UP TO THE OLD TRICKS

Judging by the recent press reports relative to the Russo Geimanic peace negotiations Germany all forgetful of he intimatlons recently sent broad . east through the world that she is will ing to conclude peace with the entente powers on the basis of no annexations or indemnitics, is attempting 10 take odvanAge of the general disorganiza- ton of Russia and the obvious desire "f her people for surcease from the long period of strife 10 buldoze them into giving up portions of their terri tory in exchange for dubious German promise to keep the peace
 Evidently three long years of almost universal condemnation have not taught Germany the wisdom of adher- ing to promises or of the equally com mcndablc virtue of acting fair and square in her dealings with others.
 Several times during the past few weeks Germany has minated to tho world through one channel or another that she is willing to forego conquests and conclude peace with her enemies without asking indcnnities of either soil or money. II is true that she has not issued an official statement to that effect, but is can hardly be denied that she has officially sanctioned uttcnances of such tenor by permitting them to pass the rigorous German censorship. which k fully and completely under the control of the Berlin authorities and without whose consent practically nothing in the line of information can pass the German borders. Having al- lowed statements of this character em- Anating from her public men to pass 10 the outside world, together with semi official statements that she was lrcparing to make m effort 10 secure peace with her opponents on the basis of just and reasonable cOnsid crations she has assumed a moral responsbIlitv for these uttercnces for which she may justly be held to account.
