Germans Lack of Tact.

GefmanS LACK OF TACT.
Whatever may be the nature or the
value Of German ku!tur.' IL Is quite
evident that it does not equip the diplo-
matists and publicists Of Germany with
tact. Dr. Ludwig Stein has only asgra-
man missionaries to the United States.
Only a German conciliator would have
told the proud and brave Americans to
look to the Kaiser for protection against
trucking to France and Great Britain
because they owed them money 1t was
not convenient to pay.
Germany Is very like King Cana,
and seems to be complaining. Every
body says I'm such a disagreeable man.
and can't think why. At present the
American press seems anxious to give
the why. and is giving it with much di-
rectness and force. says an American
newspaper. The world can not and will
not let Germany win this war.
Two months ago the world only dirnly
Gomp,ehsnded Germany; now 1t knows

the German people were nisled and

ribie. Instead Of having to fight a de-
luded people led by a mad king we
have to conquer nation Of hom!cidal
,naniacs. That is what American news
papers mean when they say the world
now knows Germany thoroughly. and
that the world cannot and will not let
Germany win.
Long War in Prospect.

last, fear. longer than most OF US
expect and certainly longer than I
thought possible, and it promises to
be the most horrible, sanguinary. and
costly war ever fought. ! say this be-
cause the allies have bigger task in
hand than the conquest Of the Ger
man army: they have to subjugate
the German people.
"Some may suppose that it is easier
to defeat a people than to defeat an
army, or that when the army is beaten
the people must submit. But Clause
witz, who understood war at least az
we'll as any newspaper expert thought
otherwise. He insisted that there was
a point at which to end war. and
that point was before the conquering
army came to grips with the people.
Unfortunately, the allies cannot adopt
this wise advise. Germany has to he
defeated, and more than defeated. She
has to be rendered incapable Of ever
again threatening the liberties or
Europe.
How long will the war last? No
man knoweth. Not the cleverest and
pest general or statesman In Europe
can judge to a year or two years the
duration of this awful struggle. But
every man in France and Russia and
Belgium and nearly every man in the
British Empire knows that the war
must go on until the incendiary fire
in the center Of Europe has been ut
terly stamped out.
"The war may last longer and cost
more than any of us thought possible
a few months ago; it may last until
italy an dthe Balkan states and Jap
an have been drawn into 1t. 1t may
last until the two great empires of
Britain and Russia have called up
millions of soldiers form all part OF
The earth. But American newspapers
are none the less right; the Germans
will be beaten; the world will not let
them win.'

have been cabled to Ambassador Pen
