Military Victory
Only Road to Peace

In the German mind peace campaign
IS war measure, and rs his fighting
chances diminish he turns more and
more eagerly to the second arm. When
we talk about peace, we Allies, it is with
the thought of ending the conflict, but
with the German it is merely the effort
to use desire for peace among his
enemies as means of winning some
thing he has not won by the sword or
perceives he cannot hold by the sword
If the battle goes to its logical conclusion.
Unless all signs fail the German is get
ting ready for a new peace offensive 1t
will be the most dangerous of all, be-
cause with everything at stake he will
make it so. If it fails, like his present
military offensive, then he will lose the
war. If it succeeds he will win the
war, even if he never gets another mile
nearer to Paris and ultimately surrenders
Metz and Strassburg.
NO German peace proposal will be
real peace proposal, proffer of peace
on reasonable or possible terms, while
the German army is unconquered, be-
cause all peace proposals will be con-
trolled by those who control the German
army. Therefore all proposals must be
met as attacks by the enemy, not as any
thing else. The way to peace remains
through military victory, and before VIC
can hope for victory we must repulsc
first the German military attack, which
is now going forward, and next the Ger
man peace offensive, which is preparing.
The German military offensive must
be beaten in the west. LudendorfF has
temporarily made "Westerners" of US
all, but the peace offensive will be in the
east and when Il opens there we, too,
must become "Easterners," for the deci-
sion Of the war will be based on perna-
nent subjugation or complete liberation
of eastern lands and races from the
German yoke. Victory on the Marine,
the Seine and the Somme must be turned
to account on the Vistula, the Danube
and at the Golden Horn These are the
issues of the war, the tests of real vic
tory or of actual failure on our part
and on the part Of our Allies.

The Measure
of Our Duty

AS it stands 75,OOO,0OO Germans and
100000 Magyars dominate popula-
tions If other races as numerous or even
more numerous, and unless those races
are now freed the slavery may be perpet-
ual, and out of these enslaved races Ger
many will construct new armies and in due
course Of time make new attacks upon
Europe. This is the story of Prussia;
this is the history of the Hohenzollerns;
and as long as the way is open and the
human material is at hand the Germans
are bound to keep on in their determine
ton to restore the Roman world under
German control.
We are winning the war on the battle
field. Despite the dangers in the imme-
date future, there is clear water not too
far ahead, so far as the military prob
lens are concerned. But we are just en-
tering the danger zone, so far as the
peace offensive is concerned The Ger
man is preparing his new line of attack
and his new methods of combat We
shall have every artifice in his whole

Americas Attitude
Decisive Factor

And I believe that it will in con-
siderable measure depend upon Amer
ica's attitude whether the German peace
offensive fails, as the defeat of the Ger
man war offensive depended in some
part on the speed with which we got
our new armies to France. We must ex-
pect and reckon with the war WEAKNESS
of the masses Of our Allies; we must be
on our guard against weakness that
comes from wounds suffered in brave
resistance and in resistance maintained
almost beyond human endurance. Our
leadership, not perhaps in ideas, but GER

How Germany Can
Offer Apparent Bargain

Or there may be a convenient fight
between the "Moderates" of Germany.
like that of last summer, which served
to distract and disrupt Allied prepara-
tons and Allied opinion, while German
agents were at work in Russia prepar-
ing the way for the great collapse which
had it's fruition at Brest-Litovsk. We
shall certainly have an irresistible push
Of liberalism" in Germany just as
soon as the ruling elements decide to let
it loose again.
In the last analysis, however, German
diplomacy is bound to seek to achieve
German peace by Transforming any
negotiation into a bargain counter and
making sacrifices, and conceivably real
sacrifices, in the West to insure the pres
ervation of what has been conquered In
the East.
There is nothing novel about this
scheme Every one has seen from the be-
ginning that at the precise moment when
Germany saw she could not crush the
Western nations she would strive to buy
them off by such concessions, in the way
of restoring to them their own, as would
leave her still supreme on the road from
Berlin to Constantinople and beyond,
and also in the disintegrating Russian
Empire.
If Germany can preserve her corridor
from the Baltic to the Bosporus she may
hope, ultimately, to resume the advance
upon Cairo and upon India. If she can
hold the Black Sea and the Transcauca-
sian provinces she has still another and
more secure route to the Indian frontier.
If she can preserve the chaos in Russia,
the tumble Of disorganized and disjoint-
ed states she has created from the Arctic
to the Pinsk marshes, she can look for

of such defeat by negotiating a profit
able peace, peace which shall leave
Germany the "jumping-off" places for
next time Just as the Napoleonic legend
was invincible until Napoleon had fought
Waterloo, SO the legend of the German
army's invincibility will survive anything
but defeat which cannot be explained
away. And while the German army main
tains the supremacy of the German En-
pire it will continue to plan new attacks
upon the world

No Man Understands
Russian Problem

If only the American public could be
brought to see the questions of Poland
end Serbia, of Rumania and of the Bos-
porus as clearly as they see the questions
of Belgium, Alsace- Lorraine and the
Italian 1rredenta, the failure of the Ger
man peace offensive would be assured
If only the fact could be made clear that
Germany and Austria could afford to
evacuate Brussels and Trieste, Strass-
burg and Metz if they could hold Bel
grade and Constantinople, Warsaw and
Riga; that Germany could we'll afford
to lower her flag forever in South and
Central Africa if she could hold open
the roads to Asia, north and south-then
the voice Of American public opinion
would warn American diplomacy against
German endeavors.
No man understands the Russian prob
lem, and there is manifest readiness on
the part of the European nations which
have suffered most by reason of Russia's
desertion to abandon the Russians to
German fate with little sympathy. The
temptation is natural, but the costs Of
such a course would be enormous. On
the other hand, no man can suggest
way in which to insure Russian regener-
alton, no matter what help be furnished.
BY contrast the reconstruction of Poland
is not only possible but carries with it
the hope that behind the Polish barrier
Russia may regain her national health
without fear of German domination

Not Engaged
on Quixotic Mission

There has been good deal of non
sense talked first and last about freeing
enslaved peoples. They should be free;
we ought to do all that we can to aid in
liberating them; but we ought to recog-
nize that in freeing them we are not
engaged upon a quixotic mission, but in
erecting barriers against our common
enemy. For three hundred years and
more the Serbs fought the Turk along
the Danube and broke the weight of his
thrust, and thus contributed greatly to
the salvation of Europe. Poland like
wise saved Europe against Turk and
Teuton. Both races have a new mission
in the new order that is to come, but it
Is essential that the American people
should understand that the mission is
one of vital Importance to them, that j.
is necessary part of the insurance we
are going to take out against repet-
ton of the great tragedy Of the World
War.
We have got new German offensive
to meet and break, and it is idle to talk
apouI peace Terms ana peace negotla-
tions while the German is less than fifty
miles from Paris and gathering his
legions for new thrust toward the
Seine or the Channel We are not out
Of the area of military dangers yet, and
to discuss peace terms is to fall into a
German trap, as we have fallen before
But it is getting close to the time when the
German will have to win his military
decision or go back to his second line,
and his second line is diplomacy. and
we have got to be ready for him there,
for we can lose the war there just as
easily as on the battlefield, and it will
be harder to win back, once we have lost
it in this fashion.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-07-07
Eastern Sentinels
Could Bar the Way

What Germany has to fear is that her
enemies will continue the war until they
are victorious in the field and can, in
their turn, erect, not shadow states, but
real states out of the subject and sup
pressed nationalities along her own boun
diaries or within Austrian and Balkan
limits. A real Poland, with 25,000,0O0
people, with a gateway upon the Baltic
at Danzig, with German Poles united to
Austrian and Russian, would close the
way to Russia, would be a sentinel on
Germany's eastern marches like that
which Europe again and again erected in
the Low Countries against France in
other centuries.
A restored Poland, unified Rumania,
a Southern Slav state on the Danube, an
international control of Constantinople
and the Straits-these things would
mean the end of all Of Germany's ambi-
tons and the destruction Of all her hopes.
If, in addition, Austria could be resolved
into it's component parts, or transformed
into a real federation Of states based
upon race, the work would be complete,
but this last is perhaps beyond the power
of the most victorious alliance Europe
has ever seen.
What is possible is to bar the several
roads Of the Germans into lands inhabit-
ed by the weak and the defenceless,
whether the anarchic Russians or the
hapless Turks, by the creation Of states
which have all the necessary elements
out of which to construct or reconstruct
national life. And it is this order Of
constructive craftsmanship on the part
of her enemies which Germany will seek
to block at all hazards. She cannot es-
cape it if she loses the war on the battle
field, and she is determined not to make
Napoleon's mistake and hold on too long.
She remembers the chances he had to
save the Rhine frontier in 1914, and she
will not, like Napoleon, rely too long on
arms alone.
