approximately 10 per cent of her old
area, with something like 100000 of
people, or about per cent of her ante
war population. This last will possibly
but not surely be offset by the gain in
cident to the union of the German speak
ing districts of Austria with the Ger
man Empire.
But there are two other changes in
German frontiers which may wholly
modify this situation. Between the
Rhine on the east and the Belgian,
French and Luxembourg boundaries ON
the west it is now proposed to create a
Rhenish Republic which for a consider
able period of time-for that time dur
ing which the Allied armies will occupy
German teTritory--is guarantee for
the payment of German obligations.
This Rhenish Republic will have an area
of approximately 10000 square miles and
a population of between 100000 and
5,000,O00 If, as is possible, at the end
of the period of occupation it chooses
independence rather than a return to
Germany this population will be lost to
the empire permanently, but in any case
it will be lost for period of years and
German military resources will be cor
respondingly reduced.
Finally, we face the possibility ex-
pressed in the demand of President Will
son in his fourteen points, that Poland
should have access to the sea- Three So
lutions Of this problem are possible. The
first would simply give the Poles rights

the Serbs now possess with respect to

do not conflict with Greek sovereignty,
and on the other hand guarantee the
Serbs against any interference with the

second solution suggests the bestoWal
upon Poland Of considerable strip Of
territory on the left bank Of the Vistula
River from the old Russian frontier to
the Baltic, constituting perhaps a half
Of the Prussian province of East Prus-
STA, inhabited mainly but not entirely
by Poish-speaking peoples. The third
solution contemplates the annexation
and cesson to Poland Of all the Ger
man territory between the old Russian
frontier and the German province of
Poscn on the south, which is to be joined
to Poland and the sea. This would

man progress was impeded by an over
dependence on heavy artillery and spe-
cial "shock troop" formations. Armies
which use 12inch guns in the field must
be slow on their feet. And this fault of
slowness was not overcome by the Ger
man commanders even as late as 1915
when the warfare of positions had ended
and semi-open warfare had returned.
Germany didn't achieve on the Rus
sian front a Sedan or Sadowa. She
didn't gather the full fruits of her mill
tary superiority. But her territorial
gains enabled her to set up on that front
the framework of a Tcutcn Middle

PARIS. March %.
TN THE third month of the Paris con-

=" N THE third month OF the PGr1S con-
ference the general lines of the Peace
IL of Versailles are at last becoming
clear. Certainly, before the first of
April the decision of the victors as to
Germany will have been taken, and the
world will know substantially what are
to be the frontiers of the German people
for the future, what in territory and
population are to be subtracted from
what was the Hohenzollern Empire, and
what, if any, gain there is to be as a
result of the prospective annexation of
Austrian Germany. Similarly we shall
know to what extent the civilized world
is going to demand that the German
tribes shall disarm and approximately
what is to be the payment by Germany
to the nations she has devastated and
plunged into sea of debt.
m Perhaps the most striking thing of all
I'm the Paris conference has been the
absence of any settled policy as to Ger
many. Precisely as Germany surprised
the Allies in March of last year in her
bomme offensive she surprised them in
November by her precipitate surrender.
In March she exposed them as lacking
unity of command, in November she re-
vealed them as without a clearly rea-
soned policy for the exploitation of that
victory which was just becoming unmis-
taxable.
aa We have had therefore over the last
three months two conceptions curiously
conflicting, each In turn influencing the
minds and shaping the policies Of those
whose power 1t was to impose peace upon
Germany and whose necessity IT was TO
fix terms which should guarantee for the
future protection against German attacIs
