Still a People of Prey.

What solution can the peace con-
ference give to such question?
These Rhenish provinces will gladly
be freed from Prussia, but they are
bound to gravitate toward a German
confederation and the Germans are
still what Tacitus said in Roman
times-..a people of prey" 1t is clear
that the military frontier in the way
of any future German invasion must
be the Rhine How is this 70 be con-
stituted and secured? That is the
question.
Until this guaranty making German
invasion materially impossible is Sc
cured by something more than the
mere constitution of a league of ma
tions making promises to each other.
France will have to keep up her mill
tary power and guard her frontier
against invasion. Nov far the mate
rial internationaiizing of the entire
Rhine can be made to give the neces-
sary guaranty has now to be dis
cussed by the peace conference. The
river Danube was effectively inter
patfopalized with a sovereign COM
mission before the war but this was
powerIess against invasion. 1t was
the same with the river Pruth- With
war neutral Holland shut off Belgium
from the river ScheiGt. which was
open to her by international treaty in
peace Holland and Switzerland had
also international rights along the
whole course of the Rhine-and Ger

No Imperialist Desires.

All F'renchmen. without any excep-
tion, gladly accept any league or
partnership of nations that Will pre-
vent war, but they wish to see what
material guarantees such league
will furnish them against another
Germa n invasion. They are unwilling
to demobilze or disarm or make
any peace until it is made materially
impossible for Germans to invade
France. That. and not disguised i'm
perialism or desire of territorial an
nexation, is the whole question of
the Rhine in the minds of French
men.
Marshal Foch himself has pointed
out that the River Rhine is a nat
uraI barrier capable of defending
France against German invasion. AT
the source, Switzerland intervenes,
and has army enough to intervene.
although her military authorities
wobbled in their neutrality during
this war. At the mouth. Holland has
left q lasting impression of pro-
German sympathy, going as far as
disguised active aid. Belgium has
heen a victim of German invasion.
France. from Alsace and Lorraine,
will guard her own part of the Rhine.
So the real, the acute. the burning
question before the peace conference
concerns the left bank of the Rhine
in Baden and what is still called
RheniSh Prussia
