problem of improving the financial

TIE armistice proposal is examined
from the military point of view by
Mai Gen. Sir Frederick Maurice. for
merly director on military operations
and now military correspondent sf the
Daily News. He says:
MIIitarists show Hand.
The real center of interest at pres
ent Is the German home front. The
chances Of early peace are based upon
whether the German people are ready
to throw over those who have ruled
them so long. Meanwhile the mill
tarists have been playing their cards
well. They have shown apparent read
mess to make peace; they have
agreed to some form of democratic
government which they know is a
long way from realization, and sin this

they have drawn out negotiations with
Washington long enough to give the
German people time to recover from
the shock of realization of the ex-
tent to which they have been deceived.
while these negotiations have been
going on, German armies have been
skilfuIly withdrawn from Flanders
and from Laon, and are in no i'm
mediate danger Of military disaster.
In these circumstances the mill
tarists are no doubt hopeful that
the German people will come TO the
conclusion that the situation Is, after
all, not so desperate as they sun
posed, but is very far from warrant
ing complete surrender. The aues-
ton is can the miIitarists coerce
the German people into believing that
there is any prospect before them

Amsterdam, Oct. 25.-A stormy

that the Polish demands for the

threatened to develop into free

DR.. Solf declared Denmark's

acknowledged this in the treaty
of 1907.
