a considerable sensation. The liberal
papers, in particular, discussed the arti
Gle eagerly, one of them noting that the
views Of the writer had hitherto been de-
nounced as reasonable in the Conserv-
ative press. The "Kolnische Zeitung
which ranks as a moderate Liberal
paper and is often used to express the
German official view on foreign political
questions, came forward with an inter
esting Endorsement of the articles in the
"Kreuzzeitung," but its support by no
means looked like advocating a reason
able peace.
1t argued that Hindenburg's military
prestige had now risen SO high that no.
body in the world can longer venture to
believe that the Allies "plans Of destruc-
ton can ever be realized" Hence Ger
lnany's aims should be made known, in
asmuch as the use Of obscure and am
biguous phrases was having bad effect
upon German politics, was embittering
and dividing the people as to the objects
to be attained by the war. "a peace by
understanding at home" wrote the
paper, "is q necessity for us; for until
we get it peace by understanding with
the enemy will be impossible"
After all this thrashing out of the
matter the "Kreuzzeitung" again took
the floor to remark that the peace it was
thinking of was "as wide as the heavens
removed from the notorious peace reso-
luton of the Reichstag." 1t then printed
further article from it's contributor,
which went with considerable detail into
the kind of peace offensive that he
meant He said that the government
must decide upon peace offensive
"based upon our military superiority"
Germany's war aims should be SO formu-
lated that "the enemy can entertain no
doubt as to our consciousness of power"
The freedom of the seas must be de-
manded, including the exemption of pri-
vate property from capture at sea, the
abolition of the right of blockade and

been found necessary to take steps to
prevent manufacturers from palming off
upon the public articles which have in
them neither fats, soda nor potash. The
sacred word "soap," so Hertling now
DEGREES, may not even be used in COM
pound forms for advertising such Ger
satz" goods. These may be advertised
only as "Waschmittel," or substances
for washing And thus doth the afore-
time professor of philosophy climb down
to the hard realities Of life!
The German horses are in a position
to sympathize fully with their owners in
their struggle for existence, as is indi-
Gated by notice now running in the
Berlin papers under the caption, "Col-
lect Leaf Hay" l. is pointed out that
there is now a great scarcity of fodder
at the front, and "we have an impera-
tive duty to remedy it," To that end the
leaves must be stripped from certain
kinds of trees, dried carefully in the
shade, and then compressed into small
packets for shipment to the troops. 1t
is claimed that hay made from the
leaves of ash, maple, linden, poplar, elm
and mountain ash has a higher feed
value than the best meadow hay, eighty
five pounds of it being equivalent to
one hundred pounds Of the latter. All
persons with leisure time, especially boys
and girls, are appealed to to gather
leaves and make hay while the sun shines.
Much had been said in the papers ear
lier in the year about the great wave of
crime that was sweeping over Germany,
and particularly over greater Berlin,
Later on, it was claimed that conditions
had been much improved by the greater
vigilance brought about through the ad-
dition of convalescent or discharged SOL
diers to the Berlin police force. On the
other hand, the president of one Of the
big insurance companies of Berlin has
just written letter to the papers to
point out that the improvement has been
really very slight, and crime is still rife
to all enormous degree. He said the
six burglary insurance companies of
Berlin reported 405 burglaries in their
business in greater Berlin from March

by the failure of a few (Allied) statesmen
sweep them away as it prepared the way
for the overthrow of Carbon.
People in the Entente will be ready,
now or later, for reasonable settlement
with Germany once they recognize, es-
pecially in England, that there can no
longer be an appeal from the decisions
of world history. The splendid
victories of German arms will help to
create on the other side the willingness,
now lacking, to reach such an under
standing"
In this connection it is highly inter
esting to take note of recent "peace
offensive" in the Kreuzzeitung" Of
Berlin, the most respectable old organ of
the Conservative and Junker class, and
to register the outcome of that offensive.
This paper about the end of May print
ed prominently two articles from some
unnamed contributor who is evidently d
man of more than usual force and in
sight--an insight, particularly, such as
the Junker-C Conservative class has rare
ly shown during this war.
This contributor took the ground that
the time had arrived for the government
to publish its peace terms, and he used
precisely the same arguments as had al
ready been advanced by Germans who
sought peace by understanding. He
even recommended the giving back and
restoration of Belgium, which is quite
unusual ground to be taken by Con-
sentative. He also went on to say that
the publication of Gernany's war-ams
would rob enemy statesmen of their
trump card which he sees in the ambi-
guilty of Germany's purposes. The
writer took no stock in the current Ger
man objection that the Berlin govern
ment, by publishing it's war aims, would
be throwing down its cards upon the
table. This, he said, was "a naive con-
ception derived from Anticipated and out
lived political methods"
Such remarks from that sourca mazda

HDRoBABLY fair gauge of how
the Germans feel about the war
can be obtained from the pri-
vate letters sent from Germans
in recent months to their relatives in
American detention camps. Mr.. David
Lawrence, the Washington correspond
ent of "The New York Evening Post"
who was recently at Hot Springs, N. c.,
had talk with one of the American
censors who reads some 1000 German
letters received there every month by
Germans in the detention camp at that
place, and here is what he reported:
"He tells me there is an amazing uni
for1nity Of statement as to unbroken Ger
many morale and stanchness of spirit, not
withstanding the hardships and large cas-
ualties."
The latest German newspapers tend to
confirm this report. They give abundant
evidence that the military successes OF
Hindenburg have greatly strengthened
the hopes of the German people. In an
other article on this page attention IS
drawn to the fact that a great boom on
the Berlin Stock Exchange gained its
chief impetus from the hopes of an early
German peace.
This confidence in the German cause
finds frequent expression in the papers,
and people of the most divergent polltl~
cal persuasions unite in predicting
German victory. Quotations from sew
eral such sources will emphasize that
statement. Vice-Admiral Kichhoff, now
retired and a frequent contributor to
the Junker press, wrote month ago III
the "Berliner Neueste Nachrlchten
"Hindenburg and his feld-grays Will
finish the job" He Haunted the num-
berless zealots of peace by under
standing, or even remuneration" and
argued that "Germany's safety requires
crushing defeat Of England" He said
further: Everybody in England now
sees clearly that Germany will never
permit Belgium to arise after this war

TNHE latest German newspapers
give curious impression of the
II life that the German people
were leading as spring waned
INTO summer. There was much hunger.
There was great scarcity of food and
clothing, indeed, CT practically every
ming needed to make life comfortable.
And vet It is evident that many Germans
were managing to get some enjoyment
out Of life.
The Berlin papers, for example, de-
rribed the celebration Of Whitsunday,
the German Pingsten, as without prec-
edent in its usual German features. In
other words, people focked to the coun-
try in unheard-of numbers. The outgo-
ing local trains were stormed by the
eager excursionists and filled beyond any
previous rating of their capacity. All
restaurants in suburban forests or on
the beautiful shores Of the Havel had
standing room only for the greater part
Of the day and far into the night.
The Geological Garden in Berlin had
over $4,000 visitors on one day, which
broke all previous records. at the So
called "breakfast concert" there--a very
early open air concert at which people
take their breakfasts-not less than 3d.
900 cups Of something called s'coffee"
were served.
On Nhitsunday and the following two
days, too, many horse races were held;
and the gay life Of the capital-such of
the gay life as is still left-hocked to
the races. The costumes of the ladies,
of course, left much to be desired from
the standpoint of holiday gaiety; these
seemed not to harmonic fully with the
waves Of enthusiasm that swept over the
crowds as the winners crossed the lines.
There were also great bicycle races, with
six or eight events" on the programme.
