w. O O.------------- PRUSSIAN PEACE PROPAGANDA
By w. A. Wolff.

Germany has lost this war. We, the Allies, have not won it yet, but Ger. many has lost it. The German army has played it's last trump, and Gen. eral Foch has overplayed it and gath cred the trick. The game is not over but on the military side Germany is beaten. Germany does not know that yet. The German people have not awakened yet from dream of con quest in which they have been living since August, 1914. But be sure of this! The kaiser knows the truth. fThe general staff knows it. Ludendorff and Hindenburg, Won Hertling and Von Tirpitz, Ballin and Theodor Wolf and Scheidemann, and the new robber barons of the Rhine the great busi- ness men, know it.
 Will they yield, do you think? Being convinced at last that with their army, with the kaiser's shining sword, they cannot win, will they accept defeat? Never! Von Kuhlman sounded, note of warning to us, as we'll as to Ger many, when he said, not long ago, that Germany must negotiate for a good peace; that her sword alone could never win it. The German peo- pie had to realize that; Kuhlman. who feigning liberalism, dug his own grave at Brest-Litovsk, was named as the sacrifice He told the truth and was forced by way of payment to resign. It was a service. rendered in accordance with deliberate plan, and with the full knowledge of the German war lords, beaten in the field and preparing to turn to a new way of achieving their ends.
 Oh, it is now, as the war settles in- to it's grim and tragic final phase, that we must be on our guard, we Americans who hold the future of the world in our hands! The German ar mics, from this moment on, will fight for single end, and that end will not be victory in the field. Their purpose will be to tire us into a peace that shall enable Germany to achieve by tricKery and chicane what force could not win for her. The propaganda of the last four years-four, might say forty!-will fade into insignificance beside the propaganda that is to come.
 Germany will offer. it is probable, great concessions in the west to se- cure free hand in the east-primar. fly, in Russia. Germany will have clear eyes. She will think straight and see straight. We must do the same. We must not be deluded by talk of German exhaustion; we must see to it that the talk is true. We must not, we cannot, if We are to secure what we have won, be blinded by thoughts of revenge. We must be judges, stern if necessary-an it will be neces- sary-but unimpassloned.
 We have poured out our blood and our treasure. We have given-I speak for all the Allies, nov not for Ameri- ca alone-a generation of our youth. They have done and are doing their part. They have prepared the harves. for our reaping. We must not fail in the task that has been left for us. We must learn to apply to every subtle German lie and plea the acid test of truth. We must read diligently tine dull pages of European history. We must know, not guess, the meaning oi every statement that is made about boundaries and subject races.
 So shall we beat Germany in the new field she is about to invade, as we'll as on the bloody fields of France. So shall the world be made safe for democracy indeed, and the children of today and their children's chilren be spared from the sacrifice that has been demanded of this day and generation.
