TO FIGHT
TILL LAST
ExiIed Austrian SOlOn Says Germany Can
Only be Beaten Absolutely by
Crossing the Rhine
(By Wilbur S. Forrest, United Press
Staff Correspondent


Staff Correspondent
London, Dec. 1.-(By mail.) -"The
only way the allies can win the war is
to cross the Rhine. Germany other
wise will fight to the bitter end"
Professor Masaryk, exiled member
of Austria's parliament, now in Lon
don, is telling British pacifists today
that no mere blockade ever will ever
beat the central empires.
II think know the Germans" said
Masaryk today. Il understand the
psychology of the German people.
There is truth behind the German
boast that Germany in the end will,
metaphorically speaking, arm every
cat and dog in the empire. Germany
will fight to the last man and the last
coin.
"If the resources of Germany are
proof against the starvation Of her in
dustrial population, then the only hope
is the invasion Of Germany Germany
to all intents and purposes will De
beaten when the Rhine Is crossed
This is because the great coal and iron
producing zone will be then invaded.
Silesia alone could hardly meet the
German requirements also Essen and
the neighboring munition factories, on
which Germany is largely dependent,
should come easily under the lombard
ment of the allies, if only from the air.
Besides, Germany would have been de-
prived Of all the material derived from
northern France and Belgium. rAc'
would be hopelessly handicap ID"
Professor Masaryk does not believe
Germany is faced with shortage of
men. If there is any man-power diff
ficulty at all, it is connected with the
enormous output Of munitions, he
thinks. He is also confident that Ger
many's allies will fight to the last
He added;
"The spirit of resistance in Austria
is not as strong as it is in Germany,
but Austria also will go on to the end.
The men who make revolutions are in
the army and the military machine
holds them in an iron grip. That ma
chine is run by Germany.
Bulgaria will fight to the enu- She

has Bulgaria in her grip and will not
let go. Turkey fights on for Constan-
tinople. Both Bulgaria and Turkey
want peace, but not on the allies
terms.
Germany is a long way from being
beaten" the Austrian ex-legislator de-
clared. "There will be no revolution
in Germany. The military people will
see to that In any case the roots of
revolution have poor soil in the sub
missive populations
The people who preach after-the-
war-preparedness in allied countries
are preaching a wise gospel, said Pro-
fessor Masaryk.
"If Germany is defeated, my impress
sion is that defeated Germany will
work so hard that the allies, so far
from taking things easily will have all
their work cut out to compete with
her. After the defeat at Jena, the
Prussians set to work to organize
themselves better and we see the re-
suits in the display of strength to

4 JUST ARRANGEMENT.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, very pro-
perly arraigned President Wilson's
administration in the u. 5. Senate, for
his failure to prohibit the shipping of
arms and ammunition into Mexico. In
March. 1912. Congress gave full power
to the President to lay an embargo on
arms and munitions of war going into
Mexico. President Taft promptly laid
the embargo. In August, 1913, IL his
address to Congress, President Will
son endorsed this policy and said ne
would continue it. Then he changed
his mind-a chronic habit with VIII
son. He took off the embargo, and
shipments of arms and war munitions
poured into Mexico. Later on the
State Department announced that the
embargo was again laid, but the fact
remains land Senator Borah has ac-
cumulated his proof thereof) that all
the arms and ammunition MeXicans
can buy are being sent them by Amer
lean manufacturers. In other words,
the arms which the MeXicans are us
ing against American soldiers and
citizens, and against each other, are
being supplied them by Americans
with the connivance and consent of
this Government. Senator Bo1ah was
justified in severely arraigning the
Wilson Administration for such re-
prehensible conduct. When the Amerl-
can people become aware of that con-
duct they will join in the arrangement
and condemnation. Mr.. Wilson talks
well. Hearing or reading his speeches,
one quite admires him. 1t is not his
talk; it is his conduct that fires ones
indignation. Put him back in the
Professors chair or on the lecture
platform. That is where he belongs.
He is dismal failure when It comes
to administration.

THE SUN CONFIRMS US.

appointment of Senator W. J. Ogden

any such procedure.

that he intended to make ues OF the

this connection, it being the official

particular fitness for the position at
all. If Davenport were really OBJ
iectionable to the members of the
Board for personal or other leasons,
the only thing they could have done
in good conscience was to name

1t is amusing to watch the efforts

State to make capital for "Davie"
Lewis, their candidate for u S. Sen
ator, on the ground that he is the
father of the parcel post" Why, he
is not even the step-father of the par
Gel post-in fact about the only rela-
ton which Congressman Lewis has
sustained to the parcel post is to mail
out loads of literature. under his
frank, on the subject for several
years back. We suggest to cur De-
mocratic friends that they look up the
record of Congressional legislation on
the parcel post matter. and see how
much Tor rather how little) Lewis has
really had to do with it. If this is too
much trouble for our Democratic
friends, We hereby cheerfully offer to
furnish them with Mr.. Lewis record
which, by the way. we shall do,

LET WAR BRIDES PAY THE TAX

Our Government requires an en-
traordinary sum OF money to meet an
extraordinary condition. What faiver
way to raise that sum than by levying
an extraordinary tax upon the eX-
traordinary business of the country
created by war? War brides" have
been enjoying unparalleled prosperity.
All previous records of earnings, divi-
dendS and melons have been cast in
the shade. Munition factory stocks
and stocks in scores of other industrial
concerns which supply commodities
for the war have risen to heights
never before touched. They did this
because of their amazing profits. In
England they take sixty cents out Of
every dollar of such war-hridc profits.
All over our country companies have
been declaring dividends and extra
dividends and stock dividends ranging
from % to one thousand per cent. as a
direct result of war orders. Such un-
expected and abnormal prosperity fur
nishes the best possible field for gath
ering additional Federal revenue. 1t
is said that even the United States
Steel Corporation is earning forty
per cent. on its common stock. all but
five per cent of which is being hoard
ed for future use. The fairest pos
>ible system of taxation is that which
