The chancellor himself is, perhaps, at heart a liberal. He comes of a banking family in Frankfort, and while there stands before his name the "Von," which means nobility, and while he owns d country estate, the whole turn of his thought is toward a philosophical liberalism.
 Zimmerman, the foreign secretary, although the mental excitement caused by his elevation to the foreign office at a time of stress made him go over to the advocates of ruthless subma- rine war lock, stock and barrel, is nevertheless at heart a liberal and violently opposed to a system which draws the leaders of the country from only one aristocratic class.
 Doctor Solf the imperial colonial minister, while devoted to the emperor and his family, is a man so reasonable in his views, so indulgent of the views of others, and indulgent without weak ness, that he would make an ideal 1 leader of a liberalized Germany The great bankers merchants and manu. lecturers, although they appreciate the luscious dividends that they have received during the peaceful years i since 1870 nevertheless fell under their skins the ignominy of living in a country where a class exists by birth, a class not even tactful enough to conceal it's ancient contempt for all those who soil their hands by business or trade

 ulation of Germany gets that repre- sentation in the reichstag out of which they have been brazenly cheated for so many years, it may well be that a great liberal party will be the only defense of private property against the assault of an enraged and justly revengeful social democracy.
 The workingmen of Germany have been fooled for a long time. They constitute that class of which Presi den Lincoln spoke, You can fool some of the people all of the time,' and the middle class of manufacturers, mer- chants and so on, have acquiesced il the system because of the profits tha they have made
 The difficulty of making peace witt Germany as at present constituted is that the whole world feels that peace made with it's present government would not be lasting; that such peace would mean the detachment O. some of the allies from the presen world alliance against Germany, prep aration by Germany, in the light O her needs as disclosed by this war and the declaration of a new war il which there would be no battle of tn, Marne to turn back the tide of Ger man world conquest
