Two Opposing Elements.
There are two sharply opposins 8
elements that are today very gravely
threatening the success Of the peace

and fragrant efforts Of the Germans
TO stimulate pity for crushed ma
ton in the United States, France,
Japan and in South America in the
expectation that such sympathy can
be capitalized at the peace table.
This propaganda is OF the most
insi6ious sort. The suggestion spread
throughout the world. that unless

threats which Germany has made

pointed out today.
Typical German Threat.
The intimation Is that there is
danger for France and Italy and
even Great Britain In the red"
movement in Germany. This Is bit
