A special cable dispatch to the New York Sun from London under date of Saturday, August 25, says: ' England and France believe Ger may will be unable to. endure another winter V war. The correspondent of The Su, who was recently in France, has seeji proof that the Entente Al lies are magnifkiently equipped for winter operations and do riot intend to allow the Germans any respite but to make the winter's hardships doub ly severe for them by continuing the present campaign. I The desperate state that (lenvany has reached, not only in regard to continuing the war but also the re construction of her commerce and in dustries after the war was unwitting- jirgiy exposed recently through the unintentional laxity of the censors. 'Anxious to prevent revelations of the political situation which junkcrdom and the military party were unwilling ( that the world should knok, the een ,sors tried to placate the radical: bv leiaoiK ocner comments reach print which are vastly more important to the outside world than the details of German political bickerings. Ihe situation revealed is briefly 'this: ' When the Reichstag on July 19 ad opted the resolution declaring for ,peace without indemnities and with out annexation it spoke with the voice :of the great majority of the nation crying for peace, suffering bitterly : and dreading another winter of war with all its horrors, cold, hunger and nakedness. It spoke also for the army which is desperately tired of fighting and is constantly losing battles be cause of the belief of the soldiers that the enemy now, by means of superior machinery, is slaughtering Germans with comparative safety. The army is becoming dangerously infected with the feeling that it no lorfger has a fair chance because the fight has become one of German blood and muscle against the Allies' steel and iron. Her Wealth Spent Chancellor Michaelis khew that the Reichstag represented both the peo ple and the army and he felt com pelled to accept the principle of the peace resolution, but when the jin goes learned what he had done they became viplently angry and the Chan cellor was told that he must recant because peace without annexations or indemnities spelled ruin for Germany. It was pointed out that Germany had spent half of her national wealth in the war and had lost all claim to to the good will of mankind and with it the markets of the world. Ger many could not rehabilitate herself without huge indemnities; all sup plies of manufacturers' materials were exhaustel; there was neither money nor credit nor goods to ex change for new supplies. The country's fiscal system was based, when the empire plunged into hostilties, on the plan to finance the war through loans and at the end of a short, sharp struggle, to exact im mense indemnities or territories suf ficient to pay the loans. This ex plains why Germany has paid prac tically all of her war costs up to this time from the proceeds of loans. It was expected that the war would last only a few months; then, following a complete victory, the indtir.nities would flow in and more than dis charge the loans while the colonies and trade of her crushed enemies would be seized and Germany would be enriched No other plan of finance was deemed necessary; none was provided Consequently, when this failed and the six months lengthened into more than three years with costs far ex ceeding the highest figure that any one had ever imagined. Germany was unable to readjust her system. Every day makes the situation more desperate and impresses more deeply upon the ruling hieracrhy the absolute necessity of forcing a vic tory, no matter at what cost of hu man life, in order to exact the indem nities that might make economic re habilitation possible. Realizing fully this situation, the rulers of Germany compelled Chan cellor Mitchaelis to repudiate his ac ceptance of the reichstag resolution. His action promptly caused such an explosion of popular wrath from the peace-hungry people that the chan cellor had to hedge and promise, that he would accept the reichstag plat form. Now neither side is sure of his real intentions. Probably he himself is equally uncertain and is drifting, awaiting events, which dally are weighing more and more against him. It is believed that Dr. Michaelis is a sane economist and personally would prefer peace soon so as to pre vent a national collapse and utter stagnation after the war but the mil itary class, with the desperation of a gambler who is losing steadily, js doubling the stake with every throw, hoping finally to break even. The German jingoes are on the verge of a precipice; they do not dare to accept peace without heavy indem nities from the allies, they are unable to win victory which would insure the kind of peace they desire. A charac teristic statement of this desperate situation appears in theTageszeitung, 'an intense jingo paper, which denoun ces the Reichstag resolution, and says: j "Such a peace would spell ruin for .Germany. Before thenar German j wealth was between eighty and a hundred billion dollars. Nearly half of this has actually been spent in the (war. Without indemnities there is :no hope' of carrying on. In the first decade after the war, Germany would have to bear extra taxation of $M, 000,000,000, compared with ?825,00l),- 000 before the war. How can a coun try in such a state of ruin as she will find herself, in view of the enormous ly higher costs of living, shoulder such a burden when even half of it would require the most supreme ef fort? "Have the Socialists who prate of peace at their meetings considered how the country is going to care fo; its sick and wounded and pick up the threads of its export and imMrt trad es unless it seizes the opportunity of peace and imposes indemnities suffi cient to meet Germany's liabilities and to purchase from other nations the raw materials necessary to re store her manufactures and rebuild trade connections? Germany is not blind enough to accept fine phrases and a peace of good will' instead of the material compensation that she must have." COL. J. T. GARDNER of First N. C. Infantry POPE'S PEACE ISREJECTED PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS IT WOULD HE FOLLY TO TAKE WORD OF GERMAN KAISER TO GUARANTEE ANYTHING THAT IS TO ENDURE. r IHi lift nr-r -xswamKtw n a f I 1 jl f , 5: Washington. Aug. 2S. President' Wilson's rejection of the Pope's peace Dronosala Is recrnHorl nave maiA V14 wa war Furthermore, it is indicative of the virtual selection of the President by the allies as their spokesman before the world. The note comes as a climax to the remarkable series of state documents in which President Wilson has argu ed the cause of world democracy against autocracy in the high court of public opinion, and accepted more and more by the people of all the allied countries as expressing their ideals. There appears to be no doubt that the United States was selected to make answer before the world, in ad vance of all the others. Whether the entente nations will send extensive replies is not known here. It is re garded as propable that they will in large measure adopt the President's reasoning for thfir own and send notes of endorsement. The general tenor of the Presi dent's reply had been anticipated ev erywhere, but there was no inkling of the forceful terms he would em ploy to say that the world can have no faith in the autocratic government of Germany. Students of diplomacy see in his denunciation of the military autocra cy a fresh appeal to the war-ridden German people to throw off their mil itary masters. Although this appeal probably will not be permitted to become known in Germany until the autocracy has at tempted to mold the temper of the people for its reception by a denun ciation through a government con trolled press of what has been charac terized as interference in the internal affairs of Germany, the hope is that it will fall on fertile soil. Declined to Discuss Peace That the President's response to the Pope's overtures would be a cour teous but firm declination had been generally believed, so that in this re spect at least his communication will cause no surprise. The feature that is certain to fix public attention is the cold determina tion not even to permit the subject Under new orders, each company of infantry will be composed of 'Si men. (. ol. Gardner takes his regi ment with 10 units shortly to Camp Sevier at Greenville, S. C. Under his command will be li.liOO men.

"Mo, san, ne responaeu, "dey does not; but dey suttingly tries hard ernuff." members began ti the pastor he asked. of neace negotiations to be broached so long as the jevil and dominating forces of autocracy and militansr control the central powers. For this reason the President was not to be led into any discussion of peace conditions detailed by Pope Benedict, though that field was made alluring by the Pontiffs adoption of some of the proposals laid down by l President Wilson himself in early ut terances. On the other hand there was no effort to evade responsibility or an expression of view as to the Kaaia rt aAiint anil pnrinrino' riPAPP. In th PrpsiHpnt'n rpsnonse in its concluding paragraphs restates the .purposes of which America entered the great war. The radical difference that appears to exist between the Pope and the President touches this very matter of a stable and enduring peace. The Pontiff looks to the restoration of conditions as they exist before the war, the President turns his back up- n tlioca fonvinreH that, n return to the status quo ante-bellum cou'.d nev er bring permanent peace, j Sounds Doom of Kaiser As one official, commenti.-ig, ex pressed it, the resident's response, (reflecting as it does the views of the entente allies, sounds the doom of I Hohenzollemism and military domin ation of peoples. That this can and should be accomplished without the destruction of the German people is 'one of the striking expressions in the j President's note, when he expressly disclaims any intent to seek punitive 'damages and the dismemberment of 'empires or even the punishment of !the central powers after the war by ! gigantic economic combinations a 1 gainst them. This shaft is aimed straight over the heads of the army-controlled Ger man foreign office at the understand ing and appreciation of the German neoole. already manifesting many signs of determination to assert their right to govern themselves Dy parlia mentary methods.
