A Mo.t Critical Period.

A Most Critical Period.
To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch
Sir.-Judging, as FAR as We can, By
the light OF the past. the first 1ve years
after tho war Will constitute most
critical period in the history OF this
country. The production OF food Will
not for some years keep pace with
the demands. and II will take our re-
turning soldiers u considerable time
TO adjust themselves 20 the conditions
surrounding Il life or peace Many men
cost TO them OF the necessities OF lie
will continue high. There will be no
way Of relieving the situation by i'm
portatiors for the rest OF the world
we believe that the native American
genius and fortitudc Will be equal to
the emergency and that tho good Ship
Of State viii weather the storm and
again voyage on the sea OF peace and
plenty. l.. r. s.

1t is reported that an agreement was
reached at the recent conference at German
headquarters that the central powers should
launch new peace offensive immediately.
promising their war-weary peoples peace be-
fore Christmas Realizing that the allies will
reject the offer that is to be made, the sole
purpose is to take advantage of the rejection
to stress before the people that the allies
intend to annihilate the central powers.
Thus cold bloodedly they scheme to steel the
people for another winter Of horrible sacri-
fees in a last desperate effort to avoid GER
tain defeat. The crumbling power of the
Hapsburg and Hohenzoliern dynasties must
be upheld as long possible, it matters not
how large the sacrifice OF life OF their own
subjects it costs.
Cheer up. Our aeros have been chiefly
errors thus far. but continue to receive
assurances that they will be terrors after a
