prediction was made that the Ameri-

come when we would be compelled to

the stimulus of adventure and the

that we had by no means exhausted

Dispatches from Welmar declared
that the national assembly would at
once take up the peace treaty and that
majority for its ratification was as
sured The Germans had been nOti-
fed that the blockade would be lifted
as soon as the pact were ratified. and
they expressed the hope that German
prisoners OF war would be released at
the same time. AS an earnest of their
good intentions the Germans ceased all
warfare on the Poles simultaneously
for some time and not without q pro-
sailles. Released fIom danger in that
direction, the Poles turned all their
attention to the Volhynian
front, starting cOunter-offensive in
which they claimed to have broken
the Ukrainian resistance and regained
control of important towns and rail
ways. There is no assurance, how
ever, that Germany will not again
break out on the east front, for accord
ing to correspondents she has, since
the armistice, reorganized an army OF
about 1,OOO,OOO men and gathered
equipment for three times that mum.

she had when she surrendered. or
course all this is contrary to the
terms Germany accepted, and IL the
stories are true the allies will have
to get busy again. The Germans can
be trusted in one respect, and one
only. They will evade the treaty IL
II is possible for them to do so.
The French foreign Office gave out
the texts of the proposed agreements
Of France with the United States and
Great Britain designed to protect
France against unprovoked aggression
by Germany. The pacts differ in that
Great Britain consents TO come" to
the rescue Of France. while the United
