As for the League OF Nations the
marshal frankly sees II as per-

course, to maintain France on tho
Rhine and keep Germany down per-
manently.
Such were Foch's proposals, and
they were based upon the assump-
tion that Germany and France
would be perpetual enemies; that
peace must be based upon force, and
this force, Frantc being weaker than
Germany, must be added to by
America, Great Britain and Bel

that the Rhine was "the frontier of
freedom" a phrase at once seized
upon and twisted to support the ex-
tremist French claims but he dis
agreed wholly with the French as to
how that safety should be--secured.
Their programme meant only new
military alliances, a new and more
terrible and costly era of armament,
and, In the end, more fearful war.
How could "a populous nation like
Germany be controlled permanently
by armed force? How, on the other
hand, could a powerful military
alliance, even Of allied nations, be
trusted to hold a purely defensive
position OH the Rhine?
Militarism as Cause of Trouble.
At bottom, then, the whole trouble
was militarism-whether German or
allied-the military point OF view,
the idea Of force as the antidote to
fear. Instead of seeing these mill
tary sanctions as a way to safety, as
the French did. the President saw in
them just the opposite-more in
security. more fear. more war.
At the same time that Foch was
firing the Big Bertha OF his military
proposals, the President was again

Nations Commission. but in all the
conferences--with the diplomatic as.

Records Of Ozark Period"
While no Official minutes exist, 1t
is, in many ways. as thoroughly
documented rs any period OF the
conference. For the President
saved every memorandum. every re-
port. every letter. that came into his
hands during all these weeks, and
we have them here before us. We
also have the corollary records of
the sittings OF the Council OF Ten
and Five during this period. and
numerous and enlightening reports
OF commissions which were con-
ferring from time to time with the
Four. Some of the members Of
these commissions who were ad-
vising the President have placed at
the disposal OF the present writer
their own personal records, diaries
and letters: and. more important
than any other single source, the
writer has his own written records
and clear remembrance OF daily
sometimes twice daily conferences
with the President, in which the
proceedings of the Four were fully
discussed. 1t Is possible, then. to
present an account, witch Is prob
ably nearly complete, OF what hap
pened.
1t has already been remarked that
the Presidents absence from Feb. Is
to March IA was highly perilous for
his cause. Grave reasons for II, in
deed, existed, but the results were
serious. He had been winning all
along the line before he departed: :
all tho old forces OF militarism and
diplomacy surged forward into con-
troll the moment he turned his back.
and began TO dig themselves in.
When he returned he found his
whole program sidetracked, and at
the same time he had still further to
weaken his position by asking for
American amendments to the cove
nant in order TO unity the support
behind him at home.

Old Orders Mobilization.


While the President was thus
weakened in his position to meet the
crisis OF the Dark Period the old
forces had grown stronger. They
had been mobilizing all their forces
while he was away. they had been
developing and using all the vast
agencies OF public opinion against
the American program--an insidious
campaign to which the feverish at
mosphere OF Paris was peculiarly
favorable. They were now ready to
charge him Gas they soon did with
delaying the peace unless he gave
them the terms they wanted. He
was indeed delaying the kind Of
peace they sought: but they were
delaying still more the kind OF peace
he sought. And thus 1t was that he
came TO grapple with them there in
the dark.
In studying this particular diplo-
matte situation with all the facts in
hand, nothing appears more con-
summate than the skill with which
the French prepared and massed
their attack. AS a strategist Glenn
enceau in diplomacy was more than
the equal Of Foch in war. 1t was
