Pacifst Propaganda
In All Entente Countries

eve learn from reliable sources
that pacitist propaganda will be pushed
in every possible way in Entente coun-
tries, especially among demobilized
soldiers. Indeed, it is even now being
done openly in newspapers, pamphlets
and speeches. The tendency of the
French War Cabinet will be bated );
the return Of Alsace-Lorraine to
France will be criticised and a plebs-
cite will be proposed as the best solu-
ton Of the problem.
at is certain that if the war should
be resumed anti militarism would play
a different role in the armies of the
Entente nations than before the arms
tice. The Entente is essentially weak
ened in fighting strength, advocates
having arisen for us in the very heart
of our enemies in overpowering force.
There is no doubt the peace terms
will be hard, probably unacceptable.
We will not here discuss what the Ger
man people will do if the conditions 8
arc too severe. but rather will we max
a standard whereby we may estimate
the possibilities of various policies for
the future. For war which was not
won we must pay and suffer How,
and with what? These are the main
questions.

PARIS, May 31.-A remarkable letter
addressed by Matthias Erzberger to
prominent Germans during the lat
ter part of April has come into
the possession of American army of
ficials here The document obviously
was meant to be kept secret and had
for its purpose the preparation Of
prominent Germans for the action the
German government had decided to
take at the peace conference.
Erzberger speaks plainly. He says
that having raised up Lithuania and
Ukrainia, Germany can keep Poland
feeble, thus holding the road to Russia
open. He predicts a great German fut-
ure for Russia, and concludes with the
statement that with Russia's support
in ten or fifteen years Germany can
resume the march to Paris, bringing
France easily into her power. Then
viii begin the last phase of the strug
gle, the conquest of the Anglo Saxon
meaning Great Britain and America
and then world dominion. for which,
he says, Germany is predestined.

First of Delegation Sent to
Paris Conference to Re-
turn, Says Entire Island Is
Now Demanding Freedom
Sim Fein Grows Stronger
New Plans To Be Made Here,
He Says, to Help Work Be-
ing Done for Irish People

Michael j. Ryan, one of the three
delegates sent to Paris by the Friends
of Irish Freedom to plead the cause of
Ireland before the peace conference.
returned yesterday on La Lorraine
from Havre. He hurried to his home,
in Philadelphia, but announced that he
would return to New York to-day and
perhaps would issue formal state
ment telling the experiences of the
committee in Paris and in Ireland He
said he also might have something to
say about the plans of the mission.
The presence of the three Americans
in Ireland moved the British govern
ment to charge them with stirring up a
situation which, while unpleasant, was
dormant. When this was mentioned
yesterday Mr.. Ryan told of the enor-
nous enthusiasm of their reception in
Ireland, and declared that every man
woman and child on the island was de-
termined to have freedom. He ad-
dressed thousands Of Irishmen from
one end of the country to the other
he said, and often great throngs stood
patiently for hours in a heavy ram to
hear him.
He described a night ride from
Athlone to Galway over roads that
were illumned by great watch fires on
the surrounding hills. 1t seemed he
said, as if the country was on fire

have grown fewer, while the damage
done during the war is taking a more
prominent position. Alsace- Lorraine
and part Of the province of Posen
are lost, but Germany will not die in
consequence. Six months ago French
dreams OF annexation included the eft
bank of the Rhine and the Poles looked
upon West Prussia and the entire Ma
zurian district as belonging to them.
To-day these horrible pictures have
faded into the background.
Behind Frances desire for revenge
the underlying factor is her centuries
old desire to become the dominant con-
;lnental power, an ambition which Ger
man Kultur defeated The estimate of
damages has become more precise
therefore much more dangerous, and
against this we must protest with all
our strength and by all means in our
power, not daring openly to make a
difference between the territorial and
economic claims of our enemies
Therefore. we must consider economic
conditions with the Entente at the
time of signing as not finally settled
Having before us an Entente greatly
weakened in comparison with last au-
tumn, what will it be few or ten
years hence? Will the Entente then
be anything but historical memory
We must above all keep before our
eyes the reason of this war--its strug-
gle for world domination between two
great factors. namely, the Continental
and Anglo-Saxo race of England and
the United States. Between London
and Berlin we find the same struggle
as between Carthage and Rome, the
Continent against overseas.

PARIS, June 1.-The Tribune cor
respondent learns that the entire coun-
Gil Of four is willing to make concessions
to Germany, President Wilson apparent
ly standing for the greatest and Pre-
mier Clemenceau for the least modifica-
tion of the treaty. The Allied repre-
sentatives have every reason to doubt
that the present German delegation
will sign the treaty as it now stands
NJ Clemenceau always has stood for a
severe peace. Premier Orlando of Italy
primarily is concerned with the Austro-
Hungarian treaty. Italy also requires
speedy recovery of her vital commercial
relations with her Germanc northern
neighbors. Lloyd George, who, infiu-
enced by poitica, considerations, stood
out against concessions when the Brit
ism press and Parliament were insist
ing on fulfilment of his election prom
ises of complete reparation. now evi-
IDENTIFY is considering the outcry of his
Liberal and Radical following against
the severity of the peace terms
French Oppose Foe in League
The French are willing to make Dan.
zig a free port, are not inclined to in
sist on punishment of the cx-Kaiser
and are willing that plebscite shall
be held in Upper Siesia; but they object
to taking Germany into the league Of
nations.
President Wilson is showing no sign
of breaking the union OF the council %
four or Of acceding to the German re-
quest for oral discussions Therefore il
IS assumed that a compromise will be
reached between mis- views and those of
Clemenceau on the concessions TO be
made.
Concessions Now Considered
Here are the concessions that are be-
ing seriously considered:
First as to Upper Slesia. pressure
is being exerted to force an agree
ment to the German demand for a
plebiscte.
Second, as to Danzig, the idea that
the city should have voice in deter
mining its own destiny is gaining.
Third as to the league of nations,
the American delegation desires Ger
many's immediate inclusion. Though
the French are seriously opposed to
this, the British and Italians are will
ing.
Fourth. as to the punishment Of ths
ex-Kaiser, the Americans have revert
ed to their former position in opposi-
ton to trial.
F'tth, as to reparations, the Amer
lean financial experts having agreed
that Germany IS able TO pay only
$25 ,000, 900, which is the sum the
Germans offered to pay. the Ameri-
can delegates again oppose the tinan-
cial terms of the treaty Some OF the
British financial experts have agreed
with the Americans that Germany, in
spite of the British election promises,
cannot pay the full cost of the war
1t seems probable, therefore, that the
clause regarding reparations Will be
defined more explicitly, approximating
the sum named above. which is all
many of the delegates believe they
will ever be able to collect
The negotiations viii continue. and y
is officially admitted that President
Wilson cannot sail for home before
June 20, even if no unexpected hitch
occurs.

BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher penned
the following wise words to the newly
married:
Work together, plan together, select
and furnish the house or room togeth-
err. Be one in all home arrangements.
The less talk of mime and thine" the
letter. We are satisfied that my
tights" should be erased from the die
tionary which governs husband and
wife, and "our rights" substituted
But, Notwithstanding short engage
ments sid early marriage certainly
appear to be the most certain road to
abidins happiness, there are some cas-
es which necessitate a long engage
ment. But it is full of dangers and
uncertainty. Yet, if each continued
faithful, and swerve not from their
plighted vows until the circumstances
which compelled delay have passed or
been overcome, then long engage
ment almost invariable ends in very
happy marriage. A love that has net
been shaken by long delay, usually
involving long absences, is nSt built
on sand, but on a rock, over which
floods may sweep and the wind threat
en- in vain. If young people are train
ed to look upon "a engagement as a
solemn contract 81 binding in Gods
sight as maria. there would be very
little danger. Ii in early youth, be-
fore education is completed, and some
profession or emf .oyment is secured,
two meet and are drawn together, be-
coming devotedy attached, then the
engagement, even if Of necessity it
must be long, IS the wisest course.
Any sacrifice is better than to re-
linquish the first love. We firmly be-
lieve in first love, given when the
heart is young and tender, unsus-
tanned by too close contact with the
world and it's bswitching, beguiling
attractions Sucl love, honestly Civ
en- and as truly returned, is next to a
mothers love--tEe safeguard Of young
men and maidens. This once secured,
the world may spread out all her de-
vices ever so skilfully and she will not
break the bond. So. because the first
young love is so sweet, so strong, and
when faithfully nutured, SO enduring,
we say let it not CO. even if it can
be held only by long engagement.

FOR THE BOYS

You who are men in years, and you,
just entering manhood, stop and con-
slider life as it is. Remember, faction
is tie essence of character" good or
bad, This character building is
daily thing, SO consider your ways and
weigh your actions, and build wisely.
What are your aims Are you
striving to develop yourself, mentally
and morally, SO as to have an infiu-
ence in your community? Our boys
will be the future men of our coun-
try, our lawmakers, and they should
be men who honor the law; they
should be men of principle, who can
not be corrupted by brides; who have
the moral courage to do their duty.
When a community lacks such men
evil and corruption predominant.
How much the well-being of com
munity depends' upon the honest, up
right men in It.
Many temptations beset the young
and they come in contact with evil
influences in every vocation in life.
Yet there is within yourselves, boys,
counteracting force Gf used) that
will enable you to withstand tempta-
tions, and to overcome the evil infiu-
ences with which you will surely come
in contact. Bring your reasoning
powers to bear Argue with your
selves the certain moral degradation
if you continue in a wrong course.
Bring your will power to bear and
keep under the low appetites and the
little mean things that corrupt any
who may give way to them. Have a
high standard, choose right, open
path in life. Nothing to hide, nothing
to be ashamed of.
