The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1919-03-01

In the new armistice terms imposed
on them the Huns are getting Il slight
foretaste Of what they may expect
when the military peace treaty Is
made. Not many radical changes were
made, but these include the ces sation
of all hostilities against the Poles and
the removal Of German troops from
the Posen and Thorn districts: also
the Germans were peremptorily or
dered to put in good condition hll the
artillery, airplanes, motortrucks and
rolling stock which are to be turned
/ over. Nothing was included about de-
mobilization because 1t was ascer-
tanned that less than 100000 Germans
are now under arms. Erzberger signed
the new terms under protest, and when
he returned to Weimar he explained
to the national assembly that he had
no recourse. He was violently attacked
by q delegate of the Peoples party but
was sustained by the majority.
What seems to be worrying Erzber-
ger most IL the prospect that the peace
treaty will give to France the Sasr val
ley, where the best Of the German coal
deposits are located. The French
claim this basin should be theirs in
conjunction with the nearby Briey iron
region, but Erzberger predicts that i
1t is given them Germany some day
will recover 1t by force. In this, and in
his repeated protest against the
ssh rchpocrO ~ The <roo<rno~< tIo Gar
mans are receiving or are about to re-
ceive, Erzberger is speaking for a large
part of the German nation, which
seems incapable Of realizing that 1t has
been whipped and must pay fully for
its crimes.
The arrogance of the Huns has
reached a high point In LOUD objections
to the league of nations, IN the Gel
man press. Some newspapers even
urge that Germany should have moth
ing to do with the league, but others.
while severely crticizing some of the
proposed statutes, demand that &c
many be permitted to Join the league
simultaneously with the other powers,
1t is taken for granted by the allied
nations that Germany will be admit
ted to the league at some future date,
but only after she has given sufficient
guaranty Of her sincerity. AZ p, ofes-
sor LSrnaude, dean Of the PARIS law
faculty, says: Surely when Germany
enters q league Of nations she will
agree to sign every undertaking we de-
sire but we know what undertakings
mean to the Germans. Did they not
sign a treaty guaranteeing the neu
trality Of Belgium
This attitude of distrust, which Is
shared by all the allied nations, is rec
ognized as %justinable by n Teuton.
at least, Kurt Eisner, premier Of
varia. The Germans, he says, cid not
realize to what extent the allies con-
sidered the German revolution a pure
comedy. and he said that 1t will be
thus while the German leaders remain
the same as those who conducted Ger
many's odious war policy.
The constitution If the league Of ma
lions, as drafted. has been received
with general approval in England and
Italy, while In France the prevalent
feeling IL that 1t II q good beginning
for a project by which there is hope of
establishing world peace. In America
opinion IL widely divergent, ard ad-
verse criticism Is based on the fear
that the United States IL about TO sur
render the Monroe Doctrine. Presi-
dent Wilson, by wireless, asked tina
there be no discussion Of the league,
In congress Or elsewhere, until he could
explain 1t fully in the public speeche
he was planning to make in various
cities. Some Of the more impatient
In congress, however. declined to wait,
and started the music last Wednes-
day. II the senate the league was a
tackled strongly By Poildexter. Eorah,
Reed, vardaman. Lodge and others,
and was defended by Shafroth and
Hitchcock. In the house F,ss OF Ohio
opened the fight on the league, declar-
Ing 1t "monstrous" and filed with
vicious possibilities.
