Especial Correspondence.)


 Paris, July 31.-The revelation in Paris of a secret letter which Erzber- ger addressed to the chiefs of the var- ious parties has caused a sensation. Does he truly depict the mind of the people?
 For the moment Germany is down and out. But she will, with that dog gedness that no one who knows the race will deny to then1-begin tomor- row to prepare for the new strug- gle? Will every child be taught to hate England as a, part of his lesson at school?
 What is the design as shown by Erzberger? Shortly it comes to his:-
 Keep Poland In constant trouble prevent her from constructing a pow erful state.
 Join hands with Russia, who Is a onpanion in misfortune.
 Detach England from France.
 Trust that America has had enough of European intervention.
 Then pick aL quarrel with Poland and upon some question on which England would feel indifferent, drag France into the dispute.
 The weapons of war yesterday are not the weapons of war of today, and it does not need much imagination to realize that the weapons of to- morrow will be far in advance o1 the weapons of today.

many now and during the coming
 years.
 Politically, on what does Ih4her-
 ger reckon? His letter makes 1t clear
 that he looks to the Revolutionary
 Socialists in all countries to aid him.
 'In all of the Entente padons.' he
 says there is a tendency to make
 the declared Wilson programme the programme of the Revolutionaries." And ie is argued that the Peace Treaty does not conform to the Wilson programme, the revolutionary move ment is at once definitely Socialist (that is to say Communist and in fa- vor of Tightening the burden of Ger many.
 Thus he hopes that agitation
 will upset the Government in all the Allied countries and give Germany l a breathing space and the opportunt- ty to prepare her revenge. That Is what he is gambling upon, and he is not alone in this specu1a- tion. He has behind him an immense | force of public opinion in Germany. The evidence which reaches Confer ence circles here makes 1t perfectly | clear that the moment Germany is | in a position to do so, she will tear l up the treaty and will defy the Allies | to enforce 1t. She hopes that if she
 
 | on the part of the Allied Governments | to begin fighting Germany will be | the signal for general revolt. It is true that the real battle Is | between Germany and England. It is | also true that England has need of | France to buttress her position | the Continent. Without France, Great 1 Britain has no feal footing in Europe | proper. She is insulated and must | sserIo iSoj | But 1t is not true to say, as Erzber- | ge. says, that France is so weakened | that she can never recover. Finan- | cially and economically she is badly | off She has lost two millions of men
 on the battlefields. her trade is ruined, l her mines put out of use, her country | side wrecked.
 But with the aid of her allies, and l with such an effort as she is capa- l ble of, she will recover herself again 1 There is where Erzberger makes a 1 miscalculation. Nevertheless the dan | ger is there. It is as well that we i should take notice of the warning ! which Erzberger has been good | enough to give us.
 | Thus France in the West, and Po- l land in the East, are the two prin- | cipaI corner-stones of British influ- | ence on the Continent. That Is why | Germany hopes to prevent Poland | from ever becoming a strong settled | nation. Germany and Russia will, II | we are not careful. trample down Po- 1 land again. German policy in the East
 will be directed to that object. In the
 West, aided by Socialist forces, she | hopes to separate France from Eng | land. The rest will be easy.
 Let us carefully ponder these
 things for the peace of the world de l bends upon them.
