HUNS SAID TO BE AFTER

used to pay for expected raw materials
from allied countries.

ously military and financial. Germany
has not and cannot for a considerable
time rebuild her army since she lacks
materials nor can she begin new wars
since much of her territory is In enemy
hands as a result Of the armistice
terms. She is powerless, therefore, to
resist allied demands for just repara-
ton and restoration by her W mill
tary weapons.
She is then thrown back on a new
line of action to avoid financial bur-
dens, but with the very plain fact IN
mind that If she can avoid these bur
lens she will emerge victorious from
the war and be able alone of the Euro
pean nations to take up the old race In
ornaments. :,
For it is very clear that II France Is
not prepaid for the terrible havoc
wrought in her fields and factories and
mines by the German invaders, France
cannot both restore her economic life
and maintain her army as OF old. And
II the French army Is reduced the sole
substantial obstacle to German ambi-
ton on the mainland of Europe diSap-
pears, while Britain, with her CONNER
cial fleet decimated by the submarine
M her human reduced by
war, and always less numerous than the
German, cannot sufficiently reinforce
France.
A Chance to Win.
All of which should make it perfectly
clear what the German is now up to,
He sees plainly a new chance to win
the war. He has only to escape pay
ing the cost of his devastations, de
l~iberately undertaken to cripple France
and Britain, and he has won the game;
he will emerge despite his military
failure greater and less exhausted IN
material and human than the
nations which defeated him in battle,
And the way to achieve this end is
unmistakable. He must appeal to the
elements in all enemy n neutral
countries whose idealism or c~ongenial
blindness make them the, easiest vic
tins of his new propaganda. Above
all. he must enlist American sympathy
and American support, and | do not
think | exaggerate facts when | say
that he is making substantial progress
in this direction in certain American
quarters in Europe. The German be
gins his campaign by accepting with
out cavil the most extreme idealism
anywhere to be found, and then goes
lit n better. He accepts Mr.. Wilson'S
IA points and, having swallowed them,
he proceeds to interpret them. lie ac-
cepts the league Of nations principle;
having accepted II, ne undertakes to
