Germany's great hope at present is that
Mn. Wilson will get all that he has de-
clared peace must give us: free trade,
free seas, free Germany-free, that is,
from what is normally due her in consc-
quence of just defeat. The "Berliner Tage-
blatt," the journal which UNDERWRITERS the
German revolution" recently reminded
Northcliffe that his discussion of peace
terms should not overlook the fact "that
President Wilson has expressed himself
for the freedom of the seas and for the
remuneration of every thought of economic
1t is precisely these two points which
have caused the German government to
accept Mr.. Wilson's collective PLAN Even
Paul Rohrbach is looking up hopefully.
I'VE shall now see," he writes in his
"Deutsche Poltik" chow serious Wilson
really is about the League of Nations and
world peace He has the power to make
them reality. Germany has supplied hon
est proof that she is ready, and the En-
tente is not in a position to enforce de-
mands which are contrary to the policy
America desires to see" Rohrbach is
Junker, but what is to gather from the
utterances of the official organ of the
present revolutionary" German govern
ment? "Everything which can still be
saved and won," writes "Vorwarts," "can
only he won and saved in the negotiations
of the peace conference. Even without
weapons the German people will be i'm
portant factor at the peace table. A peo-
pie of 100000 remains valuable as a
friend and dangerous as enemy. We
have promised of our own free will to join
a League of Nations in accordance with
Wilson's principles. By this voluntary
adhesion we have much to give the world
which force would lose. Even without
arms we shall not be defenceess at the
peace table"
There is no mistakng what the German
plan of action is; shall we continue to
contribute to it? Germany has been
beaten by the Allies; shall the United
States help her to escape punishment?

CUDDENLY bells and flags,
~ Suddenly-door to door
Tidings! Can we believe,
We who were used to war?
Yet we have dreamed her face.
Knowing her light must be,
Knowing that she must come.
Look-she comes, it is she.
Tattered her raiment floats,
Blood is upon her wings.
All, but her eyes are clear.
An, but her voice outings.
Look-she is here, she lives,
Beauty has died for her.
Soon where the shrapnel fell
Petals shall wake and stir.
