NO SIGNS OF PEACE.
To road the nows from Europe it seems true that no human
foresight can venture to predict when a truce can be called
among the fighting hosts. The newspapers of the several
countries are discussing the demands that will be made for a
settlement, and the feelings entertained by the several belli
gerents.
Thus Professor von Leydon in the Frankfuort Gazette says:
“It is impossible to admit that friendly relations ever can
be re-established' with the English or Italians. Russians should
be boycotted in almost the degree—after the peace no self
respecting German can remain in the same room with an Eng
lishman, Italian or Russian. As to the French we do not per
haps feel the same violent hate, but they must bear their share
of our contempt. All Frenchmen must be exiled from our
circles. Finally, the neutrals. Most of them manifest sym
pathy for England, France and Russia. Let them be ban
ished ! ”
He adds: “Germany wishes to remain alone and ought to.
Her destiny is to govern the world and direct the other nations
for the good of humanity.”
Then comes the German idea of what the settlement must
be.
As recently as June 5, 1915, the great German National
Liberal party—not the “junkers” or the “military casts”—but
its executive committee voted' “the annexation in the west of
territories to assure and strengthen the situation of the empire
on sea and land.”
The programme of the Wehr-Verein (military league)
nucleus of the Pan-Germanists is so widely spread over Europe
that it cannot possibly be withdrawn.
“Germany to take the French departments of the Vosges,
Meurthe-et-Moselle and Ardennes with the cities of Epinal,
Nancy, Luneville and Sedan. France to remove the present
inhabitants, the migration to be effected within a year and a
half. The land to be divided into rural domains of forty acres
and distributed to worthy German soldiers. Town and city
properties to be divided on the same principle.”
And for Belgium:
Belgium and Holland to enter the German empire. France
to take all the Walton inhabitants of Belgium and settle them in
her remaining territory. The “migration to be accomplished
within three years and' the lands distributed as above.”
What England and Italy must pay the Pan-Germanists are
still calculating in spite of the imperial command “not to dis
cuss peace terms.” As for France she must “accept the en
trance of Luxemberg and Switzerland into the German empire,
give Germany her war Meet and colonies, except Algiers, and
sign a preferential treaty of commerce, breaking all existing
treaties with England, the United States and Russia. Her
cash indemnity is placed at $7,000,000, calculated as “half the
liquid fortune of France.” Herr Rudolf Martin, former Min
ister of the Interior, lumps the cash indemnity from the Allies
at $20,000,000,000.
Can they pay such sums? Baron von r>edic JNeukircli,
budget reporter of the Prussian Landtag, has just exposed the
imperial hope in an official document.
“Germany” says the budget reporter, “may not be able
to demand such prompt cash installments as in the case of the
$1,000,000,000 won from France in 1871-73, because now the
sums in question are enormously greater. Money payments
may be replaced in part by forced commercial treaties, conces
sions of mines, monopolies and railroads and cessions of terri
tory, like the iron regions of France.”
On the other hand the Allies are likewise considering on
what terms they will be willing to settle, which includes:
A European “Fourth of July” promise to celebrate the
evacuation of Belgium, the return of Alsace-Larraine to France,
the re-establishment of the kingdom of Poland and'certain other
restitutions, like Schleswig-Holstein to Denmark and Istria
Trentino to Italy. %
The Allies also have a bill of damages. All the ravages
of German armies in Belgium, north France and Russian Poland
must be repaired at German expense and damages paid their
citizens in proportion to their losses. Blocking all the expenses
the Allies arrive at a figure of $23,000,000,000 to be paid by
Germans, Austrains and Turks. Germany must pay two-thirds
of it.
All of which indicates that the nations have gone mad and
have ceased to reason as sane people. To feed this lunacy
thousands of brave men are dying daily, and those men bear
no enmity against those they are killing.
Only the leaders are showing this desire for war, with them
“judgment has fled to brutish beasts,” and they seem to have
eaten of the insane root that takes the reason prisoner and the
sign of a near peace “stands not within the prospect of belief.”
-— :o:
The city council last night passed an ordinance placing a
tax of $50 per day upon itinerent merchants. There was an old
law on the statute books, but it was illegally enacted and could
not be enforced, but hereafter the fly-by-night concerns will
likely give Cordova a wide berth. This is as it should be. The
local business men are entitled to this protection.
