Year of liKcicpancj between Teuton political pictenses anil Teuton pi.u'tici's comprise an inilittmept of n nation which only the most Mtul evi dences of good faith ciui modify. The. infamous empire of William II went tliioiiLrli the motions of bcmi: a modem constitutional monuicliy after the t.vpe of I.l'Ikiuih, Italy. Humunia and .Spain. War liroke up the mnsqueiade, and ,et even in the eiy crisis of col lapse lepudiation of slinm was delayed. It was typical of the play-acting Kniser to time his c-s.it and to postpone a bona fide abdication until the ptessuie had b" come iriesi.stible. Theie have been tumors of late that leactionniv nlotteis 1 have not leally been aveiso to the I!ol- shcvist manifestations in llerlm in the hope that the spread of red nnaichy might eventually embarrass the Allied governments. . Unquestionably a loathsome tec-oid of (icrmaji lies justifies civilization in scru tmi.iiig with the utmost cine Ceiniau deeds and t.erman announced intentions. Hut, on the other hand, it may be pinfit able to season this caution Willi a tetlo spoct of our own !eiios nnd ,i teali.a Hon of the steps necessary for their at tainment. "We cannot," dcclaicd I'lesulent Wil son in his leply to the Pope on August L'7. 1017, "take the word of the German uileis as a guarantee of anything that is to cnduie unless eplicitj supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and puiposc of the Ge man people them selves as the othci peoples of the wot Id would be justified in accepting." Hepeati'dh the Chief Magistrate, --peaking foi the American nation, re fused to t'onsnlci negotiations with tho "impei ml niasteis of Corman.v," but in variably this decision was accompanied by a conciliatory regnid for any tiuly repie-entative Teuton goveinment th.it might be set up This position was stated with pai ticularly succinct and categoiic.il foice in the leply doliveicd on October It lart to the Gel man peace note of two davs befoie, rollowing tho condemnation of arbitiary povvci is tbi significant phuise: "It lies within the choice of the German people to alter it." 'Ibis change is identified as a "condition piece dent to peace." In the n.ii row sen-e, peace actually did come tlnough the supeiiority of armed might, but m its broadoi impli cations the President's woids n'o di-H rcctly applit.ible to leconstructinn condi tions, To world haimony a self-governing Geim.inj is indispensable. Civili7a tion has ferventl.v longed for it as a guaiantee of secuut. jear ago the possibility of its accomplishment seemed almost fantastically nmotc. Today the outward l'oims of our iIpsiios at It.ist can bo env ingcd. lieiln has had Ihm lominunt, iu up heaval mildi"- in ni.ui respects than the Pans outbuist of 1R71 and jet akin in certain fentuio.. Hotb cities eiiacted the tingie loles of capital, of defeated na tions. The terrorism of the Trench com munauls attained an insensate destruc tive stage, not paralleled by leccnt events in Geimany, and the n action by the Thiers nationalist l'oices proved communsuiatelj blood.v. 'Ihe Piu-Man metropolis seems to have been singu larly patient, while her wildest tadicals raved in words, and to have resulted to force only v hen it was lealized that tho Spartneu movement could be put down sperdilj ami with flnalit.v. The killing of Liebkncclit and ltoa l.ii'.ombourg was apparently due to out burnt, of heated individual passion rather than to dclibeiatu intent on tho part of the i;bert government. Amilo- ' gies with the death of .Inures m I',,, in in l'J14 nia.v be dinvvn. ! If the usuumptuiii, huwever, that the "bloody period" is over h supportable, liberty lovers throughout the world aie plncod in the peculiar position of wit nessing the externals of just precisely ihe ion of political machineiy which they deired foi Geimany at the samo lime that tortunng doulits of German sinterltj aie not jet downed. A mental paradox of this sou cannot be long tolerable. Logic and bitter moinoiies proscribe that Geimany in her ostcnsiblo struggle for demon .icy should be watched. ye4 an attitude of openminded nes on thelnipiocedonted movement now going foiward is assuiedly legitimate. Goimany in the throes of Chaotic Ilol shuvism would, indeed, be cause for ills niav Gennan.v obviously Inclining to the iistointlun of the monaicliy would be a still mote appalling lipeu.iclo. Ks timating by outwaid forms, (jeiinanj, 01 rathfct the Goiman )eojle, is doing wlut all of us, including the Prmidpnt. asked of it in tecentlv. as tbiee months ago. Absolution of its levolung ciimts is not achieved by tins movement, rf collections of hei catalogue of chicaneiy is not effaced, but it niuj peitinentlj bo asked if a nation sinceiely solicitous for oi doily republicanism could proceed, in gencial, aftei a different fashion? It is undeniable that the proposed fed eralued republic, which is also to include EVEXJXU PUBLIC1 IJSmJGK Vienna and the Geimun patts of Aus tiia, will have a strong potentiality. Cential Km ope cannot be obliterated, A nation of independent States could form a mighty league. There Is no less lea son to fear u congeries of governments banded together in sympathy than a gov emmcntnlly homogeneous nation. Hither organization must be judged by the ideals which it puisnes and the extent of populat oxpiession authorized. It is fair to acknowledge the indica tions that Germany for tho fust time in her histoiy is heading for republicanism. Without the lclinriuishmcnt of a single salutary suspicion, her piesent couise warrants commendation.
