The Wdt For the Week

Outstanding features Of the week
in the war news, were of politi-
cal rather than military nature.
All eyes were turned on the reich
stag Thursday, when the new chan
cellor, Georg Michaelis, was sched-
uled to make his keynote speech,
1t was not until Friday that the gist
of the speech got past the censor,
and then it was discovered that the
mountain had labored and given
forth mouse.
It must have been sorry disap-
pointment to the peace hungry citi-
zens Of Germany when they read
the chancellor's views on the peace
possibilities. "An honorable peace
has a strange similarity to "a peace
in proportion to the sacrifices we
have made"
THE Germans wish to conclude
peace as combatants who have sue
cessfully accomplished their purpose
and proved themselvea invincible"
is the modest desire Of the new
chancellor, who thereby assumed the
collar of the war party.
Could Ask Nothing Better.
OF course they wish to conclude
peace as combatants who have sue
cessfully accomplished their pur-
pose. They have Belgium, Serbia
and a great slice of Russia. They
could ask nothing better than to
conclude peace on the basis Of the
present map. Germany, now in al
most complete control of Austria,
Turkey, Bulgaria and Rumania, has
an empire several times the size of
the German confederacy in 1914.
They have accomplished their aim
in Middle Europe, and have an en-
pire reaching from Belgium almost
to Bagdad. Given a few years to
consolidate and reorganize this ter
ritory. and rebuild their army, they
would be in an ideal condition to
pursue the aims of the war party
to the logical end, complete domina-
ton of Europe.
No mention was made by the
chancellor Of any willingness to re-
store conquered territory. His idea
Judged by the rather meagre re-
ports that have leaked out of his
speech, seems to be a peace on the
basis of the status quo,-not even
the status quo ante. The allies have
tentatively talked peace on the basis
of the status quo ante, with in
IDENTITIES for actual wrongs done,
and some assurance that Germany
will not repeat her attack.
Unless later and fuller reports put
an entirely different light on the
chancellor's speech, there seems
little doubt but that the war party
is in complete control, and no pos
sible peace terms are yet to be ex-
pected from Berlin.
In England And Russia.
Political changes in England and
Russia during the week were of less
Importance. The British overturn
caused but a slight ripple, and will
have no immediate bearing on the
war. in Russia the resignation of
three cabinet ministers, reflects the
unrest which was evidenced in the
rioting in Petrograd. The new gov
eminent, however, claims to have
the power to put down the rioting.
It has been adopting a tolerant at
titude as the wiser course, but the
patrolling of the streets by a loyal
regiment shows that there is no dis
position to permit the anarchistic
element to gain control.
