All Straws Bend
In Pacihst Wind

When "the Reichstag will energet-
lcally promote the creation of interna-
tional legal organizations" it meets an
old paciticst demand, just as whom it ap-
proved the declaration of Count Hert-
ling regarding the right Of self-deter-
mlnation for peoples. The German reply
to the Popes note went still further
IN declaring itself unconditionally in
favor OF international arbitration
courts and the limitation of arma-
merts by treaty; and these are to-day
the most important practical demands
of pacilicism. Are not the speeches
paciiicist which were delivered by
Count C~ernin, the Austro- Hungarian
Foreign Minister. and by Foreign Sec
rotary Won Kuehlmann in the Rcichs-
tag? Those speeches received the heart
lest applause from many politicians
who even to-day would reject with in
dignation the charge that they are
paciticists. This all shows how dif-
iicult it is to profess what we at one
time regarded as anathema. am my
self in the agreeable position Of not
having needed The war to change my
views.
Every great idea has>to pass through
three stages. In the first stage it is
ridiculous and does not deserve atten-
ton. In the second it becomes danger
Gus and must be opposed with all en-
crgy. In the third it becomes self
evident and people are unable to COM
prehcnd why they once opposed It. The
idea of the peace movement is now
passing from the second into the third
stage 1t is slready so victorious that
its opponents shink that their only re-
naming method for opposing it is to
drop into the most passionate fanat-
icsm, to calumniatc, insult and cast
odium upon its supporters. The strug-
gle Of such opponents is a hopeless one;
hence their imDotent rage expresses

Old Rivalry Of Power
No Longer Possible

Whoever does not believe in the
power Of this idea, whoever is acces-
sible only to cold, mathematical CAL
citations, cannot ignore the fact
when he calmly considers the matter
that it is no longer possible for peoples
and states in future to base their rela-
tons to each other upon the old rivalry
of power. Quite apart from the fact
that the old adage, Isl Wis pacem, para
bcllum," has been just as thoroughly
modern theory that expenditures for
armaments arc an insurance premium
against war, the bclligercnt states arc
now quite unable--after the frighttul
economic, financial and vital sacrifices
of this war-to resume once more their
competition in armaments. For such q
competition, f it is to have any pur-
pose at all after the experiences OF this
war, would have to be continued on "a
scale quite different from before the
war.
Considering the fact that every
month of the war is now costing US
$3.50 900, 900, what could we do with the
$43o, 100000 a year that our military
establishment was costing US before
the war: What do the petty artillery,
the few aeroplanes, the stock of muni-
tions and general equipment Of that
time what do they signify as com
pared with what this war is swallowing
up? And the position Of the other
states is not one whit better. Eng
New-York tribune., 1918-01-27

tinue the war is nourished to-day only
by putting forth the suggestion that
the German peace demonstrations are
rot honestly meant-they are only
trap, and even il the peace-wi!l Of the
German people be accepted ct its face
value their will does not count, nor
that Of their representative, the Ger
man Reichstag.
German Policy
Still irresponsible
The policy Of Germany. it is said, is
dictated from irresponsible quarters. /.
must be admitted that grounds were
too long given for that opinion, and
that the manner in which Chancellor
Michaelis was nominated, together with
his vacillating and ambiguous pro-
nouncements on the peace resolution OF
the reason. seemed to Justify it. But
the manner in which the last change in
the Chancellorship was ACCOMPLISHED,
the speech of Count HeYtliug and the
approving declarations Of the majority
parties have cleared up the situation
in way to satisfy everybody who is
at all willing to recognize the truth.
Even in England the light begins TO
break. When the English Trades Union
Congress declares by a majority Of
ten-elevenths for complete economic
peace after the war they show that
the great masses of the English work
ingmen favor the principles of pacif-
cism. And when the leader OF the
Tories in the upper house, Lord I.ans-
oowne, man who was repeatedly Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, declares him
self in his letter to the "Daily Telc-
graph" in favor not only of an early
peace, but Of International arrange
ments for obviating future conflicts
through peaceable means, we have The
proof that the peace idea is entering
the minds Of hard-headed politicians of
the penning-in era.
The atmosphere favorable to peace,
which the Reichstag's peace resolution
was designed to create, is spreading
more and more. The more unsatisfac-
tory be the termination of this war for
all the beliigcrcnts the more effectively
it will hammer into the minds Of men
the doctrine that war itself is q false
calculation and that an international
peace organization must be substituted
for the ultima ratio regnum.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-27
Militarism Dying
In All Countries

1t is therefore unnecessary for Lloyd
George and his friends to continue the
war in order TO kill militaris1n; it is
dying in this war in Germany just as in
Russia, in Austria-Nungary, just as in
France, in Italy and in England, where,
before the war, it was called marinism
And Lloyd George should say to him
self that the longer the war lasts all
the more thoroughly will be ruined not
only English marinism. but also Eng
lands economic position.
Karl Mathy once said OF the German
people that they come back more rap
idly than other peoples out Of state
Of excitement to calm, we'll considered
reasoning. 1t was this quality, and not
fit Of weakness and despair, that
moved the German people and the
Reichstae to take up the peace idea,
clearly recognizing the fac. that after
this war there will be absolutely no
other way open but TO establish the re-
lations Of the nations upon the basis of
ton, rather than upon the rivalry OF
power. Such is their WILL will die
tatcd by considerations appealing to
the understanding; it is the will OF the
strong man who, conscious Of his
strength, practices moderation. That
we are strong We have shown our
selves, since the Rcichstag resolution
was passed, by our otTensivcs in
Galicia. i'll Livonia, on the island of
Oesel and in Italy. And in spite oi
those victorious offensives--wh which, Of
course, were not possible without with
drawing forces from the West front
we were still able on that front to bid
defiance TO the frightful onset of an
enemy superior in numbers.

Persecution Key to
Spread of Peace Idea -.

Now, the fact is not to be ignored
tlat~-apart from Russi:l. where. under
stress OF frightful necessity, the So
cialists OF all degrees show will to
make pesce-such a will does not vet
exist with the governments of our
other enemies. Through the fanatical
persecution Of the pacifists and the
suppression OF their newspapers the
rulers Of those countries are trying
to hinder the real enlightenment Of
their peoples. But the peace idea is on
the march even among them, otherwise
they would not persecute it to such
an extent.
Those rulers still hope that the mill
tary situation will change to their ad-
vantage through Americas entrance
into the war and thus relieve them to
some extent. in the eyes of their peo-
Piles. of their responsibility for pro-
longing this horrible numbering. Ii
this hope OF theirs should prove iliu-
sorry, then the peace idea, for which
they ostensib!y must continue the war

Two Ships Commanded
By Nice-Admiral

The Importance Of the role that
these two ships were to play was
further emphasized by the rank Of the
commander in chief, which, for one
battle-cruiser and small cruiser, was
that Of yce-aduliral.
Admiral Suchon was of French cx
traction and married to an Italian. He
possessed good reputation with En-
table corsair, and had a thorough
knowledge Of the Dardanelles and the
tactics Of the Young Turk party.
At the time Of the Serajevo murder,
June %. 1914, the Goebcn was poking
around the Syrian coast. The Brcslau
was III Durazzo watching the Albanian
developments. At that time her crew
vas on such friendly terms with the
crew OF the British cruiser Gloucester,
also at Durazzo, that cap ribbons were
exchanged during their games. We
shall soon find a change in the rela-
tonship of the two crews.
Suddenly the Goeben was recalled
to Pola. After few weeks stay there
sue put out to sea. 1t !as singular
TACT that on August ] the Coebcn and
the Breslau and the General. large
steamer of the East African Steamship
Company, all happened to rendezvous
at Messina to take supplies from auxll-
laries that were there to meet them.
1t has been said that the supplies even
Included a provision of Turkish fezes.
Departure under sealoG orders" was
taken from Mcssina at ! a. m. after a
stay Of but six hours.
The Germans received, while at SEQ,
news of the first declaration o. war
against France at 6 p. m., August j,
While the French did not hear OF it
until 10 y. n. the same evening.
The French Mediterranean fleet ha |
modified at Toulon, while the two Ger
man ships were at large. The British
had at that time two battlc-cruisers
outside Messina, four cruisers ard q
dozen destroycrs between Sicily and
lunls and three cruisers at Malta.
While still at sea there came unex-
pectedly to the German admiral, soon
after the war was declared, the order
10 proceed Immediately to Constanti-
hople. But the admiral had planned
otherwise. The first morning of the
var was to be celebrated by an often
slve against enemy territory. More
over, it would be best to deceive his
pursucrs as much as possible as TO his
ultimate destination. So he made all
speed for the Algerian coast, where he
arrived just few hours in advance Of
Inc French fleet. Two cities, Bona and
1a'!!lpeyille, were hastily bombarded

lands monthly war costs are already
$780, 900, and those Of France not
much less than our own. Those of
Eussia cannot even be estimated, in
view Of the depreciation Of the rublc.
The greatest military power before
the var was Russia. The Suhhomlinof
trial clearly revealed the fact that the
Russian military power was agitated
systematically and successfully for war.
Russia. however, has been 80 hard hit
by the war (there would have been a
most frightful catastrophe there this
winter but for the armistice) that it
will not be able for a long time to re-
sumo its armaments on their old scale,
let alone the new scale. What country
will in future have money to lend to
Russia for armament purposes? France
herself is confronting bankruptcy, and
it will take even England some decades
TO put its finances again into order. The
United States. since its entry into the
war, is c5pcnding the enormous capital
that it had previously made out Of it.
The Price of
Militarism
We. too, are quite unable to continue
the race for armament. The $24 900,
100000 of debt which the war has cost
US will demand, for interest and amorti-
cation. at least $1,430 ,o0o,O0 a year.
In addition to that sum there will be
required some s75o.O0o,o00 to $s25 5,ooo,-
600 year in pensions for crippled SOL
diers and the dependents Of those killed,
besides some $125, 100000 to $3.50, ,0O0,-
900 n year for restoration work; for
the longer the war lasts the greater
the outwear and destruction. Here we
have total of about $2,4O0, 100000. To
this we should nave to add for anna
| ments-if we should enter into the
race of armaments again on a scale
that would have any purpose-ab0ut
| half Of that sum, say. 81 200, 600 600
And these frightful burdens would have
to be borne By people already weak
encd through the loss of millions in
killed and wounded. After the concln.
sion of peace we shall .mperatively
need men, just as our enemies will
for rebuilding our economic system on
a peace basis. All the belligcrents
states without exception will then be
unable to put millions Of their citizens
into army and navy or employ them
otherwise for military ends.

II anyone came to meet Mary
Thomas at the train he kept out Of

AS long as / stayed with her, she
could not deliver her message. Our
rooms In the grand new Victory were

clusively for women who travel alone.
White-haired and keen-eyed matrons

and l asked that the door between
them be left open. Mary couldn't
guess that this was not for ~sociability
only that I might know IL she were
called on the phone.
But by tying myself to Mary, I was
h~azarding my own chance TO carry
out my instructions. And 1 had little
time TO waste In planning victory for
myself and defeat for Mary.
At breakfast l found that she had
an important engagement at Q p. m.
I explained that my own could wait.
and as the day was SO lovely, 1 sug-
gested that we take an auto out Riv-

Mary thought the trip would be
lovely. so did I--if / could only
manage to lose her somewhere and
get back to the Victory alone for at
ternoo tea.
So away we went and we were well
up In the woods when we decided to
walk for a while. The chauffeur in

Inn half a mile farther on where we
could lunch. We told him to meet
US there. and throwing our bags into
the car, we climbed up the steep
bank to cut some clusters of gorgeous
bittersweet berries. Then as we
tramped along hat lovely wild road
