THE LAND OF BROKEN FAITH.
From Fayetteville Democrat.

ears. Whereupon Germany
breaks once more into dolefuI
walls, charging a worldwide
conspiracy to throttle and de.
stroy her.
What is the truth? Have the
Allies, including ourselves, de
| liberately plotted to tear Ger
many to pieces? And has the
rest of mankind turned callous?
The answer has been admir-
ably given by an editorial in the
New York Evening Post-a
newspaper which will be the
more readily credited in its ex-
PLANTATION because it has, during
the greater part of the past three
years, been accused of over
friendline.s to Germany.
Remarking on the tire mendous
misfortunes now fallen on Ger
many-the impending exhaust
ion of her man-power, the
threatened collapse of her fin
ance, the failure of her food
supply, the loss of her shipping
and commerce, the ruin of her
industries, all potent reasons for
her seeking peace-the Post sug-
gests that, overwhelming as
these evils appear, they are not
the worst.
Germany has to mourn today
a greater loss than any of those
mentioned. She has squandered
her moral assets. At time
when she needs to call up all her
reserves of good faith and conf
dence, she fin Is that they have
been wasted.
Nobody believes her. No.
body trusts her. Upon the Ger
man government the disagree
able evidence tn It she is morally
bankrupt is being pressed from
every quarter.
"fhis is the indisputable truth
which stands out in the recep-
ton throughout the world Of the
latest peace proposals of Ger
many. They meet with almost
universal skepticism and suspi-
cion.
1t is Germany herself that
has taught the world to distrust
her. A long course of lawless-
ness heapea upon duplicity, of
brutality intermingled with de-
ceit, has made every utterance
of the German government sus-
picious. Hence the amazing, the
painful unanimity with which
the public men and the press in
all belize ent and neutral coun-
tries have looked upon the re-
peated peace offers of the Ger
man authorities as merely a
snare for the unwary.
"Whom are they trying to
trick now? What new betrayal
are they preparing? For what
fresh burst of ferocity is this all
a mask? Germany ostensibly
holds out an olive branch, but
prudent statesmen insist upon
examining it to see if 1T does not
conceal d lager.
Thus is the fated and terrible
punishment of Germany already
beginning. She is reaping what
she has sowed. Her rulers have
brought the good name of the
country into disrepute. Their
promises no longer pass any
where at their face value. 1t is
as if the word German had now
become the international trade
mark for double dealing. This
is the havoc which the German
government, in three years, has
made of the proud old tradition
of 'Deutsche Treue.'
"Today Germans look around
the horizon and see nowhere
friend nowhere a nation that
will accept a bare pledge of the
German government. Every
where they preceive dislike and
distrust. This is the moral pun
ishnent of Germany for her
crimes, and it is not to be Won
dered at that many of her citi-
zens are crying out that the pun
ishment is great ter than they
can bear"
