300 More Secretaries Needed.

Immediately upon receipt of the ad- vice that the new schedule was in ac- tual operation, the Knights of Colum- bus Committee on War Activities at the headquarters, 461 Fourth Ave, is- sued a call for 300 additional Secre- taries. These men are needed imme- diately.
 It is essential that the personnel of the K. of C. be greatly increased if the express service is to be continued according to the original plan. The service insures the regular delivery of 'Smokes" and other comforts to the men who are in the vanguard of the fighting.
 The Committee has decided upon a campaign to recruit these additional Secretaries. The quota must be filed within the next ten days.

Knights of Co., lum'bus Chaplain, just returned from the fighting zone in France, said yes- terday at the Knights of Columbus Headquarters, that the one article among all the K. of C. supplies dis tributed to the Americans that seemed especially appreciated and for which there is insistent request, is soap and towels.

launch tremendous peace offensive de-
signed to separate the rulers of the vari
Gus countries, that is, the leaders from
their people. They will make every con-
ceivable verbal concession, put aside all
claims for profit themselves and argue
that only the imperialistic ambitions of
their foes prevent the making of peace
Such an offensive will certainly have a
great effect in Germany; we shall have
to be on our guard to prevent it's making
progress in our own countries
We may assume that the peace offen-
sive will fail; we may assume that the
Allied nations will. stand firm and insist
upon complete surrender as the only
condition Of peace. Then, when spring
comes, Germany will have made her
plans for another campaign; she will re-
tire to her selected positions, leaving
devastated districts behind her. and
strive to break our first offensive blows
as she broke those Of Nivelle and Haig
IN 1917. All of her still considerable re-
sources will go into this first effort, and
the German leaders may calculate that
they may prolong the fighting for another
whole summer and see the campaign end
with the Germans at last within their
own boundaries, out of Alsace- Lorraine
and behind the Rhine In such a stua-
tion Germany may hope and will hope
that peace can be had without surrender.

unshaken and with the essential integrity
OF Austria assured. This would be far
better ending to the war than is now

possibility, certain to be counted upon
by Germany, that some Allied nation
would weary, that, for example, the new
election in Britain might turn out vic
tory for paciism.

the war. We have by our August Of
fensives turned him out of the lines of
1916 on which he accepted battle We
are at the present moment sweeping
him out of the Hindenburg line. 1t is
already clear that he will end the cam
paign at the Meusc and the Belgian
frontier, and he has in two months and
a half lost more than a quarter Of
million prisoners, nearly four thousand
guns and war material without meas
ure.
On the basis of what has happened
since July 1S, on the West front, we
are justified in demanding and expect
ing that Germany will consent TO evacu-
ate the rest of France and all of Bel
gium, abandon all claim for indemnity
or for the return of any of her lost
colonies. Meantime, in the east, the VIC
tory of the Army Of the Orient has
eliminated Bulgaria and broken the
German cdiice of Mitteleuropa into
fragments. Coincident with this disas-
ter has been the defeat of the Turk in
Palestine and the creation of situa-
tion which must inexorably lead to the
surrender of Turkey on Bulgarian
terms and the final liquidation of the
estates of Germany's eastern allies on
the terms of Germany's foes.

from this war will be weakened as no
other nation at war will be weakened, it
means that the Germans will have to
lay aside all the dreams which they
have cherished for half century,
dreams of world power, and accept con-
ditions growing out Of their conduct OF
the war which will for generation
leave Germany crippled. do not think
there is single one of the conditions
which I have sketched above which is
not consonant with the conscience and
the sense of justice Of civilization. | do
not think any one Of them is non-essen-
tial to the making Of safe peace and
an honorable peace, a peace which shall
guarantee the world against another
tragedy. But granted all this, Is the
German military situation so bad that
Germany will accept such terms?
do not believe this is the case. On
the contrary the German armies, despite
great reverses, are still numcrc Us, pow
erful, capable of sustained resistance.
They have before them a whole winter
for recuperation after a few weeks more
of fighting, and they Nave behind them
admirable lines of resistance still far
outside Of German territory. If we con-
ceive that the Germans will halt at the

able and those which would be obtain
able after military defeat, complete de-
feat, there is no great margin of differ
ence, and there is still, for them, the
chance, remote but real, that they may
escape the decisive defeat and endure
until war weariness and domestic un-
rest in Allied countries make peace by
negotiation inevitable. And peace by
negotiation means the salvage for Ger
many of much, Of very much, from the
wreck.
AS | see it, the situation is this: The
German General Staff expects to escape
any decisive defeat this year and to stand
with it's main mass of armies still un-
broken on some strong defensive system
when bad weather closes the campaign
of 1918. Despite its losses of men, ma
terial and territory, it will then claim
that it has defeated the Allied effort to
win a decision and that it has demon
strated that no decision is possible and
that the war must go on indefinitely at
a terrible cost unless it is ended by ne
gotiation. Then will begin a period of
reorganization by the German armies for
the next campaign and the fortifcation
of new lines on the basis of the lessons
of the present campaign.
Meantime, Berlin and Vienna will

present moment. Frederick the Great
and Louis XIV successfully defied Eu-
rope, after terrible defeats and even in
vasions. Germany hopes now to make
peace on the basis Of things as they were
in 1914, while keeping alive the posi-
bility of profiting from the destruction
of Russia But this means nothing more
nor less than that Germany will consent
to abandon now what she feels that she
cannot accomplish in the present war,
and that she will begin on the morrow of
peace to prepare a new attack upon
civilization, building on the same founda-
tions on which she built in the years be-
fore the present struggle.
There is no middle ground for COM
promise between the world and the Ger
man; not to break his military power or
compel him to surrender is to consent
to the continued existence of his military
machine, is to leave open for the future
all the old avenues of attack upon de-
mocracy. Victory is not and will not be
geographical. Frederick the Great lost
Berlin, but won his war and retained
Silesia. Victory is not comparative; it
is in the nature Of things absolute. The
destruction Of German militarism is the
destruction of the German army, whether
by defeat on the battlefield or by even

French cities and provinces; he knows
that the same ruin or the price of the
ruin must be found in Germany. His
courage may depart or wild and agon-
lied determination to avert impending
national ruin may fire him to still more
determined resistance.
I find about me growing conviction
that the war is over and that we are
seeing the last phase of the decisive
battle-that peace by Christmas" is as
sured. 1t may be so, but it is at least
as likely that we are seeing the end of
one more campaign in which there has
been no ultimate decision, no breaking
of the armed resistance and no tanning
of the will Of the opponent. For my
self, / expect to see campaign of 1919;
| believe the German will still be in
arms and fighting desperately when next
spring comes, and that it will take all
of our best strength to break his mill
tary power next year in full and ter
rible campaign.
Negotiated peace is and will remain
possible, if we are willing to make it, at
any moment now Between the present
hour and the opening Of the next cam
paign the German terms will grow Wore
and more reasonable. The German

at the end Of the present campaign, we
may see them standing on the far
shorter and stronger line of Antwerp,
Brussels, Namur- Mezieres- Metz in the
spring, or even at the line of the Meuse
from Holland to the front north Of Yer
dun, and behind this line is the line of
the Ardennes. Last Of all there is the
line Of the Rhine, strong, as we all
know, and certain to be strengthened
in the next months
Is it not conceivable that the German
General Staff will calculate that it can
break the force of Allied attack between
the Scheldt and the German frontier by
the end Of one more campaign and that
al exhausted world will, at last, consent
to peace by negotiation, which will save
for Germany, not her conquests of 1914
1918, but her position of August, 1914,
her position when she set forth on her
great and tragic adventure? AS it
stands, peace on such terms as are con-
ceivabe means the surrender of all
Germany's aspirations, ambitions and
rot few of her actual assets.
The military situation of Germany is
bad, but it is not yet sufficiently bad to
lead German rulers and leaders to ac-
cept the only terms on which peace is to
be had from the enemy. Napoleon re-
fused better terms than William II can
now obtain in the months between Leip-
sic and Fontainebleau; the result was
ruin, but the alternative was the sacrl-
tice OF his dreams of European domina-
ton. For many months Napoleon be-
lieved that he could wear out his foes.
that he could separate them by playing
upon their mutual rivalries; he believed
that France would rise against the in
vader in 1914 as it did in 1892. His
calculations were wrong, but the Ger
man General Staff is not likely to see
more accurately.
1t seems to me that the decision of
the world, of the Allied world, with re-
spect to Germany is so clear, so definite
and so fatal to German hopes, to Ger.
man future, that those who rule Ger
many are bound to fight on, because be-
tween the terms which are now obtain
New-York tribune., 1918-10-13

At no distant date all Of Serbia will
be free all Of Bulgaria will be in our
hands, the Turk will have surrendered
OF be at our mercy; Mitteleuropa, which
yesterday reached the Euphrates and
the Jordan, will end at the Carpathians
and the Danube. Germany has only
her Russian conquests left, and upon
these her hold is precarious, while she
has now to guarantee her Austrian ally
against Rumanian as we'll as Allied at
tacks at the south. And unless she can
do this she must expect to see Austria
at no distant time make separate
peace or fall into anarchy and ruin.
At the present moment then, Ger
many and her Austrian ally must and
unquestionably will make peace, if they
can, on the basis Of 1914. But we are
all of Us in America and Europe agreed
that the basis Of 1914 must not be re-
stored. We mean to erect a stronger
Rumanla, a greater Serbia, to bar for
ever Teutonic expansion toward the
south; we have recognized the Czecho-
Slovaks in Bohemia, we have given un-
nistakable pledges with respect TO Po-
land, we have in a very large measure
committed ourselves to programme
which, in liberating the Slavs of Austria
and the Poles of Russia, insures the dis
solution Of the Hapsburg empire and
the erection of Polish barrier to Tue
tonism in the east
In the present mood Of the world it
seems to me unmistakable that any list
of peace conditions would include Po-
land which reached the Baltic at Dantzic
and comprehended Posen as we'll as
Western Galcia. In the same fashion
we have accepted the view that the
Jugo-Slavs shall occupy all of the Adria-
tic Littoral save for the portions which
belong rightfully to Italy. We have de-
termined that Alsace- Lorraine shall re-
turn to France, and we have resolved
that Germany shall pay dollar for dollar
and brick for brick for the terrible dev-
astations of her army in Belgium and
in France.
All of this means but one thing. 1t
means that the Germany which emerees

will be repeated. But the German is
not likely to accept the only terms which
he can obtain, because he is almost GER

to risk all the consequences of another
campaign rather than accept terms
which will not have become materially
harsher if he fights and loses next sum-

This much, at least, is to be said and
must be sald 1t would be the height of
folly to make any calculation of anv sort
based upon the assumption that this wear
will see the end of the struggle. Two
evils would instantly flow from such a
calculation. lnsensibly but inevitably

inevitably disappointment would weaken
