All of which should make it per-
fectly clear what the German is now
up to. He sees plainly new chance
to win the war. He has only to es-
cape paying the costs Of his devasta-
tons deliberately undertaken to Grip
pie France and Britain, and he has
won the game; he will emerge de-
spite his military failure greater and
less exhausted in material and hui
man resources than the nations which
defeated him in battle
And the way to achieve this end
is unmistakeable.
He must appeal to the elements in
all enemy and neutral countries whose
idealjsm or congenital blindness make
propaganda. Above all, he must en-
list American sympathy and Ameri-
can support, and / do not think
is making substantial progress in this
direction in certain American quarters
in Europe.
Starts the Campaign.
The German begins his campaign by
accepting without cavil the most eX-
treme idealism anywhere to be found.
and then goes it one better. He ac-
cepts Mr.. Wilson's fourteen points
and, having swallowed them, he pro-
cecds to interpret them. He accepts
the League of Nations principle, hav-
ing accepted it, he undertakes to an
next it. He proclaims his enthusiasm
for peace and justice, healing peace,
and then he proceeds to outline it.
Consider the fact that this same
German one year ago demanded the
right to annex Belgium, Serbia and
Poland, to take half of Northern
France, and to enforce indemnities
which would have put this world in
economic bondage to him for a cen
fury. He wrote all his purposes into
the treaties of BreSt-Litovsk and Blu
charest, where they remain a mat
ter of record. This was what he I'M
dertook to do when he felt himself a
victor only twelve days less than
twelve months ago.
Appeals to the World.
But now, the war lost, he appeals
before the world in the name of in
ternational justice that none of his
territory, whatever the desires of the
population may be, should be taken
from him. He characteriZes the
French desire for French Alsace-Lor-
raine as wicked imperialism.
He characterizes French and Bel
gian demands that he pay for wanton
destruction as proof of the desire
to destroy Germany. He meets every
just demand for reparation and resto-

Princes Island Conference
Will Result in Agreement,
Declares Hitchcock.

WASHINGTON. Feb. IA. = Predic-
ton that the proposed conference at
Princes Island between representa-
tives of the victorious associated ma
lions and the various contending Rus
sian factions would result in an agree
ment for withdrawal from Russia Of
American and allied troops, was made
in the senate today by Senator Hitch
cock, Chairman Of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, during another spir-
tied debate on the American policy
toward Russia.
Senator Hitchcock said he believed
all the foreign expeditions in Russia
would come out together" under an
agreement with the Russian represen-
tatives which would prevent butch
cry" of troops left In Russia which
have been friendly to the allies.
Discussion of the Russian situation
was opened by Senator Johnson, of
California, Republican, who asked for
immediate action on his resolution
which would place the senate on rec
Ord as favoring withdrawal from Rus
'sia Of the American expedition as soon
as practicable.

ration by new accusation, appealing
with ever-grOwing vigor to precisely
those principles which he not only re
jected but spat upon in his day of
power.
The thing goes very deep. The Ger
man meant to annex Belgium because
he wanted it, despite the unanimous
wish of the Belgian people. But to-
day. when the Poles of Silesia and of
Pcsen ask to be reunited to Poland,
he invokes, falsely, precisely the same
principles which were invoked justly
in the case Of Belgium
His Plea.
And when it is demanded that he
pay for the wrecked industrial re-
gions of France, he appeals to the
same principles cited by his. enemies
when he demanded, not that they
should pay for devastation, since they
caused none, but for his expense in
the war of conquest which he had in
fiicted upon the world in his pursuit Of
universal domination.
And while in Paris the Allies are
seeking to achieve just peace and con.
struct a real league of Nations, hav
ing naturally and inevitably to exam
deal with national aspirations, some
just and some unreasonable, the Ger
man is steadily building up for. him.
self this new policy and this new
character. He is preparing to use ev-
cry possible disguise of idealism and
of justice to enable himself to win
the war he once lost by arms.
The danger of this new German
campaign can hardly be exaggerated.
1t is gaining Roadway in many places.
1t is finding converts in many Ameri.
can quarters. 1t bids fair to capture
international socialism as represented
at Berns, and international finances
represented everywhere. 1t will mean,
il he succeeds that we shall have lost
the war and Germany will emerge the
only victor, with all of Russia as her
first immediate prey and all of her
Eastern ambitions revitaliZed.
Has Not Reformed.
If there were anywhere the small
lest sign that there had been real revo-
luton III Germany, genuine awaken
ing of national conscience, honest re-
lection of old ideals, it would be differ
ent. But the fact is patent. The men
who ruled Germany at Weimar are ex-
actly the men who for four years and
half in Berlin accepted, endorsed and
promulgated policies which are re-
sponsible for all the horrors of the
recent war.
The peril of Bolshevism in Germany
is over. Perhaps we all exaggerated
it; but the peril of Germany herself
has been restored. If Germany escapes
from her terrible destruction, she wins
the war. If France and Britain are
saddled with these costs, in addition
to the costs of defending themselves,
neither can stand against the Germans
again.
But only thus can Germany escape.
If she succeeds by her new campaign
in entrapping American public lead
ership, her triumph will be completed
and, at least in Paris, the danger
seems real and close at hand
At all events, it is time that the fact
was clearly perceived in America that
Germany has totally changed her sit
uation, has executed Transformation
which may yet have for the confer
ence at Baris something of the same
surprise Napoleon's return from Elba
had for the Congress of Vienna cen
tu1y ago.

people and an area several times as
large as that of the Rhineland. She
will ecQuire more territory than Prus-
STA ever gained by successful war.
In addition, there Is the Russian
field The allies have abandoned it.
they have declined task probably be-
yond their resources Of reinforcing
the elements Of order and organization
in Russia. They have had recourse
to the transparent device of the
Principe conference, which means in
fact that they have recognized the
Bolsheviki and left the way open to
the Germans to ally themselves with
the conservative and sane elements in
Russia, and thus to reorganize and
exploit the vast Russian empire when
peace at last comes. Those who ap-
pealed to the western powers to save
them from Lenine and Trotsky will
now have no choice but to throw them
selves into the arms of Germany.
Gigantic Transformation.
Thus we have in three months a
mighty and appalling transformation.
Germany has already escaped from
the first paralysis of defeat, the dan
ger that the empire would break up is
over Instead we shall see seventy
five million Germans in the future in
stead Of seventy millions. We shall
see greatly enlarged German empire,
including Vienna, touching the middle
Danube. enfolding the new Bohemian
state in It's deadly embrace, and to-
day threatening to prevent that Pol
ish renaissance which has been right
ly recognized as the cornerstone of
a just and permanent settlement in
Europe.
All this, save the Polish circum-
stance, is now practically inevitable.
AS a consequence of her attack upon
the world, Germany is to be greater in
area and larger in population than in
1914. She has overturned the great
Slav state and her pathway into the
East Is open for vast economic and
incredible political expansion.
Better on than Before.
In all respects save two she finds
herself already better off than before.
Now these two limitations are obvi-
ously military and financial. Germany
has not and cannot for a considerable
time rebuild her army since she lacks
material nor can she begin new wars
since much of her territory is in enemy
hands as a result of the armistice
terms.
She is powerless, therefore, to resist
Allied demands for just reparation
and restoration by her own military
weapons. She is then thrown back
on a new line of action to avoid
financial burdens, but with the very
plain fact in mind that if she can
avoid these burdens she will emerge
victorious from the war and be able
alone Of the European nations to take
up the old race in ornaments.
France Needs Help.
For 1t is very clear that if France
is not repaid for the terrible havoc
wrought in her fields and factories
and mines by the German invaders.
France cannot both restore her eco
nomic life and maintain her army as
of old. And if the French army is re-
duced the sole substantial obstacle to
German ambition on the mainland of
Europe disappears, while Britain,
with her commercial feet decimated
by the submarine and her human re-
sources reduced by war, and always
less numerous that the German, can
not sufficiently reforce France.

]. shell, OLDEST
NAN NAN IN WORLD
Mountaineer's Eyesight is Good-He
Ha. Grown Three Sets of
Teeth.

Lexington, KY, July 16.-The Ma
tional Geographic Society has beer
asked to investigate the claim that
John Shell, who lives on Greasy
Creek. Leslie county, is the Oldest
person in the civilized world. He ad-
mits being 115 years old, but his old
neighbors claim he is 1870 or 131.
"Uncle Henry" Chappell, 70 years
old, says Shell was an old man as far
back as he can remember, and that
he has tax ticket, showing payment
of taxes by Shell in 1909, which
would make him 1870, as he had to
be 21 before paying taxes.
Shells oldest children are about
80 years old, and he has several great
great grandchildren. Nine of his
children are living and his descend
ants in his home section number
about 200.
His eyesight is excellent, and he is
an excellent shot with a rifle or a
revolver. He was a great hunter and
marksman in the old days, when he
helped other pioneers blaze the trails
of Kentucky.
He attributes his long life to his
outdoor living and temperate hab-
its. He never drank liquor or used
tobacco to excess, he says.
It is claimed that forty years ago
Shells first teeth were all gone and
new set came, but decayed within
a few years, since which time third
set has come out.
He frequently rides twenty miles
to Hyden, the county seat of Leslie
on horseback. He is declared to be
in possession of his faculties.

Some Of the men have not caught
more than five fish this season, while
several were found who have not av-
eraged one shad per drift. Some OF
the fishermen have placed their nets

catch herring.
At Pennsville and Bayside several
