time to fire Germans and frghten foreign
ers: to give the impression of united,
determined Germany ready to risk a new
war rather than yield TO terms which had
been published in advance the minimum
allied requirement.
As 1t turned out, the London operation
proved as complete a failure as the sub
marine gamble of the war itself. The Ger
mans had reasoned with correctness, that
the British public was eager to avoid new
military ventures and fresh economic dis
turbances, but they had underestimated the
degree to which the British public still held
Germany responsible for the war and ignored
the fact that it was therefore unwilling in
the last analysis to let Germany put the
whole burden Of the war upon her victims
Did Not Reckon on Britons
Holding All Teutons Responsible
A reasonable proposal, an apparent willing
ness to meet possible requirements, would
have placed a heavy strain upon the Anglo
French relations, because the British MIN
istry could hardly have faced its own public
after refusal, while no French Ministry
could have survived substantial concessions.
Happily for the world the Germans mis-
judged their situation. Before their spokes-
man, DR.. Simons, came to London he had
toured Germany using language at once de-
London he reiterated the substance of his
previous speeches on the home front and
gave to Lloyd George that opening for re-
sponse which the agile Welshman seized so
skilfully and used to consolidate his own
home front Instead of dividing British pub
lie opinion. therefore, the Germans once
more. as so often in the war, deprived those
most kindly inclined toward them Of single
leg to stand on
German strategy thus led to the prompt
redressng of allied lines. Lloyd George,
who has favored moderation steadily for
many months and drawn down upon HIM
self endless criticism In France saw himself
suddenly disclosed as the dupe of Germany.
What he had argued namely that Germany
was in a reasonable mood. that she was
striving to meet the conditions honor
ably. that the war had changed her temper
and her purpose, was demonstrated in a few
brief minutes to have been as completely
inexact as the arguments of other British
statesmen before the war that Germany had
no hostile purpose in view. Once more, at
critical moment the French estimate of the
German was demonstrated TO have been
mathematicaly and psychoogicaly exact.
In this situation nothing was left for Lloyd
George but to return to the French side.
All his efforts all the efforts of English
policy for more than a year, fell to the
ground. Lloyd George, himself was in just
such q position as Mr.. Wilson found HIM
self in, when in February, 1917, the Ger

Always the Fatal Blind Spot
That Kills German Designs

do not believe that Germany will be more
successful in the future than in the recent
past in dividing her enemies and thus
achieving her purpose. In the last analysis
there is a blind spot in the German mind
which always insures disaster TO German
designs. Over and over again during the
war, above all, in the critical days when the
war was just becoming inescapable, that
German blind spot was disclosed The Ger
man capacity for reuniting divided allies by
some stroke of supreme folly has patiently
not been reduced by the experiences of the
war itself And in the end it seems likely
that a new German blunder will have the
cid familiar consequences.
There never was a better chance for Ger
many, by skill, by little real comprehension
of the exact situation in the world, to compel
her conquerors to modify their terms. to put
the French in a position of having either to
diminish their demands based upon justice
as they are, or lose British and perhaps
American support.
There never was a finer chance to exploit
the war WEAKNESS of the world and the
general desire to get back to business and
have done with all that the war had meant.
But given all these initial advantages the
German has again thrown them away be-
cause he could not perceive realities.

from the consequences of defeat and trans
form that defeat into a decisive triumph, or
at least into the foundation for later
triumph.
From the moment of the armistice to the
present hour Germany has been engaged
in a stupendous propaganda man@uvre, an
operation on two fronts-that at home and
that abroad The purpose of the maneuvre

points:
l. Germany was not guilty of pre-
ciotatng, much less planning, the
world war. Her statesmen were stupid
enough to allow her to seem guilty, but
i'm reality she was an innocent victim.
H. Germany was not defeated in the
field Her victorious armies retired to
German soil after her statesmen had
been tricked by Mr.. Wilson's peace pro-
posals and her radicals at home had be-
trayed their country by the revolution.
III. Germany is not bound by the terms
signed at Paris and embodied in the
Treaty of Versailles because she was in
nocent because she was not defeated
and because her signature was eXtorted
under threat of military force.
Now this Is the fashion in which the
home front has been restored and consoli-
dated since l91S-that is, since the Armis-
tice of Rethondes. The German people
have been steadily taught that they were
the victims Of conditions manufactured by
their enemies at the moment when the war
broke that they were the dupes of Wilson
in November, 1918, and that Versailles was
"a peace of violence" without legal or moral
force as a consequence. Thus united Ger
man public has been created to evade all
the terms of the treaty.

At First Stage of Campaign
As PAYMENTS Cover Decades

And it is essential for Americans to per-
ceive that, in any case we are only at the
first stage of the campaign. At the moment
there is discussion as to whether Germany
shall pay up in thirty years or in forty-two
But in either case one must see that for
decades Germany will still be seeking, striv-
ing, planning and manmuvrlng to escape
payment. We may accept it as automatic
that Germany does not mean to pay, that
she Is determined to escape all payment, and
al most only to make such payments as she
cannot avoid.
For thirty years, then. at the least we are
to have these ever recurring crises. For
thirty years, with all the changing condi-
tions of political and economic life, Germany
will remain outside the circle of nations
even remotely content with their position
During all this time her policy will be con-
centrated on the effort to turn nation against
nation, to stimulate international discord.
Granted that during all this time she re-
mains poweress to risk a new war, conced
ing-and it is too great concession mani
festly-that her weakness endures, that none
of her neighbors, Russia for example, comes
to her aid. We have. still to count on re-
sistance which, while passive, is hardly less
potent, with all that such resistance must
mean for the peace of the world, and above
all for the economic order of the world.
One single detail VIII serve 10 lndlcate the
extent of world unrest that we seem in for
during the next generation. Under the
Treaty of Versailles allied troops are to
occupy German territory for fifteen years,
provided the terms of the treaty are fulfilled,
and then to he withdrawn. But Germany
has already violated many of the terms
beyond all debate or discussion. Henceforth
the allied troops may, as a consequence, re-
main on the Rhine indefinitely. And. given
the present and the certain future spirit of
Germany, French troops will stay on the

But this means a prolongation of some II
not all of the conditions of war. 1t means
interruptions to the flow of trade and com
mcrce It means never hidden threat OF
resort to military weapons, IL German
policy continues to invite military interven-
ton by deliberate and calculated evasion OF
the terms of the treaty of peace.
What is the use Of calculating upon
future even reasonably remote in which real
order and business stability will arrive, II
one nation deliberately adopts policy which
insures ever recurring crises and periodical
resort to military force?
What can be the hope of real return OF
peace as long as Germany CANDLES on the
world desire for peace as strong enough to
enable her now to escape from the obliga-
tions incurred by her conduct of the war
and tomorrow, having escaped having
shifted the burden of paying for the war
from the backs of her own people to those
of her neighbors to seek to abolish the
political and territorial consequences by one
more war better planned this time?
And If we see what German policy is and
what it is to be for the future through the
events at London, is it not necessary to per-
ceive also what allied policy-above ALL what
French policy-will be?
Is ii not manifest that, granted that Ger
man effort to divide France from Britain
fails as 1t has so far failed and seems likely
to continue to fail; conceded that the similar
effort to embroil the United States fails,
day will come when it will seem to the whole
world, outside of Germany no longer worth
while to restrain the French, provided such
restraint could be exerted?

The Winchester Sun had this
of a woman we'll known and
highly esteemed here, her former
home:
Mrs. George Gay Prewitt fell
Sunday night at her home on the
Mt. Sterling pike, and was pain
fully cut and bruised. No bones
were broken, however, and she is
said to be improving nicely. Her
sister, Mrs. William Dowell Old
ham, of Lexington, is here to be
at her bedside, and a nurse is in
attendance. Mrs. Prewitt had a
very narrow escape from serious
injury and probably fatal burns,
as she was carrying a lighted
lamp at the time she fell The
cellar steps had been removed
without Mrs. Prewitt's knowl-
edge and she stepped into the
aperture, falling a distance of
eight or ten feet. She was rem
dered unconscious for a few mo-
ments. Her lips and arms were
badly cit and her neck and back
painfully Wrenched.
