that they themselves would not violate
it, and which also definitely excluded
the American continents from the
scope of this truncated areement. But
the presidents second draft showed
no acceptance of this suggestion. He
did not put the Monroe doctrine in

in America; and even then he did not
put it in in such fashion as to prevent
the claim that it is not yet properly

Our attitude on this point will be in
che minds of our readers. We have
thought from the first that the Monroe
doctrine was in no danger. and that in
any case his new clause XXI makes
assurance doubly sure. But the in
teresting feature in this revelation is
that the question was horught to his
attention most sharply by his own ad-
visers in Paris when his first person.

sidestepped deliberately the easy and

very sincere and universal American
demand. Moreover, we were told from

LEADERS CONFESS GERMANY's
GUILT

NnHHILE we most certainly do not
WV approve the form Of German
propaganda contained In the books
written by General Enrich Ludendorff,
who was in command of the German
armies during the latter stages of the
war and Alfred Won Tirpltz, the ad-
miral in charge of the Hun navy who
championed the U-boat campaign, 1t
Is worth noting that both confess Ger
many's guilt in starting the war,
Americans We're inclined to dispute.
To those who championed the cause of
Germany prior to the time we went
into the war and who have since been
inclined to hold to the belief that
England plunged into the conflict be-
cause ct jealousy over the mounting
commercial activities, the admission of
Won Tirpitz is in itself conclusive
they we're mistaken. ....
To those who have sought and
endeavored to get at the real facts, it
has long since been conclusively
proven that Germany could have
ing and the good name of that dis
graced country, had the war lords not
been permitted to have their way. But
they We're allowed to and the entire
world suffered as never before in its
history, leaving Germany branded for
ages.
In one of the chapters of the book
written by Grand Admiral Won Tirptz,
which was suppressed in Germany, Won
Tirpitz makes this statement:
WAR came because of Germanys
fundamentally erroneous belief in the
entente's desire for peace at all costs,
particularly in the case Of England,
which had given rise to the idea that
the punishment of Serbia could be
made a purely local matter. The con
tinuance of these -ase beliefs weak
ened our diplomacy, which was already
pueriIe."
Is further proof needed of Germany's
double dealing? If it is, Won Tirpitz
gives 1t when he scores his country
for failing to take advantage of Sir
Edward Grey's proposal for England
France, Germany and Italy, to combine
and undertake mediation of the
Serbian question. Our mistake was
in refusing the entente offer of a con-
ference even though we might have
distrusted it," says Won Tirpitz
when we avoided an opportunity to
avoid war, at the Same time declaring
our desire for peace and perssting in
our invasion policy, we gave them the
opportunity to accuse us Of forcing
the war. II made IL possible for our
enemies to bring against US the grave
charge that we instisated tho war;"
Yet we find even now those who at
tempt to sooth their conscience, be-
cause OF their previously exhibited pro-
Germanism, with the argument that
Germany was not to blame. The trou-
BILE with them is they shut their eye.
and their ears to the truth.
