One aspect of the peace forecast is
that biuiii.1 lots called tor ttuomel'
million men.
In forwarding the text of Germany's
peace proposal to the nations of the
entente, Fresment \t ilson aid not
make the mistake of giving any uu
Vlce. He can make me latiuenco of
tins couttiiy tell at a later unit uium
opportune time.
In war, soldiers are the pawns
with which the lea<ler3 play. "Give
us another million uiea to lose to '.lie
enemy so that we may gain a little
ground for our king, a little reputa
tion for ourselves” say the genera's
of every nation, in peace, human be
ings uie Still the pawns. ”1 have
converted the lifetime labor of a
thousand men, women und children
Into luxuries lor my family,” many a
respected mill-owner could truthful
ly say.
Attention Is calledf to the fact
that Germany is in far more favor
In the united States today than sue
was nearly a year ago when her
agents were blowing up ships which
Were loading munitions at Isew folk
for the allies. These ships were en
gaged in a perfectly legitimate busi •
ness so long as they were in American
Waters. If Germany could catch them
on Uie high seus that was her right,
liut the invasion of America by her
hired muidererB was quite unolher
mutter, tu Gei man eyes, of course,
hay, action., Liucce und the rest were

ers and nothing else. Tney should
have been nung. t-nson Was too good
for them. However, times have

tinue. All men must teel this. Ger

France can do no more than she is
doing. Englund has gamely culled
for unolher million men. We think
the British authorities must know
that unolher million und still unolher
would not result in driving the Ger
mans buck mure thun u score or two
of miles. And whul would the gtin
of even a hundred miles on the
French front be, compared with the
loBB of u million or so more of cour
ageous Englishmen as the price for
this land If not even more were re
quired judging by the Somme dr've
when nearly a million men were used
up to gain a paltry nine miles. X11

it haruly seems possible after the
rcmurkubie demonstration to the su
penoruy of the German allies in Hou
man,a that they can be beaten le
gaialeds of how long llie war lasts,
un tile other hand it is uol likely tiiat
Germany can even make a gain on
the west Hunt. Ucre and in Kuspa
she seuns destined to lose slov ly but
steadily.
The war, then, apepurs certain to
euu in u utuuivitn. T ne leaders on
both sides and doubtless millions of
Others who are on the ground know
whether this is so. if they do know
it to be so they are bound to con
clude peace, it some of the nations
sail think victory possible they will
want to light on. They will stop only
when they and that victory does not
await them.
The Germans have seemingly made
up their minds that they can not win
the war. They have put aside tis.ir
pride and are willing to give up Bel
gium after having annexed it. Gor
mans no longer talk, so tar as can be
learned, of the punishment they are
going to inllict on the English. Plain
ly the war has humbled them. Plain
ly they are suliering. This is equally
true of Trance and the other coun
tries involved. True, they bear their
pain well. But pain may not be,
borne beyond a certain limit. Then
Contes lethargy and often death.
The Germans know, (they cannot
win and are ready to end the strug
gle on a basis, in the west at least,
very similar to the status before the
war. it remains to be seen whether
England and Trance still think they
can win. Even if they can, we do
not think thefr victory will be worth
the price they will be compelled to
pay.

Ik cause of the desire to conciliate
public opinion In the oilier countries
ot Spanish America, by the showing
tint Hie baited Slates has no designs
upon Mexico.
Tins pr«»u 'poses that the popple of
Spanish America are as poorly in- 1
formed about the activities of the ad
ministration In other Spunish-Araerl
eun s.ates as are the people of the
United Stules. On the contrary, they
know, as lew people of this country
know, what the administration has
been doing In the Dominican republic
and in Haiti, and know mg thut, their
opinion of Auu'ii-aii policy is that it
is a mixture of cowardice and hypo
ci isy.
In Haiti we have been doing pre
cisely that which Mr. Wilson depre

t. n Magazine .li.um fluid gives a
brief summary or our ueakngd witlt
Haiti anu with the Dom.n.eau repub
i c.
iti the former we have sent an army
which has shot liuuureus ot people,
uisaruied the entire population, dis
persed the Haitian army and refused
to permit U to reassemble, liy farce
of arias we have exiorted from Ha'ti
a treaty giving the United Stales
complete coinrot of the nuances of
the country, both collections and dis
bursements. M e have also set about
the creation of a "constabulary force,"
to replace tile Haitian army, but to
be okicered entirely by Americans.
We have taken control of both the
finances and the armed forces of
Haiti and left that country the barest
pretext of seovereignty.
South America, looking to what We
have done to Haiti, naturally con
cludes that we have failed to do the 1
same toward Mexico, where we have a
thousand times more reason for in
tervention, merely because vve were
too cowardly to attack so strong a
country ns Mexico, and that our al
truistic claims are mere hypocritical
pretense.—1*. I.
