GERMAN REASONING

over almost in their entirety through
unofficial reports. reveal several IN
consistencies II spite OF superficial
plausibiiity. The counter-proposals
are emphatic III demanding a peace
based on President Wilson's Four
teen Points: these points are. in Ell
feet. the courter-proposals say,
"contractual obligation to Germany
10 which the Allies are bound TO adj
here. The Treaty Of Peace. the Ger
mans say. violates a legal contract;
it perpetuates imperialism. and re-
pudiates. especially as regards the
German colonies. the principles OF
elf-determination which form an in
tegral part OF the Fourteen Points.
The sO-called reputation OF Number

condemnation.

The argument is speciotrs. ;FGer:
many regulates her former govern
ors. the autocrats who. she says
forced the bloody deeds OF the wal
upon her. Why not soften the term:
of the treaty as she requests? There
are several objections to such a
course. In the first place the Ger
man people did not repudiate their
/ governors until defeat and starvation
/ stared them in the face. They were
perfectly willing to go on fighting
as long as. before the entrance OF
America. there was the slightest
chance of victory. What assurance has
the civilized world. which has suf-
fered SO much at Germany's hands
that Germany reinstated in power,
will not revive kaiserism. imperial
ism and hunger for world-domina-
ton.
After 1870 the people Of France re
pudiated the feeble and vainelorious
emperor who had allowed his coun-
try TO be driven TO destruction. The
people Of France declared a Repub-
lie, but Germany did not mitigate BY
one jot or title her terrible demands
on defeated France. She insisted
that the Republic, under NJ. Theirs
and his successors, pay for the weak
ness Of Napoleon III. The Allies
make their demands in spirit diff
ferent from Bisma-ck's in 1870. IT
is not desire for revenge that ami
mates them. but desire for the future
peace Of the world. If Germany has
truly renounced imperialism. why is
she SO anxious for the return Of her
colonies, where her misgovernment
has been notorious?
Another point made by the coun-
ter-proposals is that the Allies have
no right to judge and to punish Ger
many at the same time. Perhaps
Germany wants a neutral body to try
the case against her There is one
about this: this has been
a war almost unique in history, a
war in which there were no real neu-
trails. There were only those who ia
vored Germany and those who favor
ed the Allies, In every great war in
history the victors have both Judged
and punished the conquered. 1t is
hard to see why Germany feels that
his universal. precedent should be
broken in her case It is clear that
she does not feel her crimes to have |
oeen so fragrant after all.
Nevertheless there are many signs

Adversely.

During the Middle Ages Cologne

Of the city We're famous the world
over; while its merchants had houses
in London, and the city itself was ac-
corded a chief place in the Hanseatic
league. Decay set In with the dawn Of
the Reformation, and the place owed
its downfall to its intolerance. Thus,
its university, which in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had a great
reputation. began at once to decline
This policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity of the town, and when.
in 1854, Cologne was occupied by the
French, 1t was poor and decayed
city of some 10000 inhabitants, of
which only 5000 possessed civil rights.

EDUCATION AND THE PUMPKIN
Eastern Writer Points Out Wherein
the Two Have Some Strong
Points of Similarity.

At one Of our city vegetable marts

Turing aspect, with the statement that
it grew "full twenty feet from the
stalk" remarks Rochester POst-Ex-
press. This habit of wandering In
tOrtuOus uselessness to a long distance
from the source Of production before
the fruit of the vine is produced Is
long known of the pumpkin.
1t would not be amiss for our educa-
tors to consider the pumpkin vine; I'M
questionably some of them have In
earlier days. but whether with a view
to its close analogy to educational
processes Is uncertain. Perhaps 1t is
too much to say that the best frr'it
Of the educational vine is produced
from its original source; that what
comes of schooling is something quite
different from the apparent result at
the source; that the best things man
or woman does are very different from
the particular. or nOnparticulerized
thing. he or she Is directly taught TO
do. We are turning to the business OF
making our schools show quick fruit

opine that the pupils who become
