Effort to Get Sympathy
For German People

Thu purpose Of the Kaisers agents
in spreading this report Of the exist
ence Of an effective democratic move
ment in Germany is obvious. Iney
have nothing to fear from the report
in loyal Germany, and hope ie VIII
help to create revolutions among the
enemy. All German socialists and pro-
German socialists outside Of the Cen
trail Empires willingly and entirely
lend themselves to this gross decep-
tion-which may be sincerely believed,
however, by the ignorant and unin-
formed.
A second object Of the German
agents is to create sympathy for the
poor German people in the peace ne
gotiations, en- the ground that tnis
population, in reality fanatically loyal,
has unwillingly supported the war, and
that, therefore, Germany ought to be
let down very easy in peace negotia-
tions; the German Junkers profiting
as much from such easy terms as the
people.
The "Vorwaerts" has repeatedly
warned the world that the Entente will
have to win its own battles, and must
not RELY upon the cooperation Of any
section of the German people. This is
undoubtedly the truth. The only Ger
man revolutionists to-day, the only
forces working for the overthrow OF
Kaiserism, are the great democratic
armies that are fighting against 1t. All
the democracies have had popular rev.
olutions-only the German people have
never dared 10 attack their rulers. We
are all. in this sense, revolutionists
and we are fighting, above everything
else, to extend our democratic revoiu-
ton to Germany.

ernments and favoring Stockholm

political parties in New York inclined
toward Germany and against America;

ETC., ETC., etc.
The German Socialist programme
consists Of revolutions in all countries
as condition precedent TO revolu-
ton In Germany. They may be wiling
to weaken the military power OF their
government, but only after the mill
tary power Of the enemy governments
has been more than proportionateiy
weakened.
Because the German minority" or
independent" Socialists have attacked
Kaiserism (verbally)-as they nave
done, without results, for fifty years
they arc very popular throughout the
world. Possibly II they did not regard
themselves as tho hostages OF the
Kaiser they might or might mott be
willing and able to do something toward
q real peace. But they themselves are
fully aware that they are absolutely
powerless. The important thing is that
we should also be aware Of this fact.
And the international crime Of this fac
ton OF the German Socialists is that
they have allowed the German govern
mental agents abroad to spread the
false impression that they, the German
minority" Socialists. constitute the be-
ginning Of genuinely democratic peace
movement in Germany which is rapidly
developing the power TO overthrow
Kaiserism at home and abroad.

Germans Want
Uprisings Elsewhere

The German Socialists OF both fae-
tions are confidently looking forward 70
revolution before the end of the war
but only outside Of Germany. They
are bitter at the refusal Of Kerensky TO
betray his democratic allies, and hope
for the overthrow Of Kerensky by a
middle Socialist group, which will COM
pei immediate peace without further
delay. The German Socialists also
hope that the war will be brought to an
early end by revolution in France Eng
land and America.
The German Socialist programme
calls for a revolutionary-pa cifist revolt
against the war-making governments IN
all these countries-but not at home.
And not day passes that the cables do
not bring to Germany a mass OF en-
couraging reports from every one OF
them: The French and English So

their own country. But this need PROB
ably will never present itself. Such
petty revolts always occur. Until
anarchy became supreme among the
Russian working men the news OF all
these disturbances was suppressed. All
that Is now necessary Is to make the
most Of such revolts In the news

horrible examples.
Indeed, all Russia acts as a horrible

Socialists, but also to the so-calleS In

cialists in Russia--if they saw the
slightest prospect Of success, wnlch
they do not-they ere shocked beyond

Of the BolsheviM anarchists. II the
world were searched for the precise OPP
posite Of German socialism no better
example could be found than those
Russian anarchists. Because OF their
rise the anti-revolutionary sentiment
among German Socialists is growing
stronger day by day.

TIME Pope Of Rome is more deeply
interested in the external facts
Of the European war than the
head Of any other ecclesiastical or
ganization, and the war naturally az
fects the communion of which he is the
head more vitality than any other church.
This is true because Of the nature,
the claims and the historical attitude
OF the Roman Hierarchy. 1t once
possessed temporal power greater than
that Of national rulers. and one OF Its
fundamental tenets is that the Church.

on earth. has a right to exercise ex'
ternal authority of various kinds.
This principle applies not only to
the affairs of state (perhaps we may
say that in this field It urges its claim
with less insstence than elsewhere),
but in the matter Of morals. theology,
Interpretation and even history it In
sists upon a recognition OF this au-
thority.
Professionals generally disapprove OF
such a claim, but there is something
to BIO said for it. nevertheless.
The point hero to be made, however,
Is that such an attitude inevitably
gives tho Pope. as the head OF his
Church, an interest IN the diplomatic
affairs Of all peoples. and when these
affairs Issue in war that interest Is
very much intensified. And II. as In
tho present Instance. nations which
recognize officially the claims OF the
Pope are pitted against each other
the interest becomes so vital that 1t
could not possibly be ignored. And
so tho Roman Catholic Church has Q
concern In the war that goes far be-

In common. She Is supposed to ex-

Gould Not Change
German Attitude

No acceptance Of such q proposal
could change the German altitude or
government, and hence sutocrscy would
only be perpetuated By its acceptance.
Now, al Of these things have been
taken by the Allies to show that the
Pope Is not at heart really favorable to
their cause, and his enemies have not
failed to turn every scrap OF evidence
against him. II is for this reason that
any peace proposal which emsnates
from the Vatican is regarded with sus-
picion.
One cannot escape the conviction that
these enemies have been unfair TO tho
Pope. They have been actuated too
largely by desire to have him on their
side. They have not been able TO UNI
derstand the nature Of mind that at
tempts neutrality, they are unable 10
place themselves in Benedict's position
or to understand that he considers he
has a duty to both sides, and they at
tribute to him far more power than he
actually has. Those who accuse the
Pope OF being traitor to Italy and
desiring the defeat Of the Allies are
doing him a great injustice. In reality,
he seems to be as neutral as it is pos
sible for an individual to be; his enc
mics are so BIASED that neutrality ap-
pears to them as bias in the other
direction, so far are they removed from
its position.
have pointed out that the Pope has
been able to accomplish much good in
the war by securing a transfer OF pris-
oners and other concessions, and il is
quite likely that he will continue his
efforts with similar success. But in

Attempts to Bring
Peace All Secuted

Even the attempts Of the Pope 70
secure peace have been used against
him by those who sought 10 convict
him Of being pro-Germsn. IL Is well
known that all Of the peace offers have
como from the side Of the Central Al
lies, and when the voice Of the Vatican
was lifted 1t was considered 70 be a
voice from the same side. And that
Is the reason so little attention has
been paid to his proposals looking 70
peace. They are considered by the All
lies exactly as II they emanated from
the enemy. While this Is not the off,
cial attitude, Of course, IL Is the atti-
tude of the people at large and the
one under which the governments are
supposed to move. This attitude was
strengthened when the Pope put forth
his recent definite peace programme,
for that was a proposition which Ger
many could have we'll afforded to ac-
cept.
There we're several points In tho
Pope's proposal which could hardly
have been accepted by the Allies. In
the first place, it provided that Bel
gium should be evacuated and gusran.
teed independence-nothing more. Now,
that was exactly tho case with Bel
GUM before she was outraged, and this
proposal made no provision for a guar
antee on the part Of Germany that such
Independence should be respected other
than the Teutonic word Of honor.
In the second place, the proposal was
voided by It's treatment Of the problems
Of Alsace-Lorraine and the Italian IRE
dents. These territories, because of
history, nationality and the desires of
the people, should be taken from Ger
many and Austria, and It is clearly no
settlement of the questions to suggest
"peaceable negotiation" 1nH
II that would have sufficed, a settle
ment might have been effected years
ago.
In the third place, tho very phrase
freedom Of the seas" has a German
sound.
The European arrangement has, Of
course, been for Germany to maintain
supremacy on the land, while England
maintained supremacy on the sea-an
arrangement entirely equitable owing
to the character of the two nations.
But since the Franco-Prussian War
Germany has insisted upon being SUI
preme upon both land and sea, a pro-
gramme which, OF course, was aimed at
England.
