The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1918-10-23
Has TWofold Aim.

In our own allied countries he Is
seeking to build up the idea that war
must continue, not because Germany
has failed to comply with the ~eason
able demands of her opponents, but
because she is refusing to yield to their
ing Germany" at dismembering the
fatherland and at imposing punitive
indemnities. In a word, the Germans
are appealing TO the patriotism of their
W people and to the pacifisIn and
to the cowardice Of certain elements in
all allied countries.
More than this, by carrying on con-
versations with the president of the
United States, to the exclusion of all
other nations allied against her, Ger
many is seeking to create a breach be-
tween America and her allies, between
Mr.. Wilson and Lloyd George. Clemen-
ceau and Orlando. She Is seeking to
make Mr., Wilson her advocate before
the allied council and bring about a
| break between our government the
other allied nations, She is going
through the motions of surrendering
| to Mr., Wilson, that he may accept her
| surrender, and then seek to bind his
| allies to a covenant made between him
and Germany.
Finally, the Germans are playing upon
the sentiment favoring a league of ma
tons after the war. They see clearly
| that those who are the eager cham
| pions of this plan will be the most
| ready to make concessions to Germany,
that German participation in such a
| league nay be assured. Already we
| have in this country 'unmistakable evil
| dence that there are certain elements
ready TO sacrifice France and Italy,
Belgium and Serbia to the aust OF
the league of nations and let Germany
| escape from justice, that she may be
a fellow associate at Utopia.
