Attitude Toward German People.
Their plan was TO throw n broad belt
OF German military power and political
cOntrol across the very center OF Eu-
rope and beyond the Mediterranean In
to the heart OF Asia and Austrln-Hun-
gary was to be ns much their tool u
pawn ns Serbln or bulgaria or Turkey
or the pondcrOus states of the east.
The dream had its heart nj Berlin. II
could have Ind a heart nowhere elsel
II rejected the idea Of solidarity or
race entirely. The choice OF peoples
played no part In II NJ all. They ar
IDENTITY desired to direct their WI af-
fairs, would be satisfied only by undis-
putcd independence. They could be
kept quiet only by the presence or the
constant thrcnt Of armed men. The
German military statesmen had reck-
oned with all that and were ready to
deal with II In their " wny.
Policy One Of Deceit.
Is II not easy to understand the Gag
crncss for pence that has been mani
Tested from Berlin ever since the snare
was set and sprung7 Pence, peace,
peace has been the talk Of her foreign
Office for now n year and more not
peace upon her own initiative, but up
ON the initiative OF the nations over
which she now deems herself to hold
the advantage. Through all sorts or
channels II has come to me, n In nll
sorts of gulses, hut never with the
terms disclosed which the German gov
eminent would be willing to accept.
That government still holds n valuable
part of France, though with slowly re-
laxlng grasp, and practically the whole
of Belgium. II cannot go further II
dare not go back. II wishes to close
It's bargain before II Is too late
The military masters under whom
Germany is bleeding see very clearly
to what point Fate has brought them.
II they fall back or are forced back

at home will fall TO pieces Ike n

they have up 10 this point apparently
gained. they viii have justified them
selves before the German people; they
win have gained by force what they
promised 10 gain by II nm Immense
expansion OF German power, an I'M
mense enlargement Of German Indus
trial and commercial opportunities. IT
they fail. their people will thrust them
aside: "A government accountable 10

, Have Sought 10 Deceive World.
The present particular aim Of the
4 masters OF Germany Is to deceive all
I those who throughout the world stand
n for the rights Of peoples and the self
! government Of nations for they sec
. what immense strength the forces OF
9 Justice and Of liberalism are gathering
I out Of this war.
O. The sinister intrigue Is being no less
r n|ctively conducted In this country than
I'm Russln and In every country In Eu-
s. rome 10 which the'agents and dupes OF
the imperial German government cnn
u get access.
