!' ,

It will be remembered that the other day it was announced that the Allied Powers against Germany had pledged themselves not to act separately in regard to making peace with the enemy. How that pledge came about is cabled to-day. The Kaiser appealed to the Czar, the latter intimated the appeal to Britain and France and then the Czar replied to Wilhelm: " I will sign, a treaty of peace only in Berlin.' , Probably that is why the Kaiser wants to take charge in East Prussia, and is now making a supreme effort against Russia. The Cologne Gazette, one of the influential papers of Germany, admits the possibility of its forces going under, and other papers are now preparing the German people for defeat. A communique from Paris has nothing but good to report as to the position of the Allies. There is tremendous enthusiasm in South Africa over General Botha's call to arms, and Britons the world over should feel the thrill of it on reading that whole commandoes of Boers that fought under Botha against Britain 15 years ago have volunteered now to fight for Britain against the Germans in West Africa. Our forces frojn India, British regulars and native troops, have been landed Safely in France. Eead the episode of the French officer who ordered his artillery to make a German cemetery, and how the order was obeyed.
