GERMANS RESUME THE WAR.

ultimate aim the recuperaton of the German imperia
power and its supremacy in Europe, if not in the world
While the German government is staying the hands o
the allies-not difficult task seeing that the allies ar
in dsaccordthe German military organization is makn
Roadway in the Baltic provinces and is almost on tn
point of openly moving Petrograd Russians who ar
defending their territory under attack by Ger
mans and renegade Let's who have been mised by tn
Germans into believing that they achieve ndepend
ence.
Germany has split off many independent" portions
of Russia as possible and is ndustriousy propagandzni
among the creduous Russians endeavoring to convince
them that there will be another united Russia ant
that their aspirations for independence will be supported
and defeated by Germany Thus several large sections
have been induced to take up arms against their owr
brethren. The more bloody the slaughter of Russians
by Russians the more delighted Germany will be, she
will reap all the profit The losers territory will b.
taken by Germany without struggle and the winner
will then be corrupted conquered In this manner
Germany advancing rapidly into Russia without much
need of armies; but wherever an army is needed il
is in throwing back Russians who refuse to be swndet
out of their country, the army is forthcoming.
Back of the German advance in the Baltic region are
the junkers of East Prussia, the rreconciabe gang
of hereditary gafters who started the great and are
now strainng every to escape the consequences
of German defeat The refuse to acknowledge defeat
They see in Russia an opportunity to turn defeat into
victory They have with which to operate They
are either in control of the Berlin government
able to defy it.
Observers in Germany differ in their reports regarding
the interior situation but it is quite evident from the
course of the supreme council that the German
ment is either unable unwilling to put stop to the
military operations. Thus does not matter whether the
junkers control the German government or able to
defy it, for the result is the advance into
Russia This result is achieved in spite of the warning
Of the supreme council and its threat turn the
of the blockade against Germany.
Reports indicate that the people of Germany hard
pressed The rich at their wits end endeavorng to
hide their wealth and not knowing where to fee The
poor becoming and desperate with hunger
dthe terrors of approaching winter without fuel Yet
both rich and poor trying to stave off bolshevism
all classes hope that somehow there may be an escape
fro mthe clutches of the allies.
The Germans are united the point of ardently de-
string to cheat the allies of the fruits of victory but on
domestic questions the Germans are quarreing among
themselves There is universal absence of honesty in
everyday relations. Stealing cheating lying profteer-
ing and swndes of all kinds the rule immortality
is rampant. Some of the population is ready for boil
shevsm and held in check by machine guns On this
horrible mass the German leaders are trying to build
empire and like the corrupt people they serve they
are ready to resort to any reachey of diplomacy or
to attain their ends
Throughout allied countries the belief has been incul
Gated that if the treaty with Germany were only ratified
the world would be Tapped in universal peace Unfold
ing events are showing with pitiless clearness The
emptiness of this hope The treaty NAV be ratified or
not rathed-Germany goes forward with her plans 70
thwart the allies. While the supreme council faters and
postpones decisions the German army in Russia fpbt
further and further toward position from which it can
not be dsodged With Germany once in possession Of
Petrograd and Kronstadt, with German engineers n
1orces the allies would find the position more difficult
than the Dardaneles Germany would become possessor
of European Russia.
There must be prompt and adequate action against the
German government The nations that defeated Ger
many must stick together and complete the task at anv
cost The enemy is actually wigging out of defeat and
the treaty is ripped to- shreds before it is ratified By
force by the power of Marshal Foch sword and not by
any formula of words the allies must strike down the
iehant Huns and herd them back into their confines
