Is it not easy to understand the
| eagerness for peace that has been
manifested from Berlin ever snce the
snare was set and sprung? Peace,
peace. peace has been the talk of the
| foreign nations for now a year and
more: not peace upon her own ini-
tiative, but upon the initiative of the
nations over which she deems herself
to hold the advantage. A little Of
the talk has been public. but most
of it has been private. Through all
sorts of channels it has come to me
and in all sorts of guises, but never
with the terms disclosed which the
German government would be willing
Ito accept. That government has
other valuable pawns besides those
! I have mentioned 1t still holds
valuable part of France. though with
slowly relaxing grasp and practically
the whole of Belgium. Its armies
press close upon Russia and over-run
Poland at their will. 1t cannot go
further: II dare not go back. It
wishes to close its bargain before
it is too late and it has little left to
offer for the pound of flesh it will
demand
Peace Now Would Help Germany
The military masters under whom
Germany is bleeding see very clearly
to what point fate has brought them.
If they fall back or ar forced back
an inch. their power both abroad and
at home will fall TO pieces like "A
house OF cards 1t is their power at
home they are thinking about now
more than their power abroad. 1t is
that power which is trembling at
their very feet: and deep fear has
entered their hearts. They have but
one chance to perpetuate their mill
itary power or even their controlling
political influence. IT they can Sc
cure peace now with the immense
advantages still in their hands which
they have up to this point apparent
lv gained. they will nave justified
themselves before the German peo-
pie; they will have gained by force
what they promised 10 gain by it: An
immense expansion of German pow
er, an immense enlargement of Ger
man industrial and commercial op-
portunity. Their prestige viii be Sc
cure and with their prestige their
political power. II they fail, their
people will thrust them aside? A
government accountable to the peo-
pie themselves will be set up in Ger
many as it has been in England, in
the United States, in France and IN
all the great countries of modern
