armistice, until an agreement shall be ar
rived at regarding the line of demarea-
tien, the tracing of which through the
three depasomaES has been reserved for
an Interior understanding"
Add to this that the Paris forts were
to be garrisoned by the Germans and that
the defenders Of Paris, so far from being
allowed to march out with the honors of
war, were to be made prisoners Of war
within the city, with the exception only
of body to act as pohce-not half
enough, by the way, to stem the rising tide
of disaffection in the National Guard and
among the Red Republicans-and we can
not help but picture Bismarck smiling
like the cat that ate the canary.
Three corps of the Army of the Loire
had been put under Bourbaki, and with
other forces under him his command was
named livery inappropriately) the First
Army Of the Loire, to distinguish it from
the other Army Of the Loire. Gambetta
had sent Bourbaki-a man of Greek orr
gin, good corps commander, but untitled
for supreme authority-eastward, an
nouncing that Bourbah would raise the
siege Of Belfort and invade Germany.
So much Favre knew. Bourbah had
$4,000 men and 800 guns. Gen. Werder,
the Prussian commander, had some A, 900
men. The French negotiators naturally
had great hopes.
But Bismarck. knew Bourbah was
trapped and beaten. he spoke for an
army, for the General Staff.
For, no doubt foreseeing the armistice
and being pretty well able to forecast its
terms, Field Marshal Won Moltke had
Withdrawn an important part Of his forces
before Paris and sent them under Gen.
Franseeky to put an end to Bourbaki.
Bourbah encountered Gen. Werder
when the former attempted to march on
Belfort and battle ensued with heavy

those 1928 miles of Canadian Pa
cfic traeksge, and there are millions of
people having Transactions with the com
pany. From those transactions arise
many problems for the company's legal
guardians. Even a small matter may be-
come a very expensive and undesirable
precedent. Unceasing vigilance is needed
to prevent encroachments and raids on
the company's treasury. r..
The Canadian Pacific is not Govern
ment owned or controlled road, and yet it
has a wonderful record in making num-
tipns, the profits of which have been
given to patriotic and relief funds, and in
Transporting hundreds of thousands of
soldiers and thousands OF tons of NUM-
tions across land and sea.

losses on both sides. But the French,
badly provisioned, actually without food
for two days, were unable TO attack with
the necessary vigor and Bourbaki retired.
Then Fransecky fell upon him and
BourbaH lost 12y00e captured besides a
train of more than 200 baggage wagons.
The General, who had been betrayed in
all innocence by the negotiators at Paris,
attempted to commit suicide but was dis
suaded. Eventually he was forced with
most Of his army across the Swiss from
tier, where perforce they were interned.
Belfort fell in February.
Thus Bismarck attained his end, which
was to hold Belfort, so to speak, for ran
som by other territorial concessions.
Furthermore he had enabled the German
High Command to dispose effectually of
Frances most formidable remaining
threat.
France Lacked Heart to Go On.
France was heartbroken. A Napoleon
l. might have gone on, historians since
have asserted, for there was ample man
power to be drawn upon and the ordnance
factories we're turning out arms at a great
rate with the necessary ammunition. All
France lacked was the heart and the Cor
sican-whieh, after all, is another way Of
saying she lacked everything that really
mattered.
Remained only to elect the National As
sembly with which Bismarck was willing
to deal, and TO conclude a peace, if the
national plebiseite should vote peace.
As if there could be any doubt of that |!
Gabriel Hanotaux cites authority to show
that Prussian officers posted the lists of
candidates in many towns in occupied
territory. They ratified the sabre and
shook their fists. They supervised the
voting. The result was the election of an
Assembly composed largely Of doddering,
cowed old men.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-10-27

"A chamber of ghosts of people who
were thought to be dead long ago. said
one of the Red Republicans in a con-
temporaneous pamphlet. "This Assembly
ought to have had a grave digger for
doorkeeper"
Satisfied with the result of his work
and with the aspect of this timorous
gathering, Bismarck extended the arnis-
stice once, and again, announcing the last
time that any more delays would bring on
resumption Of the war. Thus driven
into corner, the preliminaries of peace
were signed February rs, peace nego-
tiated with a pistol at the victims head, a
twitchihg finger on the trigger.
Both the preliminary and the defnitive
treaty Of peace were profoundly in
fnenced by Prussian bullying and clever
ness; but that is another and better known
story.
What wonder the Commune broke out
as a sort of desperate protest? The
Germans cynically watched Frenchmen
killing one another. They stopped the re-
turn Of prisoners of war, which had been
agreed upon to take place at once, and
inns denied the Provisional Government
the use of trained and loyal troops Bis
marck used the Commune again when he
professed to believe it might triumph,
roiding the treaty, thus again putting the
screws on NJ. Theirs and his associates.
Moltke's Cold Comment.
"The Germans could have easily and
quickly put an end TO the matter" coldly
remarked Count voA Moltke in his me-
moirs. "But what Government would al
lows its rights to be established by for
eign bayonetsT
Instead he barred the gates of Paris
and shifted menaeingly the position of his
forces before the city Meanwhile Ger
man high officers in multi were slipping
In and ont of the city for their own pur-
poses. X
Perhaps there will be a Commune in
Berlin when the German people learn
the hard conditions of peace which will be
imposed upon their junker ridden Gov
eminent. And surely the Imperial Ger
man Government will not desire to see
order restored by foreign bayonets. It
is on record against such a procedure.
The difference between the end of this
war and the end of the Franco-Prussian
will be that we shall not in this peace
treaty build what NJ. Theirs described as
"One of those monuments of human
weakness which does not know how 10 stop
in success and which, perpetuating in
peace the passions of war, deposits fresh
germs of hostility even in the treaties
destined to bring If to an end
For was It not Bismarck himself who
brutally told Viscount de Gontaut-Biron,
Frances first envoy TO Berlin after the
war, that be knew full well he had no
business to take Alsace and Lorraine,
which were bound to be a source of troubls
to Germany? -.. ........ .
"lf this were permanent peace We
would not have done it," he went on. But
there was going to be another war, he
said, when Germany would need the stolea
provinces for strategic reasons.

Bismarck Plays Old Trick.


Probably this was one of the times
when be played his favorite trick-ex-
eused himself. from the conference on the
ground that this was a matter that ex-
ceeded his authority and that he must con-
suit the Emperor himself.
He never went any further than
nearby room, where he enjoyed one of his
famous cigars at leisure and thought out
q scheme.
Every we'll" he told Favre upon his
return. "His Majesty will not insist upon
the surrender of Belfort. But neither
will he consent to an arInistice In that
quarter. The truce shall not apply to
Belfort. Let them fight it out over there"
These were not his words, of course, but
the sense of them.
Wherpupon Jules Favre, still blind
folded, insisted upon what he thought was
perfect fairness, that if Gen. Werder was
to continue the siege of Belfort Gen. Bour-
baki must be allowed TO continue his OPP
erations in that region. Bismarck, with
q great show of reluctance, no doubt, con-
ceded the point. So the armistice, draw
ing line between the armies In the north
and west and establishing ten Hlometer
peutral zone between their outposts, ex-
presdy excepted the east Of France in
the following terms:
"The military operations in the terri
tory of the Departments of Doubs, Jura
and Cote dor, as well as the siege of Bel
fort, shall continue Independently Of the

and timely remarks oc. ir. They
should be read by every Bond
Holder:
at has been brought to my
attention that a large number
of patriotic citizens who sub
scribed to Liberty Loan Bonds
of both the first and second is
sue are icing approached from
time to time by Agents who
have, with too frequent sue
cess, induced them to sell their
Liberty Loan Bonds and take
in exchange securities which in
a number of cases have been
of a very questionable value.
81 therefore warn investors
in Liberty Loan Bonds against
exchange of these evidences Of
their patriotism for any secur-
tiles or so-called securities.
While some of the securities, or
so-called securities, offered in
exchange for Government Bonds
are of sound value, there is no
doubt that a large percentage
of them are worthless.
81 believe it is for the best
interests of the people at large,
as well as for their actual pro-
lection, that they disregard all
such offers and hold fast to the
best investment in the world,
that is, Bonds of their own
Government.
at is my earnest hope that
every purchaser of a Liberty
Bond will realize that the only
genuine help he gives his Gov
is by keeping his Bond
as an investment as long as it is
possible for him to do so. Where
because of misfortune or imper-
alive necessity, the holder of
Bond is forced to sell,
there can, of course, be no OBJ
lection"

A Big Tract Is Opened To
Entry Under $40 Law

Because they represent about
80 per cent of the population of
the Eleventh Federal Reserve
District, in which we live, and
it is impossible for the other
20 per cent Of the people to
carry the financial burden.
The farmer in this section
who has done reasonably well
last season has indeed double
duty to perform. He has to
do his full share towards pro
tecting his business, his home,
and his Country, and he has, as
a generous open-hearted, broad
minded .Southerner to help
make up for the probable lack
of over-subscription in the
drouth-stricken Counties of
West and South Texas.
The people of the West and
South Of Texas will do their
share-of that there is no ques.
ton. They will raise their as
signed portion of the Loan, he-
cause it is their duty, but we
cannot hope for a large over
subscription from them.
An over-subscription from the
Eleventh Federal District is
called for. On the occasion of
the Second Liberty Loan we
raised but a little more than we
were forced to. Other Dis.
tricts raised Is per cent and so
per cent more than the Govern
ment demanded of them. Such
a grudging response is unwor-
thy of us and we must improve
upon it. Shall it be said that
we men who live upon the rich
soil Of Louisiana, who inhabit
the great producing State of
Texas, the progressive State of
New Mexico, who wrest the
wealth from the ground of Ari-
iona, or who have opened up
the great possibilities of Okla
homa, possess less patriotism
than our neighbors? 1t is I'M
thinkable!
We have a big task ahead,
but we will meet it. Let us plan,
and look ahead, and let us start
doing it right now, in order
that this great old South West
may shine as a bright star in
the armament of patriotism
when our Country calls.
