NO PEACE TALK VICTORY DAYS

The battle of Gorlice was fought in
May. 1915, Subsequently. thererore-ac-
cording to Count Czernin-there was no
chance OF peace at all, even at the cost
of considerable sacrifices And even II
there had been a chance, either in NAV.
1915, or later, not only the German mill
itary party, but almost the whole Ger
man people would have refused it so
long as they felt proudly confident of
their strength
This confidence and strength should
have been fostered by the statesmen to
keep the will to victory alive in the
country, and preserve it from the i'm
measurable disaster of defeat The de-
termination of our enemies being what II

Our will in the matter was of no ac.

LONGED TO LAY DOWN BURDEN

The enormous responsibility l had TO
bear made me long for the conclusion OF
hostilities how could it have been other
WISE? I often expressed myself in that
sense. But unless we got a peace which
safeguarded the existence of our country,
the war would be lost. 1t could not see
how peace was possible unless the enemy
also was ready for it. l thought it very
dangerous for us to be alone in announc
ing for peace.
! was fully aware that natious do not
get peace merely by talking about it, or
even heartily longing for it. The pacifist
idea of a peace by understanding was of
many weapon against us. Many others
sincerely believed in it, being moved by
that spirit of exalted idealism which has
not yet been realized in this world of
strife. But did these idealists know
whether the enemy drought as they did,
and if he did not was it not clear that
BY spreading the notion that we could
obtain such peace, at any time, they
were leading the way to irreparable dis
aster, because. since human nature is
made that way, they were inevitably
weakening our war spirit, which should
at all costs have been strengthened?
They made our people yearn for peace,
without making the enemy ready for it
| In fact, they made peace more difficult
| of attainment, as the Entente knew all
about the state of feeling in our country,
and used it for their own purposes. These
| ideaists also impeded the efforts of Cen
eral Headquarters 10 make the enemy
more inclined for peace by those means
| which alone lead to success in war. In
| spite of their idealsm they are responsible
! foT the misfortune of our country. .

and they did not relize how they were
prejudcing the conduct of the war
Neither of these men. whom destiny had
placed at the head OF their people at TINS
terrible crisis. possessed the strong cna-
racter that events demanded.
No doubt they had to face serious IN
ternal difficulties. Count Czernin with
his conglomerate Empire, had an IN
tinitely complex task. The problems pre-
scented to Herr Won Bethmann were pro-
haoly easier; he had only to act IN &C
cordance with the overwhelming force
from the nature OF the war and from our
position in face of a foe determined 10

Instead of harping ever more and more
on the idea of a peace of reconciliation
which was always out of the question
he ought to have knitted the nation To-
gether, and pointed out to it the great
tasks before it and the objects to be at
tanned, and then have given us in the
army free hand. The German people
ought to have been shown again ana
again what they were fighting for, and
what the enemyiin his hearts really want
