EalIs 10 Sow Discor.I.

1T may be well to make clear
answer to this. BY singing out sep
arate powers among the allies, the
chancellor endeavors to sow mischief
and distrust among them. but he mas
failed. The allies stand together and
have pledged themselves to make
peace in common The chancellor
knows this well. He knows, too, and
the people of Germany whom he de-
ludes should know that nothing In
any public speech he makes can ever
form the basis of peace overtures.
These periodical speeches in the
reichstag are cunning blends of bonn
bast and peaceful protestations'
Through them all runs the deliberate
design to nourish German hatred OF
England above all her allies, to bol-
ster the fiction that the German gov
ernment is fighting a defensive war
and to forestall and prevent that
which the German government most
fears--a popular demand in Germany
for peace Never can the allies dig
nifty this attitude by taking IT as an
overture. The chancellor made his
so-called proposals last year solely
that he might be able TO refer to them
Virtuousiy today.
