' ' ' * *4? ? i GETTING WISE TO GERMANY. yueaday neutral nation* wen? crying: "How magnanimoua Gea> max. v to offer peace proposals to tlio allioe at the present time!" To dajt thcMj same people are shouting: "A foxy trick; there's nothing . , . * ? ^?^1 i *";?/ * And there isn't. Gonuany's pcace proposals d<Wt amount to & row ?? pins. As ne^jly ** we i-au nee the matter from her point of view* here are the reasons she bal in mind when she made them: "v 1. A desire rr? end the war while there was still a chance for her to poae as the victor. 2. To put t lie responsibility of a eontinuanoe of the war upon | the allies and thus cause sentiment of neutral countries to be againat] them. ? t"| *1* ,0)- j 3. To end the suffering that is going on within her own boun daries beeaii>o .-f the lark of food and other supplies. 4. The wi*h to end the war before the allies begin their great offensive next *prinir, which the Central Powers fear they will not be able to withstand* 5. To ateertain the true condition of the sllies at the present time If a favorable response were made to the peace overtures Germany would then at once surmise that the allies were hard pressed and the chances are that she would find some excuse for rejecting her offer and continuing the war with renewed activity. 6. To enf*4> irajre her soldiers and people with the knowledge that the responsibility of the war does not rest with Germany, bnt witb her enemies. Probably rh^re nre many other reasons, but the above will suffice. Thev show Germany's real motive? with reference to peace. She ha? taken a most advantageous moment for her own interests to propose negotiation?. All this talk on the part of her statesmen about "want ing peace for humanity*? sake" is rubbish. They want peace for GERMANY'S ?akp. and for no other reason. To put it in plain term?. "Germany is all in." She would never have mentioned peace iitiIo?*-* *he ws? beginnintr to doubt her ability to w\n out in tho war. She may ht? able to fight for five or six month longer with apparently the same vigor and strength, but after that she will have shot her bolt. If we were ir. Germany's position, we would undoubtedly want peace to bring find end to the war, but if we were in the plae? of the allies, we would refuse all peace discussions and we would re double the violence' of attacks on all fronts, knowing that Germany could not la.'t much longer and that in a few months we would be able to dictate whatever terms we pleaded. EVERT MAN IT AS HTS RECORD.

"Kid's brow and he was forced to seek reoordf elsewhere. He Wtked about him for a chance to make new record? and he derided that 'he marriage rine offered a* good chances as the boxing rine.
