NJ acres of wheat without

because the allies refuse
to cooperate with Russia in
making an ignominious gener-
al peace they are thereby fore
ing Russia to make a separate
peace.
Of all cry baby talk this is
about the limit. The bolshevi-
XII mind does not grasp the fact
that Russia might continue the
war against Germany as the
other allies are doing. Russia
is the largest nation in Europe,
in population and in area. Yet
Russia cannot fight any longer
and must have peace at any
price. Belgium, Serbia and
Montenegro fight on and want
no peace based on defeat.
While those little nations stay

ties plan, in so far as it con-
Germs territory already occu-
pied by Germany and its allies,
is a mere piece of word play,
though they loudly demand
that this formula be carried
out to the letter with respect
to all territory of Germany and
its allies that is now in the
hands of the entente nations.
What effect this revelation
of the true junker attitude will
have upon the German people,
who had been led to believe
that Germany was fighting a
defensive war, is problematical.
At any rate the German gov
ernment may no longer tenn
porize. 1t has been forced into
the open. AS a certain sort of
American kultur puts it, Ger
many's bluff has been called.
A peace based on the status
quo ante bellum, with no an
nexations and no indemnities,
would be, of course, substan-
tial German victory; yet when
offered the apparent opportu-
nifty of securing even more
from the artless bolsheviki
German greed could not control
itself and the German mailed
fist attempted to close upon
additional prizes. Thus did
the bolSheviki make the junk
ers betray themselves.
Now the German people are
in position to know. as the
rest Of the world has known all
along, that the German govern
ment began and is engaged in
a ruthless war of conquest. If
the German people, with the
facts before them, persist in
supporting their government in
this program that is their af-
fairs. But they can no longer
plead ignorance. To borrow
again from certain school of
American kultur, it is up to the
German people. 1t is, in fact,
their ante.
Germany is still telling about
that great offensive to be pull
ed off in the west. Let them
bring it along while the bring
ing is good. No one is much
scared of the fellow who is 60
ing to do something tragic and
begins by talking about it.

explosives for the purpose OF clean
ing up the dugouts,
Official reports of the interroga-
ton OF the prisoners taken by the
Americans show that all of them
did not believe Germany would win
the war. One of the men told the
intelligence officers he presumed
that the Americans, like the Ger
mans, did not want to fight but
had to. The officers quickly changed
the Germans viewpoint by inform
ing him that all of the troops in
the attacked positions were yolun-
teers.
Thinks Germany Will Lose.
One prisoner, whose home is in
German Lorraine, said he thought
the fatherland would lose the war,
but he hoped not. He knew moth
ing about the Americans except
that they were in the war, the Ger
man newspapers not printing much
upon the subject, he said, and being
slow in reaching the front lines be
cause of mail congestion.
This prisoner said he was con-
yinced that the recent strikes in
Germany were caused by a desire
of peace, adding that all Germany
wanted the war to end. lie was GER
tain that an offensive was coming,
but did not believe it would be
launched before April l.
None of the prisoners had seen
any German TANKS, they said. All
OF them added they were glad to
have heen taken prisoner, especial
ly by the Americans, because they
believed they would be treated well.
The prisoners accounts showed
that the sector opposite the Amcri-
can position is commanded by Cen
cral Stalzmann.
