that the bulk Of the Teutonic armies win be res
cued If their retreat is not hindered BY the impede
menta that is now encumbering them. In the last
result Ludendorf will abandon all his guns and
ammunition and supplies rather than lose his men.
He cannot save both, it is now evident, and it is
probable that very considerable minor portion Of
his forces will be bagged, no matter how desperate
the defense is. In any event the booty that will
fall to Foeh will be the most impressive single
capture of material in the entire war. It will en-
rage the German high command, for it will knock
into cooked hat all their plans for the remainder
of the summer.
This is conservative way of putting the anlaz-
ing situation that confronts the world today With
in two weeks our point of view has shifted from
one point of the compass to another Numerically
opposite. We feel instinctively that the German is
done for; that his final sinister threat has passed
away. II the present victory is transformed by
some Fochian coup into veritabe Waterloo for
the enemy, we will see the greatest military re-
versal of form in given period that history
records.

The High Tide Of Time.
by EDMUND VANCE COOKI

This, then, perhaps, is the High Tide of Time.
The microcosm Man, has reached his prime,
For see, but yesterday he learned his trade
And seized the powers of which his world is made,
Married the water to the poisoned FIRE
And made their child his servant; seized wire
And bound the lghtnings to his chariot-wheel
To do his bidding and to work his veal
And yet so new these powers, he has not lost
His physical endowment in their cost
Not yet have Ease and Fullness worked his fate
And made him flabbily degenerate,
Nor has he, in the mastery Of mind,
Lost the desire for combat with his kind,
A muscle-memory of the time when food
Went to the Strong Mans ever-hungry brood
And left the weak to misery, and so
Man never looked on man, except as foe.
So, now, perhaps, is the High Tide of Time,
Crest of the wave above that sunken slime
From which man came. And still unruled, unawed,
And with his primal passions still unlawed,
He seizes on the knowledge he has gained,
On all the cunning. tortuousy attained,
Compounds it to helps fire and poisoned breath
To myriad forms of unimagined death,
And hurls it, careless though it may destroy
His world some spoiled child crush toy.
High Tide of Timel How shall Il leave rs then ,
Shall we still be up-looking, straightforward men9
Or shall we, when its swirl and sway recede
Be but the beachihgs of some baser breed
Some spneless, mindless, shameless soulless spawn
To found another futile race upon?
Shall man revivify the world with blood
Or drown his race in this abysmal flood?
So runs the riddle, fearful, but sublime
The frightful might OF this High Tide OF Time.

-Four Years of Il.

Let have peaceP
So spoke the master militarist of America two
and fifty years ago.
So say we, men and women of America after
viewing the desolaton and destruction of four years
OF the worst warfare the earth has ever known
Let US have peace-just as soon as the broken
sword of Prussianism is rendered in unconditional
surrender.
Protesting war, we are forced to believe in
war which became necessary to regain peace for
the world. Respecting peace, protest against
"a pseudo-peace which the enemies of mankind may
: use as preparation for renewed war;
If might is the only right, If war is the greatest
good, If nations kutur is to be foisted upon the
world by falsehood and treachery, by rapine and
murder by the outrage Of every superior sense and
emotion, then Germany is right If might is God
and schrecklichkeit is its prophet, then Prussian-
ism is justified. Welcome peace and welcome the
shackles which shall bind the worldl
But if these standards are wrong then Germany
sis wrong, and we dare not submit quit until her
power is no longer a meance. As long as Germany
proclaims, by word deed that might is right
so long must she be opposed by might
Let US have peace! but let it be peace between
peers The only peer of democracy is democracy
When Prussianism f1outed its own royal bonded
word as "a scrap of paper" it forever abured all
right to enter into another treaty with sefrespect-
ing peoples When Prussianism speaks now no
matter how fair the words neither its friends nor
its enemies believe 1t does even believe itself
Prussian speech is means of Disgusting its
purposes. How can there be a parley between un-
faith its part and unbeef on ours?
Prussianism's only absolution is restitution Its
only symbol must be Surrender" Either surrender
to the forces of the world which it has outraged
or surrender to its subject peoples which it has op-
pressed and deceived.
The people OF Germany again rise to the

French s'TickIed Pink.
1t is no "bull" that the French are
tickled pink to see our doughboys
over here, and while I would never
dare to write it for fear of being
called a sob sister, 1t is absolutely
true that they get out in the road
and cheer the boys marching ali
along. Even the French Poilus always
salute all American officers, whicr
they don't do to British, Belgian
italian. or any other officers.
The publication of daily American
communique has been a great boost
for us, everyone admits, particularly
as II is couched so modestly. Yor

Italy and League Of Nations.

Italy must come clearly into the circle Of
to Senator Vito Volterra, interviewed recently by
the Rome Secolo. The senator recommended the
exchange of university professors and exchange of
fellowships such as had done much for Anglo
French understanding, and had brought America
closer to both these nations. He called attention
to the commission formed in 1917 to formulate a
plan which might be made law, tending to pro-
mote better relations between Italian teachers and
students and those of other nations. This plan as
it stands recommends council of twenty one
members to be nominated in part by the minister
of foreign affairs and other ministers and partly
elected by the senate and chamber of deputies and
the faculty of the kingdom. The council in its
turn, nominates executive body to carry out its
program.
