Germany In Wartime.

While the German people have al

kaiser's ambitious project which Is so
significantly described by the popular
slogan: Deutschland uber allies T.
when the great war, which was to
achieve Germpny's aims, commenced,

Germany was 20 pronounced that In
some cases 1t approached the hdlcrous.

The jubilntion with which the news

pelins In their raids OIL open towns
evoked similar demonstrations.
That the views which the people
held regarding the conduct Of the wal
were strongly Influenced by the public
press, which was absolutely controlled
by the government. was only to be ex-
pected. The fact that In peace time the
press Of Germany was perhaps the
most reliable In the world. made of II
q particularly valuable tool In the
hands VI the government In time OF
war.
The German newspaper Is gospel ia
the people. The last word In any argu'
ment was always furnished by proof
supplied by some newspaper article
"Es steht In der %zeltung." literally
translated. "Tbe paper says So" was
always final and conclusive. Nothing
the papers dec)h-cd was too preposter
ous to be believed.
The press was used to excellent ad
vantage to conceal reverses and b
make the utmost capital out of sue
cesses. Right from the start the news
papers declared that Germany wal
fighting a defensive wal that the ma
lions of the world had Jumped 'OI
Germany's neck because they wer'
Jealous Of her growing power.
The Importance which the kaise
and bis leaders placed In public op!n
Son among the German people IL clear
ly illustrated by the announcement
they made and the measures they re
sorted to from time to time, for hom
consumption.
When In December. 1915, for In
stance. the kaiser realized that the re
sumption Of unrestricted submarin
warfare. which he had sdetermine'
upon. might bring neutral nations, In
clc5ing the United States, into tn
war, he felt that 1t was necessary I
do something to uphold the spirit o
his people. II took the form Of u pre-
posal of peace 20 the allies.
This proposal was designed to az
conplish two distinct purposes: Firs
1t was to convince the German peopl
that their kaiser was really the peace
lorIng monarch he had always pre-
Tossed to be second. 1t was to demol
nl,ze the allies by dividing thei
axaiust themselves.
THIS much is certain: The kalse
never intended the allies to accept tn
proposal he made. He admitted thi
much to me. as did also tn
Prince Won Pless, his most intimat
advisor. 1t was termed In such a wa
that the allies could not possibly a
cept It. But II served-one Of the pu
poses which It was intended to achiev
and nearly accomplished the other.
