tercourSe of minds will bring the re-
alization of the futility of war. The
ideals of race have not kept pace with
scientific inventions, but closer every
day intercourse throughout the world
will make inevitable worldwide friend
ship.
In this dawn of a new age, one great
American statesman, Woodrow Wilson,
has pointed the way to universal peace,
and, even though greatly misunder-
stood in Germany, there will come a
time at no distant period when he will
stand out as the friend of all races and
nationalitieS, and as one who strove un-
selfishly to bring about standard of
natioal ideals applicable to all coun-
tries alike-a polar star by which the
nations of the future will be guided
away from warning destruction. "Peace
on earth, good will to men," the doc
trine first enunciated by the greatest re-
ligious Teacher, is the principle of the
new diplomatic policy promulgated by
a great statesman whose spiritual in
sight and prophetic vision gave him an
unprecedented glimpse into the future;
and for this the present generation
must prepare itself scientifically, intel
lectually, morally and physically The
near future will see barrierless nations
of the world united by the new dis
coveries of science and welded into
united nations through the principles
of the new freedom.

With radio, which also knows no from

President Wilson'S dream Of a
League of Nations is forwarded in a
way that probably he did not visualize
by science in contributing air trans
portation and radio transmission to
the world. The destruction of races
may have dramatic appeal to un-
thinking youth, but the sober judgment
of more mature minds will bring to
the consciousness Of all peoples the
fearful consequences of perverting new
contributions of science to the orgies
of national killings called warfare.
These new developments Of the air

minds of men from destruction to pro-
duction.

Count Kessler was diplomatic Of

Baden calmly announced the abdica-
ton, without waiting for authorization
from the Kaiser personally or from

Dynasties in Jeopardy.
This diary throws light on what
was going on behind the scenes in high
government circles, after Ludendorff's
demand for an arrnistice at any cost
had put the Hohenzollern dynasty and
all other German dynaStieS in jeopardy.
If the war was lost the monarchies had
lost it. Why should they stay, espe-
cially If the Allies refused to treat with
them? The allied demand might have
been met half way 1t might have been
made politically inadvisable by genu-
inc and widespread demonstration OF
loyalty.
But, as these extracts prove, Will
helm II had lost the confidence of all
classes. The monarchy was bankrupt.
Why not let it be liquidated? says
Count KeSsler in an Introductory COM
ment: I'm the following notes the

factor was the recognition by the up
