WAR-WEARY WILHELM SEES HIS
FINISH

Whether they are camouflage OF
the genuine stuff, the kaiser's pur-
ported peace terms, as conveyed to
Russia by Austria, contain confes-
sion Of defeat Germany, it is de
clared is perfectly willing to re-
nounce her conquests, accepting the
Rus Ian formula OF mo annexations
and no indemnities," but insists that
an parties to the conflict pay their
own war expenses. It is not to be
supposed that the allies will accept
any such terms, because the Hohen-
zollerns must be made to pay for
their high crimes, but even so, 1t is
plain that if the war should end up
on such a basis, it would be a mon
umenlal defeat for Germany
why did the kaiser and his part
ner in crime start the terrible trag-
ed Why did they spend half a cen
tlry preparing for itg There may
la been some confusion in the
minds Of many Of us concerning the
answer TO these questions when the
flames Of war first flared forth in
August 1914, but all doubts that may
have existed have long since been
nated. There is no longer any
ion that the powder magazine
which was exploded when the Ser
b boy, Prinzip, fired bullet at
th austrian arch-duke at Sarajevo.
was part of the stage-setting ar
ran by the Hohenzollernsa as the
pra minary part Of their program Of
world conquest. From German sour
o1 Information we now know that
ttH4sse plans called for the speedy
over unning of Belgium, the capture
of Paris and then bringing England,
Rus Ia and finally America to their
knees. So thoroughly had the Ger
mans prepared for their huge under
taking that there was not the slight
e 5aGnt in Berlin concerning their
ability to get away with it Equipped
as she was, it was no surprise that
Germany was able to throw her ar
mics into Belgium and northern
France, later making quick work Of
Serbia and Montenegro and putting
up a spectacular showing of victory
everywhere. Instead, the astonish-
ing thing, considering the unprepar-
edness Of the entente allies, was that
she got no further with her program.
NOW for more than two years the
kaisers armies have been held at
bay the myth Of their invincibility
having been completely exploded
The quick conquest Of Roumania and
the exit Of Russia from the scene as
a belligerent with a few desperate
drives like the recent one in northern
italy. have been used to bolster up
the Tagging spirits Of the German
people but the ruling powers are un-
der no delusion as to the futility Of
these incidents as decisive factors in
the struggle. The kaiser and his war
lords plainly see the handwriting on
the wall. They know to a certainty
that the entrance of America into
the game spelled their doom and
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1917-12-29

now granting that they are willing to
carry out their purported peace
terms, they are ready to give Up the
glitter.ng prize which they started
out to win, being content to quit the
game II they can save themselves
from having the cost Of the catastro-
phe loaded onto them. Wilhelm is
wise enough to know that it is bet
ter to quit while the quitting is com
paratively good than to continue the
contest and finally have to give up
his conquests, paying the full price
Qf his folly to boot.
German militarism has failed The
best laid plans of the master STRAIT
egists OF the kaiser's army have been
balked and the whole huge war ma
chine is powerless to execute the
purposes for which it was construct
ed. Don't mistake our meaning: this
machine is by no means out of com
mission-Germany has immense fight
ing power left and to completely
crush her military organization may
require the work Of years but never
theless, the ultimate outcome Of the
struggle is certain.
German frightiulness has failed
The murder Of innocent women and
children in air raids and all the mon
strous crimes committed on the civil
ian populations OF captured lands
nave served no purpose except to
make the German name a hiss and a
by-,Nrd among all civilized peoples.
The German submarine campaign
has failed. Piracy and murders on
the high seas bought the kaiser moth
ing except America as belligerent-
The submarine cannot starye his enc
mics.
German propaganda has gained
large success in Russia but it has
failed in its larger purposes else
where.
Germau commerce has been swept
from the seas and the German colo
MES are gone as a sacrifice to the
war god.
The German dream Of world con-
quest is completely shattered
Why should not the kaiser want
peace before the san of the Hohen
zollerns has set forever? With his
armies still camped on the soil Of
lands temporarily conquered, he is
a defeated man and peace now is the
only thing that can save him from
crushing disaster
Self-denying Wilhelm will have to
humble himself little more. He
must learn the stern lesson that the
forces fighting him will not leave the
field till America and every other
country is made "safe for democra-
cy." If he wants to make a real
peace proposal, one that will receive
serious hearing, he should not
overlook this important point the
next time
