COT KAISER
IS NEW PEACE
_ L
(By United Press)
PARIS, Nov. 2. — The kaiBer and
his fellow conspirators are at this mo
ment preparing to launch against the
allies the sublest, but at the same
time most powerful blow since the ori
ginal one struck in the summer of
1914.
The fall of Riga marked the down
ward swing. The collapse of Russia
leaves the way clear. Only by the
cleverest work on the part of the re
mainder of the allies can the blow be
parried, for it is now practically cer
tain that what Wilhelm II and his
junkers aim at Is nothing less than
enlisting, by a crafty stroke, the pub
lic opinion in allied nations to bring
about what they desire.
And what they desire, in one word, is
peace,
Dikii is lue llll'illllllg ill me Jiusnmu
debacle.
On its face the proposition appears
not only supremely impudent, but im
possible. In reality it may be very
simple. The Intellectuals in Russia
feared this thing before the Czar Ni
cholas abdicated his throne. For a
moment it seemed that the new de
mocracy might ward off the danger.
Then chaos came and opened wide the
door, leaving (he great empire — or
republic — absolutely at the mercy of
her enemies and incidentally brought
to the allies as a whole the greatest
danger they have had to face since
the start of the war.
Before Christmas the kaiser is al
most sure to pose again as the one
great apostle of peace. He will try
to bring about the end of the war at'
the expense of Russia, and the Bal
kans. Of that 1 am convinced after
what 1 heard in Russia and amongst
Scandinavian neutrals. His offer of
peace will be the most velvety thing
ever seen, the cunningest p.iece of
Machiavelisin that was ever put forth
to trap less W£f> souls.
The next fewweeks will see Prussia
reaping in Russia the harvest for
which she has been preparing inten
sively for years, and more especially
since 1914. This country of 170,000,
000 people is now threatened with
complete open subjugation to her
southern neighbor of 70,000,000, who
has had her in more or less secret
subjugation for scores of years. When
the kaiser has Russia just where he
wants her, his peace bid will come.
The bid to be expected will fall upon
the world about like this:
, “What an awful, awful thing this
war!” the kaiser will say. “I have
never wanted It. From the very first
it has made my heart bleed to see
the flower of the world’B youth inarch
away to battle, to become cannon fod
der. Why, oh, why, can't we get to
gether and stop all this slaughter! 1
grieve for the French and the British
and the Italians who have died in this
horrible war. And poor Belgium and
Serbia and Roumania! How deeply
I pity them.
“Some courageous figure, strength
ened by Almighty God and armed with
a sense of righteous duty, must offer
himself as a sacrifice. I am that man.
Speaking for my noble people, I am
v, illing to give up conquests, won by
the steelhard will to victory ot my
brave soldiers Jo pave the road to
peace. 1 will even give indemnities.''
In short, the kaiser is likely to offer
ter yield — on paper and apparently—
practically everything that England.
France, Italy, America amt the rest
are fighting for in order to put an end
to a war which slowly, but surely, is
strangling the life out qf the central
empires. He is likely to put his peace
proposals in such a pious and sancti
monious light that the great public of
the world may be, for r, time, abso
lutely, takeu in.
Ho is counting on the nubile failing
1; tecognize that jermany lias Bul
garia afid Turkey absolutory under her
\ thumb; that Austria has become a
vassal state; that (lei .nanv n\ill de
mand all her colon! is ba-k in return
tor getting out of France and Belgium.
Such a peace would mean that Ser
bia and Rounutnia would come out of
I the war entirely at the mercy of the
central powers. Any treaties signed
by the present German government
would not be worth the paper upon
which they were written, and a“world
made safe for democracy" and all such
phrases wquld still be as sounding
brass. And last of all, Russia is un
der the German thumb. Summed up,
Germany would come out of the war
mightier than ever, her prestige high
er. When she threatened the world
would tremble. Her navy would be
intact and a new merchant fleet ad
ded to what is left of the old would
place her far and away ahead of all
other countries in the sea-borne trade.
The kaiser is counting on the pre
sent Russian situation to pave the
way for him to yield on the western
front, yet maqe a big coup In the east.
This subtle blow must be watched for
and countered. The peace at any
pricers and war-weariea In allied coun
tries have given him his cue. It is
up to the public rather more than the
government to frustrate him.
LEONARD GIVEN A
NEW YORK, Nov. 2. — The patri
otic fight fans, Benny Leonard claims,
have been treating him unfairly. The
lightweight champion is considerably
grieved because he has been accused
of stepping out of a clinch with the
kaiser after having promised to take
him on for a regular scrap.
When Benny took Freddie Welsh to
a first class trimming recently in New
York he announced right off that he
was going to enter some branch of
service and fight for Uncle Sam. But
the time continued rolling along with
out any enlistment out of the new
lightweight king. Criticisms then be
gan to break up Benny's peace and he
began to smart under the skin.
Now that Benny has received an ap
pointment and a commission that
makes him a boxing instructor In one
of the new training camps he has of
fered an explanation. He declares
that right after he whipped Welsh he
went to Washington and offered to en
list, but was told by officials there it
was not wise for them to accept him
kt once. „
Benny says he was told his services
would be much more valuable if he
worked as an athletic instructor, and
with this advice he came back to New
York to wait. Now that he has re
ceived his commission he Is ready
with explanations.
Offers have been made to Leoiyird <
for bouts that would net him huge
sums of money, but It is doubtful if
the army can spare him for the time
it would be necessary for him to eo
and make the battles. Of course, he
Is In constant good condition, through
his work at the camps.
Johnny Kllbane and Mike Gibbons
are two other champions who have
already received their commissions
and are ready for duty. Kllbane is one
of the most patriotic lads in the en
tire service. Gibbons has given up
business interests and sacrificed time
that belongs to his family. Mike
waived exemption claims when he re
gistered for the national army and
announced himself ready to take on
the wrhole German army, or any part
of it to a finish fight.
Kllbane, Leonard and Gibbons have
set a splendid example for American
youths. There are many others in the
army and navy who have done the
same thing — notable among them be
ing Joe Welling, a serious contender
for Leonard's claim.
