The German majority press is pre-
pairing the people for n disagreeahle sur
prise in the matter Of the armistce
terms. and Norwaerts has even dared
suggest that a disarTned Germany at
the peace table would still be an impor-
tant factor. There is no doubt that the
majority party Is ready to accept almost
any terms, but for the moment the
military CLIQUE still has the upper hand.

poet that the British fleet will anchor

Though the German diplomats have
been singularly clumsy throughout the
war and have united the greater part Of
the civilized world against their coun-
try, they deserve considerable credit for
their skin and foresight in bringing

side
1t has generally been supposed that

There are about 100000 men now

consumers who previously were self

reach into the pockets of these who
stay at home and draw out by tax
alton enough money TO pay the bills
of such an army and navy. The only
possible source of ready cash is TO
borrow from those who have 1t.
The farmers have shown their
energy in producing the largest crops
and have endured hardships due to a
shortage of help. and | believe they
will loan to Uncle Sam every dollar
they can spare, thus giving full sup

SOMEBODY RLUNGERED:
IT WAS The PhUSs|aHS
Germany Went Wrong In Estimating
the English, French and
Americans.

Lack OF understanding OF other na-
tions, OF other peoples, has ever been
the predominant weakness Of the
Prussian militarists. Posing as lead
ers In philosophy and psychology they
have nevertheless failed completely
in their analysis OF human nature In
any people outside their own bound
ary lines OF dominion.
They misunderstood the French.
They blundered In their estimate of
the English. They muddled their
dealings with the Russians. And the
world at large now knows how far
they missed reading us Alright. They
thought us a nation of money grub
bers. of apologists rather than fight
ers, and even yet they are refusing
to concede their mistake. But they
knew better In their own hearts.
Uncle Sans first rude disturbance
OF the Prussian serenity was his dec
laration of war. His second shock to
Prussian confidence was the rapid fire
manner in which he began the up
building of his armed forces. Then
came the tremendous over-subscrip-
tion OF the first Liberty Loan, an al
together unexpected performance.
And when this was repeated in the
second Liberty Loan drive 1t was real
ly appalling
Now the Prussian interest is cen
tered upon what the American people
are going TO do for the Third Liberty
Loan in the face of recent events at
the front. While <he American troops
along the firing line are emphasizing
our spirit and determination with Is
centimeter guns, howitzers. machine
guns. hand grenades, rifles and auto
mates. ii is up to W. at home to do
our shelling with dollars.
Ours is by far the easier task. 1t
has no SAVIOR of danger. On the con-
trary it is precaution against the pos
sible menace OF the future. Ills sc "
ing seeds of security where they will
grow to the benefit of both ourselves
and our country.
Ii is one of the greatest. the noblest.
the most patriotic opportunities ever
offered the American people.
