tempting to place the burden OF Ger
man Imperialism and declares that
the war weary peoples or France,
Italy and Great Britain have not re-
sponded to the German peace invita-
tions because, ascertaining from the
speeches of German statesmen what
Germany's ideas OF peace really
mean, they were afraid to fall into
the hands OF highWaymen.
The writer says Count Won Hertz
ling's speech compels the question,
to what degree does Germany de-
sire to restrain Belgiums indie
pendence and whether she is not
thinking of violent, annexations at
the expense Of France. The writer
notes that Count Won Hertling fails
to take note Of any CT the events in
Austria but he adds that the AUS
rian struggle will not cease because
Count Won Hertling fails to see it
and that finally will force recogni-
ton. The writer says that the best
proof that Germany fears the in
huence of Austria upon the German
proletariat is found I'm the muzzling
of the German press and the protest
against this action in the reichstag.
