 ''At Last the Right Beginning of the War is the heading of a promi- nent article in the ."Rheinisch-West- falische Zeitung'' the notorious organ of Messrs. Krupp and the steel kings It is a remarkably faithful expression of the spirit which now dominates not 0nry the extreme Nationalists and Pan-Germans, but also large sections of what was once regarded as mode rate opinion, the opinion which SUD- ported the Reichstag majority of last July, and when the military situation appeared less favorable than at pres ent. After an allusion to Austria Hungary, couched in no very friendly spirit, the writer proceeds:
 After all, that which Germany has won is very modest gain, far too little to be regarded as compensation for that which she has lost. When we number the dead and the millions which we have lost, we are faced with the question: Can Lithuania Courland, Sc, indemnify us for the losses which the future will show we have incurred? And after all, what do we know for certain about these new lands? Is it certain that we shall be able to settle our surplus pop ulation there? Is it certain that these lands will contribute to feed us?
 If it be true that the new lands will help us to eke out our food supplies it can only be for a year. Next year we shall have 300, 900 more mouths to fill and in ten years nine millions more, all of whom mJst be fed. In word the German people, which is multi plying rapidly must be made to feel 1t is secure for the next fifty years. We must annex the whole of Poland and White Russia as far as the Rokit- no Swamps. Only this will relieve Dur food necessities.
 The Poland problem is inso1uble. A good solution in the interests of Germany cannot be found, There is also another serious debit item in the account as it now stands.
 It is described as follows:
 Serious is the endangered posi- ton of the Monarchy. The true home of monarchical institutions has always been German Central Europe 3 consequence of the Germanic Vol kerwanderung which was conducted under our dukes.
 In Spain and Italy the kingly office has been weakened, in England it is already deposed. Lloyd George is the real King, of England. France and the American continent are Repub- lies, and now the European-Asiatic colossus has fallen asunder into free States Only the Central European states still stand for their Princes and even though we are so well sup. piled with them that their number might be diminished without mucf loss, we are for reasons of politica wisdom, and because of our histor. teal attachment, convinced adherent. of the Prussian-German Imperial of flee. And if hard times come fo- our Kaiser and Kings, if 1918 bring them the dangers of 1S4S, we cal thank our anti-Russian diplomats ana their victories over Russia.
 The Settlement With Britain
 Even though we are cordially glac of the eastern peace, we cannot sa, that it contents us. But we can b. satisfied that we now stand where WI ought to have stood in July 1914 Most imperative remains the settle ment with England. "The reconcilia ton with France is a most harmon ious phrase against which we hay nothing to urge, but where are ther any signs of it? You cannot nego Hate with delirious megalomaniacs.
 France is England's arm on tn Continent, and for this reason W must back it off. For us there is n alteration in the situation since 191 when we took up the battle agains France and England. This is reall the German War. We do not begi it with the same power which wa ours in July 1914. Japan and Amer ica have also Gisagreeably surprise us. But in our submarines a ne alliance has strengthened us on whic we did not reckon in 1914
 And now we stand at the right bt ginning of the war. It will be en( ed when we beat down French pro sumption. France is not fighting fc Alsace-Lorraine alone-Ihat is onI the alcohol which lis being hande to the French people, and which the greedily drink. The leaders of Fran, are fighting for an equilibrium wit Germany for their full political equa ity Of rank with us. And for tn they are prepared to offer their Ia man. But this political equality
 rank will only be reached when u entire left bank of the Rhine ar Belgium have been incorporated wi France. Should we, therefore, To the war, the Napoleonic Empire
 its essentials will again appear. Shou we win, Michel will smile at tt beautiful legend of the elf-determi ation of nations, and at the sweet al placid grazing together of polite lambs. We must seek for decisio snd successes in the west
