every way by our peace offer of De
cember 12. 1916.
But so long as the interests of the
American shipping trade and so long
as Great Britain were not menaced
dangerously by the L boat war. Pres
ident Wilson knew nothing of the au-
tocratic intrigues of Germany, whose
power must be broken in the interests
of peace and the freedom of the world
He then declared his readiness with
words. if not deeds. to restore peace
for the world and, thereby, also for
wicked Germany.
THE treaties of the triple alliance
and their purely defensive character
are known to the whole world, and
when President Wilson accentuates
the Berlin to Bagdad plan, we SUD-
nit that he shall let his British. Rus
sian and French allies enlighten him
regarding these open agreements free
from every intrigue, which we made
with Turkeys assent for the economic
opening of Asia Minor. or were about
to make when the war broke out
Moreover, we would urgently rec
ommend that Mr.. Wilson at the same
time obtain from his allies an expo
sition of the war gains mutually as
sured to the members of the entente.
He will find that Premier BRAND had
to admit recently in a secret sitting
of the French chamber that France
and Great Britain have promised
Constantinople to Russia and in re-
turn Russia has promised France not
only Alsace- Lorraine, but the left bank
OF the Rhine.
He will further find that the en-
tente has drafted a complete plan
for the partition of Asia Minor, but
IL, i
ties because the Italian hunger for
power desires more than Great Brit
ain and France will approve. Italy
has been met with all conciliatori
ness in the promise of further Aus
tro- Hungarian lands.
1T will be very interesting for the
United States further tc learn that
promises at the cost of Serbia were
made to Bulgaria as the price of its
entry into the war on the side OF
. the entente.
IF Mr.. Wilson sets so much value
on the entire human race, knowing
/ for what aims America is waging war,
he must urge that the war aims Of
her allies be made known to the
| whole world by the publication of
| treaties. Only then will the world
/ be able to Judge clearly whether the
| peaceable and liberal aim which Mr..
| Wilson proclaims is compatible with
| the aims of the entente. And then
/ the house of cards of Germany's
autocratic intrigues will collapse.
| New Russia has declared repeat
| eddy that such war aims were not
/ hers. Russia has rather proclaimed
: a formula of peace without annexa-
! ton and indemnities as her wishes.
! The central powers and their allies
! rather desire on the free and mutual
understanding with Russia, to create
! a position which henceforth shall he
a guarantee of durable and peaceful
! neighborly existence side by side.
