Europe but not one to which Germany has
not stood godf ther
Can we, then, hope that this flood on
which Germany's ship of fortune seems to
ride will stop at. the Austrian frontier?
That the Czechs. a nation with highly
developed consciousness and proud MIS-
tory, viii consent to play the part of sub
ordinate race, doomed to disappear in the
Austrian State, when they perceive that
many far smaller and less ripe nations are
being granted independence by the Ger
mans? That the Southern Slavs viii ac-
cept as coming from some unknown Provi-
dence the fi..e of being wedgcd into four
state-sYstcms and Will voluntarily renounce
that union of forces which alone will en-
able them t move forward-simply because
the old Austrians cannot bear the idea of
a new Austria? Do people think that his
tory viii coyly respect the individuality Of
the Austrian provinces? The new Austria
must come. b ause the old Austria is dead
The eulogists praise the "natonalities
state because it lifts the small nations
who would otherwise be condemned to pet
tlness. into the sphere of a great common
wealth and offers them the possibilities of
large economic territory containing the
sources of Development and progress for all
nations. In this there is certainly some
truth; it is very doubtful whether the
Czechs would. if left alone, have reached
that height Of intellectual and economic
development which they undoubtedly oc-
cupy to-day. 1t is only the conclusion
which is false: tor the higher a nation rises
in economies or in art the more Irresistible
is It's tendency to give political expression
to this development, to attain state self
control. Greatness and Importance make a
nation not modest, but self-conscious and
aggressive. But the "nationalties state" is
only higher form Of state life if it rests
on freedom of the nations and guarantees
them national independence within the in
ternational connection. Such state can
be moral form of linking nations together
and even if is advocates to-day
meet with much abuse, and its opponents
call themselves. patriots, yet Austria should
be able to recognize the trend of tlle age
from the development in Russia The Fed
Grafton Of Russian Peoples Republics which.
despite all the errors and confusion of a
transition period, is clearly in process oe
formation is e great exemplar which his
tory has erected for the new "nationaljties
state"

A Fruitful
German Policy

We should hesitate to adhere to this
ideal Of Austria if it were a serious
danger to erman nation in Austria.
But an Az r. mb;ning free, independent
national st.te higher unity is in real
ity the most fruitful German policy, the
only policy which would make democratic
progress possible for the Austrian Ger
mans. The ideal of The German middle
class to-day is TO preserve unimpared all
that exists, merely giving it a stronger Ger
man tinge This is an utterly reactionary
IDEAL, and so it is real dispensation of
Providence that these Germans should seek
their pattern in the rule of the Magyars
over their nationaltivs AID should desire to

liberation Of Serbia, Montenegro and Al
bania, the resuscitation Of strangled Ru-
mania and possibly the overthrow of
Austrian rule in all the Jugo-S Slav states.
1t would be the signal for revolutionary
uprising in the Russian provinces under
German military occupation and for the
recreation of an Eastern front.
All these things wait on the negoti-
ations to conduct which Bulgaria has
sent her representatives across the Allied
lines. The plea for an immediate arm
isticc was properly denied as possibly
mere rusc of war. But negotiations
without an armistice, while Bulgaria's
military power is daily crumbling could
bring no advantage to an enemy seeking
merely respite and not peace
The Berlin Stock Exchange was
thrown into a panic by the announce
ment (dened by the Wolff Bureau) that
Bulgarian ENJOYS were on their way to
Salonica But all Berlin and all Vienna
will be in panic while the Salonica ne
gotiations last. And even should they
fail Bulgaria can never again be any
thing but distrusted, lukewarm and
sullen partner in the central league.

bargain. He may haggle little now.

transplant this to Austrian soil. An absurd
idea, to subject the highly developed Slavs
of Austria to such treatment as the Slovaks
and Rumanians of Hungary still endure,
The worst fruit of this policy of the Ger
man bourgeose-wh wants to, bat can
not, rule--is that it is necessarily ham,
pered by reactionary reserves. The Ger
mans were once in Austria those who fought
for freedom, while the Slavs opposed to
them the resistance of the dead mass To
day. on the contrary, all Slav nations are
democratic, while the German bourgeosie
is obstinately opposed to democratic prog
ress. a comparison of the political ideolog,
Of Czechs and Germans simply puts the
latter to shame.
The Czechs have simply elected the
nobility from their nation and their high
est ambition is to rally the whole nation
the working-clsss at its head-beneath the
democratic banner; for the Germans the
Socialist workman is an outcast, and the
alliance" with the nobility of the Herren-
haus is their pride. For the Czechs and sll
Slavs universal suffrage is matter OF
course; for the Germans it is still red
rag. But it is not a personal difference.
for the German citizen and peasant is no
less honest a man. But-and this is the
saddest of all-the national policy OF the
Czechs involves democracy, whereas that Of.
the Germans involves privilege. The Ger
man middle-class, if it wants to be national.
must act in an anti democratic sense; or, il
it acts in democratic sense, it is anti
national. 1t is conflict with itself, for the
nation which is not democratic robs itself
of the possibilities of development. 1t IS
astonishing that the German bourgeosie
is not conscious of the poverty of its ma
tional policy Reaction flows from
its very pores.

Austria After
The War

The state has IN war power winch 1t
cannot maintain in peace. At present it can
repress every expression of criticism, of dis
content, Of indignation; it can suppress
newspapers and forbid meetings; it can give
the order to fire without this being found
out; and all this it has done widely enough.
What good has this done? Political perse-
cution is to the prosecuted nation only one
more proof of the wrong done to it; "trea-
son" breeds persecution, and persecution
lack of patriotism. Even in the great
tonal state, anti-state, irredentist trea-
sonable sentiments-even in q comparative
ly small. mnorty-arouse great difficulties
(the Poles in Germany. How, then, are we
to picture the existence of the "nationai-
ties state,' to which the overwhelming
jority of it's nations is bitterly hostile? A
state which the majority of its citizens de-
nies could not survive in ordinary times,
just as the monarchical state-form has no
where survived where the majority of citi-
zens has lost belief in it's usefulness and
necessity. But how is a state to live after
the war, and to be in condition to cope
with mmeasurable tasks such as will need
all possible co0peration if the majority of
it's population simply will have none of it?
1t is true that the "nntonalites state can
not do without the Germans but it is no
less true that the hostility Of the Slavs
would bring it to ruin
We see all the nations of Europe filled
with the strong desire to rise to that state
of feeling which is only guaranteed by
definite measure Of independence. Not even
the smallest nation has been left untouched
by this general striving; nations which were
believed to be dead and buried are arising
and breaking open the vaults in which they
lay and demanding their rights. And this
resurrection and liberation Of the captive
nations is above all the work of the Ger
mans. The Entente certainly does not fail
to express her prejudiced interest in the
liberation Of the non-German nations of
Austria and the non-Magyar nations of
Hungary; but the German sword is raging
through the world, breaking old connec-
tions and making way for new ones. The
Germans have founded the new Ukrainian
State and have given military support to
the new Finland; they have promised indie
pendence to Poland, and already granted it
to Lithuania and Courand. they are pre-
pairing to stand godfather to the brand new
Republic of Georgia; they are coquetting
with independent Flemish State very
many new states are now being founded in

Through Any Mist
Wilson

There are thoae who still do not know
what the war is about and who find in
President Wilson'S Metropolitan Opera
House speech last Friday a kind of chal-
onrc to some myth Of imperialism which
hey believe to linger in the minds Of
Allied statesmen. One writer of that
oias says it was intended to purge" the
Entente cause Of everything remotely re-
ecmbling Imperialism
Then there are those who. knowing
deeply what the war is about, distrust
ali intellectual attitudes. These have
oeen writing us letters. calling our at
tention to what the others say about the
Presidents speech and asking if it is
really susceptible of the Interpretation
they put upon it.
We refer their doubts to that part of
the speech in which the President seems
TO have anticipated the attempt to read
into it things he neither means nor said.
Having defined the elements Of durable
peace, he said:
Il have made this analysis of the inter
created not, of course, because | doubted
whether the leaders of the great nations
and peoples with whom we are asso-
ciated were of the same mind and enter
tanned like purpose, but because the air
every now and again gets dnrkened by
nists and groundless doubtings and mis-
cmevous perversions of counsel
And before that he had said of those
who forced the war upon us:
We cannot come to terms with
them. We do not think the same
thoughts or speak the same language of
agreement"
Anyhow, let us be not too much con-
cerned with words. The time is for do
ing. Events are dynamic The Presi-
dents immediate rejection of the Aus
trian peace proposal was an act of great
daring. Its implications have not been
misunderstood by our enemies-witness
Bulgaria. When Germany wants peace
she can have it by laying down her arms
uncondtionally. We undertake to man
age all the subsequent problems and to
bring to bear upon them such intellect as
we possess, together with moral sense
in which the German mind is unable to
participate
War itself is not an intellectual busi-
ness. Victory is an achievement of faith.
What immediately and wonderfully con-
Germs us is that for seventy-four con-
Secutive days the elements of force have
prevailed for the right, more or less each
day, without interruption. 1t is the only
language we have with Germany And
President Wilson speaks it.

Tn the portrayal of subtle roles there are few actresses in motion pictures better qualified for this line of en- deavor than Elsie Ferguson, the pop ular Aircraft star, who will be seen here the last half of the week in a splendid picturization of Henrik h. sens famous psychological play, A Dolls House. In this photoplay Miss Ferguson appears as a beautiful doil wife. absolutely without initiative and whose character has been formed in the environment of home where she has been reared in a highly impracti cal manner. The gradual development of the child wife into a strong, re- sourceful woman is the basis of an ex ceedingly interesting psychological study. of which Miss Feaguson's abun- dant dramatic talent make the most. This is a picture which once seen. will never be forgotten.
 The other feature on this bill is Roy Stewart the popular western actor, in Faith Enduring. a tive-part Triangle play. showing the wonderful affection of two cowboy pals who will sacrifice anything for each other. Current Events with the latest scenes from "over there" completes the show.
