We have been patiently awaiting for
one word Of repentance from Germany.
Now and again a mite OF confession
Is heard, but Of sorrow for misdeeds,
not a whisper. She is tne same egolis-
tic nation as ever. She mourns only
over her curtailed ambitions. She Is not
defeated in spirit yet. She simply guess
ed wrong. one OF her journalists, Herr
Rudolph Kirchner, writing In the
''Frankfurter Zeitung" puts it:"We Ger
mans, at least those Of us who were not
lmperlalsts, thought OF this war as one
OF self-defense. The people let the rulers
have their own way about It. We meas
ured the international situation by the
accuracy OF a German long-range gun"
With borders uncrossed and homeland
intact the surrender Is looked on as a
tactical victory. The returning troops
were welcomed 10 the strain OF
deutschland uber Allies" while the
reglmental flags were crowned with
laurel wreaths the men wore ever
greens on their helmets. and their
tunics and guns were covered with
flowers. The populace engaged in mad
orgies OF pleasure, explaining their ac-
tions by saying I'VE are trying to for
get"
Seeing, however, that their bravado
was rightly interpreted they quickly
changed their tune. Meanings issued
forth. They were starving, and must be
fed. They were beaten and must be
commseraied with. Was IL not enough

net said they would accept peace on

Now they want to enter into their old
ways. For them the war Is over and
they must return unhindered TO their
former tasks. Their ignorance does not
permit them to see that they have not |
begun to pay their debt to humanity. |
They have been so thoroughly drilled |
In the school Of self-importance that |
they still think themselves superior be- |

their hearts that they are lying %

lieve IL. America and Germany must

take by bringing you into the conflict,
but you must not hold IL against u.s."
The queer part of the propaganda is
that some OF our people believe they are
sincere.
