GERMANS MUST AGREE TO PACT OR FACE ARMIES

Every Known Trick Used by Del legates to . Get Concessions From Allies. BY FRANK H. SIMONDS Copyright, 1919, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate PARIS, June 4. The German response to the allied terms of peace carries with it no surprise for those who hare followed German maneuvers In the last three weeks. - In , presenting the Germans with the terms, the allies granted their enemies a period of two weeks, which was subsequently extended by one week, to discuss in detail the various provisions. It was not the intention of the allies that the Germans should be permitted to argue as to the justice or Injustice of the terms, but merely to discuss the machinery and method. Germans Discuss Principles. The Germans, on their side, have affected to believe from the beginning that they were entitled to a peace ar

rived at by negotiations, that they

were not defeated, and that they were entitled to all kinds of immunities and privileges flowing from their Interpretation of the fourteen points. They had assumed from the beginning to talk In the tone of injured Innocence

and to appeal to precisely those principles that they violated during their

days of prosperity.

The answer that the Germans have made Is both defiance and appeal to those elements in allied countries which they have always succeeded In deceiving, and have invariably been

able to mobilize In their own interests, They are endeavoring to save them'

selves by precisely that liberal faction of the world which they have assailed

from the beginning.

Among the provisions of the treaty

of peace are certain clauses demand

ing that Germany shall surrender the territories which she took by violence.

provinces Inhabited by Poles, by Belgians, by French, the booty of suc

cessful Prussian war waged for aggrandizement from the days of Fred

erick the Great to those of William II. Germany demands that In each of these provinces, taken by force of arms and ruled by tyranny surpassing description, there shall be instituted a plebiscite, which means that the people she has terrorized over long years shall be exposed to new terrorism under cover of self-determination. Effort to Escape Sentence. Every principle that Germany seeks to Invoke she seeks to Invoke with her tongue in her cheek. She is not discussing the question on its merits. She Is making a final effort to escape just sentence by appealing to the emotions of some of the jurors. She believes that because certain Americans and certain British have criticized the terms of the treaty of peace her present tactics will divide her conquerors and enable her to escape. Thus we have come to the supreme act alike in the peace conference and the world war. It is little less than five years ago that Germany violated her own obligations and those binding on her as a civilized country and assailed the liberties of the world. The men who now control her were accessories to that crime. While that criminal procedure prospered they- loudly proclaimed the German purpose to dominate the world and enslave the people of neighboring countries. Today they en

deavor to use the principles championed and preserved by their enemies to enable them to escape the consquences of their crime. The German answer i3 a monument of hypocrisy and an encyclopedia of inveracity. Its authors have defied the governments represented in Paris in the last liope of rousing the people of enemy countries against their own governments. Same Old Maneuver Again. The maneuver is exactly the maneuver of 1917, when the reichstag declared for peace without annexation, while the government prepared for the spoliation of Russia, an operation which ended in the treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The German believes as hi3 action indicates, that allied unity has ceased to exist, that allied need of peace will compel allied statesmen to abandon the just returns of victory and place on the shoulders of their own people the burdens of the German attack. There is not from one end to the other of the German document the slightest suggestion of the existence of a new spirit in Germany. Rather we see the old spirit seizing frantically on the new words of their enemies and endeavoring to turn to their own advantage the principle that survives in this world today only because of the sacrifice of the allied armies. The Germans protest that theirs is a new government, inspired by new principles and led by new men, is a lie on the face of it. The German con

tention that they surrendered their armies, that their armies consented to the armistice because of a willingness to accept the fourteen points, is a cheap falsehood. The German armies agreed to the armistice because they were on the eve of utter destruction.

The fourteen points were kept from

German people by the German government to the very end. In the first week of November, 1918, the single concern of German leaders was to escape the utter destruction of their armies that was impending. They sur-

rendered because they had to. The fourteen points were an afterthought. Action Before June 15. Within the next week the allies will make their answer to Germany. Un

less all signs fail, this answer will contain few modifications and none of them considerable. It will be accompanied by an ultimatum and time lim

it. On or before June . 15 we should j have peace or military' operations in Germany should have begun. If the ! allies consent to further negotiations : now the conference of Paris will unquestionably be prolonged for many months. This circumstance alone should and probably will influence the character of the answer. In sum, Germany has taken her sentence as was to be expected. She has avoided arguments as to the applicability of specific provisions and produced a monstrous work of propaganda designed to awaken sympathy, confuse understanding and encourag9 short-sighted sentimentality. She still hopes to set the United States against France and Great Britain. Her answer is a maneuver pure and simple. She is raising hands still bloody to appeal to precisely that sense of justice which at all times and under all circumstances in the days of her prosperous criminality she despised and rejected. She has wronged every nation about her frontiers by violence. She now insists on a plebiscite before parting with her stolen territory. She has devastated every region she invaded; she now denies responsibility for the war that she

precipitated. She will not have lost the war until this last offensive is repulsed and she may win the war if her efforts to divide her enemies succeed.

Judging from the coukitless preparations and treatments wlilcli are continually being- advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing: arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitrophosphate, which Is inexpensive and is sold by Conkey Drug Co. in Richmond and by most all druggists under a

guarantee or satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with

the necessary phosphoric food -elements, bitro-phosphate should produce a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Increase in weight also carries with it a general Improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. CAUTION: Although bitro-phosphate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness. It should not, owing to its tendency to increase weight, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh. Adv.

MISS GLADYS SILVEY We cannot all be devotees of the great out-of-doors exercise and so the men and women who work In shops, offices and the large department stores often have to pay the penalty of the all-day grind at the bench, the desk and the sales counter.
