tal-the Ukrainians.
Credit to Austria
at. We must give the Austrians
the credit for having stirred up the
Ukrainians, but the support and the
entire structure came from Ger
many, both before and during the
war. Without US the Ukrainians
would not to-day be against the
Poles. 1t is to the lasting credit of
the 'Ostmarkenvereine' that, even
when the immediate breaking out of
war was not thought Of, they always
insisted upon the necessity of not
taking measures against the Poles in
Prussia, but to raise up enemies for
them in the East, on the borders of
the former Polish kingdom. True,
Russia directed her Polish policy in
our favor and often under our direct
influence, but that might change. At
any rate, the forethought for the
Observation-Disclosures work was,
during the war, proved to have been
excellent. Both Lithuania and
Ukraina refused to become part of
the former Polish Kingdom. Our
active assistance has torn from the
Poles almost the whole of East
Galicia and delivered it to our East
ern partisans. Publications of all
kinds, in various languages, in re-
gard to the Lithuanian and Ukrai-
MAN question will, through US, be
spread throughout neutral and
enemy countries. In certain Entente
countries, especially, naturally, in
America, the sources are those which
form public opinion by general news
on the Lithuanian and Ukrainian
question. The great success Of our
efforts in this territory permits US

# NEVER knew the little town from
which my father came. He had
sought a fortune and found a

wife in foreign country, where
I was born and spent my childhood.
But he talked about his birthplace
SO often that l could see it in the
minutest detail, and it seemed to
me as if I always had lived
there. He expressed frequently, and
with an indescribable tenderness, his
desire to go back there some day.
What he said annoyed my mother,
and l somehow OWNED that he
wanted to make a pious or senti-
mental pilgrimage Of some sort.
Death carried him away before he

except that everything appeared to
me timer than my boyish mind had
represented it to be. There was the
little square, bordered by houses
with sharp and jagged roofs; there
was the fountain in the middle of it
from which the greenish center
basins received a parsimonious flow
OF water; there we're the streets,
narrowed by arcades which sheltered
the darkened shops; there was the

The Last Struggle

lne Last Struggle
1893. AfteraUard ViU follo,o the last
stage, the closing struggle betaoeem
the Continent and the 'Overseas.'
In a sense, all comment on this
letter is unnecessary. And yet GER
tain things stand out strikingly.
First of all, the gap between the
various Entente countries has been
materially widened in the eight
months that have followed the writ
ing of the letter, and Germany's
purpose to take advantage Of this
break down in the alliance between
her conquerors has been disclosed in
her attitude toward signing the pro-
tocol. Second, it is matter CT the
utmost Importance to the world to
recognize the significance of Err
berger's statement: Therefore we
must consider the economic condi-
tions with the Entente, at the time
of signing, as not finally settled"
In word, Germany did not mean to
pay when she knew what the con-
ditions might be. She signed with
the intention Of not paying, and, un-
less Erzberger's words have lost
their meaning, she does not mean to
pay now. Third, the idea held in
America that Germany has lost the
war outright finds denial in Erzberg-
er's assertion that "the present war
is nothing Nelse than! an episode in
the struggle with the Anglo-saxon
race for world dominion; an episode
which has developed in manner
which is not absolutely to our disad-
vantage" In a word, Erzberger, the
leader of the peace movement Of
1917, as late as April, 1919, was be-
ginning again to fall into the Ian
guage of Bernhard and talk about
the next war;" Not less significant
is the assertion: eve have so thor
oughly weakened France that she
will never be able to recover" Bern
hardi said, eve must SO deal with
France in the next war that she will
never cross our path again." Err
berger notes that this part Of the
program has been fulfilled.
But most important Of all in this
sensational document is the discus
sion Of Poland. Poland, says Err
berger, is the real peril. All the re-

Matthias Erzberger, in a Private
Letter, Rejoices in the Division
Among the Entente Nations

F, the German people will do if the
conditions are too severe. We will
rather take the politics Of the day
and make standard by which to
measure the worth and possibilities
Of various possible policies in regard
to the future. For a war which has
not been won, one must pay and
suffer. With what and how? These
are the main questions for us.
80. A fortunate turn has come
for US. Positive demands for terri
tory have grown less whereas dam
age done is taking more prominent
place. Alsace-Lorraine and a part
of the Province of Posen must be
put down as lost, but Germany will
not die in consequence.
The French Dream
"8. The other frontiers, which
were in danger, are in different
position than six months ago. Then
the French dreamed of the annex
alton of the left bank of the Rhine,
the Poles already looked upon West
Prussia, the Mazurian district in
East Prussia and the entire govern
ment Oppeln as part of their future
kingdom. There were Germans, ana
unfortunately not a few, who con-
sidered this possibility. To-day,
however, all these horrible pictures
have passed into the background.
True, the French still want perma-
nent possession of the left bank of
the Rhine, but this is only modest
return Of annexation desires. We
must not forget that from imme-
mortal times, since the epoch of
.Charlemagne, through the eras of
Louis XIV and Napoleon I, up to
the last year of the war, the French
mind has always seen the natural
eastern frontier in the Rhine, and
this Rhine frontier has always had
prominent place in the folklore of
the nation. Poets have sung of it,
historians written Of it.
"9.s~When our nationalist desires
in 1870 Joined Alsace and parts of
Lorraine to Germany, it was not so
much the French nationalist senti-
ments which were struck, as the
Alsatians were of Germanic descent
and speech; it was rather the feel
ing, which had been handed down
from the Middle Ages to the present
time, the conception of the Charlie
magnian Western Kingdom, extend
ing from the Rhine to the ocean.
Behind all the revenge literature
we must seek this underlying
thought Of recovery Of this great
continental power as it had existed
from Wittekind to Charlemagne the
Great, and which German kultur had
VIGOROUSLY joined to the Bismarck
ian and Wilhelmian Eastern King
dom.
40. And now, when the old dream
was nearly realized, the Rhine from
tier will, from principle, no longer
be spoken Of; it will be occupied

rank Discussion of What Will Happen in the Next Wa

until the agricultural and economic
damage done has been handed down
to them, with their present stand,
in order to appreciate the situation.
I'll. The estimate of damage has
become more precise and therefore
more dangerous. We must protest
against it with all the strength and
all the means in our power. We dare
not openly make a difference be-
tween the territorial and economic
claims of our enemies, or the spirit
of the Entente might be influenced
against us. Therefore qce must con-
slider the economic conditions qVith
the Entente, at the time of signing,
as not finally settled. If we to-day
have before us an Entente which is
so greatly weakened in comparison
with last autumn, what will it be in
few years, or in ten years? Will
the Entente then be anything more
than a historical memory?
The ssReal Cause
"12. We must, above all, keep be-
fore our eyes the reason of this war.
It is the struggle for world dominion
between two great factors, the Con-
tinent and the Anglo-Saxon race, in
England and the United States; be-
tween Carthage and Rome. The Con-
tinent against the 'Oversea.'
"13. AS, at that time, the Cont
mental power won, so will it once
more gain the upper hand. That lies
in the essence of things. The strug-
gle of the giants is ever harder and
longer. At this time we compare
ourselves with the Romans after the
Battle of Gamma, when Hannibal
stood before the gates. Everything
appeared to be lost. And yet the
Romans were destined to be victors
in this war for dominion, for the
power beyond the seas had in itself
the seed of death. The Romans knew
this. And it is the same with us.
Germany must remember that the
present war is nothing else than an
episode in the struggle with the
Anglo-Saxon race for world domin-
ion; an episode which has developed
in a manner which is not absolutely
to our disadvantage. On the con-
trary, when we count the gains and
losses, the present conditions in the
world are, from our standpoint, sim
liar, and balance. 1t is true the
Anglo Saxons, our chief enemies,
have been strengthened through this
war. Yet not directly. Indirectly, it
is the contrary. Without France
England is weak on the Continent,
where she (France) is the strongest
outpost. We have so thoroughly
weakened the latter that she will
never be able to recover. After such
q bloodletting, sickness will set in.
The more so since the Anglo-Saxons.
the British as we'll as the Ameri-
cans, are determined to hold the COM
merce of the Allies in their own
hands.
Doesn't Fear France
IA. In spite Of the intoxication of
victory, France, in the coming years,
will be weaker than she was before
the war. At any rate, she will not
be danger to us. Quite different
is it, even if not unfavorable to us.

to hope for attainment of our ends.
What German state philosophers in
geniously created as theories, as we'll
as all that has been brought into
practical being by German politi-
clans, both from Vienna and Berlin,
is still young. The conception of
Poles is very old. For a time
stricken from state dictionaries, it
need only be freshened. It is no
newcomer on the European political
horizon. Most countries need merely
look back in their archives in order
to learn the role played by the
Poles. 1t is different with our new
ly created allies, the Lithuanians,
and especially the Ukrainians. 1t is
an immense gain for us that they
have been created and also that they
not only are not united with the
Poles in policy, but are against them.
But we must not forget that these
young and promising plants must be
we'll cared for and supported if they
are to be further developed. Our
propaganda must not stop for an in
slant in strengthening the self-con-
seriousness of this creation and to
turn it against the Polish element.
This will not rest on single, ener-
getic action on our part. This will
also come into consideration, as, for
instance, the attack on the Poles in
East Galicia, which was and still will
be wisely and theoretically support
ed by US, But the main thing is con-
slant propaganda for years to come.
The signing Of peace, which may be
formally done, does not, of course,
mean an end to the development of
our political ends. The Lithuanian
and Ukrainian affairs will always be
of great Importance to us. It is q
question Of two points of support
for our policy in regard to Russia.
"18.'s In all Eastern questions we
must not forget that they all hang
together and each in itself is merely
a part Of the great Russian problem
for us, just as this is merely the last
step in the account to be settled with
the Anglo-Saxons and toward the
world dominion.

Another Strike at Bethlehem Mine

Word was received here this week
of another good ore strike at the Beth
lehem Gold Mines, Ltd, last Monday
Silver-lead and some gold and copper
ore was encountered in a new shaft
being sunk, at depth of so feet. A
station has been cut and a drift run in
on the new vein.
Manager Beckley states that the
development has been hindered by wa
ter. A temporary pump has been in
stalled in the shaft and already ar
rangements have been made for a new
100 horsepower boiler and pump, a
steam driven compressor and other
machinery with which the company
will be able to hasten development.
The shipping of ore will start early
this spring, says Manager Beckley, as
soon as the roads will permit heavy
hauling.

SMITH FIXES SUNDAY
FOR STUDY OF LEAGUE
Officially Urges Citizens to
Observe the Day.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD
ALBANY. Oct. 16.-Gov Smith to-day
issued proclamation setting next Sun
day as League OF Nations Sunday. He
asks that some part of it be devoted for
reading of the covenant by all citi-
zens who desire this great national
question disposed of In a manner that
will promote the best interests OF the
United States" In his proclamation he
says
I'm our country. and under our form
of government. great questions of public
policy are in the last analysis determined
by the people themselves. One of the
leading issues in the national campaign
appears to be whether or not the United
States Of America should enter the
League of Nations.
There is at present In the country
a great cross current Of opinion upon
the subject. The question should be
settled intelllgently. One factor look
ing to an Intelligent solution Is a know
ledge of the covenants of the league.
A citizen will better do his duty to the
country by acquainting himself with its
provisions. 1t can best be understood by
a reading of it."
Gov. Smith said he issued the procla-
nation at the request of the League of
Nations Committee.
