Oct. 24. 191s to Parriet with militarism president Wilson has struck straight from the shoulder into the Teeth of the prussian autocracy. I note of yesterday leaves no room for misunderstanding. Noting to acceptance unreservedly of the president s terms of peace by the German government he lays Dow Ite principle that Germany s of must be left by an armistic a a position to enforce any arrangements entered into and tha Germany must be deprived of the Power renew hostilities. Tha of the confederation or its coasts. 1" the treaties with foreign , such matters As f j2 article 4, come within the i Imper la legislation the approval of the Burie Nosrat shall be re Uther or ratification and the Feauve Kelc Stag to make them the bundesrat has consented to following amendment to article 1 the consent of the Federal Council and the Reich Stag in required for a declaration of War in the Empire s name except in a Case where Imperial territory Baa Al ready been invaded or its coasts paragraph 5 is amended to read treaties of peace and treaties with of reign states which Deal with affairs coming under the competence of the Imperial Law giving bodies require the consent of the Federal Council and the Given tha existence of a Reich Stag actually representative of a Lerman nation that had shown itself to have developed something of the spirit of a free people such constitutional amendments might have some meaning. But the Reich Stag which reverently supports the new candidate for a place among the world s democracies is the Reich Stag which was elected in 1912 which supported the declaration o1 War and which during the War a one puppet Chancellor after another has strutted his Little hour and been withdrawn from the stage. By the masters of the show has yelled the War i the German resistance stiffening the Progress of the Campaign in France and Flanders is supplying abundant evidence that the shorten ing of the Battlefront is rendering the task of the allies More difficult. From a gradual retirement in Belgium the germans would have realized Little immediate advantage. But the abandonment of the whole area Between crowding the German Retreat a Reader s notes a Jrew worst removes the possibility of Militar trickery. The president proceeds to give reason for suggesting to h allies an armistice the terms which Are to be dictated by the Mill j iary advisers of the whole Alliance tis apparent willingness of the German government to Institute de a Cratie government in Germany. But extraordinary safeguards Are required. There Are no guarantees thai the reforms Are permanent or fat Prussia and his military supporters Are not still the Miers of Germany. The latter he significantly the allies cannot Aad will not Trust. The representatives of the German people must be assured of a genuine constitutional standing As the real rulers of Ger before the allies can Deal with the German government. I the desire of Germany for peace sincere the acceptance of the severe Allied terms for an armistice will establish its sincerity. It 1 the military masters and monarchical autocrats still speak in Germany s name and while they continue 30 to must be not peace negotiations but sur behind the smooth and polio phrases of the note the president intimates thai there is nothing More or the German government to say the allies will if Are so Dis formulate the terms of an armistice. Germany s reception o those terms will be proof of it real intentions and of its Desir to make a just peace. Acceptance vill put Germany once and for All out of the War of the allies terms a which it May be assumed will be in effect nothing Short surrender. The and the Scheldt behind which the first considerable efforts to Check the Advance of King Albert s armies Are being has prevented the line from being even temporarily lengthened. The. Real Pivot of. The Retreat in the Northern sector has Butin the town of Valenciennes. Tak ing into account the irregularities of the old line from Cambrai to nieu port the new line from Valenciennes through Tournai and Ghent is seen to be appreciably Shorter if Only be cause it is More direct. Every mile of coordinated Retreat throughout Roux my Semi circular front enables the enemy to concentrate his strength while it allies opportunities for flank attacks. More and More therefore the necessity for undertaking frontal assaults on strongly held positions is being thrust upon marshal Foch s armies and the probabilities of a break through Are proportionately lessened. There can be no doubt that the German High command now Tia s the cd Retreat Well in hand. The Dis Organ by for peace according to the Mill Iza Tion Ita transport services re tary situation and the order of those implacably Tor War or cooed Sweet suiting from the British Victory on the la Gateau front and the creation can we blame our the Frankfurter Zeitung asked but a Hort time ago if they regard the Reich Stag in Germany As merely an ornament and conclude that we Are in reality governed according to the ideas of the eighteenth Cen having in mind All these consid which support suspicion of. Jermany in her new and hastily As fumed role it is interesting to recall hat in 1871 Germany refused to make peace with the existing government on. The ground that it did not represent the people and insisted upon the election of a new Assembly of deputies qualified to speak with the voice of France. Is of the salient North of Lille has been rectified considerable losses have been especially of War material but of the resistance encountered by the Allied troops at every Point indicates that on the whole the enemy has gained by his retirement. These facts do not mean that the advantages which marshal Foch has held of Superior Man Power and the Possession of the initiative neutralized or destroyed. . Etitel the Power to dictate the time and place of each Battle of the ions series which is not yet concluded he can still mass his forces for the offensive with greater ease than the enemy can enjoy in meeting his at tacks.

That peace there will then be no alternative to a peace dictated after an enforced surrender. Refusal will indicate negotiations Are futile. The British armies have been Able to make Good Progress into Valenciennes along the Hank of the Hilly wooded country East of be Cateau which forms the watershed Between the Western flowing Rivers and the valleys of the Sabre and Meuse. In Belgium the Scheldt forms a formidable obstacle though it is unlikely to be Long tenable by the enemy owing to the British Advance to Valenciennes. Here the Retreat be the squandering of huge probably to the line of the anything by intr Effort to the utmost. Critical and the answer must be me be Corn this message is to us As Well. To relax our Effort in the Field or at Home is to prolong the War and the prolongation of the War for a single races Are fighting. This tendency is reflected in an outstanding manner in several Fea Tures of the report which lord bal four of Burleigh. Presented to the British government. Having taken As the starting Point in its investigations a Survey of the general position of British Industry and overseas trades in. 1913, the last Complete year of peace lord bal four s committee found that an examination of a comparative state ment of the Trade statistics of great Britain term any and United states bore to use the exact words of the report to the strength and vitality of Brit Industry As a. in this to Day Means treasure and the loss of Senne from Antwerp to Brussels.

In the British capital Germany in ue.uockat1c the efforts of official Germany to persuade the people of the Allied countries that the government of Kaiser is still the head Arf is still supported by a Reich Stag that has Given willing support to every move which the autocracy has made since the War is now democratic m and spirit Are not Likely to be successful while supported Only by the line sounding assurances to be found a Jie latest German note. Before Germany can expect the treatment that would be accorded to a demo Cracy the supposed new spirit of her people must find some More convincing expression than these designed garments of paper in which the sinister figures of her familiar leaders now posture awk Wardly upon the diplomatic stage. The word of convicted and habits ?1 liars is the Only evidence we now have that in Germany the destruction has been accomplished of every arbitrary Power that can separately secretly of its own single Choice disturb the peace of the it is Tnie that a certain pm usability is Given to these Assur fences by legislative acts but it is yet certain that these acts Are wore than a disguise hastily Assum made to meet the.
