GERMANY BEGINNING
TO WANT PEACE 1
(
Tho press dispatches are Tilled with }
reports of the advancement of the (
peace movement in Germany. Presi- (
dent Wilson's note to the pope lias had
much tho effect, but there is another ,
—and to the Germans, better—reason
for this desire for peace.
To those who have been following
the progress of events for some
months past, it is apparent that the
constant pounding of the allies is
producing results. Slowly, but sure
ly the German armies are being
driven back from the soils of France
and Belgium. Too often for tranquil
ity of mind the German war lords are
compelled to admit strategic retreats,
shortening of lines, retirements to
stronger positions, and the like.
The war lords are beginning to see
the truth — and that truth is that
the allies have at last made proper
preparation and are hammering away
with no signs of weakening and with
determination to drive the Germans
back into their own country.
In the language of the man in the
street, the German generals are “look
ing for an out” — a means of saving
their faces. They were remarkably
successful at the outset of the war.
They made tremendous territorial
gains in miracuiosly short time. They
held these gains with superhuman ten
acity. But the end is in sight. They
see the inevitable result of the woj-ld
preparation against them. The man
power without is greater than the
man power within. But one-thing can
happen — and the German-), astute
Btudents of the war problem, would
save as much as possible from the
wreck.
Through devious channels the ac
tivities of America have percolated
through to the Prussians. They are
beginning to comprehend that Ameri
ca means business — that the thing
they thought utterly impossible has
happened. The man power of this
cuDjjxtL.aiaBs.^ ^auaJUa. *hat rflfrl,P"r
rine has not been the success l(s pro
jectors believed it would he. Ger
many at last is truly on the defensive.
•She knows her limitations. She knows
full well that the utterances of Presi
dent Wilcon came only after mature
consideration, and that his statement
to the pope that he could not deal
with the kaiser was not a “bluff.”
Therefore Germany wants peace.
She will make many concessions to
get it. The peace note that now is
being formulated in Germany—as out
lined in the press reports — is but the
beginning. Should this prove unsat
isfactory, others will he formulated,
and each will add to the concessions
Germany will make.
America’s entry on the side of the
Hies has been the means of bring
ing the Hohenzollerns to their senses
of making them think. America’s
rntry along the line of trenches in
■’landers will be the determining fac
or. When Germany realizes that the
nan power of this country finally has
>een made available — that the re
lources of this country have bpen re
icrved for the single purpose of brtng
ng her to terms — she will come to
:erms quickly. She will sue for peace
and her knee will be bent as she
lues.

PEACE WITHOUT
INDEMNITIES
We hear so much nowadays of
‘peace without indemnities, without
annexation” it may be interesting tQ
consider what precisely the phrase
means. Obviously it would mean self
rehabilitation to the countries that
have been overrun by the modern
Huns, who, themselves, have in a
great measure escaped the ravages of
war. It would mean that Germany
would start with an enormous econo
mic advantage over her enemies.
France, Belgium and other countries
that have been crushed under the Ger
man heel would have no immediate
means of paying their war debts. For
many years they would be at the
mercy of foreign competition, strug
gling under a load of taxation.
What a great victor a patched-up
peace would be for the power that
started the war in the hope of domin
ating the world! Surely the kaiser in
the event of a patched-up peace would
be justified in pointing with pride to
the success of his great adventure.
At any rate the Germans would in a
measure have attained the war pur
poses which were outlined In Tanne
burg’s "Greater Germany” and Bern
hardi’s "Our Future.”
