raw materials and markets of the
world on equal terms with our
selves. and will do everything pos
sible TO enable the German people
to get upon their legs again. We
cannot both cripple her and ex-
pect her to pay.
Finally, we must offer terms
which responsible government in
Germany can expect to be able to
carry out. If we present terms to
Germany which are unjust. or ex-
cessively onerous. no responsible
government will sign them; GER

am doubtful whether public
opinion would allow us deliberately
70 starve Germany. II 30, the al
lies would have incurred the morsl
defeat Of having attempted to I'm
pose terms on Germany which
Germany had successfully resisted.
From every point of view. there
fore, It seems to me that we ought
to endeavor to draw up a peace
settlement as II we were impartial
arbiters. forgetful of the passions
of the war. This settlement ought
to have three ends In view. First
of all, 1t must do Justice to the al
lies by taking into account Ger
many's responsibility for the origin
of the war. and for the way in
which 1t was fought
Secondly. II must be a settlement
which a responsible German gov
ernment can sign, in the belief
that It can fulfil the obligations II
incurs.
Thirdly, It must q settlement
which win contain In itself no
.provocations for future wars. and
which will constitute an alterns-
tive to Bolshevism, because II will
commend itself TO all reasonable
opinion as a fair settlement of the
European problem.
GUARANTEE TO FRANCE.
I should like TO ask why Ger
many, IL she accepts the terms we
consider Just and fair. should not
be admitted to the League of
Nations, at any rate as soon as she
has established a stable and demo
cratic government. Would 4. not
be an inducement TO her both to
sign the terms and to resist Boil
shevism? Might Il not be safer
that she should be inside the
league than that she shouts be
outside itf
Finally, believe that until the
authority and effectiveness OF the
League OF Nations has been
demonstrated, the British empire
and the United States ought to
give France a guarantee against
the possibility of a new German
aggression.
France has special reason for
asking for such a guarantee. She
has twice been attacked and twice
invaded by Germany in half a cen
tury. She has been so attacked
because she has been the principal
guardian of liberal and democratic
civilization against central Euro
pean autocracy on the continent
OF Europe. II is right that the
other great Western democracies
should enter into an undertaking
which will ensure that they stand
by her side in time to protect her
against invasion, should Germany
ever threaten her again or until
the League Of Nations has proved
it's capacity to preserve the peace
and liberty of the world.

time being by series Of economic
changes which were inspired by
courage foresight. and high
statesmanship. Even in Russia tie
Gar had effected great reforms
which were probably at that time
even too advanced for the half
savage population.
THE SPIRIT OF REVOLUTION.
The situation is very different
now. The revolution is still in its
infancy. The extreme figures of
the terror are still in command in
Russia. The whole of Europe is
filled with the spirit of revolution.
There is a deep sense not only of
discomfort; but of anger and revolt,
among the workmen against pro-
war conditions. The whole exist
ing order Of it's political. social. and
economic aspects is questioned by
the masses Of the population from
one end Of Europe to the other.
In some countries. like Germany
and Russia, the unrest takes the
form of open rebellion; in others.
like France, Great Britain, and
Italy. It takes the form of strikes
and of general disinclination to set
tie down to work-symptoms which
are just as much concerned with
the desire for political and social
change as with wage demands.
Much of this unrest is healthy.
We shall never make a lasting
peace by attempting to restore the
conditions Of 1914. But there is q
danger that we may throw the
masses Of tho population through
out Europe into the arms OF the
extremists. whose only idea for re-
generating mankind is to destroy
utterly the whole existing fabric OF
society.
THE GREATEST DANGER.
The greatest danger that see
In the present situation is that
Germany may throw in her lot
with Bolshevism and place her rc-
sources at the disposal Of the re-
volutionary fanatics. The present
Government in Germany is weak;
II has no prestige; It's authority Is
challenged: It fingers merely be-
cause there is no alternative but
the spartacists.
But the argument which the
spartacists are using with great
effect at this very time is that
they alone can save Germany from
the intollerable conditions which
have been bequeathed her by the
war. They offer to free the Gar
man people from indebtedness
the Allies and Indebtedness TO
their own richer classes. They
offer them complete control OF
their own affairs and the prospect
ot a new heaven and earth.
1t is true that the price will be
heavy. There will be two or three
years of anarchy, perhaps OF
bloodshed, but at the end the land
will remain. the people will re-
main, the greater part of the
houses and the factories will re-
main, and the railways and the
roads will remain, and Germany,
having thrown off her burdens.
will be able to make a fresh start.
ALTERNATIVE TO REVOLT.
II we are wise, we shall offer to
Germany a peace which, while just,
will be preferable for all sensible
men to the alternative of Bolshe-
vism.
I would, therefore, put 1t in the
forefront of the peace that once
she accepts our terms, especially
reparation, we will open to her the

their onslaught, and then forming

My tent has been up only one

He is a queer-looking fellow, with

In girls schools a needle festi-

Offerings OF cake or other
schoolgirl delicacies are placed be-
fore a stand that is hesped with
needles, at the sight OF which the
young people are reminded Of
their carelessness in losing them.
And to give the hsrd-worked
needles really soft berth for once

expected the bertha to reappear along

neck and short sleeves, in wide ex-

it and is placed at the front OF the

sensible choice for the girl who Is not
INDUCED in a number of such dresses,
since she will not grow tired of lace

lace is more easily freshened than

Autumn trailed the last leaves be-
hind her flying brown robes one night !;
we woke to skurry of snow next
morning; and it was winter. Down
town, along the sidewalks, the mer-
chants set lines of poles, covered
them with evergreen, and ran stream
ers of green overhead to encourage the
festal shopping. Salvation Army San
ia Clauses stamped their feet and rang
bells on the corners, and pink-faced
to display-windows. For them, the
season of seasons, the time Of times,
was at hand.
To certain new reporter on the
Despatch the stir and gayety of the
streets meant little more than that the
days had come when 1t was night in
the afternoon, and that he was given
fewer political assignments. This was
annoying, because Beasley's candidacy
for the governorship had given me a
personal interest In the political situa-
ton. The nominating convention of
his party would meet in the spring !;
the nomination was certain to carry
the election also, and thus far Beasley
