AT BALTIMORE

sought 10 learn from those VINO spoke Tor
Germany whether it was justice or dominion
and the execution Of their own will upon the
other nations Of the world. that the German
leaders were seeking. They have answered,
answered in unmistakable terms. They have
avowed that IL was not justice, but dominion
and the unhindered~ execution Of their own
will
MILITARISTS RULE GERMANY.
The avowal has not come from Germany's
statesmen. 1t has come from her military
leaders, who are her real rulers. Her states
men have said that they wished peace, and
. were ready to discuss its terms whenever
their opponents were willing to sit down at
the conference table with them. Her present
chancellor has said-in indefinite and uncer-
tain terms, indeed, and in phrases that often
seem to deny their own meaning, but with as
much plainness as he thought prudent-that
ne believed that peace should be based upon
the principles which he had declared would
be our own in the final settlement.
At Brest-Litovsk her civilian delegates
spoke in similar terms; professed their de-
sire to conclude fair peace and accord 10
the peoples with whose fortunes they were
dealing the right TO choose their own alleg-
iances. But action accompanied and fol-
lowed the profession
Their military masters, the men who act
for Germany and exhibit her purpose in ex-
ecutiou, proclaimed a very different con-
clusion. We cannot mistake what they have
done-in Russia, in Finland, in the Ukraine,
in Roumania. The real test of their justice
and fair play has come. From this we may
judge the rest.
A CHEAP TRIUMPH.
They are enjoying in Russia cheap tri-
umph in which no brave or gallant nation
can long take pride. A great people, help
less by their own act, lies for the time at
their mercy. Their fair professions are
forgotten. They nowhere set up justice, but
everywhere impose their power and exploit
everything for their own use and aggran-
provinces are invited to be free under their
dominionI
Are we not justified in believing that they
would do the same things at their western
front If they were not there face to face
with armies whom even their countless d.
visions cannot overcome? II, when they
have felt their check to be final they should
propose favorable and equitable terms with
regard to Belgium and France and Italy,
could they blame US il we concluded that
they did so only to assure themselves Of q
free hand in Russia and the East?
KAISER'S DREAM OF EMPIRE.
Their purpose is undoubtedly to make all
the Slavic peoples, all the free and ambi-
tious nations of the Baltic peninsula, all the
lands that Turkey has dominated and mis-
ruled, subject to their will and ambition
and build upon that dominion an empire Of
force upon which they fancy they can erect
an empire Of gain and commercial suprenl-
acy-an empire as hostile to the Americas
as to Europe which it will overawe-an en-
pire which will ultimately master Persia,
India, and the peoples Of the Far East.
