Planning for Peace

= ERMANY has known ever since the battle
~ OF the Marine that the objects for which
she preciptated the war were defeated. Since
that time she has been fighting for q German
peace Such peace. it is true, would be
victory short Of her original objective, but,
nevertheless, peace establishing her DOM
nance of world affairs more securely than
before the war. The allied powers fully
appreciate that she has been thwarted in her
purpose, but much they crave peace
they realize the folly OF suspending hostili-
ties before Germany is completely crushed
The blood of millions of slain patriots cry
out against a futile peace re-establishing the
status anto quo.
Hence, with increasing success they fight
on-not to destroy Germany, but to crush
completely her military spirit and power and
force her to sue for peace dictated by her
foes. Only beaten Germany Germany
with new spirit-will be permitted to have
a voice in the coming peace conference.
When that conference shall be called depends
entirely upon Germany. She can sheathe her
sword and sue for peace any day-and her
prayer Will be heard In the meantime, the
allies are making their plans for the con-
ference that soon or late must assemble
They are sounding their own purposes and
determining their own interests that must
be safeguarded in any treaty which may be
arranged. With view to arriving at an
understanding Of their separate interests and
harmonizng them beforehand, they are un-
officially comforting among themselves They
are clearing the decks for cooperative action
to secure the fruits of victory at the con-
ference table-to make the world safe for
democracy. These activities do not imply
any weakened purpose to continue the
struggle until its prolongation is no longer
necessary. They rather bespeak unshaken
confidence in the outcome.
America has determined to follow the other
allied nations in thus making ready for peace,
and will start similar activities by estab-
fishing an intelligence organization of her
own, to keep herself fully informed as to the
sentiment Of Europe and tho plans and
projects of the allied governments toward the
peace conference. Such q clearing up of the
situation is necessary strategical survey to
enable this country to fully comprehend the
situation and make its power a preponderat-
Ing influence In the peace counsels. For the
important work of organizing and directing
these activities President Wilson, 1t Is stated
has designated Colonel E. M. House. his con-
fdential friend and adviser. as the head
The choice Of Colonel House is regarded as
emnently wise one, as in his unofficial
relations with the European governments as
enjoys prestige in government circles
throughout the world which will enable him
to get at the sources of in formation and other
wise lay the basis for Intelligent action when
the conference Is called.
