GERMAN EMPIRE is DOOMED

Fall of German Nation 10
Beyond Doubt.

Berlin. All thinking Germans know
that Germanys days as great nation
are numbered. While official Ger
many still pretends to cling to the for
lorn hope of protracted negotiations,
most Germans believe at heart that
the victors will make short 'shrift OF
yanquished Germany's counter propos-
ais. and there is no possible escape;
that hard peace is inevitable as fate
Germany, however, is running true
to form by refusing to submit grace
fully to the inevitable. This is the
sole significance of the superficial agi'
tation against signing the treaty.
Germany is dying hard. Its death
rattle Is still heard in the hundreds
Of protests against the peace. The alb
iectness of the impotent despair Of
fallen Germany is reflected In thu
hopeless, weak wagering of the talk
alive government between mo- ant
"yes," as the Kreuzzeitung summa
rixes the situation.
