Private William B. Oakes, Go. r, 9th infantry, A. D. F., writes to his father from France. Base hospital, No. 30, date of Nov. 24, 1918:
 Dear Dad:-
 Just a few lines, as this is Fathers day over here. I am still ill the hos pital and am writing this lying or my back, although l can move around. I am not wounded very badly. At first they thought that my shoulder was broken, but I can use it all right I expect to be back in the states before long. Surely before Christmas. We are allowed to write more now since it is all over. I was wounded the last night of the show at Chateau Thierry, in July; that was where I was wound ed the first time. I went from there to Saint Mihiel, to the Champagne front, the Argonne woods and then to the Mouse river, which I was only a few yards from. That was the far thest the Americans went so I was there at the start and stayed until the finish.
 The wounded are going back first, so I expect to be over in short while. I haven't heard from home in two months, as have been on the go about all the time I may beat this letter over, at least hope so.
 I am in a big hotel which has been turned into a hospital, and vas used before the war as a summer resort l have also got one of the best doctors over here in my ward. Although il is almost December it isn't very colo here. The French are sure glad this war is over, and they are not the only 1 ones. I consider myself lucky to gc ! through so much and come out witt | only few slight wounds.
 1 They have been celebrating ove1 1 here about every night, but same as always, I'm out of luck and could onIy hear the hollering. Well, will close now, hoping this fs my last letter iron this side of the pond.

Junkers
H. on the Job

The old Prusslan spirit did, in fact, wake
up surprisingly. 1t seemed to have all the
potent influences of the nation behind it,
and it made the Hertling government
look like spineless, foundering thing. 1t
scored grandly at -Litovsk, KuhI-
mann went there to make peace with Rus
sia, ostensibly at least, upon the basis of
the Reichstag's peace resolution but he
was overruled by the military authorities.
and peace was forced upon Russia which
amounted to the annexation of the Baltic
provinces by Germany. The Prussian junk
ers were playing for fresh political recruits
from the little cotere of German aristo-
Gratis who arc the great landowners in
those provinces. But the Brest-Litovsk
lists; they never ceased to denounce it as
contrary to the spirit Of the Reichstag res
olution, as serious obstacle to peace. and
as injurious to Gcrmany's real interests.
President Wilson had in the meantime
begun to pelt the German people with his
notes. Especially after his fourteen peace
conditions were announced, on january &,
1913, the German Socialists began to nav
most serious attention TO his uttoranccs.
While not committing themselves fully to
Nil of the Presidents conditions, thew saw
in them hopeful opening for peace. His

eral elements of Germany at moment
when hunger was pinching and military de-
feat was writ large upon the Western hori-
zon.
That was the situation when the Main
Committee of the Reichstag met on Sep
tember "a, meeting which was looked for
ward to on all sides as certain to mark
the beginning of new era in Germany.
1t was obvious to nearly everybody except
Hertling himself that radical transfer
nation of the government was at hand
The Socialists saw it, and they also saw
that the time had come for them to take
hand themselves in working out such
transformation. Accordingly they laid
down certain conditions upon which they
would be willing to accept Cabinet posi-
tons. Their conditions called for outright
parliamentary government and the firm
control OF the military by the civil authori-
ties. Their conditions met with opposition
at first, and it seemed that the majority
parties could not be brought to accent them
as a basis of action; the Socialists accord
ingly said that several weeks would elapse
before the reorganization of the govern
ment in accordance with their ideas could
be effected
BY the end of that momentous week,
however, Hertling saw that he was at the
end of his resources. He resigned and in
duced the Kaiser to issue his decree Of
September 80 stpulating the establishment
Of parliamentary government. In agree
ment with the majority parties of the
Rechstag, Prince Max of Baden was made
Chancellor on platform which had been
adopted by the Socialists, Catholics and
Progressives (Radicals). Socialists for the
first time accepted important Cabinet posi-
tlons, and nearly oil Of the new ministers
were selected from the Rechstag
Not month had elapsed, however, be.
lore 1T became obvious that this coalition
OF the majority parties was inadequate to
deal with the new situation that had aris-

progressing breakdown of Germanys mill
tary power, greatly fostered the develop
ment OF the most radical or even Bolshevist
views. This showed itself first at Kiel on
November with mutiny in the navy. It
began on the battleship Kaiser by queer
freak Of poetic justice; the seamen OF that
vessel overpowered thein officers and hoist
ed the red flag. The mutiny spread rap
idly within a few days, until large part
OF the navy had gone over to the Reds.
Meanwhile the Socialist leaders at Ber
In saw the chance to set their battering
ram in operation. The Kaiser had more
clearly than ever become grave obstacle
to peace. The Socialist managers there
fore sent to Prince Max an ultimatum de-
manding the abdication of the Kaiser. On
Thursday, November 7, he refused, on the
ground that "he could not at the moment
Of peace undertake the terrible RESPONSE
bility of handing over Germany to the En-
tente and delivering up the country TO
anarchy" William had not yet learned that
n Germany purged of the Hohenzollerns
would fare better with the Entente than
II they remained in power, and that he in
particular was oy no means protection
against anarchy. But he was predestined
by his character to misread this tremen-
dous situation; with virtuous gesture Of
self-abnegation he tried to keep his selfish
monarchical interests in the foreground

NTapoleonic Wars
~ Best Precedent

The Russo-Japanese war was brought to
aa end by the intervention of President
Roosevelt in June, 1905. He suggested to
both sides that here should be a peace
conference and both sides accepted Desul-
tory fighting continued however, until
after the peace delegates met at Ports
mouth on August s.
Perhaps the best precedent for the pres
ent war. is furnished by the Napoleonic
wars of century ago. That was another
case of one country against many and
when the war was ended by the defeat
and abdlcation Of Napoleon all that re-
NAMED was for the Coalition to impose
their terms on France and divide up the
rest OF Europe among themselves They
met with very brief delay in Paris and
signed treaty of peace, which was after
New-York tribune., 1918-11-17

could not be openly indorsed, indeed but
1T is manifest that the Socialists inwardly
approved his wish to oust Wilhelm H.
Their whole attitude toward the Kaiser up
TO the time when the war broke out was
one of more than cold Indifference; he
had treated them as his enemies, and they
reoiprocated his aversion in full measure.
After he had greatly moderated his hatred
OF the Socialists by reason of their sup
port of the war, they seemed to feel more
kindly toward him, and during the last
few years there was little or no criticism
of him by the Socialists Their latent op-
position, however, remained; they were
only awaiting their opportunity.
The breakdown of the great German Of
fcnsives Of this year created a new situa
ton. Only about ten days before Foch
delivered his first telling blow between
the Aisne and the Marne, Ludendorff and
Hindenburg played their last strong trump
against the civil government by forcing
the resignation of Kihlmann The mill
tary authorities at that time excited the
wrath Of the Socialists to the boiling point
by stipulatng how the newspapers were to
interpret Kuhlmann's famous speech re-
nouncng hope for a military victory.

New-York tribune., 1918-11-17

Mr.. Carnegie's palace at The Hague is
ruled out to start with. Holland is too
close to Germany, and besides the justif
able suspicious attaching to her during the
war, she has just given asylum to Mr..
Hohenzollern. Switzerland is, really, the
only neutral country that could be chosen.
From her position she has been under pres
sure 'by both sides, while her sympathies
have been chiefly determined by whether
the Gcrman-Swiss or the French Swiss
were uppermost for the moment. The Allies
have only to exercise reasonably fair judg-
mcnt to be favorably and comfortably To-
Gated in Switzerland, and Lucerne would
suggest itself as an ideal choice.
But Bolshcvism is rampant throughout
the world The red flag waves every
where and Switzerland has not escaped.
Dangerous as pressure from one side or
the other might be, if the position were
not that Germany has merely to signify
acquiescence in the terms, \the pressure of
Bolshevism would be still more dangerous.

The paraiicl between the two cases is
very close. A hundred years ago 1t WAS
not question Of negotiating terms with
France, but of imposing terms Oh her
The is true of Germany day. A
hundred years ago the peace terms Oh the
Coalition had been framed in their broad
outlines at meeting short time before,
when Napoleon had proposed peace in order
to save his throne. The Allies to-day have
tactly adopted the fourteen conditions Of
President Wilson, as modified by his sub
5equent speeches and writings, for the
basis of peace, while Germany and her
allies have specifically accepted them. The
work to be done is, apparently, the cabora-
tlon of these terms at peace conference,
as the Treaty Of Paris was elaborated at
the Congress of Vienna.
One might suppose that the Peace Con-
ference would meet Immediately, with only
the delay necessary to choose the delegates,
and this is what Germany has asked put
ting forward the plea of threatened starva-
tion of her population. But as yet there
has been no definite move among the Allies,
and one is led to believe there may be
considerable delay in convening the CON
gress. 1t would seem from the speech Of
tcal supporters that the Peace Conference
must wait on Forthcoming English elections,
which have been set for December II.
