Germany can shoot in almost any
direction and not bit a friend. While
not ail are yet avowed enemies, prac
tically none but the decadent Aus
trian, the unspeakable Turk and the
perfidious Bulgarian dare speak a
word for the knave of the Teutonic
quadumvirate.
Furthermore, most of the world is
not only against the ITussian des
peradoes in sentiment but is lighting
them or protesting against theit
course, and those now in the stage
of uttering protests threaten shortly
to plnnge into the fray with the other
champions of world democracy.
With American having disdained to
have further dealings with the ar
rogant Berlin government, and on the
verge of takng up force against the
four-ply powers of llundom, the na
tions of Spain .Holland and Switzer
land are also brought into such posi
tions as likely to be in the thick of
the fray soon. The shipping disasters
which have befallen the three Scandi
navian nations may align them
against the madman of Europe.
Those nations some time ago inti
mated their intention to co-operate
with America againts the malignant
menace of the seas. Now comes the
I .at in-American republics voicing
their protests.
Today’s dispatches say some of the
neutrals now Intend to remain neu
tral, but with Germany running mad
these neutrals need only one blow to
make them potentlnl forces for the
allied cause.
If all these nations come out Hat
footed the doom of the military mon
strosity of the ages Is not far off.—
HENRY FORD IN WAR.
As a man of peace the chief differ
ence between Henry Ford and the
average American Is Air. Ford's finan
cial resources. He spent money lav
ishly in what many people regarded
as a foolish attempt to end the vvar
in Europe. He spent a fortune in this
country In an endeavor to defeat

larger appropriations for national de
fense his theory being that they were
not needed.
With one or two hundred millions
at their disposal, many Americans,
whether wisely guided or not, might
easily have used their money as he
has done. The American ^tas the habit
of peace. He regards war as an evil,
generally wrong in itself and ustgilly
unnecessary. He will go a long dis
tance out of his way to escape a
needless fight but no other man on
earth has less fear of a resort to force
when, with right involved, there is no
appeal except to force.
Placing his great factories at the1
disposal of the government in the
event of war and offering to operate
them without profit, Mr. Ford exem
plifies the American spirit. He is
what is called a pacifist. So practical
y all Americans are pacififists. But
they are pacifists of whom nations de
voted to militarism and aggression
would do well to beware.
THE GERMAN DILEMMA.
On August 1 ,1911. the German gen
eral staff was certain that it could
capture Pans within six weeks, beat
France to her kneees, and then, by
an irresistible invasion of ltussin, end
the war in three months.
The plans of the general staff were
so perfect on paper that the fate of
the German empire was staked on
their success. The kaiser signed the
order of mobilization against his own
better judgment .the treaty for the
neutralization of Be;.auyu was con
i' t ted into a scrap of paper and the j
imperial armies set forth to actualize
the German dream of WeilmachL
V ’ .t tne ana of six weeks it was I
not Paris which had fallen but the j
German scheme of world-power. The!
plans of the general staff and tailed, j
and henceforth Germany w as doom-]
ed to fight fat its very existence.
On February 1, 1S17, the German j
general staff was certain that by
tearing up its pledge to the United j
States and resuming ruthless sub
marine warfare it could starve Great
Britain within two months and dic
tate peace. It is the same old story.
In 1911 the general staff eliminated
Groat Britain as a factor in tlie equa
tion. he mandarins "of Berlin were
confident that if Great Britain enter
ed the war at all on account of Bel- |
gium, everything would be finished j
before an effective British army coul-i
take the field, and the British gov
ernment would l>e forced to accept
the terms prop •»> d by a victorious
Germany or continue a disastrous
war to which the British people would
not submit.
In 1917 the general staff eliminut- 1
ed ttie United States as a factor in |
the new equation, it was sure that'
WW L-Al-LULL.. liW!BP»P»"ita
the United States would not sever
cftpotnatlc relations on account of a
return to ruthless submarine warfare.
The German-Americans were relied
upon to attend to that. But regard
less of the United States the thing
to do was to sink everything ,and by j
starving Great Britain into submis- i
sion end the war before neutral op- j
position could be made effective.
The German general staff may have
learned nothing from experience, but
it is evident that the German people
have learned something from their,
experience with the general staff. Now ;
that the crisis with the United States
has come, the German people have
met it in quite a different spirit from
^ that m which they met the British
' crisis. It Is apparent from the dis
[ patches that popular faith in the in
j fallibility of the general staff is now
subject to heavy discounts, and while
the newspapers support the action of
the government, their tone is that of
n ere; and misgiving.
There is nothing to indicate that
j the great mass of the German people
want war with the United States or(
1 believe that it would be worth the j
i price that Germany would have to'
pay . Their instincts are much sound*,
er than the general staff's reasoning;
and today the best hope of peace lies
in German public opinion.
The imperial government is in a
most Embarrassing position .from
which it cannot easily extricate itself.
It cannot back down without abject
humiliation, and it cannot go forward
without diivingz the United States
into the war and depriving Germany
of her last influential friend among
the nations. This is the penalty that
a great government must pay for pre
mitting a military autocracy to dic
tate its policy. If the German people
can be brought to perceive the con
- uences of such folly, their terrible
sacrifices wil not have been alto
gether in vain.—New York World.
