sponse. What wa (halt next have In
iaso th Otrmin la ready to surrender,
la a formal request made of the presi
dent or mad of th Allied govern
ments, collectively, for an armistice.
. It la trot that tha Germane have
mad thalr appeal to th president
and not to Marthal Koch, but It I
equally true that th president hai
bee aaked to act merely aa th mes
senger to tranamlt to all th allied
governments the German requeat for
an armistice, and that th president,
,llke th xoutlve of all other gov
ernments, will not aot upon th Ger
man proposal ear upon th advice of
Marshal Foch.
Let us be perfectly clear at th out
sat that th requeat for an armistice
la a military matter, to be acted upon
In the light of military Jndgment. Our
armies are advancing; from the Mouse
to th aea; th German has been
beaten In every encasement for four
months, and hla axmlea are being
poanded to pi, I this situation
he asks for a aaMmn of hostilities.
Th answer majH that there can be
a oessatlon of hoa. Utas only when he
compile with th oondltiona which
would result from a continuance of
th struggle and threfor are within
th right af th victor to deramna.
In th present situation these con
ditions are, obviously demobilisation,
eraonatlon of eonquared allied terri
tory and arreament to the occupation
of genuinely German territory, not for
nnrnnMI ararrandlzemant. but as a
guarantee of tha latar compliance of
ma uermmii iw numi .......
clalons of tho allied countries In th
matter of peace terms. On the map
this meana th permanent evacuation
of Franc, Belgium and Ruasla, to
gether with Alsace-Lorraine, and the
temporary occupation by th allla of
tha left or west bank of th Rhine
from Holland to gwltterland.
Now, the German gesture means
one of two things. It either meana
that Germany la prepared to surrender
or is seeking to repeat her success of
1916, when har peace offensive broke
th home fronts of her enemies and
nearly won the war for her.- We may
reason that It la a genuine pursuit of
peace, beci use the military conauions
of today are ao different from those
of 1916; but we have no rlirht to as
sume that It Is an unqualified appli
cation for peace until It fa revealed
to be such by German tender of ap
propriate guarantees. It Is nothing
more than a "scrap of paper" until It
Is secured; there can be no other ae
curlty than that of territory.
We are In this situation: We have
all been attacked, and we have after
four years reached the point whare
our assailant asks u.uto "let .jip" on
him. We have got him down and he
la rapidly becoming helpless, but If w
do 'let up" now he may be able to
fight again, and we may be unable to
fight again, ana we may ne unaum
without new and even greater efforts
and. sacrifice to compel him to comply
With our just demands, wnicn are mat
ha should pay for the damages In
flicted, for our Injuries and restore to
us what he haa stolen from us recent
ly and ta th past.
All thla la Foch's business. It Is not
funking peace; It la not settling the
ajueatlon of permanent peace. It
m only miking aure that peace can be
arranged it is only maKing sure mai
we era not again lace to race wun our
ld foe. when he has got his breath
!nd hla strength back and finds him
self on a convenient line 01 aerense.
ft Is easier to continue tha present
fight than to begin all over again; we
Miv wA o 1 tint hav tn
oavn vuv " - -
jbegln all ever again by insisting upon
guarantee.
Th first step la clear. W can not
negotiate with Germany; we can not
.talk with our foe In arms; w can not
do anything hut demand that as the
rlc of Interrupting our military
(operations ha lay aside all of his
weapons. Thla la unconditional sur-;
render; but there la no other kind of
surrender, and our enamy la not
beaten until he surrenders. Anything
else would be a sham and a subter
fuge, a loss of all that we have gained
by fighting. j
If Germany la beaten. If her pro
posal flows from her defeat and hi
r.wide In good faith, she will romjil).
he will surrender. If l( Is not niatlu
In good fitih. then she will realm; but
her reiUtan.-e will be on the battle
field, and w can deal with that easily
and completely. Hhe will s!mpl
choose to protons; tha conflict a lltlla
sr.d have her aword struck from her
hand, that In at!. Next week or next
)ear she will have to surrender and
we shall have lost nothing
liut If he surrender and agree
unconditionally to theme terms which
Marshal Koch mint dictate, terms
which cover what he retard nn the
iiereaaury military Insurance against a
new Gorman resistance, then lae mili
tary expect of the problem will be dis
posed of. Then and only then will It
be nw!l'!e fur ux, the allied nations,
to discus among ourselves the baala
for peace. With Germany we shall
discuss only the details of ths appli
cation of thone term, after we huve
.mrmunA nn ths tiirml thamaalvea. This
Is where Mr. Wilson end his "four-
teen points" come in, not a moment
before.
We must be clear about all this.
Terms of peace settlement have noth
ing In ths world to do with au armis
tice. They do not beonS' matters of
dlHcuoxion until the lighting Is over
and ths military derision had. They
can not be mentioned by the enemy
until he has conquered or surrendered
Two contestants msy agres to a truce
to endure while peace Id negotiated,
but this Is neither sn armistice nor
the condition which now exists. There
Is no question of a nettotlated peace
todsy. We are all agreed aa to this.
We mean to have a military decision
and then an absolutely untrammelled
application of allied peace conditions.
Therefore the matter is still In Koch's
hands and must remain there until
the military phsee Is dlnposed of. Af
ter Foch, President WUson can par
ticipate, but obviously, unless Foch's
work Is done completely, there will be
no chanca for the president of ajiy
on else to begin the construction 01
nilri
W may for a moment assume that
Foch has oompleted his work and
that the Germane have agreed to sur
render unconditionally, to evacuate
the rerlona they have occupied, and
have consented to an allied occupa
tion of the left bank of the Rhine
Then we come to the question of
peace; then the terms of permanent
ttlamant must be fixed by all the al
lied natlona In conference, each with
equal right to be heard and to have
lta will accepted, were is ins puini
at which Mr. Wilson's "fourteen' con
dttlons at last arrive.
But of these fourteen condition we
shall see at once that not lees wan
five have no bearing In a peace con
ference. We are to meet to fix the
conditions which are to be exacted of
Germany; they ar conamona oasea
upon the deeds of Germany and her
allies; they have been summed up as
conditions which must Include resti
tution, restoration and guarantees.
But five of Mr. Wllson'a -points con
cern the organisation of International
society after the war; they deal with
open covenants, freedom of naviga
tion, tho removal of economic bar
riers between nations, .adequate guar
antees for the reduction of armaments
and finally the constitution of a league
of nations.
Tnu sra not matters which are
properly before a conference engaged
in the task of making peace with a
beaten enemy. We can not Impose
any of these things upon Germany;
thr have no value save as voluntarily
accepted principles and we nave to
Impose on uermany si mv
things which will not In the nature
of things be accepted voluntarily. We
can not reorganize t orld relations at
the same time we are liquidating thla
war. To undertake thla would be ab
surd. One more condition Included In
Mr. Wilson's fourteen, that dealing
with colonial readjustments, la equally
out of the discussion, and for the
same readme. We can discuss what
disposition we ehall make of German
colonies, certainly, and we shall; but
this Is another problem entirely.
Now there are left of Mr. Wllson'a
"points'" eight, which are Indubitably
to be put before the allied conference
which makes peace term. These are:
( l ) The evacuation of Franc and the
righting of the wrong done in 1871;
1 2 i The evacuation of all Russian ter-
(S) The evacuation oi oeigian

tiers on proper line; (T) Th bestowal
upon the Turkish fraction of the Ot
toman empire of a secure sovereign
ty, and upon the other subject na
tionalities of security and the oppor
tunity for autonomous development;
(I) An Independent Polish state
should be erected, including all re
gions Indisputably Polish and possess
ing; secure access to the sea.
New, through all these term there
run aeveral clear principles. The
president demands that the Germans
shall retire from .all their conquests,
and by Germans he means the central
powers . He asks that In all cases the
conditions of July, 114, should be re
stored. Now. there la no longer any
need to debate this point; the allied
victories have settled the fate of Bel
glum, France, Italy, Serbia and Mon
tenegro so far as they existed In ltl.
We may dismiss from the reckoning
all claims once advanced by Germany,
and still pressed, last January, when
Mr. Wilson made hla momentous
declaration.
But the president supplemented this
demand for evacuation by a claim for
reparation In the sense of restoration
so far as Belgium la concerned. Here,
too, no debate la conceivable, and
there la revealed In the German press
a' full recognition that Belgium must
he Indemnified. But what of France?
When the president spoke there had
been no such recurrence of destruction
and violence aa haa now turned north
era France Into a cinder heap. Cer
talnly there must be an indemnity for
all this, and the president's words In
dicate his belief that wanton damage
shouLA-be paid for.
We may, then, place at one eld as
beyond debate the two principles of
evacuation of occupied territory and
Indemnification for wanton Injury of
all aorta, whether the territory be Bel
gian, Italian or French. We may ac
cept aa fundamental facts In discuss
ing peace the determination of Mr.
Wilson, speaking for this oountry. to
compel the Germans to make restitu
tion of stolen territory and restoration
In the case of property and wealth
either stolen and removed from Ger
many or laid in ashes by German
"terrlbleness."
But the application of thla principle
Austria and the Balkans. Mvre he Is
plainly moved by the same underly
ing notion. He meanu thai the vari
ous nationalities shall he HKnuied the
right to live their own liven In accord
ance with their own customs, faith,
language. But bsbk i January, 191s,
there have been nasuiV changes In the
east and south of Europe, largely the
result of the Russia i revolution and
the German actions expressed in the
treaties of Brest-l.ltovnk and Buc

More than thla, in the JftulUana Bul
garia has surrendered, and there re
mains no problem for settlement be
tween the Balkan states which is
properly before any world conference
As to Russia, evacuation of all of
Russia now held by the Germans dis
poses of the first problem; the creation
of a free Poland, Including all of the
Polish-speaking tribes of Austria,
Russia and Germany, erects a barrier
between Germany and Russia and
eliminates the' Russian phase from Im
mediate discussion. We may assume
that It will be the mission of the allies,
not of Germany, to aid In the restora
tion of Russia to sanity and prosperi
ty; but since we Insist upon the re
tirement of Germany from all Rus
sian territory Finland, Lithuania, the
Courland, Poland and ths Ukraine
this phase la not of Immediate mo
ment, Actually th question now arises,
What shall b the verdict of the allied
world with respeot to Austria T Shall
we still act in the spirit of the presi
dent as revealed in January, or In the
light of the subsequent action of our
government and all other governments
since T Obviously in the latter fashion,
and this means the absolute destruc
tion of Austria. It means the erec
tion of a Ctecho-Slovak state, includ
ing Bohemia, Moravia and the Slovak
regions of Hungary. It means the
creation of a Jugo-Slavlc state. In
eluding all the Austro-Hungarlan ter
rltory bstween the Drav, the Ann.
atlo and the new frontiers of Italy
east of Trieste, this state to be united
with Serbia and Montenegro on the
south. -
Instead of one nation there win
then be four, the German-speaking
provinces of Austria, the Hungarian
sDeaking regions of Hungary, Jugo
Slavla and fecho-Slovacia. In addi
tion, the Italian-speaking districts
will fall to Italy, ana tne Koumanian-

pressed In the conquost and devasta
tion of countries attacked by Germany
and Auntria, the abolition of certain
wrongs surviving from 18(4 and 1871,
In the case of Italy and France, which
belong actually In the category of the
more recent crimes, and finally the
liberation of subject races and frac
tions of races all over Europe and
Asia Minor, and thus the removal of
all the more familiar causes for all
wara. One these things hav been
written Into a treaty of peace, then
Mr. Wilson has formulated a program
for the organization of the already re
organised world on the basis of a
leaarue of peace. Hut all programs for
times before the present war. And
the Berblan grievance was one of the
cause of the world conflagration.
Finally, nowhere In Europe haa th
persecution of a subject race been
more brutal than In the Polish circles
of Prussia. To turn the Prussian
Pole back to the old slavery would
thus be to do violence to all the
spirit of the president's declaration.
Such, briefly, is Mr. Wilson's pro
gram of peace, aa modified by events
which have occurred since his Janu
ary declaration. It divides itself Into
when constituted, and are not details
in the restoration of peace at the pres
ent moment.
Having aald these things, I return
now for the moment to the discussion
of the more immediate question, that
of peace. Does Germany mean what
she says or Is she conducting a new
and even more daring and gigantic
peace offensive designed to do two
things, to create discord among' th
nations fighting her and to deprive the
leaders of these national of th sup
port of their own publics, while rally

Our greatest peril now lies In think

the words of the German when these
words are not translated Into corre

It does not seem likely.
W have come to the most critical
moment In more thkii four years of
struggle. We have won the war, we
hav beaten the German, but we have
not yet reacnea ine point wner we
can safely accept hla verbal assur
ances that he desires to make peace

ance by the German of the faot of
defeat, ahort of his consent t th ex

tory, we can not safely or wisely eon
sent to an armistice or permit our
selves to believe our labor are at an
end.
We can not forget that th German
attacked the civilised world four year
ago and In defiance of all hi written
and spoken pledges. We can not
forget that for four year he haa con
tinued to disregard all pledge until
th moment when hi armies were
beaten and all chance of a victor'
peace escaped him. We must act with
this knowledge In mind; we must de
mand Immediate guarantee which

Prance and Italy, on the other, as1 to
the necessity for a return to each of
it own. then there Is an end of the
alliance against Germany; there is a
i reopening of th war, witn every pros
! pect of loelnv It; for neither Francs
I nor Italy will consent to an armistice
In advance of the restoration of what
is rightfully theirs. It seems to me
that all of us Americana should from
the very outset of all peace discus-'
..loua Insist in our own minds and
h ought that three things are lmme-
i .ntely necessary to demonstrate Ger
man good faith. First, the evacuation
of territory taken during the war. Sec
ond, the evacuation of certain other
territory, specifically Alsace-lorralne
and the Trieste and Trentlno districts,
which are quite a properly bases for
an evacuation as Champagne and
Venetla. Third, a pledge to restore
ravaged and ruined provinces and
cities, this pledge to be acoompanied
by proper guarantees, of which the
occupation of the west bank of th
Rhine is the most essential.
With this brief statement J shall
discuss th questions which involve
France, Italy and Belgium, ir uer-,
many Is not prepared to comply with
the Irreducible minimum which I
have Indicated, not on of the western
European nations will consent to an
armistice. I do not think that there
is any more reservation in his declara
tions with respect of Alsace-Lorraine
than of the Italian Irredenta. I do
not believe that there is an American
who can read Into the president's de
mand for th "righting of th wrong
done Franc la. 1871" any other mean
ing than that what was then stolen
shall now be returned. Nor 40 I be
lieve, In the wholly remote contingen
cy that such reservation did exist, that
the oeool of th United State would
1 agree with th chief executive. On
the question or Aisace-Lio trains, ine
mind of the American people is made
up, and It is mad up In th sense
which th French mind Is mad up.
All th principle -hlch Mr. Wilson
has - subscribed to and eloquently
championed in recent months would
go into the discard if th wrong of
1171 war perpetuated In 1U. or, for
that matter, la Ills.
Wa have, in aaaition, to eonsiasr
to which Bessarabia, a Roumanian
eoeairinar Drovince of old Russia, has
already bv voluntary act united itself.
Finally, the Pollsh-speaklng regions
of Galicla win naturany go 10 mai
Poland which Mr. Wilson has already
outlined as Including all indisputably
polish landa What ' remalna, the
Iluthenlan portion pf Galicla, could
most properly be assign.d to the Uk
raine, to which it belonsi racially and
linguistically. Roughly speaking,
then, Austria falls Into seven parts,
four constituting independent states,
three being united to the Italian, Rou
manian and Polish etatss, which ad-
Join. A modified solution, wnicn ex
tended no further than the sesston of
the irredenta- to Italy, the Polish dis
tricts to Poland, the Roumanian re
gions to Roumanla, the Serb prov
inces of Bosnia and Henegovlna to
Serbia, is the only alternative, but It
seems hardly an alternative aner .
