GERMAN MACHINE SEES DEFEAT
POLITICS CAN HELP SMASH IT
Notable British Writer Says Allies Should Keep Driving
Home Their Peace Terms So the German Proletariat
May Become Familiar With It and Be Ready at
Proper Time to Throw Off Kaiserism
By ARNOLD BENNETT.
oNDoN, Eng. FEB. g.

T ONDON. Eng Feb. 'e.-The pros
poets Of peace depend on the
military and economic situation
Of Germany far more than on any
thing else. The allies will not-and
what Is more. the allies cannot
agree TO any peace which would not
be fatal to the prestige Of the Ger
mans general staff in Germany,
and fatal to the rule OF the German
military caste. Miracles do not hap
pen and it would be a miracle II the
German military caste agreed to any
such peace so long as they could %
supply their proletariat with suffi-
Gent food TO keep It quiet, ~ con-
vince their plutocrats that the latter
had more 20 lose by making the
peace than by continuing the fight
and 90 find sufficient reserves TO
keep up the strength Of the armies.
The German general staff can have
no hope Of victory. The German
armies have never in this war beaten
an army which wanted 10 fight and
had the material to fight with. On the
contrary. they have again and again
been held UP by armies inferior to
themselves, and have again and again
10 themselves They have never had
success except against armies that
we're either disaffected, or short of
food or ammunition, or both. Had II
not been for the Russian revolution,
Germany would inevitably have been
defeated by this time, without the
military aid Of America Even now
that Russia has withdrawn, the re-
naming allied armies are still, in
spite Of horribly bad luck, superior
10 the armies Of the central powers,
and the superiority Is rapidly grow
ing. All that can be said OF the
Germans in the military sense is that
she has tenacity. She is hanging on.
and the period OF her hanging on will
be limited by her economic resources
and her reserves OF human cannon
fodder. No German press propaganda
can alter these facts.
The German Machine.
AS 10 her economic situation, We
s,re very incompletely informed But
we do know beyond any doubt that
i-le sufferngs of the prOletariat are
acute. and that many millions Of hu-

that the influence OF the minority /

had charge or partial charge OF the
Russian destiny since the revolution

most awful kind. difficulties not of

The Russian Detection.
The various Russian leaders in the
immense and prolonged crisis have
undoubtedly made mistakes, and bod
ones. One can understand the resent
ment Of our army in face of the Rus
sian detection. But it has to be re-
remembered that the leaders have
not broken the word of the detested
autoeracy, which, by the way. was
on the eve Of doing the same thing

Siberia The Russian armies can
scarcely fight again. They cannot

may be argued There is more to

To conclude Our peace terms have
been stated, and with all their imper-

A chemical laboratory, compretely equipped with retorts, test-tubes and other necessary parphernalia, is shown in 'The Greatest Power" :" the Metro wartime drama of patri- otism starring Ethel Barrymore, to be seen at the Coliseum theatre on Tuesday evening. Miss Barrymore as Miriam Monroe is a student of chemistry, and has discovered that eXonite will cure cancer. John Con rad uses exonite as the basis of his new high explosive, and the two work together on the manufacture of it, with the aid of the old chem ist, Prof Poole.
 During the production of this Metro wonderplay, two of the lead ing players, William E. Davidson
 and Harry S. Northrup, sustained severe injuries while engaged in a
 'camera fight" in the laboratory scene. As Northrup, in the char-
 acter of an enemy spy, grappled
 with Davidson, playing the chemist
 whose formula he was trying to ! steal. glass retort fell to the floor, lad Northrup's hand was severely
 cut in the struggle. Davidson's nose
 was injured. Both men, however declared that they would go through he same thing any time in the in | terests of a good scene.

 The blacksmith saves Sir Percy from the mob and delivers him to l the arm of the law, but in doing so

Coast International League
CINCINNATI NATIONALS

With two exceptions the Cincin- natl Nationals will include in their lineup during the 1918 season, prac- tically the same names that graced their roster last year. Toney, their star pitcher, will probably not be with them owing to the draft; Kopf tbeor regular shortstop, has entered the army, while young pitcher Edward Gerner, will likewise be missed, having entered the service of the U. s. Both Kopf and GerneI are recorded voluntary retirement on the Cincinnati Club books.
 But even with these players out the lineup will look not unlike that of last year. As a lead off, Heine Groh will be found in his old place at third base while Earle Neale, the left fielder, will be second in the batting order. Then will come Ed dite Roush, champion hitter of the National League, who plays center field and the fourth man will be Hal Chase, the guardian of the initia

 Then Carmelita wakes up and finds that it has all been terrific and terrifying dream. Just before she went to sleep, the bandit had actually come to her house, and she had dreamt of him.
 She wakes however, to find a real band of American troops clos ing in on the hut, where Leopolodo is hidden. The outlaw is captured. And Pepo returns to happiness for both himself and Carmelita.

Three men with but a single thought furnish the fun and ac- tion of the newest William Fox photoplay Betrayed" directed by R. A. Walsh. Their single thought is to get married ,and they all want the same girl, who is none other than Miriam Cooper herself.
 Miss Cooper, for the purpose of the picture, is Carmelita Carrito, who is just as Mexican as she sounds. She casts aside her first lover, Pepo Esparenza (Monte Blue) in favor of a bandit, Leopold Juarez (Hobart Bosworth).
 Then the American army officer, William Jerome (Wheeler Oakman) arrives, and Carmelita immediately forgets the bandit. She arranges for the American to kill the outlaw he had come into Mexico for that

In addition to George Foster, secured from the Boston Americans, Pete Schneider, Reuther, Ellar, Bressler and Mike Began have all shown good form at the southern training camp while Jacobus is also likely young ster, Conley is another pitcher, but it is probable that he will have en- tered the service of Uncle Sam be fore the season progresses very far

Be True to Thown Own Self" Is Moral of "The


 Self" Is Moral of "The Soul of a Magdalen."
 The importance of being true to ones self is the great lesson aught in "The Soul of Magdalen," the Metro-Popular Plays and Players production starring Mme. Petrova, which will be seen at the Coliseum tonight for the last time. Because she was not true to her own highest nature Heloise Broulette brought suffering and infinite pain to those she loved and was baffled in her efforts to aid them.
 In remarkable way the story shows that human beings are bound to each other by an indissoluble tie and that an injury to one is an injury to all. It illustrates the force of Shakespeare's immortal words. 'This above all, to thine own self
 be true,
 And it shall follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any
 man. Because Heloise Broulette was false to herself in accepting the bounty of Leland Norton for the purpose of aiding those she loved, her sacrifice was of no avail, break ing her mothers heart and failing to save the life of her invalid broth CT.
