Want Nentrat Zone left
The complete, unanimity ,of opinion In
the German prrsi on thl matter Is an
Indication of iome of the difficulties
which stand between us and peace. It
also shows very clearly why wo must
have ahsolute Guarantees In our hands
before there can be any cessation of ho-
UHtle. The Germans' Interpretation or
evacuation Is a means of KM tin thetr
armies out of an embarrassing situation
and piscine them In a position where
they would rest, refit themselves, and
establish fresh IllndenliurK lines for
the defense of Germany. 1D0 miles
shorter than their preacnt front, tt Is
very easy to see why such proposals
are made, and It Is also easy to see
that It Is a part of a jramc of the mili
tarists to sain time.
Tho Prussian autocrats are flRhtln
for their lles. and while their position
Is weakened by the collapse of I.uden
dorff nnd the extremists. It Is still a
Ionic step from their point of view to
ours. Doubtless they ale hoping that
the publication of the Allied terms will
rally tho German people round them.
Meantime the moral for us Is that wo
nuiRt allow no anticipation of nn early
peaco to Interfere In anv way with the
vigorous prosecution of the war

Alfred Capus. in th Plgaro, writes:
"How much lonirtr can Isolated Ger
many wlthatand the formidable recoil
of the. war ahe caueed? The main fact
Ib that how there Is none, even Germany
herself, who doubts that the hours are
numbered, it remains for us to be
prepared for her last convulsive effort
without allowing; the frightful spectacle
to arouse any pity. Who wpuld daro
urs that the enormity of her crime
should profit the criminal 7"
Commenting on the Turkish collapse,
the. Echo tie Paris fays:
"The event wai not unforeseen. It
has been delayed bv tho presence of
Oerman forces In the Turkish canltnl
and waters. They obliged us to display
a threat of a land and sea offensive. We
are happy to record that In view of the
incontestable superiority of our arms
everywhere the affair was settled with
out a battle. It In the mojt convincing
testimony of the complete victory which
will bo ours In the near future."
Captain Edmund Thery In the Oeuvro
sums up the situation with a quotation
from Martin Luther:
"There" are moments when our f!od
lose Interest In the game and throws
the card under ths table." ' i
trftndonj Nov. 1. The complete iso
lation of Germany as a result of the
deiertlon and surrender of her Allies Is
commented upon here as the outstand-
lifiH'i tfsJSKsisHlj
hit 'feature- of "Alt tsAsst'sWsissmliits'
in ths "colossal arama of Tictory. Tns
effect of this Isolation upon Iter armies,
coupled with the desperate Internal con
ditions In Germany, Is regarded almost
everywhere as bringing the end of the
war very near, although In 'some quar
ters warning Is raised that the' Ger
man army and navy are still In existence
nnd In the hands 'of desperate men ore
formidable and dangerous.
The general tenor of comment, how
ever, Indicates a belief that Germany
must sooner or later accept virtually
any terms the Allies Impose. There Is
considerable speculation as to the ex
tent Germany will be able to oppose the
carrying out of the ferms Turkey has
accepted.
It Is unknown whether Oerman garri
sons still hold the Dnrdanellei forts and
other defenses of Constantinople, while
resistance by the Ocrmnnlicd ItUMlan
Black Bea fleet Is regnrded ni a serious
possibility. Even If the forts are evac
uated, passage of the Straits may not.
It U suggested, be without danger, as
It Is assumed they are still mined nnd
must, In any event, be swept before ships
can pass through.
The Express however, learns that the
location of all mines Is known to the
Turks and that paper believes that when
they undertook to open the Straits the
Turk also agreed to heln the British
to clear the mine fields.
