 must not yield to the temptation to write a satire on this touching offer but merely note that even In peace times retreats occur which communiques call "regrouping.
 England was obliged to make these concessions to protect her petroleufn hopes and on account Of Esypt anu India But didn't the signers reallze how this extremely differential note. calling in the obligations of SeYres, would react on the other conquered peoples, especially Germany? We hear already: "The Turks were not such patient lambs as we were. h. stead of letting the wool be drawn over their eyes they secretly organ ized their army, sought and found strong leaders far from the capital and foreign control and to their ehlet they gave the powers of dictator. They defeated their neighboring en- emies and now they are handled as gentle by the entente as basket or eggs Let's do the same"
 Germany Different
 The fact that Germany Is not, like Islam, situated on rich soil. while Russia is far from having Frances military power. which. with strategy and military plans, helped Turkey, Is not taken into account nor Is 1t re- membered that dynastic intrigues would not succeed so readily in Ber- lin as in Athens.
 The idea of creating a continental Angora in Bavaria, or Pomerania, or Siiesia, or East Prussia is disturbing some brains from their last shreds of reason The gate is wide open for ambitious princes, generals, admirals and adventurers who imagine them- selves Bonapartes for at the moment the Hohenzollern standard Is some what dropping.

This divine ex-Empe TOT, who, as head of the Evangelical church repeatedly warned against mammon is more business-like in these matters than Lloyd George, who does not keep penny from his memoirs.
 wiIhelm's Book
 Moreover Wilhelm's book, which contains less novelty than can be agreeable to the man who purchased the rights. before reading. requires patience to read and even German patriots find it boresome. Even those will scarcely believe that this Kaiser who ruled more automatically than a Czar foresaw everything rightly, but was prevented from carrying his noble designs by chancellors, since Bismarck was dismissed as a servant, were all his obedient menials.
 The book only completes the pie ture of a vain, untruthful cripple in mind and In body who soon will get the answer he deserves With its ugly profiteering 1t can only add one sean dal to the many, mostly hushed, which have taken place in dethroned royal houses in late years.
