NEW GERMAN ALLAN

lies withhold aid from Poland, while Germany
clniches the rivets in an obligation that binds
together an alliance that is threatening the
peace of the world and the safety of civiliza-
ton. The plan is not a new one; but it a re-
issue of an old compact, under the garb of Boil
shevism.
Back of the campaign against Poland is Ger
many's attemptto make Russia the ally and Ser
want, and the plan is working to perfection Ger
many is aiding Russia today, just as she lid 'e
Bolshevists to overthrow the Russian govern
ment, which was favorable to the allies, and to
set in it's place another-Bolshevik though it is
and not strong enough to interrupt or destroy
the pre-arranged plan. and today Germany con-
trolls Russia to a greater extent than ever before.
The dream of Bismarck was for a Russo
German alliance, and the vision of that "Iron
Chancellor" who dictated the terms of peace
that were embodied in the Treaty of Frankfort,
MAY 10, 1870 who united the German States
and laid the foundation Of the German empire,
and who was the corner stone of Germany's col
onizing power, is now being realized, and is ap-
pearing to the world in concrete form. Trot-
sky's armies are full of German officers; on his
staff are German Generals, and there is evidence
that Germany reluctance to abide by the terms
of the treaty of Marseilles, and deliver to the al.
lies the war materials stipulated in that agree.
ment is her hope for the future and the perfec-
ton of her scheme.
Already Germany defies the allies, and is
aiding Russia by her refusal to permit the al
lies to aid Poland, through her territory, while
the Bolshevik armies are executing the plans
Of Germany.
Poland is to be crushed or converted, divest-
ed of military power, robbed Of her resources
and Invested of her wealth and intelligence;
that the aims of Germany through Bolshevik
administration, may be accomplished.
1t is senseless to think that Germany is asleep,
or that the "buffer State of Poland will long
interrupt the execution of Germany's plans. The
next development, when Germany has had time
~ organize her forces, will be the avowal of a
Russian alliance, and an alliance with Turkey
and Islam, which has always catered to Ger
many for the purpose of Eastern domination.
For months there has been a knowledge of
negotiations between the Bolshevists and the
Moslems, and the hand of Germany has been
visible in the near East; all over Asia Minor,
Persia, India, China, and where Bolshevik pro-
paganda is working havoc among a people, who
may yet prove to be a real yellow PERIL"
Delays are dangerous; yet there is no unity
between the allies. The League of Nations does
not function, and unless there is a Strengthening
of the alliance and an observance of the terms
of agreement, the Teutonic dream of world en-
pire may yet be realized, and upon a broader
scale than appeared when William II. sent his
legions through Belium to kill, burn and destroy,
that the Hun might inherit the earth.
The empire of "Mittel Europa" failed to be-
come a reality, but it may only have been post
poned. Bolshevist forces have penetrated Ar
menia, where they could not have appeared
Without Turkish assistance. The Turks are ne
g~otiating with the Bolshevists. Persia has been
invaded and the Shah has abdicated in favor
of a republic, probably Bolshevik, and the same
influence in undermining British power in India,
and demoralizing the government of China. So
far as now appears there is a mutual under
standing between Germany, Russia and the ma
tons of Islam against the allies; and it is not
altogether a plan for the future, for activities
have already begun, and it is feared that Po-'
land and the Baltic States will soon be forcibly
included in the combination. The hand writing
is on the wall: Will the allies interpret it cor
rectly?
