Average American Satisfied.
So long as something is done to the
kaiser, Germany gets it Enthusiastically
in the neck. and promise of repara-
tion is made to the devastated areas,
the average American seems to feel
satisfied with the peace proposals.
But, while public interest has been
focused upon what is happening to
Germany. the assembled statesmen in
Paris have been constructing a new
and astonishing Europe
1t may be worthwhile for Americans
to examine this new Europe. and see
what sort OF an animal il is. Not

the destruction of old ones. and the
new groupings that result are inter-

Six Great Powers In 1914.
One glance backwards, at the Eu-
ropean alignment in 1914. Then there
were six great powers. the German.
Russian. Austro-Hungarian and Brit
ish Empires. The Kingdom of Italy
and the republic of France. Other
states mattered only as a cause of
jealousy and quarrels between the
big fellows. Germany and Austria
were allied against Russia and France
Italy was nominally tied 70 the Gen.

would support them in war, while
Britain, although bound to Russia
and France by a vague understand
