GERMANS KNOW HELPLESSNESS, SAYS SIL10NDS

Play for Time Game to Hold Support of People, He Declares. ,v By FRANK H. SIMONDS (Copyright, lilt. bT McClure Nwpa.pr Syndicate) s PARIS. May 1 ?7.--Dnring the last few days the belief has grows in Paris that before signing tbe peace treaty tbe Germans will force the allies to make a military demonstration. Tbe Germans since the receipt of the peace terms bare .been .. carrying on eettre propaganda and agitation against signing. Their purpose, was to produce an impression on tbe world and. on tbe allies that would lead to the modification of tbe terms. This demonstration recalls exactly the movement in Italy on the Flume question a, few weeks ago. ' . ; - ' rTactic Create Puzzle. , But. exactly, as in the. Italian case, popular agitation in. Germany, has exceeded expectations; and, conceivably, the desires of the government, which finds itself In the presence of a general popular agitation against - the treaty of peace, facing the dilemma of refusing to sign and precipitating allied military operations, or signing and provoking a domestic disturbance, the extent of which It cannot forsee. In this situation. Paris believe the Germans may refuse to sign, adopting the attitude of the Russians "at BrestLitovsk. -. Then the allied armies "on the Rhine will be set In motion, the blockade will be renewed again, and when these step have been taken in the presence of this irresistible menace the German government will sign. In signing, it can. explain to its own people that ft has bowed to force. It should be recognized that Germany has no capacity to resist nor any desire to fight The German military machine is for the time being, at least, powerless. In tbe presence of the great and splendidly - equipped and muni

tioned allied armies, the Germans can make no resistance and. any attempt to resist would inevitably mean the transforming of parts of Germany into devastated areas, like those in northern France. But it Is conceivable that tbe Germans, so often mistaken in similar matters, may believe that the allies, faced with the problem of a new military operation, would modify their terms. Workings of German Mind. What is much more likely, however, Is that the Germans believe, first, that to save the domestic situation, it is necessary to yield to force and force plainly perceived by the German people; and, secondly that in thus yielding toforce, they will reserve what at least can be regarded later as tbe right to refuse the terms1ecause he signed them only under military threat. We are not on the edge of & new war, whether the German signs or not. New battles and new campaigns like those of the last four years are out of the question. The occupation of more German territory is possible, but even this is likely to be restricted. Once the allied armies from Cologne to Kiel are set in acton, German capitulation will unquestionably be prompt and complete. But, on the other hand, the German delegates may not dare to sign and go home. The German government may not dare to face the German people, having consented to the signature of the treaty of peace, in advance of a threat of force by the allies. Paris still finds many well-informed observers who believe that the Germans will sign outright early in the second week in June. The storm

of denunciation and threat coming

from Germany does not disturb any

body. There is full recognition of the

fact that Germany can no more resist

the treaty terms than could France resist Bismarck forty-eight years ago. It

is fully recognized that what the Ger

man is endeavoring to do is to make

propaganda all over the world in his

old, familiar fashion, and seeks to en

list in his behalf so-called liberal and

radical opinion of the world, but it is

equally clearly recognized that the result of German agitation at home may

be such that the government, in order

to survive, may have to go through

the motions of yielding to force. . Last Stage of Negotiations.

In any event we are in the last stage of the German phase of the peace negotiations. The German answer will

be in hand May 29. The allied answer

will follow in the next week and with

it will go a polite, but unmistakable request for the final German answer in the second week ot June. If this is

refused, or . Is unfavorable, negotiations will be transferred from the council of four to Marshal Foch. the armies on the Rhine will begin to advance, and then It wijl be simply a question of how tar they, will hare to go before they meet the German surrender party. It remains possible that the Germans may break off negotiations before the end of their time, but this if unlikely because if there be at large popular protest in Germany against signing, there is a considerable minority insisting on a signature, and there s universal recognition that Germany cannot defend herself. Moreover, the hope that the allies would show themselves with a divided ; front at Versailles or betray any reluctance to resort to force, if necessary, has been extinguished by the progress of events. Germany knows now that she is helpless, that her conquerors are united and that the only modification in the conditions of -peace that she can obtain must be obtained by direct negotiations at Versailles, and cannot be attained by passive resistance.

Paris Calmly Waiting. , We have had many periods of profound pessimism in Paris, many acute and dangerous crises. The present situation does not recall any of these. Whether Germany Bigns or refuses to sign is a matter of interesting speculation, but not a source of anxiety. Paris is calmly awaiting Germany's decision, with the recognition that the decision will not affect the situation created by the formulation of the terms, of peace. Whether Germany signs or does not sign everyone knows she does not mean to perform and everyone recognizes that only under pressure will the terms be carried out. The hope of a settlement that would automatically end the condition ot war has disappeared. The prospect

of peace, of conciliation is recognized

to have vanished. During the next fifteen years what the allies get out of Germany will be exactly conditioned on the pressure they are able to exect on Germany, but If there have been any disillutionments Inevitable under the circumstances, the German attitude at the moment and German action in the immediate future do not constitute such disappointment. At least the allies are fully united in the

present emergency. They have adequate power, complete concord, and

are awaiting the German's action with

perfect equanimity.

THINK A MINUTE WHAT is your doctor's first question? - Why docs he sus- ' pect constipation? Because . 90 of. his patients are suffering from ailments caused directly or. indirectly by the action of poisons formed in a sluggish Intestinal tract These body poisons are absorbed by th; blood and carried all over the bo ly until the weakest organ, unable to withstand the poisonous contact, becomes infected and refuses to act rroperly. Unfortunately it is usually i ct untii then that the doctor is conzv.it: d and asked to treat the diseased orgar. The surest way of "purifying the bl-cd and preventing the formation of these destructive body poisons is to :.:cvcnt stagnation of food wsste i . the intestinal tract to prevent c nstipation. C nstipation is not a matter to be taken lightly or neglected. Nr is it either sufficient or safe to take castor oil, pills, salts, mine;.-. waters, etc. , in order to ' 'fore e' ' bowc 1 action. Such action doc s not cure constipation, it makes constipation a habit. ' ' v ' Nujol i entirely different from drugs c3 it does not force or irritate the bo welt. Nujol prevents ttagnatio:-: by softening' t!.e food waste and encouraging the intestinal musclet to act naturally, thus removing the cause of conti'r-tion and sclfpoisoning.
