TEUTONS BEATEN, SAYS JOURNALIST Peace Now Would Mean That Blood of Brave Sons Has Been Shed in Vain Germany is trying to talk to the allies about peace, but this is no time for us to talk to Germans about any thing 1 . Look at the map. 0 So man or woman In the land Wants this devastating war to last a single day longer than is necessary; but peace talk now would assuredly mean that the blood of our best and bravest would have been shed In vain. Germany would come to the con ference table to-day with the arro gant bearing of , conqueror. She would seek to Impose terms. She holds whole kingdoms In her grip, whereas not an Inch of German soil in Europe is in the hands of the al lies. On the map the kaiser bestrides the continent. His fists grasp the twin keys of Antwerp and Constantinople. It is the map which will tell at the peace conference. Ministers in this country, all the experts, all the peo ple who have the habit of seeing just what they wish to see, keep on shouting to the skies that "Germany is beaten." The statement is mis leading. In the sense in which a great chess player can look twenty moves ahead, Germany was beaten almost before a shot was lired. She was beaten from the moment Great Britain drew the sword, because it was at once clear, and has been clear ever since, that she could not pos sibly win.

TUESDAY EVENING, allies up on both main fronts, and | while she can compel us to fight half a year for a mile or two of Belgium, she Is not beaten to a degree which j makes the slightest whisper of peace talk possible. Whining to Deceive Allies Can you conceive what the kaiser's plenipotentiaries would say If an armistice were declared to-morrow? His spokesmen cringe and whine a little in the Reichstag just now in order to deceive us, but their de meanor would change in an instant if we were foolish enough to direct our guns to cease firing. They have trwmp cards in their hands. They would say: "Beaten? The mere sug gestion is ridiculous. Why, we have won! You only consented to talk I about peace because you could fight! no longer. You have been fighting be yond ypres on the very ground where you fought three years ago. I The French line in front of Verdun j is not even where it was in January,' 1916. France says she wants back' Alsace and Lorraine. We won them with the sword; has she been able to j win them back with'the sword? "You talk of reconstituting Serbia.! Have you recovered a yard of Ser-! bia? Italy wants Trieste and the] Trentino. Then why did she not con- i quer them? Your talk of Poland and western Russia is absurd. Poland has disappeared. How can you claim to | settle the future of Constantinople! when you could not advance five, miles toward it? You say you have! beaten us in Belgium. Then why I didn't you turn us off the Belgian coast? We have invaded immense j regions, and in three years you have j not wrested from us much more than ■ the area of a single English county.! We are the victors and the solid j proof that we are unbeaten lies in j the ground we continue to hold, al-. though the whole world is arrayed! against us." ; Suppliants Till Wo ltetake Spoils Of course this would not be a true and balanced picture of the situation, but it is just the picture with which Germany would confront us if a peace conference were summoned now. These considerations shatter the nonsensical contention of the experts that we do not want to win ground. Until we have recovered the lost ter ritories of the allies, until we have stripped Germany of her conquests, we are suppliants. What are our troops lighting for on the Passchen daele Ridge? For ground, for the positions which will enable them to turn the forest of Houthoulst and make the Belgian coast untenable for the enemy. So long as the Germans can offer the resistance they have shown in the little district between Poelcappele and Passchendaele they are, for practical purposes, able to treat on more than equal terms. If we listened to proposals for peace negotiations, the kaiser would very soon unroll his map and point to all mid-Europe from Nieuport to the Bosphorous, striped like a zebra in German black and white, and where then would be the gentlemen who spend their time in the amiable oc cupation of building imaginary king doms in lands which the allies have not yet retrieved? We speak of a reconstituted Bel-j gium, of a France extended to herj old boundaries, of a new and greater Serbia, of an enlarged Rumania, of the recovery of unredeemed Italy, of a resuscitated kingdom of Poland; I but what is the use of talking these things and delining all the wonder-i ful states we mean to create when the one plain and obvious task is to j get the ground lirst? Those who talk of peace now seem to assume that we are to say to the Germans: "Theoretically you are done for. It is true that in three years we have not been able to drive you back even thirty miles, and that you are still holding out; but all our experts have proved to you on paper a thousand limes that you have been overwhelm ingly defeated and therefore we shall be glad if you will consider your selves crushed. If you will accept our verdict we will then decide how you are to be punished." Germany and the gods would laugh 'and we should end with just the kind of patched up peace which Mr. Asquitli I'MS rightly said is "the worst thing that could happen lor the world." Germans Have Map, but Allies Men We cannot talk with Germany i while she is the conqueror and the! Allies are the conquered; and whenj we strip the situation of all pretense,] that is how it stands on the surface! in Europe. The German coloniesi were weak outposts, but on her main j front Germany has conquered farj and wide. We will talk with herj when we have driven her armies out; of the lands they have blighted and befouled; but so long as she has! strength to hold Allied territory shej is strong enough to make a Ger- j man peace. Germany is moving heaven and earth to induce the Allies to discuss| peace terms, for her rulers know the dread alternative. If they cannot en trap the Allies into a peace confer- j encc this winter, their doom is seal-| ed. I sincerely believe, despite theiri brave show, despite tlieir remarkable | stand northeast of Ypres, that their' military collapse is not distant. Tre- i mendous issues hang upon the pres ent operations In West Flanders, which are much more than a Strug-1 gle for a couple of battered ridges. | If the enemy lose the ridges now,, they will lose the coast in the spring,] and when their right band in the; west is uncovered, when the Ameri-I cans are thrusting hard at their line, I when the French are giving their final blows, wlvpn swarms of airmen | are smashing their communications: and bombing the Rhine cities, well,| then we should soon see a smash asl colossal In Its way as Germany's ori-j g\r.nl scheme of world conquest. What the Allies have to do is to keep staunch throughout the winter and never talk to a German except behind a gun. Wo will talk to them on German soil and nowhere else. They have got the map, but the Al lies have got the men, the money, the munitions, the food and the time. There is not too much time, but before very long we ought to have the map also. Just as we can not talk peace with the Germans •while they hold these conquered lands, so we can never talk peace on the basis of stalemate, which is what thc enemv are now playing for. Though we have not made much progress this year, though the Ger man front has been only dented and not broken, there are multitudinous | signs that behind the veil Germany | Is deteriorating like a man In a gal loping consumption. VonKuhlmann may save his breath. The Allies will talk peace when they are victors, and when the frontiers of Germany are ringed round by the avenging armies of the wdrld she tried to subjugate. —By Uovat Frazer, noted British journal ist and traveler, now on staff of the London Times.
