THE FUTURE OF THE
GERMAN PEOPLE

Peace has come at last. The worl'
is rejoicing. For more than four
long years Immunity has suffered
and bled and died. Millions have
heen offered upon the altar of tho
War God. May we not hope thai
the last great war has been fought?
When democracy has been estab
lished in the world there will be Nc
more war except it comes through
designing men for its overthrow
The world has had only taste O
democracy here and there; but rea
democracy, (which is equal right,
and equal justice for all men. has
never succeeded in any part of The
world, perhaps the world Is not rea
dy for it yet. Russia tried 1t but
got no encouragement from Other
nations; but the world may yet
look to Russia or Germany for de.
Gnocracy.
If the nations at war with Ger
many had recognised the Russian
Democracy Gelmany's overthrow
would haze come at least a year
sooner than it did. Ule German
people were not sure Of the sincerely
Of the nations who claimed to be
fighting for the establishment OF a
democratic, or peoples government,
but believed they were fighting n
combination of nations whose puy-
pose it IVES to destroy, not the Ger
man Empire merely but the German
nationality But the old order
has past, the proud German En-
pire is no more, the Kaiser and his
crowd are down and ont and the PEG
pie are trying to pull themselves to.
gether sufficiently to establish a
peoples government; with what
success remains to he seen The
tragic part Of it is they will have to
undertake il unaided even by the
sympathy Of other nations, but will
have to bear the stigma that has
been brought upon them by their
former rulers and live down the hat
red that has been engendered in the
hearts of the people of other nations
ag .insi them.
But with it all thes will succeed
better than the people of Russia;
they are more intelligent therefore
able to solve the great problems with
which they are confronted il the
new order of things Their coun,
try has not been invaded and their
industries ara intact.
But will the Allies place indemni
ties upon them that will burden
them for centuries TO come? And
will they, IN the settlement, place
such restrictions on their import
and export trade as 10 make impos-
sible their commercial progress in
she future? Or will they deal with
the German people on the basis Of
President Wilson's expressed terms
Of NO punitive indemnites, no
forcable annexations and the free
developement of all national;ties?
The future of the German people
and the success of their democracy
depends not little, on the outcome
Of tbs peace meeting soon to be held.

Peace on that basis is the only
kind that will satisfy the American
soldiers. Their unanimity and infiex-
ibility on this point are remarkable
and II must be remembered that the
American army is not only a fine
fighting force. but is going to be an
enormous political force. A concrete
