WHY PEACE Is IMPOSSIBLE.

If Germany, warned by the exam
pie of Napoleon, is now ready for
peace. it is only a victorious peace,
a peace of her own sort, writes Frank
H Simonds in the American Review
of Reviews for January in an article
entitled '"The Wars Vast Horizons"
She recognizes that she has reached
that point to which Napoleon came in
1909, when have made France great,
he persisted in war and in conse-
quence lost his throne, while his coun-
try lost his conquests and those of the
Revolution. But her enemies cannot
make peace on any terms that are
conceivable in the premises, for such
a peace would spell ruin. Even if
Germany were prepared today to
evacuate Belgium, cede Metz and the
French-speaking districts of Lorraine
to France, persuade or compel Austria
to give up Trieste and the Trentino to
Italy, Galicia to Russia, even If she
were willing to surrender her African
colonies to Britain, these nations could
not and would not make peace, for
even with these concessions Germany
would still threaten the future of all
her foes. In Paris, in London, in
ReIOSIdO lEe COIANlCAlOh PtASioto AAleie
if the war continues Germany will be
unable to endure the terrific strain;
that, inferior in population, wealth,
resources, deprived of ocean trade,
she will presently break down as did
France in 1914. despite the splendor
of Napoleonic victories and the great
ness of imperial conquests. They be-
Iieve that another year or two of war
will bring home to the German people,
as the Napoleonic wars brought home
to the French, the fact that the con-
quest of Europe is impossible and that
the price of pretending to be a SUI
preme race is found in misery and
death, in taxation and suffering, not in
wealth, in happiness, or in glory. The
Allied economists and generals have
figured it all out. They believe that
for a price that the Allied nations are
capable of paying and should pay,
Germany can be defeated, worn down,
brought to agree to peace, like that
France acce pied at Vienna a hundred
years ago, which left the France of
1883 intact and took away only the
conquests of the Revolution and the
Empire. Such a peace will not mere
ly free Belgium and northern France,
but also Serbia. 1t will leave the
Balkan nations free to develop without
peril from without. 1t will abolish the
peril to future peace which German
supremacy at Constantinople pos
sesses. Some time in the next year the
Allied statesmen and soldiers believe
that the German machine will break
down. They believe that the cost in
life and treasure will be beyond the
: resources of one nation, which with
weak and burden 0me allies is facing

THE BUSY WAR BEES.

Verify, the war that is going to en-
tangle these United States in its
bloody clutches, is just around the cor
ner. little while ago, the American
Defense society announced that it was
formulating plans to raise the recruits
for the army that will be needed in
this war through an elaborate system
of advertising. Now comes the an
nouncement from the Navy League
that it is to begin at once a campaign
to enroll one hundred thousand skill
ed mechanics for the naval reserve
that would be needed by the United
States navy in case of war. And the
Navy League has already begun an
agitation for the establishment of Ma
val Reserve training camps, upon the
Plattsburg plan, where these one hun
bred thousand skilled mechanics. it is
about to enlist, can get a little prac-
tice work from time to time. Thus is
another considerable burden that
Uncle Sam would ordinarily have to
bother with, when his war comes
along, lifted from his shoulders. Sure
~ no nation is as fortunate as is this
one in the possession of public-spirited
citizens who are willing to undertake
the making Oh all war prepdI dtAOhS IL
may need. Why congress should worry
it's head at all with preparedness for
war programs is a mystery. There is
a privately organized society of one
sort or another that considers itself
competent to solve each and every
war-preparedness problem in the best
possible way. and furthermore they
are already at work on them, as busy
as bees. Indeed, all congress appar-
emily needs do in the premises is to
provide the money to pay the bills.
And it might facilitate matters if con-
gress did not entrust the expenditure
of this money to the war and navy
departments but turned it over direct
" to these societies

four great powers and is deprived of
communication from the outside
world. When that time comes the
enemies of Germany are not now look
ing forward to a mutilation of Gert
many. They do not expect, any more,
as they did year ago, that Germany
will fly into a dozen parts. year has
made clear that they are fighting a
nation,-not an emperor; and combat
ing the dream of people, not the
conception of few ambitious men.
They do not xpect,-certainIy not
those who possess any semblance of
reason,-that the people of Germany
will destroy their rulers or submit to
outside interference with their inter-
nal life. What the Allied statesmen
and generals do believe is that the
drying up of German resources in men
and money will produce a German
sentiment for peace,-for peace which.
aside perhaps from Alsace-Lorraine,
may leave Germany intact, but will
take from her all her Austrian, Bal
kan, and Russian conquests and leave
her, as France was left after Napoleon
fell, still great, but deprived of all that
she had won in her bid for continental
supremacy.
