Now it is reported that one factor contribut-
ing to the German governments eagerness to
conclude peace at almost any sacrifice IS fear
of the rise of bolshevisrn in Germany. If the
world may judge from the war, the German
boIshevist would be a savage type and the fate
that may await that unhappy nation at the
hands of its righteously angry foes would be
more easily borne than the cruel anarchy OF
bolshevism let loose upon a stricken people.
The German government may well fear the
wrath Of its people and Of an anarchist revolt
when once the military autocracy loses its grip.
High officials in Berlin say that the world IS
'prejudiced" against Germany. One OF these
days the kaiser's satraps will wake up to the
fact that the world is not only prejudiced but
ipeeved.
