her tone, but only after her defeat was
too unmistakable to be further con-
cealed from the mass Of the German
people. He has been fighting the Ger
man and he has pretty shrewd notion
of the enemy. He has measured him
mentally as we'll as physically, and he
does not find any promise in a League
OF Nations which includes Germany, and
he recognizes that unless the League of
Nations includes Germany it is nothing
more nor less than another alliance of
the old sort
Looking now to my English acuuaint-
-ances, | am frank to say that | find in
this quarter very little more enthusiasm
for a League of Nations of the sort
which Mr.. Wilson seems to advocate.
There is the same gratitude for Ameri
can aid that the French show. There
is the same unqualified praise for
what we have done, praise generous be-
yond measure. There is, beyond this,
certain inarticulate satisfaction that
after a century and more of mutual mis-
understanding and intellectual and SYM
pathetic separation a world war has
supplied the opportunity for the two
branches Of the English-speaking race
to draw near to each other
And again, for any request America
should make for herself in the Peace
Congress am satisfied there would be
quite as prompt a British support as a
French Endorsement. l feel sure that
both the British and the French would
be glad to sacrifice some portion of their
own interests if by that sacrifice they
could please America or prove their

gratitude. But, just as the French are
apprehensive, the British are disturbed,
and their disquiet grows out of the re-
ported purpose of America at the Peace
Conference to seek to transfer from
Britain to some international body the
mastery of the seas, the power which,
in British hands, has just saved the
world and prevented the downfall of the
British Empire.
If we should ask the British to asso-
ciate with us in a league made up Of
America and Britain, with France and
Italy as lesser partners, to regulate the
oceans, to police them, / do not think
there would be the smallest hesitancy on
the British part, for the British would
trust us to play the game fairly, to
mean what our words seemed to mean
when we spoke them, to hold to our
pledges when we had given them. But,
again, the danger seems to be that We
shall advocate the admission of the Ger
man into that association, the German
who has just desisted from submarine
murderngs because he encountered a
higher law of necessity than the one he
invoked when he started his ruthless
sea slaughter.
1t is very difficult to put down clearly

to new effort to exploit this view. But
IN the main we know better now, ID we
snail know still more exactly when our
two million soldiers come home, bringing
with them their own judgment upon the
German as he is and as he is likely to
remain for long time to come.
But either all the European nations
are equally criminal nations, in which
case 1t may be our holy if somewhat
risky mission to compel them to Law

door, or else there is difference be-
tween ne Ions and therefore an impos-
slolllty that these nations, with different
ideals and moral codes, should ever. or
at least should while their differences
exist, associate on such terms.
Our European allies are prepared to
make almost any sacrifice that we NAV
ask; their gratitude is unmistakable: but
there is one thing that they cannot do
Tor US: they cannot see things as they
are not because we do; they cannot see
the German as he isn't because a por-

background, fields of living green
which the German shells could not
prevent from creeping back; In the
middle foreground. long village
street so battered and burned that
1t was merely a canyon of cream-col-
ored ruins. In front of one little
broken house were four figures in
black-an old woman, poking among
the fallen stones In vain search Tor
something that could be used; a
younger woman, seated on what had
once been a doorstep, with her face
hidden In her arms; and little boy
and girl, who stared, half frightened.
half curious, at the desolation about
them. The little boy held in his thin
hand Red Cross flag. All four were
pale and gaunt the faces and bodies
of the children showed none of the
round curves that make the beauty OF

This is their history: When the
war broke out. Nine. Pelller, her
mother and her four younger children
were visiting her husbands mother In
the north of France. Her husband
and two elder sons were at home In
Lorraine taking care Of the summer
crops. Then the war! The mother
in-law of Nine. Pellier was i'll and
could not be left. Her old mother
was afraid to travel to Lorraine with
the full care Of the four children. Be-
fore they could all start together the
Germans invaded. Bad news is allow
ed to come into northern France, and
so as the months passed Nine Pellier
learned that her village home had been
bombarded and that her husband and
two sons had been killed. Except for
the Belgian Relief Commission, which
operates In northern France also. she
and her little ones would have starved
outright At the best they were un-
dernourished. Then the great push
began. and hopes for France grew
high. But as the French soldiers ad-
vanced they had to lombard the north

Germans to let her go away with her
children-even into Germany. This
was refused. She tried to seek safety

Home gone; husband gone: brave
soldier sons gone; little, tender boys

last she and her mother and her two
remaining children were repatriated.
