NOME, ALASKA. MARCH 28, 1917.
WHAT ARE GERMANY'S TERMS?
"Our enemies have dropped the I
mask," says the German Emperor in )
the proclamation to his people issued j
recently. If the Allies ever wore a 1
mask it was dropped months ago. The i
objects they seek to achieve by the
war, as defined in their reply to Presi
dent Wilson, have been many times
proclaimed by their responsible states
men. If there remains anywhere a
mask of concealment Germany wears
it. She h;is made no clear avowal of
the purpose for which she carry’s on
the war. She is no longer fighting for
national existence. Her Generals and
her statesmen declare that her exist
ence is secure, se cannot bo overcome,
she cannot be crushed. Emperor Will
iam is overhasty and disregards the
facts when he says in his proclama- j
tion that the aim of the allies is "the >
crushing of Germany, dismemberment
of the Central Powers and enslave- (
jrient of the freedom of Europe." He !
is confuted by the note replying to the
President, in which all the allies join.
They say that if it is their wish "to
liberate Europe from the brutal covet
ousness of Prussian militarism, it has
never been their desire, as has been
alleged, to encompass the extermina
tion of the German peoples and their
political disappearance." Her exist
ence being assured, what is Germany
lighting for?
She Is no longer fighting to secure
domination over Europe, that object
has been put forever beyond attain
ment. From the inescapable necessity
of the case she is compelled to assent
to one condition laid down in the
Allie's terms, the abandonment of the
great idea of Prussian militarism.
The greatest of Germany's designs the
chief object of her military territorial
and economic ambition, was the plan
for the reorganization of Middle
Europe and Western Asia, the zone of
her dominance and control ex'ending
from the Kiel Canal through the Bal
kans and Constantinople to the terri
tory served by the Bagdad Railway.
That involved the continuance of Tur
key ns a European Power, with the
concomitant privilege of massacring
Armenians and other helpless peoples
who may chance to offend her. Is
Germany fighting for that? Is she
prepared to say to the world that Ger
man Kultur, that civilization which
she has boasted of as superior to that
of the rest of the world, is to achive
its aims and be based upon the preser
vation of Europe's horlble plague
spot,upon misrule, unspeakable cru

I city and massacre? Is Germany will
t ing to say that the peoples of the many
I countries she would bring under her
sway in the execution of this design
have no lights which she is bound to
respect, that she will ride them down
as she rode down Belgium?
Even If she still cherishes that am
bition and would make the barbarous
avowal, that would be no cause for
continuing the war, because her dream
■ of Middle Europe is as impossible of
: realization as her dream of dominating
all Europe. It would be senseless and
revolting to set up an impossible object
as a reason for continuing the war.
But the great purpose of the Allies is
a just peace. "That which they de
sire above all," they say in their reply
to the President, "is to insure peace
upon the principles of liberty and Jus
tice, upon the Inviolable fidelity of in
ternational obligations with which the
Government of the I'nited States has
never ceased to be inspired.” Can
Germany fight on against peace based
on. justice, a peace which all the
world outside the Central Powers
firmly and conscientiously believes to
bo Just? The three great nations of
the world which have the most and
best reasons for desiring permanent
peace are England, the United States,
and Germany. They are industrial
and commercial nations and war is
the greatest foe of industry an com
merce. What oth'-r object within her
hope of attainment can Gi rmany now
[ put above peace, imediate peace, that
would leave her free to repair th.v
waste of war and engage once more
in the honorable competitions of com
merce?
It is time for Germany to drop the
mask, as the ICaiser has said that the
Allies have dropped it. It is beyond
all question that the prolongation of
the war cannot serve the interests of
the German people. Their need of
peace is ex'reme, they must be deliv
ered from present suffering almost too
great to be endured from the peril of
fifinancial collapse and actual starva
tion that is now so near. If the war is
to be continued it will not be by the
wilt or wish of the German people, it
is by another class, not by the people,
that the resolve to continue the war
will be taken. If it is the dynasty
seeking to save its. If, if it is the mili
tarists class that casts its sword into j
the scale for further war, then we
know who wears the mask. Ger- '
many’s existence is no longer at stake,
it is secure; domination over Europe,
the Middle Europe design to thrust
the wedge of German power and con
trol between Europe and Asia un
equally out of the question. Germany
is not fighting for those objects, since
she knows that they are unattainable.
She will keep on fighting, if she does
keep on fighting, to save the dynasty,
i
to preserve the Prussian military caste j
from overthrow and destruction. For
these ends the rulers o# Germany will
continue to shed blood of Germans
in torrents, they will waste her sub
stam , will pile upon the shoulders of
those who survive the war the burden
of a debt that unless repudiated will
crush them as surelj as the might of
their foes could crush them. No mask
of pretense ever concealed a more
dreadful reality, it does not and can
not conceal it, the greater pari of the
world already sees the truth, all the
World must soon see it. It is a futile
concealment, from which there is no
escape hut frank avowal or an aban
donment of the purpose.
The London financial correspondent
of The Evening Post says: "It is be
lieved that Tuetonic Powers will con
tinue to press for peace, but they may
wholly spoil their chance by mere cun
ning diplomacy. Straightforward
dealing, with the cards on the table
is the only way to end the war.” Any
other tactics would lie wholly useless.
Germany proposed negotiations for
peace, quite independently President
Wilson inquired if the warring powers
could not state their terms in a form
making it possible to compare them,
with a view to beginning negotia
tions, and the Allied Powers did state
their terms with the utmost frankness
and maniested sineerety. Germany
will forfeit all she retains of the good
opinion of the world if she fails to fol
low their example. It is for her to
state now the real objects for which
she is fighting, which is the same thing
as stating the terms of peace. Cards
on the t ilde is the rule she must fol
low. or the world will be forced to
conclude that her purposes are so sel
fish, wicked, and contrary to the gen
eral interest that she dared not avow
them. There is no honorable or safe
escape from the obligations that rests
upon her to say now whether she is
resolved to continue the war because
she refuses to accept “a peace upon
the principles of liberty and justice.”
