CANNOT STAND REVERSES.

Among men one meets these days the belief is growing that the end of the war is already in sight There is a surprising number of level-headed citizens who are firmly convinced in their own minds that the peace confer enCc is not even as far distant as the next holiday season. And they inyar- iably base their belief on the assump tion that the German is a fair-weathcr fighter and that he hasn't the stam- ina to stand up under repeated re verses
 Such conclusions are purely spec ulatiye. of course, and derived from the process of making the wish father to the thought. and yet they are not altogether fanciful Your average German is credulous as child in certain respects. and thick headed to boot. His naive mind has been much like plastic clay in the hands of his military masters. They moulded his ideas in line with their own nefar ious designs, but they never over looked the necessity of painting the future in the most glowing colors. The miserable creature who was forced to do their bidding was per mitted to gaze upon the grandoise scheme of world dominion only through cOlored glasses, and under the old order of things it was not given him to reason for himself or inquire into the practicability of the tremen- dous enterprise. By skillfully man ipulating the prism they so managed to distort his vision that he could see nothing but rainbows in the sky.
 So it was for forty years in the Ger man empire and so it has been during ;hr four long years of war. No"
