which possibly would lead to retire

she boosted would be a final smash
on the western front with the avowed
purpose of winning a German distated
peace by force of arms. Paris and it's
sacking was her goal. Her armies
made appreciable progress, but early
in July the Allies started victorious
counter, turned the tide of battle,
swept the boches back from the sa-,
lients they had made in the Ally lines,
demoralizing and all but routing
them.
This reversal arms, the gradual d.
minishment of the German Army and
man power, and the 4. augmenting
strength of the Allied forces blythe
growing American Army, have put
fear into the Central Powers high
command They no longer see a Vi
sion of the German Empire dominat-
ing the world. Their arrogance and
trust in the force Of arms are waning.
Their armies are being pushed back
and harrassed as never before, and
they want a breathing spell, so
through Austria Hungary send out a
wall for Confidential and unbinding
discussion" OF peace, hoping to gain
time or fool the Allies into some sort
of peace terms favorable to them.
But the Allies have suffered much
from Germany's war Of aggression,
brutality and hoped-for conquest and
indemnity, and she must pay the
cost: Indemnify Belgium as far as in
demnity can right the inhuman
wrong done her; reimburse France for
the desolation Of some of her fairest
land and cities; give up any claim on
Russia gained by fraudulent peace,
and some other things, before the AL
lies will consent to forego their de-
layed humiliation of Prussian autoc-
racy, arrogance, aggression and
Wanted "kultur". They must be
taught to know her place in the econ
omy of nations, and that her place is
not "in the SUM-"
"a confidential and unbinding dis
cussion Of peace" indeed. What for?
What could come of it? What re-
lance may be placed in any pledge or
agreement the Kaiser and his mill
tary caste or juggling diplomats
might make? They have shown too
clearly to the world that they do not
know how to play the game of ma
tons fair and open. They can have
peace when they are ready to surren-
der their ill-gotten gains, pay in some
measure for the inhuman damage
they haev done, and give something
more assuring than scraps of pa
per" that they won't do so any more.
