THE OTHER SIDE ABOUT
WAR AND PEACE ACTORS
President Wilson Has Won
Another Point
Rule for the German
Colonies. The Kaiser Plotting To
Come Back To Power. American
Troops in Grave Danger.

Latest dispatches say President
Wilson has won out in his fight to
put all the German colonies under the
rule of on international protectorate.
The details of this will have to be
worked out in the conference later.
There was considerable opposition to
this plan by some of the British col
onies expecting to annex and hold the
German colonies. This was one of
the great questions about which Ger
many hoped to create dissention in
the ranks of the allies, and if it is
firmly settled, much progress has been
made.
A great deal of plotting is going
on in Holland and Germany concern
ing the former Kaiser, one report
saying that many of the nobility are
scheming to bring him back to Ger
many and reinstate him as the Kaiser
again. Evidently the delay on the
part of the allies in taking steps
to arrest and try the Kaiser, has Gre
ated hope in his mind that he may
yet return as ruler of Germany. 1t
is said that he has been saving wood
for recreation, and no doubt he is
also Saving wood" politically. 1t
is to be hoped that when the peace
conference has reached his case and
has dealt with him, there will be no
"come back" Certainly the allies
can not permit him to return to
authority in Germany or elsewhere,
as he represents everything against
which the war was waged, and we
believe the German people of all ranks
would be only too willing to accept
him and what he represents again.
We want no more super-men.
Great Britain has put up the bars
against a long list of imports during
the reconstruction period in an effort
to give her factories a chance to re-
cuperate and return to normal con-
ditions. The bar is not absolute, but
a special license is required for each
shipment and it is proposed to make
this act as practical embargo on
the imports listed.
Britain will hold an army of 900,-
900 men during the reconstruction
period, and of course the navy will
not be reduced during that period, if
at all, as it is Britain's arm of de-
Tense, and, all that saved her from
complete disaster before our entrance
into the war.
American troops in the Archangel
region are being driven back, and are
in grave danger of determination by
the forces of the Bolsheviki. The
inhabitants of the district are fleeing
through the American lines in the
direction of Archangel, and tell many
stories of massacres by the Bolsheviki.
AS the situation appears to us we
shall be fortunate if we can extricate
our army there without serious loss,
and success of the Bolsheviki might
mean the total determination of our
soldiers, as we'll as those of the other
allies in that section. We presume
the winter closing of the port pre-
vents the sending of assistance by
sea at this time, but if relief is pos
sible by any means, it should be sup
piled at once.
Strikers throughout England and
Ireland, said to be led and financed
by the Bolsheviki, are demanding a
forty-hour week, and are doing much
to unsettle conditions. They are
said to be acting Independently of
their regular organization leaders,
and great many industries are now
shut down.
