ATTEMPT
BADLY BUNGLED :
SAYS WAR EXPERT
Hopes For Peace Proposals
From Allies Which Will
Save Military Power

Omitted Press war expert)

New York July lS.-Germany's an
ticipated peace offensive has been
cluinsily begun by Chancellor Hertling
His purpose is to throw the initiative
for making detailed offers for ending
the war upon the allies, hoping thus
to bury the principal allied demand
that German militarism be crushed be-
fore peace treaty can be signed.
Won Herthng interprets America s
resolve that the Gernhn militarists
be made impctent as meaning America
is determined upon the destruction Of
German craftsmanship. Won Hertling
is seeking to fool the German people
into consenting to further blood sac
rifices for the Hohenzollern megalo-
maniacs who demand that the world
shall bow to the divine right of kings.
The last hope of the kaiser to con.
tinue the destruction of German man
hood is that his subjects will fail to
differentia.e between the overthrow
of Germany s war lords and the over
throw of Germany as q sovereign state.
Won Hertling has now been set to work
to confuse the Germans over this issue
and to clear. the ground for new Ger
man cemeteries.
1t is difficult to believe the Ger.
man people can long be deceived by
the despairing effort of the kaiser to
affix the selfish ambitions of his blood
stained royal house upon Germany
future. If he succeeds in doing this,
Germany will have no future. Won
Hertling's camouflage means the kais'
er's diplomats are now retiring to de-
fensive positions. They are begging
the cruelty maltreated German people
to save their own taIskmastcrs from
the punishment which an outraged
world is preparing to inflct.
Nothing, however, can prevent that
punishment. America s wonderful pro
