ON THE EXTINCTION OF THE VENETIAN
REPUBLIC. 1902.

Once did she hold the gorgeous East on fee:
And was the safeguard of the West the worth
OF Venice did not fall below her birth,
Venice, the eldest Child of Liberty.
She was maiden City. bright and free;
No guile seduced. no force could violate;
She must espouse the everlasting Sea.
And what if she had seen those gores fade.
Those titles vanish. and that strength decay:
Yet shall some tribute of regret be paid
When her long life hath rcach'd its final day:
Men are We and must greve when even the Shade
OF that which once was great is passed away.
William Wordsworth.

someone starting fight. and makes NJ

Why should the French welcome even
a bloodless revolution in the Rhine
lard?
One might conclude, with no little
plausibility, that the acquiescence of the
French in the separation OF the Rhine
country from the Fatherland tends to
confirm the suspicion that they had I'LL
terror motives for invading the Ruhr
that. instead of the collection of repara-
tons. their object was the political and
physical disruption of Germany. If
there be anv ground for this suspicion,
then it would be logical to expect the
French to welcome any attempt on the
part of a German faction to break up
the nation; it would relieve the French
of just so much work. and stay criti-
cism of France as a predatory country.
When man commits suicide in fear
OF assassination. his enemies cannot be
be hanged for his death; they can be
prosecuted only ii they have threatened
to kill him-and France has repeatedly
disavowed any intention of destroying
Germany.
But there is another side to the pic
ture of possibilities. and on this side
there arc some unmistakable facts. The
French have had no end Of trouble with
the Berlin government since they en-
tered the Ruhr. Passive resistance was
financed at Berlin. And even the Brit
ish, while condemning the Ruhr project.
have deplored the autocratic tendencies
of the German government Just few
days ago David Lloyd-George told
Americans that autocracv was menacing
Europe. and that the worlds greatest
need was democracy.
Irrespective of whether Frances oc-
cupation of the Ruhr is defensible as
either a moral or an economic PROPOSE
ton, it would seem more likely to sue
coed as defensive" enterprise with
the Rhneland republic. However, if
most of the inhabitants of that section
are opposed to the Separatist movement
an assertion contained in some of the
reports-then how could a genuine re-
public be established there?
Moreover, if the activities of the
Scparatists should lead to civil war in
Germany. then any Interior motives
which the French may have would be
served. Still another consideration
would present itself if republic should
be established and maintained in the
Rhipeland. In that event there would
be buffer state between France and
her traditional enemy.
Yet none of these possibilities &C
cords with the notion that the Ruhr
project will facilitate the collection of
reparations.
