The alleged" Peace Offer.

What 10 the substance of this new proter that
Is said to be on its way from Berlin:
Does it mean anything more than that Germany
wants free hand to batten Russia while she
Yields what Britain, France and America want in
the West? 1t seems to mean exactly that-with the
reservation that the Hun lifts his clutch from Bel
sium and France to return to the attack later with
even greater ferocty.
The terms as stated by the London Daily Mail
are entirely plausible Although Mr.. Balfour makes
formal denial that they have been rendered to the
entente government, either directly or indirectly
il is quite probable that certain neutral statesmen
have been requested act along the lines indicated
Let US take it for granted that the present Ger
offensive has motive and an objective other
than the hazardous, dangerous gamble OF trying to
break through" the allied line in the West. If
Hindenburg and Ludendorf have staked the entire
German cause on that, then they have already lost
But if they had hoped to create such display of
Teutonic power on the French and Flanders line,
combined with mastery of the situation in Russia
that makes it impossible to hope that the PROSTATE
nation can ever be restored a serious military
factor in the war, then the present peace move is
right in line with the hypothesis that it is the real
German objectiye-although it seems to to be
a trifle premature.
Consider the Eastern situation. Germany al
ready has accomplished such penetration OF the
front of almost all her soldiers-and demand OF
Russia the release of the German prisoners held in
Siberia and elsewhere. What would she not be
able to do with Russia If peace came tomorrow?
She could come dangerously close to swallowing
the bear whole
1t is little wonder that her eyes turn toward the
East-that she thinks of new German state that
will reach from Hamburg to NladvoStok and from
the Arctic to the Himalayas-and perhaps beyond?
An empire of those proportions could make
cessful bid for the complete domination OF the
world within the next twenty-five years.
More and her whole policy is going to
turn on Russia She will make every reasonable
concession in the West to gain peace provided that
she fails ooncusively TO force peace by the sword
she boasts that she do Her most
powerful propaganda in the future will be directed
to this question, which will be addressed to the
peoples of Britain, France and America:
rs it worth the spilling OF any more OF your
blood to save the inert 6emoralized people OF
Russia?
Our answer will be firm, for we know what the
absorption of the Russian state by Germany would
mean. Germany, usual, understands the degree
'of courage, character and intelligence that opposes
her.

Tough and German.

During 1917 there died in Germany 10000
more men and women-Germans, mind you!-be-
tween the ages of s5 and Is than died during the
year before, which in turn showed higher NOR
taty rate among the aged than any prewar year
That is not remarkable. The best food and the
most of it in Germany goes 10 the soldiers and
to the ruling classes. The aged poor live on near
food, and little OF that
But the remarkable thing IN connection with
the above statistics is the statement made by a
high German health official

that every day the German power is increasing"
And then he goes on to explain that the ab-
normal death among the old folks reduces the
number OF mouths which demand food-mouths of
people who no longer fight in the trenches nor
produce food munitions at home.
