Entente should be willing to treat with the German government upon the peace suggestion, they must first ask of themselves from whom the sugges- tion actually proceeds, that is to say, they must first propose the question:
 Who at the present times rules in Germany?
 This is the answer. In Germany there rule the Junker, Big Business, the Pan-Germanists, the Annexation ists-short and sweet, the War party. It rules a little short of absolutism; not free of opposition, but it rules. Honor to Haase, to Dittmann, to Vog- ther, that they have many a time made war upon this War party; but as to the consequences of this utterly tame opposition no doubt can exist. The Germany of Bissing and Hinden- burg has nothing in common with the Germany of Kant and Goethe save the name. Not the moral philosophy of Kant and the clean humanity of Go- ethe, but dominion and expansion are lodestars of those who rule Germany And the active, the influential classes of the German people-they who, de- spite their being in a minority, do exert deciding powe-these very persons, who influence and determine the direction of politics, who are fam iliar with the ways of public opinion, they wish the expansion, the aggran- dizement of German power, although | they may hold different views as to the extent of this increase in power. And this very government, which under pressure of these Junker and Pan-Germanists has unclaimed whole sale murder, expresses now its read1- ness to negotiate for peace What this peace is to be may readily be dis cerned from the bulky articles on the l purpose of the war of the Scharfma- chers and Reventlows. While some seek through a more or less yelled an- nexation to add the Poles, the Ith- uanians and the Serbs to the Central | Powers, the others have selected at the beer table as their speciality the
 linking up'' in the West, and Tor these Belgium is to be German land or at least a vassal state out. and out dependent upon Germany.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF MILK

"Thcro are sixty-thrrc Assembly
