rope, after terrible defeats and even in
vasions. Germany hopes now to make
peace on the basis of things as they
were in 1914, while keeping alive the
possibility of profiting from the destruc-
ton of Russia. But this means nothing
more nor less than that Germany will
consent to abandon now what she feels
that she cannot accomplish in the pres
ent war, and that she will begin on the
morrow Of peace to prepare new at
tack upon civilization. building on the
same foundations on which she built in
the years before the present struggle.
There is no middle ground for COM
promise between the world and the Ger
man: not to break his military power or
compel him to surrender Is to consent
to the continued existence Of his mill
tary machine: is to leave open for the
future all the old avenues of attack
upon democracy. Victory is not and
will not be geographical. Frederick the
Great lost Berlin, but won his war and
retained Silesia. Victory is not COM
parative; it is in the nature Of things
absolute. The destruction Of German
militarism Is the destruction Of the Ger
man Army. whether by defeat on the
battlefield or by even more ignominious
surrender in advance Of the final blow.
Looked at calmly. our successes since
July ls are only degree more impress
sive than those of Ludendorf before
that date. We have not yet progressed
as far north of the Hfndenburg line as
the German got south of it in the spring.

we have taken 100000 prisoners and
$500 guns. He has BELGIUM behind him

and the Rhine. He arrived within forty
miles OF Paris: we are not yet as near as
that to Brussels. He has lost a cam
paign. but we have Host the campaigns
OF 1915 1916 and 1917. Bulgaria has
quit him. but Russia quit us. Turkey is
falling. but Belgium, Serbia and Ru-
mania fell and still we endured.

Now, the moral factor, cannot be es-
timated and cannot be exaggerated in

morally conquered. but there is yet
no sign of it. He is fighting doggedly.
determinedly. and his defense is not a
shade weaker than our defense be-
tween March 81 and July Is. He is
fighting, not with the idea of victory
in his head, but with q growing con-
seriousness of what absolute defeat
means. He sees about him the ruins of
Belgian and French cities and prov
inces; he knows that the same ruin
or the price of the ruin must be found
in Germany. His courage may depart
or a wild and agonized determination
to avert impending national ruin may
fire him to still more determined re-
sistance.

we could not make 1t and had to come

This Belgian had escaped by hiding

and rubbish. He had chewed old hides
for food, had swan across the river,
and hid in a mud bank for almost a
week longer, and finally got to France.
He took it very hard when we talked
about Dixmude, and told him that
the old church was just shot to pieces.
He asked about a painting called the
Alteration of the MagI," and one of
the other prisoners told us 1t had been
saved and transported to Germany. If
that is true, and they do not destroy

He was given the same treatment as
