CRAFTY KAISER IS
PREPARING NOW TO
LAUNCH PEACE PLAN
I»y Paul Lanceister
PARIS, Nov. 10.— The kaiser and his fellow conspir
ators are at this moment preparing to launch against the
allies the subtlest, but at the same time most powerful
blow since the original one struck in the summer of 1011.
The fall of Riga marked the downward swing. The
collapse of Russia leaves the way clear. Only by the clev
erest work on the part of the remainder of the allies can
the blow be panned, for it is now practically certain that
what Wilhelm II and his junkers aim at is nothing less
than enlisting, by a crafty stroke, the public opinion in
allied nations to bring about what they desire.
And what they desire, on one word, is peace.
Such is the meaning of the Russian debacle.
On its face the proposition appears not only supreme
ly impudent, but impossible. In reality it may be very
simple. The Intellectuals in Russia feared this thing be
fore the Czar Nicholas abdica' d his throne. For a mo
ment it seemed that the new democracy might ward off
the danger. Then chaos came and opened wide the door,
leaving the great empire—-or republic—absolutely at the
mercy of her enemies and ii cidentally brought to the al
lies as a whole the greatest danger they have had to face
since the start of the war.
Before Christmas the kaiser is almost sure to pose
again as the one great apostle of peace. He will try to
bring about the end of the war at the expense of Russia,
and the Balkans. Of that 1 am convinced after what I
heard in Russia and amongst Scandinavian neutrals. His
offer of peace will be the most velvety thing ever seen, the
cunningest piece of Michiawlism that was ever put forth
to trap less wary souls .
The next few weeks will see Prussia reaping in Rus
sia the harvest for which she has been preparing inten
sively for years, and more especially since 1911. This
country of 170,000,000 people is now threatened with com
plete open subjugation to her southern neighbor of 70,000,
000, who has had her in more or less secret subjugation
for scores of years. When the kaiser has Russia just
where he wants her, his peace bid will come.
The bid to be expected will fall upon the world about
like this:
"What an awful, awful thing this war!” the kaiser
will say. “1 have never wanted it. From the very first it
lias made my heart bleed to see the flower of the world’s
youth march away to battle, to become cannon fodder.
Why, oh, why, can’t we get together and stop all this
slaughter! I grieve for the French and the British and
the Italians who have died in this horrible war. And poor
Belgium and Serbia and Roumania! How deeply I pity
them.
"Some courageous figure, strengthened by Almighty
God and armed with a sense of righteous duty, must offer
himself as a sacrifice. I am that man. Speaking for my
people, 1 am willing to give up conquest, won by the steel
hard will to victory of my brave soldiers to pave the road
to peace. I will even give indemnities.”
In short, the kaiser is likely to offer to yield—on pa
per and apparently—practically everything that England,
France, Italy, America and the rest are fighting for in
order to put an end to a war which slowly, but surely, is
strangling the life out of the central empires. He is like
ly to put his peace proposals in such a pious and sancti
monious light that the great public of the world may be,
for a time, absolutely taken in.
He is counting on the public failing to recognize that
Germany has Bulgaria and Turkey absolutely under her
thumb; that Austria has become a vassal state; that Ger
many will demand all her colonies back in return for get
ting out of France and Belgium.
Such a peace would mean that Serbia and Roumania
would come out of the war entirely at the mercy of the
central powers. Any treaties signed by the present Ger
man government would not be worth the paper upon
which they were written, and a “world made safe for de
mocracy” and all such phrases would still be as sounding
brass. And last of all, Russia is under the German thumb.
Summed up, Germany would come out of the war mightier
than ever, her prestige higher. When she threatened the
world would tremble. Her navy would be intact and a
new merchant fleet added to what is left of the old, would
place her far and away ahead of all other countries in the
sea-borne trade.
The peace at any pricers and wear-wearies in allied
countries have given him his cue. It is up to the public,
rather more than the government, to frustrate him.
