Two Revolutions in Sentiment.

The consequences of these two revolu-
tions in public sentiment are manifest
On the allied side there has been re-
dedication of the nations through their
people to war for victory. The liberal
and democratic elements, so ready to
talk peace terms few weeks ago, when
they believed that a similarly wide
spread and sincere sentiment was dis
coverable in Germany, have abandoned
such view in the face of German
maneuvers at Brest-Litovsk. In Ger
many victory In Italy and the ruin of
Russia have similarly put the situation
fn the hands of those who believe in a
fight to finish.

German Trick Is Exposed.

At the outset of the Brest-Litovsk
negotiations the Germans sought to use
the bolshevik as their agents in bring
ing all the allies to negotiated peace.
They failed because the bolsheviki
stood firm just long enough to disclose
that under the guise of no annexa-
tions and no indemnities" Germany
was planning to seize 10000 square
miles of Russian territory and 20,000.-
600 of people. When these facts were
disclosed Lloyd George and President
Wilson took prompt advantage of the
diplomatic opportunity and set forth
to their own publics the terms of the
allies, which the British. French and
American publics were able at once to
contrast with the German terms. The
result was an immediate change in the
sentiment of the three allied nations
and their determination to continue the
war. Liberal elements in all three ma
tions. which had been deluded by the
language used by the Germans and
had begun to believe. Germany. had at
last changed her war aims and was
ready to make an honest peace. saw
that they had been tricked, and with
the perception the peace sentiment in
allied countries disappeared.
Meantime in Germany a similar change
had taken place. In the summer, when
German prospects were far from bril-
liant. there had been an unmistakable
agitation for a peace which should be
based upon the surrender of the more
extreme OF GERMAN AIMS But with
the collapse of Russia and the defeat
of Italy the extremists regained the
supremacy; the war party, which seeks
great annexations and huge indemnities,
regained its control. Hungry as she is,
disillusioned as the millions of German
people are, they are still sufficiently en-
couraged by the change in the ap-
pearance of things to be willing to risk
another campaign, with the hope that
1t will give them the victory which
would save Germany by imposing huge
andemnities upon the enemy and ac-

Glance at Former Campaigns.

And. with the exception of the verdun
operation, We have had no great winter
campaign in the west. The battle of
Ipres ended in the middle of November;
all operations until the last days Of April,
1915, were minor and local. The cam
paign OF 1915 ended in October with the
pagne. The campaign of 1916 ended with
the British victory at Beaumont Hamel,
an incident In the greater battle of the
Somme in November Petain delivered
two successful blows at verdun in Oc-
tober and December, but both were local
and with limited objectives. Last year
the campaign disappeared under a
flood in Flanders and with the taking Of
Passchendaele early in November. In
1916 the allies did not begin at the Somme
until July. and in 1917 they delayed their
Aisne and Arras strokes until April, al
though the German retreat contributed
something to postponing the attack.
Roughly speaking, we may say, then,
that the campaigns in the west have, with
the exception of Verdun. opened not ear
lier than April and ended in November

both sides. The bolsheviki claim to

Russia, when Rumanian forces dis~
armed bolshevik soldiers and held them
prisoner on the battlefront. One YER
sion of the incident is that the Russian
bolshevik troops were urging Ruma-

This would seem the logical solution,
nasmuch as Premier Lenine later In
the week ordered his troops to arrest
the Rumanian monarch. Lenine de-
