LONDON. England. December T.
Information of the highest credibility
direct from militarist circles in Ber-
lin. warrants the statement that the
Germans are not without hope OF
winning the war yet. Preposterous
though this hope may seem. it springs
from we'll considered plans and pos
sibilities. These plans are propagan-
dist and these possibilities are con-
'nected with the course Of the de-
yelopments at the peace conference.
-. Trying to Divide Allies.
.Prussian junkerdom is endeavoring
with renewed energy not only to di-
vide the allies and America, but to
involve them in war with each other.
Even the pro-German influence that
operated. openly or covertly, in Amer
ica has taken the field again. Every
mouth that uttered sentiments and
alleged facts calculated to promote
German interests once more is vocal.
All the underground mechanism OF
German propaganda is running. Ger
man agents. some consciously and
many unconsciously, are playing the
German game. Not few of them are
in London now. Quite a company Of
them will be in Paris and Versailles
during the peace conference.
Their trump cards are allegations
designed to influence American opin-
ion against Great Britain. and repre-
sensations of American policy touch
ing the sea calculated to make Britons
believe that America is their enemy.

WASHINGTON women
TO CHEER WAR GIRLS
Asked to Cooperate in Making
Capital Boosters" Of Workers
Temporarily Here.

The women Of Washington gener-
ally are to be asked to cooperate in
a plan for relieving, in some meas
ure, the lonely state of many of the
girls from various parts of the coun-
try now working in the National
Capital. Originating and directing
this scheme is the War Camp Com
munity Service, which has done SO
much along similar lines for SOL
diers and sailors. It apparently takes
the view that Washington is truly
war camp and these woman war
workers are equivalent to soldiers,
with the necessity of sustaining
their morale fully as great.
Many organizations and groups. it
is pointed out, are already doing
splendid and effective work for these
newcomers. A. special committee

as possible, as individuals, such

tations to lunch, to tea and to din

"The Other Angle"
Now comes the other angle, and it
is an important one. The women Of
Washington who Hospitality cooper
ate not only benefit the girls and
themselves and the country gener-
ally, but the National Capital in par
ticular. Workers here represent
every state in the Union, and there
is at hand a special opportunity to
interest these girls in their own Capt.
tai city and to create thus spirit
of cooperation and of sympathy be-

in the relaxation of vigilance among
the allies and in the United States.
They view with ecstaey the cessation
OF the organized effort to maintain
the unity Of the allied and American
front. The moderated editorial opin-
Is welcomed by them with joy, as
tending to smooth the way for their
final great struggle to snatch victory
from disaster.
They believe that there is only one

II It Is at all possible. These persons
are convinced that II the allies and
America, could be embroiled in a serf-
Gus quarrel there would be a splendid
promise Of a military revival in Ger
many.
Quarrel Would Be Signal.
Any such quarrel would be a signal
for grand push" in the fatherland
to bring back the kaiser. rehabilitate
the army and reassert absolutely the
ascendancy of the Hobo 1o1Iern
criminals. Internally nothing cohe-
sive or powerful stands in their way.
Little else than civil chaos and mill
tary importance would require sweep
ing away.
It is far from wise to pooh pooh
this danger. President Wilson's al
legged aggressive intentions in the
direction of reducing naval ornaments
intentions probably entirely re-
mote from his mind-have produced
widespread uneasiness in Britain and
filled many minds with Indignation.
Indignant peoples never are reason
able. Britain holds to her navy as she
holds to her life. Any purpose on the
part of any one to cripple her sea arm
would be regarded by her in the light of
deadly hostility. Such purpose ema-
mating from America, in view of what
British maritime power has meant for
freedom in this war, would be resented
with extreme amazement and exaspera-
ton.
Should Proclaim Real Aims.
President Wilson'S real aims should be
proclaimed without delay. Cheap Jack
are speaking for him.
I am sure they grotesquely misrepre-
sent his motives, but their assertions
are published in Europe and are like
matches in a powder factory. They ex-
cite glad emotiors only in the father
land. They play the German game more
effectively than it has ever been played
before. .
If President Wilson insists upon MAIN
tanning what is interpreted as sinister
silence on this subject the American
people should find some way quickly to
make their opinion known in an I'M
mistakable manner. :. .s

Great Britain will be published regu-
larly hereafter, 1T was announced in
the house of common@ by Sir Eric
Campbell Geddes, the first lord of the
admiralty, in the course Of debate on
the navy shipbuilding bill. The
amount of tonnage sunk in the last II
months was 100000, said Sir Eric,
instead of 100000, as the Germans
claim. Worlds tonnage exclusive of
enemy ships had fallen 100000 from
the beginning of the war 20 the end of
1917, Sir Eric said. The total of al
lies and neutral tonnage is now A.
100000, Sir Eric stated, the fact that
it is at this figure being largely due
to the new construction by the United
States and the seizure of German
ships During the last quarter of 1917,
said Sir Eric, the allies were averag-
ing within 100000 tons monthly of
making their losses good and were
then replacing rs per cent of their lost
tonnage.
