What Kind of Peace for Ger
many?
many!

many!
Under the spur Of necessity the tremendous military
organization elded by the German emperor to be used
in another effort to break down the allied armies and take
Paris or the Channel ports The days of preparation must
be few and since Austas the preparatory days
have been reduced to hours The political, economic and
mand victory or peace without delay If peace cannot
be carved out Of the allies with a sword, Germany and
Austria must get peace in some other way. Without
peace they cannot hold what they have gained and with
out holding what they have gained they get vic
tory
Foreign Secretary Won Kuehlmann says there be
no decision by military force If he German mill
tary force he is undoubtedly right manifested by Ger
manys failure to obtain this decision last March, when all
circumstances united favor her offensive If he means
allied military force he is wrong because the allies have
barely begun to mass their notential strength The
United States is the strongest power that is arrayed
against Germany and it has placed in France only 1OOO
900 of its fighting 1t is foolish of DR.. Kuehmann
say that decision be reached by military force
lea is organizing against the enemy.
Long beofer America has actually developed and APP
piled all her strength the enemy doubtless will have gain
ed peace: The allies devoutly believe that Germanys
peace will be the peace of defeat They have accurate in
formation concerning the interior conditions in Germany
and Hungary and the conditions in countries
quered by Germany and they know that unless Germany
hold occupied territory and make produce food the
war will have to come to end by Germanys surrender
In order to hold occupied territory the German army must
defeat the allied armies constantly increasing in strength
and daily becoming menacng How Germany
be strong in the field and weak in the bread basket? That
is the nsoube problem that underlies Won Kuehlmanns
admission that the connt be settled by military force
Pending the hour when Germany must compromise be-
tween famine and greed the German army strong and
the necessity of victory such drive the emperor and
his captains test the fatefu issue They will strike for
Paris and the Channel If they fail they will have sacr
feed few hundred thousand Germans, the winter will
be at hand and satagem such as mirage of spos
in Russia will have to be devised to delude the German
people into continuing support Of the If they win
they will be abe they hope to force France out of the
and possibly cut off the American communications
Then they would have hopes of beating the British army
and obtaining peace with victory
The allies ready for the German attack Their no
fear that the Germans will reach either Paris or the Chan
mel, matter what sacrifices they may make In the
meantime, having made their lines impregnabe the allies
actively engaged in plans for making German schemes
in Russia to naught. Much has been accom-
Ushed in the creation of definite allied policy than has
been made public The United States is the leader in the
the public and of course the enemy an mixing Of what
is to come but if he should maintain silence it will not be
the silence of doubt and inaction.
If there some evidences of allied propaganda in
Austria-Hungary and activity by the allied fleets in the
Adriatc there would be further development
of enerby required to encompass the defeat of the Ger
mans While Russia being propped up the props should
be knocked from under Austria One effort supplements
the other and both may be necessary to settle the war
It is evident at any rate that the Hapsburg dynasty must
follow the Hohenzoern dynasty to the rubbish heap if
the nations of Europe to be free and SAFE Austria
will be dsmembered in any event when the German power
is destroyed but ought to be apparent to the United
States that Austras dismembement would be equivalent
to amputatng the left of Germany's power. Ger
many would be vastly easier to beat with the Hapsburg
empire cancelled and with ant-German kingdoms and
republics arising in its place. The moment Austria is dis
solved Germanys dream of absorbing Russia dissoves
with it.-Washington Post
