A WASTE OF EFFORT
We are told that the allies propose to translate the presi
dent’s latest pronnnciamento into the German language and
give it the widest possible circulation over the central empire
by means of aeroplanes. They should not waste a second
though on the proposition, for the Prussian government has in
all probability attended to the matter already. The text of the
message—with certain slight omissions and amendments which
the official German translators will only be too eager to supply
—should serve the purpose of the war lords most admirably.
In their own interpretation, the autocrats are sure to lay
extreme stress upon the dictum of the president that he will not
negotiate for peace so long as the kaiser is likely to be a party
to the compact. And so they are sure to say something like this
to their misguided people: “Are you Germans going to permit
this arrogant American to say what kind of a government you
shall have and who shall or shall not be your ruler! We have
repeatedly warned you that the United States has ulterior de
signs on your internal affairs, mid this message proves our con
tentions. How much longer will you allow’ yourselves to be
fooled by the fine words of this pretender! If you are men,
you will wake up and fight all the harder for the fatherland.”
In view’ of what w*e already know’ of their machinations, this
supposition is not at all far-fetched.
And how are these malicious misrepresentations likely to
affect the gullible German people! Will they insist upon
thinking for themselves and throw off the heavy yoke of their
masters, or will they swallow this new’ bait at one gulp and ac
cept the belief that sovereign and serf must now fight in a com
mon cause against outside interference in their internal affairs!
The chances are that they will pursue the latter course and that
henceforth they will fight as never Germans fought before.
What else can be expected of men who will submit to being
chained to their guns when ordered into an engagement!
We would not have President Wilson alter a single sen
tence in his splendid message, even though it does but serve to
still further infuriate the enemy. The kaiser knows now that
his doom is sealed and if the German people think more of his
worthless hide than they do of their own, they deserve to suffer
the consequences of their choice. The direct effect of the presi
dent’s declaration was to destroy all middle ground and put the
combatants upon their mettle. In view of tliis, Americans w ill
sss'^si?,™. Sf.
themselves at once for a finish fight.
THE LEAVEN IS WORKING
The answer of the United States to the peace note of the
pope is beginning to have the desired effect-in Germany. Al
leady the Social Democrats have taken up the crv of u govern
ment responsible to the reichstag. Since the reichstag is elect
ed by the people, this means a government responsible to Un
people.
> Powerful though lie has been, the kaiser will be unable to
item the tide of public comment on the refusal of the United
States to deal with him. The Berlin Vorwarts, one of the pow
erful newspapers of the German capital, illustrates the trend of
thought in Germany, when it asks, at the end of a carefully
written (pro-German) analysis of the American note:
“Shall it be said of us Germans that negotiations with the
United States are impossible because we as a nation of helots
are incapable of asserting our own will! Do we deserve this
after years ot lighting and suffering, and achievements and'sac
rifices without measure and numbers!”
The reichstag movement is sure to precipitate a widespread
discussion in the newspapers of the country and the people,
once fully informed of the reasons for the movement—the im
possibility of peace without governmental change—will insist
up action.
Uqual rights for all; special privileges for none is on its way
the w’orld around.
