AGAINST BETRAYAL

ply to President Wilson on behalf Of
the German Government, states that the
latter is speaking in the name Of the
German people. He says that the Ger
man Government has been formed by
conferences and in agreement with the
great majority Of the .Reichstag, but
the question is what guarantee have
we OF the genulneness Of the apparent
characterization Of the German Govern
ment.
DR. Solf as German colonial secre-
tary has been as jingoistic as any one
In HIS demand for German expansion
though Of late he has seemingly inclin-
ed TO the majority party resolution.
The Social Democrats who are now
represented as having an active share
in the government are on the suspect
In July, 1914, the Social Democratic
party declared IL would not vote for
the German war credits. On August 4,
all but two voted for them.
"Scheidemann German majority So
cialist leader and his followers vigOr-
ously opposed the minority section in
their demands for pronOuncemeut OF a
peace without annexatiOns and in
IDENTITIES. They even threw over the
majority resolution at the time OF the
German offensive last spring and they
made no visible effort TO secure the
promised democratic reforms.
"The Reichstag, under the existing
constitution has no real power what
soever beyond the voting OF the sup
plies. A real representation OF the Ger
man people can only come with a com
plete revolution OF the whole political I
II President Wilson's terms I
are interpreted will have 10 be accom- /
plished. And there must be a free
heichstag, appointing its own minis
tiers, and free Diets elected by universal
and direct suffrage"
The London Observer SAYS:
by Itself, a suspension Of hostiIities
granted to Germany at this time would
be a betrayal Of the Allied armies and
Of our cause Germany would have
used President Wilson TO battle Marshal
FOch. There could be no almistice ex-
'ept accompanied by such guarantees
rs would make il impossible for the
Enemy TO renew the struggle. The
Miles complete victory in arms would
lave 70 be acknowledged and the con-
sequences forthwith accepted"
Reynolds newspaper saws:
me power OF Germany is stiU in
ne hands OF the Kaiser and the Junk !
rs, though, we believe that power is {
offering. So long as they stand in their !
laces we are bound 10 take them as 7
epresenting the German people aud I
MIL the German people cast them down I
Or good, the Allies will continue 10 4
Sc all the force they possess TO OBJ {
iin victory so complete and over / q
that these men shall be G
roken and disgraced and 60 with the c
lark OF Cain upon their brows. Then. II
nd not until then will there be a Ger I
ian people with whom we can treat. e
70 peace with the Hohenzollerns' Is 5
re motto OF the Allies" n
The Weekly Dispatch SAYS:
The Germans suggest that President | Il
lilson shall bring about the meeting il
a mixed commission FOR making h
le necessary arrangements concern /,
g the evacuation whatever they n
can. To this the answer is Get outr 81
D arrangements are necessary. The h
srmans invaded Belgium and other r
rritories without any necessary ar
ngements that we knew Of before m

wade, therefore they need none 10 N

Get out and pay back that is the ;,
