If you can call that a peace which nmy

Igainst western Europe and America,
Tables Turned on Victors
This is the possibility that looks blg
gost today not a probability, I should
nay, for all the world wnnts pence, the
one thing the Pence Conference seems
incapable of producing. In this peace
of surprises the biggest surprise of all
was for the victors nnd vanquished sud
denly to find their roles reversed. There
is no precedent for it in history.
The 101D German offensive on Paris
began at Spa, when certnin American,
English nnd French commissioners went
there to demand ns victors certain firr
mnn mercantile ships which the Ger
mans, ns vanquished, bad promised to
give them. The Germnns said firmly
"No." unless on certain terms. The
Allied advance guard at Spa fell back
on Paris and, scarcely ns became vie
tors, granted the terms the Germans
had demanded of them !
AH Paris Trembles
All Paris trembled. It has not since
reiiRerl to tremble. It thinks of Sun anil
writes terms ot pence, thinks ngnin of
Spa nnd rewrites, thinks again of Spa
nnd reorganizes itself into a smrtll and
.theoretically highly efficient body and
. goes into hiding. Spa was not fore
seen. President Wilson is, by univer
sal account, a great stalcsninn, who is
capable of sciug farther into Germany'
than nny one else at Paris. lie did
not sceSpa. Ho did not sec the great
German offensive upon Paris in the
year 1019.
A few weeks before be went nway
I from Paris to America, smiling, roseate,
confident. It is currently reported that
i bo said to his friends before, lenving
that the intention of the Peace Confer
ence was to write the treaty -of peace,
invito Germany in and, say to her, not
unkindly but firmly: "Sign here!"
lie did uot see in February that that
could not be done that the time had
passed when an imperative could.be ad
dressed from Paris that would carry
across the Rhine.
This is recorded merely to show how
Immense was the surprise of the great
German offensie of 1DM. The man
who was making thc(pencc ot the world
was taken off his feet by it.
Wilson Caught Napping
How did it happen that n great
Matcsmah like Mr. Wilson, the Ilis
mnrck of the present Peace Conference,
was thus taken off his guard? It hap
pened because of the power of words, a
jiowcf which Mr. Wilson understands
thoroughly nnd uses with, tremendous
effect. Words had mnde him the Uis
marck of the present Peace Conference.
Words made him, forget the essential
difference, between' Wilson in 11)10 and
'ISismnrck in 1871. These words were
'victor" and. "vanquished." Had not
thesu words always meant certain solid
Mibstnutinl things highly satisfying to
the man who could apply the former
of tlicm to himself? v
Was not tradition all one way? Had
not the victor from Itomau days always
conic to towu with u splendid procession
of bouuden captives, magnifying his
dignity and gladdening the eyes of his
fellow-citizens? There could be no
doubt what was the jmport of victor and
vanquished. The, victor wrote the terms
of .peace. The vanquished walked in.
Inlnltl his own head on the ground, picjtfd
up me victor s right toot unci placed It
upon the abased liend as a sign of how
much he liked the peace.

nries of peace. It was such n little
thing, why put the league of nations
covenant in It? The i;cncc Conference
almost broke up into n wnr on this sub
ject. Some snld wisely, "llecnusc wheu
that preliminary gets signed that will
be about all. We shall all beaflt for
home, leaving the professors to do the
rest."
It was a great discovery. The pre
liminary treaty ot peace Is the real
treaty of peace. The. trouble, with it
wus that it did not go far enough. In
these fast times the real treaty of peace
is the armistice. The rest of it is a job
for the professors, or should he. The
mistake Mr. Wilson made when he
thought cheerfully "of making Germany
"sign here" was in uot realizing this.

great German offensive of 11)10.
What importance nttnehes to the Ger
man threats not to blgn the peace treaty
being made nt Paris, which have sent
shivers of dismay down the spine of
Moyd George nnd Wllsou? The Ger
mans have pnid that they would uot
pay n big indemnity, although this is
the barest point In England and France.
The nmount of reparations has been
left blank nfter the claims of the British
nnd French representatives on this com
mission have, been steadily whittled
down from SlOO.OOO.OuOOOO to n little
more than $20,000,000,000.
Germans Block Claims
The Germans have snid they would
not sign a peace which gave Poland
Danzig nnd n corridor across Germany.
And the Poles, nt this writing, are not
goiug to be granted their full claims.
The Germans huve smcl that they would
not sign n peace thnt alienated nuy
German territory across the Ithine. And
the French claim to the Soar Valley was
speedily, converted into a claim for coal
from the Saar A alley to compensate
them for the loss of French coal through
wanton German destruction of the mines
of Ins. .
Every time "llernstorff, Brockdorff.
Scheidcmann nnd Erzbcrgcr spoke.
Wilson and Lloyd George revised their
peace treaty, which was being written
nlwnys according to the most .sacred
principles of justice. In this process
the fourteen points were rediscovered.
Their rediscovery was one of the amus
ing incidents of the recent days of the
conference.
In Kurope
House Uses Texas Methods.
While AVIIson was away Colonel
House nrrnnged n peace. Presumably
he kept Wilson informed about it by
cable. House is used to trading real
estate in Texas. Wheu you have real
estate in Texas you have no fourteen
points. You plough a few furrows and
call it n street: you nail up u few sign
board and your street is named. .You
print a map and you call it Houschurst,
and you sell it as a flourishing town
to the fellow who hasn't got time to
look at anything but n map, or who
doesn't cure, because he Jnows there
is a market, for tlie .world is full of
people with faith in maps.
Wilson's absence wns the mnp-mab-ing
period of this" conference. House,
Clcmcncenu and Balfour made a map
and called it "peace." The wtst side of
the Ithine, split off from Germany,
achieved "Freedom," the first two let
ters of whicli word were likely to bc
retniucd by it, the others being changed
in course of time to "ancc." Poland
got a highway across Germany, splitting
im- uiupiiu in iwu puns.
1.
Wilson Was Lcqlent
Sir. Wilson was a 1)1!) victor. He
wns willing to uhato this ancient cere,
mouy. The vanquished would walk in
The victor would thrust a fountain pen
at him, indicate a dotted line and say
bign here." all in his (the victors)
own good time.
Whntcvcrybody forgot was that with
ev.ery day (hut passed after the sign
ing of the armistice the power to "sign
here" lessened. When the armistice
was offereJ, with a guu at Germany's
heart, with a million men within a week
of capture, the Allies could say und did
cay, "Sign here," Hut with the ces
nation of hostilities the armies began
In disintegrate When Bismarck and
his predecessors made pence, the will
to fight wus in the head of the state.
Thnt was enough. Toduy the will to
light has to be in the army Itself or in
ithe nation itself. No pne cuu uow re
unite war upon Germany.
New Kind of Victor
A victor today is .something different
from 'u victor a generation or two ago.
It ho wants to assume the effeetivo pose
of the past he must put ou his patent
leather Bhoes at ouce, to use the
vanquished head like n bootblack's box.
No time Is to be lost. .The ngo is too
ijuick for triumphal processious or fori
pence conferences,
A cynical parson snid tlte other day
he was sure there would ncrcr bo an
other great wur not because of the
league of liMluus, not because the
world would not endure another great
vynr, but because It would not stand
another peace conference. At leuM
jtlicro ueicr will be another pence cufl
' KJefonfe. like this one, '.
O 4f Conference Almost Ilrulietr
Ki
Look for "14 Points."
Lloyd George was away during this
Texas real estate period of the con
ference. So was Wilson. Wilson
got back. So did Lloyd George. The
'Briton snid this map is not in accord
with the fourteen points. This sounded
to Wilson like n reflection on Texas.
He nros'e in the-big ten and said so.
As tlie author ot the fourteen points,
he protested the right to interpret them.
For a moment it looked as if the Peace
Conference wns going to turn out after
nil to be a wastcbaskct incident.
lou understand bow a wnstebaskct
may upset the peace of the world? When
you, have pup somcthinc into vour
wastcbaskct and regard it as disposed
of and the other fellow digs it up and
reminds the world of It nt uu embar
rassing moment It Is worse than nil
unfriendly net. It It a thing not done
among gentlemen. In past peace con
ferences somebody's mistress wns al
ways the repository of the thing that
ought not be told. In this age of good
morals there ure no mistresses at a
peaco conference nnd the wastcbaskct
threatened to take the place of the mis
tress. X "Near Interpretation"
Tlie record is snid to show that Mr.
Wilson examined tlie thing whicli Mr.
George brought out of Ills' wastcbaskct
and declared that it did not mean what
the Briton professed to believe it meant.
Wo stood on the point of having a new
interpretation of the fourteen points,
which wns likely to be known to his
tory ns the Texas exegesis of the four
teen points, wheu suddenly the voice of
Germany was heard.
Mr. Wilson cast his eye again at the
document Colonel House bnd discovered
In the wustebaskct. He said it did mean
till Lloyd George had said it meant and
more, too. This wns the rediscovery
of the fourteen points.
It is not fair to give tho British
premier nil tho credit. He heard the
voico of Germany a little boouer than
did our President. That Is all. It was
in January that he discovered the four
teen points. Their importance was that
Germany's name was signed to them.
. No Grip on Germany
When llernstorff and his associates
begau to threaten to reject the work of
tho Paris Peace Conference men tlie lut
ter began to cast about for Bouicthing
to hold Germany to. There wns no way
of compelling her to do anything, nt
least while President Wilson wns help
ing to make peace. What bargain could
you bold her to? Well, she had ac
cepted the fourteen points. Then in
terpret them literally, strictly as Ger
many herself might, nnd perhaps you
might couut upon her signing the peaco.
The Texas period of the Peace Confer
ence wns nt an end.
Suddenly a new idea came into vogue.
Tho idea was of Germau inspiration, not
directly, but the men hero casting about
to put themselves in tho place of Ger
many, naturally thought of the German
way of interpreting the fourteen poluts.
Hitch in Polish Solution
Why not put 2,000,000 Germans un
der Poland? It wns necessary to put
Germnns under Polnnd in order to open
tho wny to a real future for Poland, and
not. leave her to fall into the clutches of
Germany. Why not. indeed? Whv.
precisely because it would be nil right
to put 2,000,000 Poles under Gcrmuuy,
Pojund being a small nation nnd never
able to resist nn injustice; on tho other
hand, it would be uuwiso to put 2,000,
000 Germans under Poland because Ger
many is a strong nation and 'would
some day undo this act of the Peace
Conference.
This is official. This comes from
men close to Wilsou. You mention
leugue of nations. You arc told the
league of nations would rather ussume
the responsibility for Poles under Ger
many than for Germans under Polnnd.
'Prudent league of nations, it borrows
the ancient Gcrmnn doctrine of the su
perior right of,grent powers.
Since the German offensive ot 1010
the peace has steadily been made with
an eye to please Germany. All quar
rels have sprung from the difficulty of
pleasing France nnd the business in
terests of England and of pleasing Ger
many at the same time.
Sees Compromise With a Von
Naturally, the arrangement being
worked oiit is n compromise, and per
haps Germany will not accept it after
all. What pressure is there upon Ger
many to make peace? Will fche go
Bolshevist nnd refuse the peace being
written at Paris? The greatest pres
sure upon Germany is her own desire
for peace. Germuny, like all the rcs't
of the world, wants an end to tho prcs
cut situation wants to .start rebuild
ing. Everybody .wants peace. The Bolshe
vist, is .no exception. The Bolshevist
wants peace, Lcninc wants peace. The
new Bolshevist or radical socialist gov
ernment of Hungary wants peace. The
Scheidcmann government wants peace.
Its successor', whether Independent So
cialist or Bolshevist, will want peace.
The only way any government in Ger
many can become permanent is by get
ting Germany back to normal, by re
storing industry, by providing work
and food for tlie people, by building up
the national morale and by reviving) tile
will to work nnd to save. Broken, de
moralized, tending to fall apart, us Ger
many Is, her pcoplo wnnt pence.
World Wnnts Peaco
The desire for peace is the most
fundamental of modern popular desires.
Tho world has the habit of .peace. No
one can feel at homo in a world which
Is not nt peace. Next to food Germany
wnnts pence nnd nny government which
comes to Paris, whether Schcldc
mann's or thnt of some Bolshevist suc
cessor, will seek peace. Tlie quarrel-the
world onco hnd with Bolshevism, m
Russia, was it would seek pence, even
dishonorable peace, when the world
wunted it to make wnr. It is well to
remember thnt when predictions nrc
mnde that Bolshevist Germany will re
fuse to muke pence.
Germany my hold off when she comes
to Paris becadse she bus learned her
power nnd because President Wilson's
recent sending for the George Washing
ton and indicntlng disagreement with
tho Allies have shown the weakness of
the Paris group. It would only be good
bargaining to refuse at first n ml seek
concessions. But In the end Germany
will seek peace whatever her govern
ment is.
Expert Gentian Ilexolt
if the Allies do not make peace with
Bolshevist Germany it will be because
they refuse to treat with Bolshevism and
make peace with It as they have refused
to treat with Bolshevism and make
pence with it in Russia. They can get
Germany's signnture to peace, whatever
that will be worth. What it will be
worth no one can say.
Everybody expects a revolution in
Germany that will make her promise
to pay of little value. Officials hero
say privately Germany will make her
first payment nnd thnt Is all. But a
pieco of paper will have been signed nnd
the Peace Conference is' now so weary
thnt it wants nothing but to get a piece
of paper signed and go home.
Wilsou will 'show it to his people nnd
say it is a league of nations and the end
of nil war. Clemcuccau and George
will show it to their people nnd say it
is a promise to pay their bills. That
excellent Bolshevist, Bernstbrff, will pir
hnps show it to. 'jis people and say it
is a contract with tho devils ot capital
ism nnd therefore immoral and of no
effect. Paris mnrks n stage in things
rather than the end.
