gency fully studied out in some
Of the war plans published before
1914. Would America enjoy the
prospect Of starting to send her
two million men back after bring
ing them home?
In the circumstances, even if
the Germans kept the peace. they
would have the whip hand over
the Allies. The Mitteleuropa
scheme could be taken up again
and the Berlin-Bagdad railway
put through with all its political
consequences. With Russia dis.
rupted, with German kinglets rul-
ing Bulgaria, Greece and perhaps
Roumania. and with the Sultan
practically vassal of the kaiser,
Germany might rebuild herself
with little or no obstacles into a
power far mightier than ever. So
she might be forced. without vio-
lence, to win the war. in the years
following an inconclusive peace.
by manipulating the situation lef;
over in her favor.
Nevertheless. it is not ilnpro-
bable that the war weary world
will consent to an inconclusivc
peace-which is virtually a Ger
man peace-if the conflict contin-
ues beyond 1919. The lessons Of
our Civil War, especially the
trend Of public sentiment in 1864

If the Allied cause is beinc

abroad. but we nevertheless so be
lieve- then the high policy. tn,
moral duty. the desperate neces

cannot be too earnestly decided
upon. We should call out to thi;

our cards and do it now and in
