Tottering Germany.

"Achaelis facing crisis which may force resisna-

i The foregoing featured prominently in the head
lines yesterday evening but anticipatory of the IN
evitable.
Michaelis as a chancellor was doomed almost be-
fore he assembled into the position He has never
carried weight even with the German people who
have regarded him only as stop-gap and parrot
of other Hohenzollern leaders.
But in spite of his apparent shortcomings Mchaelis
failure to make good could have been averted, if
he had been the greatest of all times The Ger

no man in her empire could assume the duties OF

able statesman by far, had bend before the fac
tional chaos which is permeating the entire German
scheme of government Kultur despite its roots OF
centuries, is beginning to shed its power
Michaelis has tried about every method TO appease
everyone and therein probably lies his threatened
downfall With the world at large he is regarded
only in the light of joke. His most recent verbal
activity followed the Popes endeavor for peace after
which the chancellor in unusual frank outburst for
Prussian. said
"a public statement of our terms this time
could not but injue German interests. We should
not step nearer peace and it would certainly
serve to prolong the war"
And for once in his life Michaelis told the truth
The German terms if stated openly and honestly would
not conduce to peace but to grimmer determination
on the part of the civilized world to wage to the
bitter end whatever might be the cost Sincere Ger
man terms would be those of the conqueror and only
through the illusoned eyes of the Kaiser can Ger
many look the victor
Civilization owes a vote of thanks, however to
Michaels for his plain words. The warning
needed in some quarters II is to be commended to
the attention Of ali the Tlyivered pacists, the pro-
German Socialists and all the other nefarious clques
that have busted themselves in this country trying to
pull chestnuts out of the FIRE for the dear Kaiser.

can read the chancelor's speech and still shrek
