Macmillan Harden, editor OF the
Berlin Die Zukunfit, writing on tne
peace treaty says: The peace conoi-
tions are not harder than ! expected.
They were unpleasant to the greater
mart NJ the people. But could one
have really expected them otherwise?
The Germans have not given very
convincing mental guarantees during
the six months since the revolution
that they have changed their sySteIh'
on the contrary, the present govern
ment and the press have used the same
methods of incitement, the same TRICKS
of bluff as under the old rule OF the
petty nobility. The governments pro-
CARNATIONS and speeches are only PAD
copies of the kaiser's time. The wnole
press resounds in protests ana mas
started a campaign of incitement
AGAINST the allies. couched in violent
language. 1t is agitating for refusal
to sign the treaty, and to what use!
All must know that the allies by Keep
ing up the blockade and occupying tne
coal districts. can force Germany to
sign whatever they want. The allles
have been threatened that Germany
would join the Bolsheviki. But that
would be suicidal. The only way TO
rescue the country is by openness ana
honesty The revolution has Deeh
great disappointment. Germany should
have sent men who would have laid
cards on the table and got the allles
to understand that some of the condi-
tions were unacceptable. If Germany
showed IT'S good will to do what Is In
its power to comply with the allies
requests, the allies would see that con-
ditions were changed in favor OF Ger
MANY because they knew there must
be a Germany and that it is impossi-
BILE to destroy the German people.
Two of the three naval seaplanes
that left Rockaway Beach last Thurs
day to fly across the Atlantic ocean,
were at Trepassey bay, New Found
land, last Sunday, and the other was
at Chatham Light, Mass, getting ready
to resume the flight to Trepassey bay.
All three Of the planes started out IN
good shape for Halifax, $40 miles
away. The Mel and the NC-3 made
the trip without mishap; but the NC-4
went down off the coast of Massachu-
setts and had to be towed into the bay
at Chatham Light. There was some
thing the matter with the engines.
After few hours at Halifax the oth.
er two planes made another jump on
for Trepassey bay, 460 miles. The NC
/. piloted by Lieutenant P. n. L. Bel
iinger Of Cheraw, S: c., made the trip
through without difficulty IN hours
and 81 minutes. The NC-3 after ny
ing fifty miles, developed propeller
trouble and had to go back to correct
IT. 1t started again and reached Ire
passey bay about four hours after the
NC-1. The plan was to wait for time
