The SITUATION IN EUROPE.

There is treaty between the allies and Germany and
Germany pretends to be trying to execute the terms of
the treaty Yet the facts that Germany has already
violated the reay in two vital matters, relating to-
consolidated Germany future power and the
other looking toward the early rebuilding of the German
army itself The constitution of the new imperial
public of Germany provides for the incorporation of
Austria-as bold move toward future aggressive wars
as was the bloodandiron policy of Bismarck The SUI
preme council has required Germany to amend this pro-
vision of he rconsttution but in the correspondence
growing out of this violation of the treaty the allies
have not yet pinned the Huns down to definite aban-
the heart of Europe
The union of the German states tie central factor
which enabled the Hohenzolern dynasty to plunge the
world in blood and nearly to extngush liberty. The
allies have fatuously permitted this m~siary union to
remain and are not yet successful in preventing it from
annexing Austria.
The creation of German army is actively in process
despite all the reports and warnings of allied generals
to the supreme council 1t is well known that Ger
many can amass a well-armed force Of over 100000
whenever treachery can make an opening for It's
operation The recruiting and arming is going on over
the entire empire On the eastern front German army
is in existence in addition to the famous iron division
which is intact As the allies demobilize Germany Sc
crety arms and equps her army for aggression and
revenge. The Huns not satisfied to accept the
treaty conditions They will tear the treaty to shreds
with artillery fire whenever the propitious time arrives
They will be satisfied only with the victory of the Ger
man army with all that victory implies to the barbarian
mind
The feebleness of the supreme council at Paris is
now so apparent that the whole world SCOTS. hare
brain defes the council from Fiume, the Roumanan
forces take hold of Hungary and knock boshevism out
despite the queruous protest of the council Germany
kills off Poles in Silesa in calm disregard of the exist
of the council and there are outbreaks in Asia
Minor, the Balkans, Damata and dozen other parts
of Europe.
The supreme council loses its grip almost in direct
proportion to the dmunton of allied military strength
As the armies melt away the supreme councils power
mets with them The cunning enemy, with unerring
blood scent, knows when it is safe to steal forth and
Stay and when it is wise to keep under cover Soon,
the process continues, the only strong-amed power
in Europe will be Germany The free governments, re-
spending to the hasty demand of their peoples for de-
mobilization, will find themselves naked and without
sword confronting furious armed giant.
This sketch of the present tendency in Europe based
upon the reports of intelligent and devoted American
officers who capable of understanding what they
see. They can do nothing than report the facts
IN
tributes information which throws additional light on
the situation, when Mr. Morgenthau, former Ambas-
sador to Turkey reports after trip through Germany
that Germany is dynamo of energy far ad-
vanced toward recovery than any other nation"
The warning plainly conveyed by the facts that the
free nations cannot safely depend upon theories and
pieces of paper at this time The most solemn declara
tions become mockery when truth opposes them The
finest schemes of mice and men go aglee when they
collide with facts. At this time when the allies wounds
have barely ceased dripping it is too early to rely upon
binding the German fends with strips of language
Something than Hun signature and an allied cam
mission are necessary to keep the European ge from
seeking blood The debates in parliaments oKer the
phraseoogy of treaty that has already bee% torn to
shreds by the enemy to be superfous excor+
