erS Yet his statement makes
IL plain that Germany looks
with favor on the effort put

1eads to the view that despite
MIchaelis' declaration there
was truth in the charge made
by the allies.
For the present the pope's
offer is more likely to prolong
The war than to end it. The
6Tusque refusal of the allies to
entertain the peace offer gives
German militarists their chance
TO repeat the claim that the al

Striving to end the war too

Since the war began three

to understand the points OF
view of Germany's neighbors
has been as much a source OF
astonishment to those same nei-
ghbors as the military and eco

won the admiration of reluc-

Germany does not under
stand. The German people, |
stubborn in the defense of their |
reactiOnary government, still |
dreaming of a Deutschland !
which shall be ueber allies, are
as completely strangers to the
psychology of the surrounding
civilized peoples as on the day
when the uhlans first crossed
the Belgian border to carry
fire and sword to an innocent
and unsuspecting countryside.
The fact is that the Germans
do not care to understand their
