Germany Teaching Her Children That
Decisive Conflict Is TO Come.

That Germany, instead of becoming
d~emocratized through the present war
VII launch another conflict alter a
short interval Of peace, is being ad-
mitted in Germany through various
sources. The Freie Zeitung, an indie
pendent German language paper,
printed in Berne, says:
at is already an open secret that
many OF our readers declare that
peace can only be OF short duration;
that all of Germany's aims have not
beer attained; that certain wrongs
must be set right as quickly as posi-
Bile: that the prestige Of German arms
must be restored in the sight OF the
world" The article continues that
the theory that "sooner or later Ger
many will have to be standing at arms
and attention again is being impress
ed on the young German today strong
cr than ever. Dr.. Rosemeier, polltl-
cal refugee in Berne, who formerly
edited The Berlincr Morgenpost, de-
clares that there is not the slightest
prospect o. Germany becoming more
democratic through the present war
Lust of annexation is infectious
and ever among the members OF the
more liberal parties of the Relchstae
there are rot a few who have been
seduced by it." writes Mr.. Grande

PEACE RESTS ON RESULT.
E~udcndGrf and Hindenburg Declare
Germany Must Bring Wars End
By Force.

Peace for Germany, according to
General LudcndortF, chief quartcrmas-
ter general, rests upon the fighting on
the western front, and without severe
battles fought to a finish Germany
cannot obtain peace. These state
ments were made during an intervie"
with German newspaper correspond
ent5 at Great Headquarters on March
i, and reported in German neWspa-
yo?s CT that date, which have been re-
ccived in New York.
Field Marshal Won IIin&enburG was
interviewed at the same time, ana the
Two German leaders apparently were
convinced that for Germany force was
needed to bring about peace. The
CHIEF Quartcrmaster General said.
concerning the fighting which has
since broken out in northern France:
the final fight in the west, OF
curse. cannot be compared to the
%hting in Galicia or in Italy. The
has a powerful reserve At hand,
which he may move on his splenaidly
laid out railway system rs he sees
lit.
But, however heavy the fighting
nay be, the battle must be fought out,
because without it peace is not OBJ
,ainable."
Referring to France, General Lud-
eNdolf said:
"#c may well say, without exag,
@cration, that France has dug her OWE
grave. Shc is about to bleed herself
10 death. Undoubtedly the French
ere brave soldiers"
