Germany and the Next War.

On the other hand, Germany will
unquestionably begin to prepare for
the next war on the very morrow OF
the signing of the treaty of peace.
But her preparations will not be mill
tary at the outset. By contrast she
will plainly undertake to DO three
things: To avoid compliance with ter
rftorial and financial conditions OF
peace alike by external propaganda
and passive resistance on her frontiers,
to separate her foes by intensive activ-
tiles in the familiar propaganda lines.

Bile differences Of opinion between the
nations which have defeated her. and,
finally, to build up a new alliance.
which shall, in due course OF time, be
strong enough to renew the challenge

To begin at the beginning. Germany
will not at once attempt resistance in
the west to the terms of peace. AL

session, as is the Sarre region; French
armies are encamped along the Rhine,
furnished with all the material for
