GERMANY AS 4 SINGLE POWER.

GERMANY AS A SINGLE POWER.
But for the intervention of the United States acting
Its own way and time, the world by this time in all prof.
ability would have been passing under the domination
coterie of individuals at Gerlin Germany They game
control of there empires and one kingdom by system
autocracy which took every for military service an
denied to every man any share in the government
Through this control they could sway four nations as on
man, and with this combined force they trampled upo
small nations procured the dsintegraon of Others an
nearly destroyed the greatest nations in open battle I'm
the United States ntervened the fortunes of war wer
IN favor of the German consprators. They had accom-
pished marvellous things by the application of the simp
rule Of combination and solidarity.
Now the free nations freed from the threat of dom
nation, are discussing ways and means of making secure
peace They have been three months at this task anc
are no nearer to the solution than they were at first
1t not time that they should ask themselves why? Should
they not and anayze the situation and try to dis
cover the reason why Germany powerful and SO
dangerous If they discover the reason thew can an
ply the remedy.
Germany was powerful because she was united in sim
gle nation and dangerous because this nation was not
ree but dominated by band of murderous adventures
II Germany is not to be powerful again. she must not be
permitted to reorganize single nation; and if she
not to become dangerous she must not be dominated bv
juna of as'assns The first requisite must be attended
10 by the nations OF civilization for Germany cannot be
depended upon to organize in small separate nations
She will inevitably organize as single powerful nation
if the allies do not prevent her. AS for the control of that
single nation the allies cannot trust the Germans to keep
themselves Free There aguaranty that the Germans
can give that would not be scrap of paper in times of
STRESS whenever Germany calculated that Il was tim
to strike treacherous blow at her neghbors
In separate nations, the German people will not be
strong enough to terorze Europe and even If eyery sep
arate German nation should be dominated by a small
group of unker would surely be the case thew cou
not harm anybody but themselves, provided strong
France and strong Poland stood ready to annhate
hostile action.
In single nation the Germans cannot be trusted Their
instinct through thousands of years has been reachery
heir nelghbors, domination and destruction. Their or
'anizing ability is wonderful but always tends to the
me point OF German supremacy the death of all rivals
The German empire designed to destroy France and
nearly accomplished its design Is that empire to be
ermed to again from the ruins of the German
Military organization? Evidently so, Judging from the
eports that from Germany There is no conceal
nent of the plans of reorganization The Germans are
DING forward as freely and resouey as though there
no conference of victorious nations at Paris Not
My are the German states coaescng into great empire
reater than France but German Austria is preparing to
DIN this empire, contributing 100000 additional pop
aton to this sinister and powerful natural enemy of
'eedom. n
Why do the allies talk of eternal peace by forming
ague among themselves when terrible force is organic
g outside of their league, eager to be let along long
1ough to recover its strength and actually this moment
organizing as single military power stronger than
observation-disclosures Post.
