May Revive German Dreams.

May Revive German Dreams.
II Germany succeeds in holding on to
the Baltic provinces, we shall see a
slow or perhaps rapid change in
German control and policy, in my
judgment. German dreams of empire
and expansion will revive. German
hopes Of escaping the financial bur-
dens incident to the indemnities i'm
posed at Paris will increase and, what
is even more serious. the Germans will
too powerful to permit her neighbors
to reduce their armies. This means a
perpetuatfon of armed peace in Eu.
rope and in the world.
In addition we shall see a further
defiance of the allies in the matter of
Silesia, where the Paris conference
weakly consented to a plebiscite in
stead Of permitting Polish occupation,
and in Danzig, which is still in Ger
man hands. Actually successful de-
fiance Of the allies by Germany will
mean the reduction of that portion of
the treaty Of Versailles which affects
a scrap Of paper. Already this has
happened with the sections Of the
treaty affecting the territory east of
the Adriatic and south Of the Danube
and the Thesis.
When one recalls that it is not yet
six months since the treaty was
signed nor a year since Germany sur
rendered absolutely, 1t will be per-
ceived that, in Mr.. Asquith's famous
phrase I'VE are getting on"

The mission, which arrived in Paris

empire as q whole, while the military
members oppose it. All agree that the

Poles Have Strong Army.

As for the use Of the Poles. the sit
uation is different; the Poles have
strong army, differed by Frenchmen
and largely trained in France. They
would gladly fight both the Russians
and the Germans. but particularly the
Germans. But the difficulty Is that If
the Poles were permitted to occupy
the Baltic provinces, they would GER
tainly endeavor to make the occu-
patton permanent. at least in a por-
ton Of the country; while If they were
permitted to attack the Germans, they
would never pause again until they
had established Polish rule over all
German territory east Of the Vistula.
Thus to use the Poles would be to
undo the work OF the treaty Of YER
sailles; 1t would beyond all debate
contribute to raising a new Polish
problem quite like the Rumanian diff
Guilty. Rumania has occupied certain
territories not assigned to her at
Paris; she means to hold them, and
she seized upon the bolshevist mess at
Budapest as a pretext for going to the
Hungarian capital. 1t would take ar
mics now to get her out of Transyl-
vania or. for that matter, to expel her
from the Bessara bian province, which
she occupied with the consent of her
allies, at the close OF the war.

It Is essential to recognize in the
present crisis in the Baltic provinces
the third in the series of tho chal-
lenges to the conference Of Paris
which has occurred within a relative
Nv recent time. 1t is unique only as 1t
is the first actual move Of an enemy
nation-that is. of one of the nations
recently at war with the western al
lies. Rumania and Italy were allies.
The Rumanians are still in Buda-
pest; the Italian rebels In Ffume;
neither challenge has been met with
anything approaching a show of au-
thority; both have revealed the west
ern publics totally unwilling to sup.
port any new military effort and
nothing is more natural than that the
Germans, particularly the old military
element, should see q chance to begin
again.

PARIS, October 24.-The Turkish gov
eminent was amazed at tho receipt re-
Gently through the American high COM
missioner in Constantinople Of COM
munication sent by President Wilson di-
rectly to the Turkish authorities to the
effect that unless the continued massa-

ident's fourteen points would become

Threat Alarmed Turks.
This threat alarmed the Turks be-
cause they believed that their defense
Of Ottoman territorial integrity was Of
necessity based on the Wilsonian prin-
ciple providing for the self-determina-
ton of peoples. The Turkish govern
ment, under Damad Ferid Pasha, re-
piled to the note courteously, stating
that the President had apparently been
misinformed because no massacres Of
Armenians in the Turkish empire had
taken place since the armistice. Ferid
Pasha further said that the government
was making every effort to repair dam
ages, restore property and assist the
American relief committee whose work
was chiefly among the Armenians.

French View of Situation.

The French. who have been called
upon to supply the troops to make
good the Paris decisions Of the con-
ference for some six months, are quite
willing that the Rumanians should
stay in Budapest and the Poles go
to Berlin or Petrograd. az the case
may be. because this would spare the
French new sacrifices. But the Brit
ish do not want to see q new war, q
now partition Of Gerrnany-above all
else. q new campaign in which British
soldiers would have to participate.
AS for tho Italians. they. are willing
to send troops to share in any CAM
paign with their old allies. II only
these allies will recognize Italian
claims to Fiume. but these allies can
not do this without breaking with the
United States.
AS it stands. Germany is taking adj
vantage of the complete paralysis Of
the powers behind the Paris con-
ference. 1t knows that the French,
the British. the Americans. for rea-
sons not to be mistaken. do not want
a new war. 1t recognizes that all
three would probably, with extreme
reluctance. resort to war again, il
any German challenge were issued in
the west, along the Rhine; but it
counts that the average citizen Of the
western democracies is too weary Of
war and too hay as to essential facts

Two Clear Warnings.

AS far as Germany is concerned. the
venture in the Baltic provinces has
two clear warnings:
First OF all, 1t discloses a German
army, under a German general, draw
ing its officers and certain number
of It's men from the old German army.
This army is in the field and is re-
600, three times as large a force as
Germany was to be permitted to
maintain. under the terms of the
treaty of Versailles.
Secondly, it reveals German gem
erals making a common cause with
Russians. preparing the way alike for
that alliance, which has long been
foreseen. and for the exploitation Of
the Russian east. which has also been
forecast to be the true German path
way of commercial and political ex-
pansion for the future.

Threat Alarmed Turks.
Amazed at Misinformation.

The allied diplomatic agents were also
amazed at this note because it Is a gen.
orally accepted fact in the orient, even
among the Armenians who are the
Turks bitterest enemies, that no Ar
menians have been killed since the
armistice. The nationalists were first
indignant and then amazed at Presi-
dent Wilson'S misinformation.
It now appears that the communities
ton was sent without consulting the
American delegates in Paris, who were
as greatly surprised as were the Turks
and the allied representatives. They
offer the explanation that pressure Of
Armenian opinion in America forced
the action.

Obstacles in Way Of Old Allies.

Specifically, it would seem. the old
allies have their remedy in hand.
Failure on the part of the Germans
to heed the ultimatum OF the Paris
conference would seem to be a suffi-
cient warrant for starting the allied
armies on the Rhine on the road to
Berlin and the Polish armies into the
Baltic provinces. Plainly the situa-
tton is one which calls for force, used
promptly and used without hesita-
ton.
But the allied army on the Rhine is
now mainly French. with only Brit
ish. American and Belgian contin-
gents. and France would thus be COM
PEELED to undertake a new campaign.
almost singlehanded, with no clear
certainty that either American or
British divisions would reappear on
the continent. Moreover. the French
have just recalled their two battle
generals fro mthe Rhine. Gouraud In
Strasburg and Mangin in Mayence,
and sent them to the east.
That the French army could go to
Berlin is probably beyond question.
but 1t would mean a real campaign.
new casualties. new expenditures and,
beyond all else. it would mean that
Frenchmen would have to be recalled
to the ranks and French demobiliza-
ton made next to impossible for q
long period OF time. With a general
election in sight and a growing I'M
willingness on the part Of the French
to bear more Of the burdens alone,
the obstacles in the way of military
effort are clear.

Meets Lawless Elements.

The commission completed it's tour
without misadventure except that it
encountered some lawless elements in
Armenia. 1t also witnessed a certain
amount of fighting while passing
through. but had not been placed in
any danger.
The report of the mission was COM
pleted ten minutes before the ship on

many closely typewrittsn pages. The
members OF the mission decline to
discuss the report. which possibly
will not be released until it II sent to
