ence and conciliation in her differences with her allies upon peace questions. And already 1t has arisen. This IS the greatest danger of the peace conference And ev- cry German junker, still hugging to him a hope, and every German sympathizer, still cherishing fond delusion, is taking fresh courage now, and again pushing the old propaganda game, in the effort to dodge the draught of the dregs of defeat in con- troversy between England and America over naval armaments. England's navy Is the breath of the English life. It has just saved the world and the nation, friendly or unfriendly, that undertakes at this time, of all times, to question the British seaPower or rival it, is at least presumptious and cer- tainly ungrateful and is endangering the peace of the world before the clouds of war have fairly lifted This column does not believe that President Wilson even contem- plates any controversy with Britain over sea power, and instead of maintaining a sinister silence, he should come out and say so and thus quiet the alarm in both coun- tries that has been raised by the spread of unwarranted and foundationless articles by featherbrained correspondents.

AUSTRIAN COUNT
 TRIESBACKIN PLAY
my Review I.ensed wirel

! VIENNA, Monday, Dec. g, tBy the ' Associated Press. Austria desper ate efforts in 1917 to withdraw from the war were described in a state ment to the Associated Press today by Count Czerin. former Austro-Hun- garian foreign minister. GeneraI Lu- dendorff, the German chief quarter master general, was the great stumb- ling block and Austria feared, in un- Jdertaking a separate peace with the entente that Germany would declare war on her.
 q never thought it possible to beat the entente, particularly after Amer ica entered the war" said Count Czernin.
 "A separate peace would have meant war with Germany. I have proof that Germany at once would have made war on us.
 Even supposing we had turned to the entente and had succeeded in win ming the war-there never would have been any winning side for us because the entente. by the conference of Lon don in 1916 promised freedom to the various peoples of the empire, leaving us in the divided condition We are at the present time"
 Referring to Germany, Count Ger min said there was only one group bent upon a victorious peace and declaring that England must be crushed.
 This was the military party" he went on. headed by Ludendorff, who is a remarkable military man. But it was our misfortune that he was too popular with the soldiers; so the em- perOr needed him and could not send him away.
 "I sent Emperor Charles a letter, a copy of which I have at your dispOsi- tiOn, declaring to him that the subma- rine warfare surely would fail; that we would never win and that we must force Germany to conclude peace. told him a revolution was coming; that Emperor William would lose his throne and that he himself would lose his throne and that every government head must see that we were the losers.
 Americas entrance, I pointed out, meant our ruin; her influence would be felt within a few mcnths in spite of the belief in Germany that America would never be able to arrive in time.

SUGGESTS JOB FOR M'ADOO
(Mobile, Ala, Register.)

Eminent engineers again pronounce the tunneling of the English Channel feasible. The project has been talked of for forty years, and its feasibility admitted, but for political reasons the tunnel was not permit ted to be built Also, for the same number of years people have had to make the pas sage between England and France in boats, and suffer the great anguish of seasickness, under conditions of peculiar severity. Now that war conditions may be regulated, how ever. the political obstacle is removed, and the project has come once more under dis cussion. We should not be. surprised if our MT. McAdoo, the builder of the Hud- son river tunnel, were asked to take the work in hand. It Is job about his size; and he would make success of it as quick ly as any other man alive.

Henry White, the only republican mem Der of the American peace commission, IS being assailed by many papers of the coun- try for his publicly expressed pro-German- ism before and at the outbreak of the war. It is unfortunate that President Wilson should select such a man for such an i'm portant position. There are plenty of able republicans whose Americanism Is 100 per cent.

Again has the pro-German policy of Hearst and his papers been brought before the public gaze, this time by government agent, who declares that the worst of the German propagandists in this country dur ing the war relied upon Hearst and his papers as their greatest asset in moulding public opinion in favor of the unspeakable Hun and his methods and madness. Hearst. can protest and deny until he is black in the face, but the fact remains that his un- American folly bordered close upon, if it did not cross the line of treason. He bears the brand and 1t should be kept before the public gaze.

An Old Marshal Of
 France and e NelU

Those Lorrainers held the celebration of all the history of that famous province ot Metz the other day when President Poin- caire conferred the honor and baton of marshal of France upon Petain. Premier Clemenceau was there, and Marshals Joffre and Foch and General Pershing. The ceremony took place in the plaza where stands the statue of Marshal Ney and French troops who had taken an immor- tai part in the greatest battles of the war were there, and an American regiment also stood at parade before the statue.
 Are the dead given to know aught of the affairs of the living? Who can say? But surely that figure of bronze thrilled with the old marshals flame as it looked down from its pedestal upon the new born glory of France. And it was fitting that the finest of all French triumphs should have taken place before the statue of Marshal Ney. For France never had greater or more glorious figure than Peter Ney, the red headed son of peasant innkeeper, who rose by his bravery and genius to be duke and marshal of France.
 At the battle of Essling, Napoleon gave Ney the proud title, the bravest of the brave when he rode his horse belly deep into little stream before the town and waved his sword all indifferent of the rain of bullets that made the water boil around him. It was Ney who commanded the rear guard in the retreat from Moscow and saved the remnants of Napoleon's grand army. Ney fought like lion at Austerlitz, lena, Leipsic and all those battles when the emperor made his last stand in France against overwhelming odds. But it was at Waterloo that he won his greatest glory. In command of the Old Guard there, he had seven horses killed under him during the day, and as the twilight stole upon that stricken field, Ney, waving a stump of a sword, left to him by an English cannon bell, advanced on foot at the head of the grenaders, exclaiming: wait and you shall see how a marshal of France dies on the battlefield But he did not die there. He was reserved for death at the hand of Bourbon king, who never learned anything or never forgot anything He faced the French firing squad this hero, who had shed his blood twenty times for Francs, and died as he had lived, the bravest of tlle brave.
 And SO it was eminently fit and proper that Petain should be named marshal in the presence of all the great of France of to- day, with Marshal Ney presiding over it all from his marble heighth. He had earned this high honor many tirpes over. This great France of today was but paying the the debt that little France of another day had failed to Day A small atonement for that firing squad at dawn of dark day. Petain could we'll be proud to receive his baton under the protecting and benignant shadow of the old marshal of Napoleon's day.

This column viewed with alarm the other day, the utterances of President Will son and Winston Churchill of England,
 upon that most delicate and vital subject, the freedom of the seas. President Wilson has been quoted as favoring disarmament and general balance of sea power among the allied nations Churchill was quick to speak for England against this plan. England is an island with far flung col onies in all of the seven seas, and her very life depends upon her power at sea. Her navy has saved her more than once in the past and its service in the great war is too fresh in the minds of all to be referred to now. And England, since 1912. has been fair and just and most unselfish in her use of this power at sea. This is the one and only question over which she would show anything but the utmost tolerance and patti
