MAY BE a TRICK.

1t may be that Germany is in u
state of collapse. 1t may be that even
now a revolution is forming that will
get rid CT the Kaiser and all the
militaristic crowd. 1t may be that
he German military leaders know
they are defeated and are preparing
TO surrender.
Prince MaXimilian's speech to the
Reichstag may have been a confes-
sion of defeat. 1t is possible that those
excited individuals in the streets of
Berlin who tore the newspapers con-
sa;ring that speech from the hands
Of the newsdealers and cried out
"o.cace has GOMEZ" ".Pea,a at last!'
took that speech as an admission that
Germany could hold out no longer,
and therefore deduced that peace
INST come at once. They may be
right who assert that having conced-
ed 50 much the German Government
mist &c further and concede all that
the allies demand, that it is impos-
s;ble for the German morale, among
civilians or soldiers, to be maintained
after such damaging admissions.
These things may all be true, but,
eli the other hand, they may not be.
The events of the last two weeks may
all be explained upon a quite con-
trary hypothesis. The notes of Ger
many, Austria and Turkey, the speech
Of MaNimilian. the stories indicating
that Germany is about to collapse,
may all We part of the peace offensive
1lay all be German trickery.
The kaiser's address to the arm?
and navy certainly did not indicate
that ne Is getting ready to abdicate..

speech, n which he said that if the
present German offer is not accepted
the German armies viii double their
fighting powers to oppose the Allies,
cd not suggest that he 5 ready to
