The Tageblatt also scents politics
behind Marshall Foch's visit to the
Rh neland, as if the Marshal was
making a press agent tour of the ou~
Cupled territory, 1t says further:
"Foch's visit is intended only to
arouse sentiment useful to the inter

Marshal Foch will have no oppor-
tunity to add to his laurels The af.
fair that is to he settled between
Germany and the entente is no long
er the concern Of the generals, but
of the peoples. Il is a matter of JUS
tice, not of force, and the outcome
will justify that greater predecessor

Nation Must Wait Calmly.
The LokallAn2eisar says: Mar
shaI l'och goes to the front with his
trains Of artillery rolling into the oc-
cupied Rhine territory. The British
fleet demonstrates before Memci. All
this is to force a Wilson peace on Ger
many But Germany has no choice.
1t cannot sign any peace which con-
demns its innocent children to slav-
cry We must wait calmly and see
how much Of this Is bluff, how much
is preparation about this sabre-rat-
Ting The German nation has shown
tho world clearly enough that 1t will
never sign the slavery peace of Ver-
sailles.'
Germany is placing its last hope Of
more favorable peace terms on Amer
lea. Official German propaganda is
now focused almost cclusive'y oi
American public opinion. Offcia
word has gone out to the German
newspapers to eliminate all anti
American criticism and to refrain par
ticularly, from attacks on President
Wilson. The same tip has been
passed out to those speakers at the
protest demonstrations over whom
the government has control The well
disciplined German newspapers with
few exceptions, are obeyng this in
junction.
Wilson Attacked.
According to the inspired version
the cabinet at its meeting today Eek
pressed satisfaction that the tremen-
dous and spontaneous demonstrations
against peace Of violence had not
taken the form of abusive criticism of
President Wilson's personal policy"
The government Is also worried by
the possibility that the crowds in
famed by patriotic speeches at the
meetings of protest, may go on the
rampage and commit serious eXcesses
against members of the entente mill
tary missions or other allied subjects
here. This fear has inspired the chief
of police to issue a proclamation 10
the Berliners warning them that,
The tremendous protest movement
must not be sidetrackcd from its rea
goal and spoiled by acts Of violence
against foreigners here"
The chief of police charges that
dark elements are melting agitation
against the foreigners" and announces
his intention of taking ruthless action
against such agtators.
The purpose Of this open and covert
appeal to President Wilson and
America is, in the first place, to force
a modification of the territorial
terms in Germany's eastern provinces.
The government aims to gain the right
of lf-determiniation in the form of
q plebscite for Danzig and all the
eastern territories which, according to
the present terms are cedcd to Po-
land
Want Sympathy of United States.
Even without this popular vote, the
government and the peace delegation
will concentrate their hardest diplo
matte fight on trying to save the east
