THE WAY OF The HUN.

Three months ago, seeing what coming the leading
Huns prepared themselves and their countrymon for to
days situation They resorted to that curious anima-ke
mixture of fawning and effronry which distinguishes the
German from all other races This trait is difficult to de-
scribe but one of its prominent characteristics is in
ability to realize that its assumed changes of mood are
naked and exposed to beholders Like Calban the Ger
man groves while he and is always atributing his
own besalty to others He will cover, but he will also
bite and only when physically bound will he fail to DO

three months ago. ho German people must cry out like
one man in iron protest that will be heard and respect
ed on the Seine on the Thames and the Potomac.
Baron Won Richthofcn democrat" said:
President Wilson carries the chief weight in the ne
gotiations. AS regards the league of nations we
must go with him through thick and thin. For the
rest our procedure at the peace conference must be
purely defensive; me must insist that Wilson's four
teen points shall be carried out We certainly shall
not sign straight away. After few months the en-
tente will no longer be in position to resume the
war.
Count Won Brockdor Rantzau is pursuing this pol
icy at Versailles He has already sent two communca-
lions to NJ Cemenceau it is reported, in which he COM
ans that Germany is required to subscribe to the league
of nations without becoming member of it and that the
peace treaty violates the Wilson fourteen points He is
playing for delay.
The Germans will strongly object to the loss of theil
colonies and will make counter propositions was plainly
indicated three months ago by Matthias Erzbcrger Ger
many cannot agree even to any Observation-Disclosures of
he German colonies" he said 'uness the whole colonial
possessions of all the powers nternaonalized" That
is Caliban's ogic-"Treat me as an equal that | may
murder you"
"Our only hope was in President Wilson," cries por
ion of the Hun press land he has forsakcn u.s." Don't
be too sure that Wilson will be able to protect YOU" said
he Cologne Gazette three months ago, adding:
Who knows yet what is really inside Wilson? And
who knows that Wilson is strong enough to enforce
his will? Wilson is only among many, and he is
not sperman Moreover even if he had the will and
the power to stand up as Germany's advocate, he
would be exposed to a parayzng suspicion of
seemingly partisanship through the behavior of his
German worshipers. More self-respcct gentlemen;
little more backbone and above ALL little more
international psychology!
Comment on this Hun advice to the Huns is superflu
GUS 1t speaks for itself.
What is coming? Obviously, PREACHERS peace. The
allies are imposing hard terms upon the Huns notwith
tanding their hope that President Wilson would shield
hem He has permitted his desire to restore peace to
obscure the fact that the Huns be stripped and tied
and made to grind the mill for few years to pay in part
or their crimes. This only be done by force the
immediate availability of force, for the enemy will turn
traitor to all his pledges and guarantees the moment he
ean wrigge from his throngs.
League of nations, commissions understandings, agree
nents-there are mere words to the Hun whereby he
hopes escape. He will protest and kill time to the last
BREATH narrowly studying the allies to if their military
force is weakening When he must he will sign anything
to make his pledged work stencil to the world
at the first opportunity. Washington Post
