SEES \ NEW CHANCE
TO WIN THE WAR.

All of which should make il per
fectly clear what the German Is now
up TO. He sees plainly a new chance
to win the war. He has only to es-
cape paying the costs of his devas-
tations deliberately 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 resources 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 and neutral countries
whose idealism or congenital blind
ness make them the easiest victims
of his new propaganda. Above all,
he must enlist American sympathy
and American support, and 1 do not
think l eXaggerate facts when l say
that he is making substantial prog
ress in this direction in certain
American quarters in Europe. The
German begins his campaign by ac-
cepting without cavil the most eX-
treme idealism anywhere to be found
and then goes ii one better. He &C
cepts Mr.. Wilson'S IA points and,
having swallowed them, he proceeds
to interpret them. He accepts the
league of nations principle; having
accepted il, he undertakes 10 annex
it. He proclaims his enthusiasm for
peace and justice, healing peace, and
then he proceeds to outline it.
Consider the fact that this same
German one year ago demanded the
right to annex Belgium, Serbia and
Poland. TO take half of northern
France, and TO enforce indemnities
which would have put this world in
economic bondage TO him for a cen
fury. He wrote all his purposes into
the treaties OF Brest-Litovsk and
Bucharest, where they remain
matter Of record. This was what he
undertook 10 do when he felt him
self a victor only Il days less than
IL months ago

PROPOSES PRINCIPLES
LATELY SPAT UPON.

I
But now, the war lost, he appeals
before the world in the name of in
ternational justice that none OF his
territory, whatever the desires of the
population may be. should be taken
from him. He characterizes the
French desire for French Alsace
Lorraine as wicked imperialism. He
characterizes French and Belgian de
mands that he pay for wanton de-
struction as a proof of the desire to
destroy Germany. He meets every
just demand for reparation and res
toration by a new accusation, ap-
pealing with ever-growing vigor to
precisely those principles which he
not only rejected but spat upon in
his day OF power.
The thing goes very deep. The
German meant TO annex Belgium be-
cause he wanted il. despite the unan-
imous wish OF the Belgian people.
But today. when the Poles of ST.
lesia and OF Posen ask 10 be reunited
TO Poland. he invokes. falsely. pre-
cisely the same principles which
were invoked Justly in the case OF
Belgium.
And when il is demanded that he
pay for the wrecked industrial re-
gions OF France, he appeals TO the
same principles cited by his enemies
when he demanded, not that they
should pay for devastation. since
they caused Qoae. but for bis ex-

In answer TO their quick questions
she whispered breathlessly:

II Sec'y OF Labor Wilson is anywhere near right in
his estimate OF the labor supply-and to know
q anybody does-there been ground for
fear Of an epidemic OF unemployment
Addressing the conference of governors and mayors
in Washington seoy Wilson said Even busy times
have about 100000 unemployed. Our reports now
indicate unemployment Of about 100000 from the
districts these reports We about the
country Double that figure you only 500 0OO
This seems indicate that unemployment present

actually less than IL used to be in busy times
How this be? The given the secre-
tarys that we are now short in normal
supply OF labor between 100000 and 100000 men
That Is to say would probably need about 4OOO.-
600 more we have. to operate industries
full capacity. This the combined result
OF diminished immigration and the absence of so
many military easily be that
It would take than all the additional coming
home from the army this year make the deficit.
The logical conclusion is that any considerable
amount of unemployment is very improbable. Even a
little speeding up industry will absorb all the de-
modified solders and business becomes anywhere
near normal in the next few months. most business
men expect there will be enough men available for
the jobs
1t is a cheering prospect Lack of an ample labor
supply Of course, unfortunate in that it puts limit
possible On the other hand. work for every
who work is the surest guarantee of pros

So one day the politician store

of the thing, and to find out for him
self who was TO blame, and if pos
sible bring the argument to an
amicable settlement between the
warning factions.

However, the controversy grew in
seriousness, engulfing everybody in
German township and practically
dividing the township into two OPP
posing camps. Mr.. Hubbard's poll
tician friend did not like the thing
at all. 1t was begging to demand
that he take sides, and if he did
that, he was very liable to loose the
friendship and trade Of one or the
other of the opposing camps.

The opportunity presented itself.
The man whose dog had been shot
and the man who was accused of
shooting it appeared at the politi-
clans store. They did not go there
together, but anyhow they were
there. MIR. Hubbard decided that
he would be quite diplomatic and
found an everlasting peace between
the two men.

According TO Mr.. Hubbard's story,
one day a friend of his was accused
by another friend OF shooting the
friends dog, and the politician. be-

both the friend with the dog and
