Both Indemnity and Annexation.

While the British government maintains
discreet and exemplary silence on the point of
annexation, it does not conceal its purpose to
require full indemnity from the Germans for
all damage done "by land or by sea, or from
air." The other point is freely debated by news
papers and political leaders, and they are quite
agreed that Germany's South African colonies
will not be returned. A suggestion that these
be placed under protectorate of the United
States has been made, but is not highly favored
on this side Peace council proceedings on this
point will be interesting, but it may be accepted
beforehand that Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and
Turkey will be required to pay to the uttermost
farthing for the damage they have wrought, and
it is almost equally assured that the immense
areas in Africa will not again be turned over
to German exploitation.

Where the Comedy Comes In

In the face of the amazing world throes as
thrones collapse Germany is still playing the
part OF the court fool to the nations at large.
For while the general staff has ceased to fur
nish its usual lying paragraphs for the joke col
umns as to the high value OF their strategic
retirement" Vorwaerts, the socialist organ, rubs
the salt of grim wit into the wounds of the
junkers and pan-Germans by crying out that in
the face of the Austrian debacle the famous
"Berlin-to- Bagdad" line becomes a mere local
"Berlin-t -Bodenbach line, n reaching only to
the borders of free Bohemial
How indeed have the plans of mice and men
and emperors gone aglee! But the real humor,
the real comedy, true to the Potsdam style, is
the announcement that our old college chum,
Count Won Bernstorff, has been Summoned"
from Constantinople to advise the German gov
eminent on american" affairs. To begin with,
Won Bernstorff is flying from Constantinople
for his life, while if ever. there was an ambassa-
dor who knew less about the country to which
he was accredited it was Won Bernstorf, with
honorable mention of his naughty assistants,
Won Papen and Boyd and the egregious DR..
Dernburg precious quartet indeed. OF course,
Won Bernstorff did know one man Bryan and
sized him up correctly, but the American people
were to him a closed book So as an adviser

TODAY
Right in the Spotlight.

Having set tight as an alderman
for 10 years and filled the office of
sheriff for one term, Sir Horace
Brooks Marshall yesterday went
through the picturesque ceremony
of being installed as lord mayor OF
London. As lord mayor Sir Horace
will have to eat prodigious num-
Der of official dinners during the en-
suing year, spend twice or thrice
his salary of $4,000 in entertaining,
wear gorgeous robes, ride in most
uncomfortable and wonderful old
coach, and go through a lot of tussy
ceremonies just as they were car
ried out hundreds OF years ago. The
new lord mayor is s. years old and
a native of London. As head of
large firm of newspaper distrlbu-
tors and publishers he has accumu-
lated an immense fortune, a gener-
Gus portion of which he has devoted
to philanthropy and charity.

END OF THE KAIsERs DREAMS.

Reports, seemingly authentic, have it that
Kaiser Wilhelm has abdcated as emperor OF
Germany. 1t is quite possible that he has taken
this course to escape the additional humiliation
OF acceptance of terms formulated by his con-
querors. 1t will be accepted only as a final
act of cowardice, an attempt to evade justice by
the man who, in 1914, drunk with sight of
power" liberated on the world such deluge OF
horror as never was imagined let alone expert
enced
1t is different Wilhelm who sits today
amid the dust of his dreams, to consider the
choice between making the surrender he de-
manded of other nations or further opposing
the force that is crushing his machine He sees
the ruin of three empires, drawn into the con-
1ict by his act, and must note the ominous
cracking OF the bonds of blood and iron that
have held his own together His warords still
gather round him, but their voices no longer
ring with the savage exutation over easy con-
quest and anticipated loot.
Germany's war machine is not yet COM
pletely wrecked but is capable of long and stub
born resistance. This is why the terms offered
by Foch are intended to end the war by such
surrender as will render the Hun incapable OF
renewing the fight. Only with disarmed and
impotent Germany may peace be made.
The world will know tomorrow whether
these terms are accepted, or if the fight is to go
on. For either event we must be prepared. Re-
fusal to surrender now may postpone the end
for time, but the victory is at hand, the
righteous triumph OF liberty over tyranny. And
decency may rejoice that so ignoble and un-
chivalrous foe has been put down, even at so
great a cost.
