GERMAN HEADS IN DESPERATE PEACE EFFORT
Propaganda Used to Spread -Belief That Surrender Was 'Due to 14 Points. : ' By FRANK H. SIMONDS. (Copyright. 1919, by the McClure , Newspaper Syndicate.) '
PARIS, Jane 3 (Delayed). German
propaganda and German public men are making desperate effort, with certain success in. some -directions, to give the Impression that German surrender last November was due solely to the principles ofthe fourteen
points. In other words, the Germans
are attempting to make it appear that their armies and their fleet would not
have capitulated in November had it
not been that the fourteen points of f ered a satisfactory basis for peace. Foe Faced Disaster.
It is essential for Americans to re
member that such a claim is totally fraudulent. In the first week of No
vember of last year, all German arm
lea had been beaten and their reserves
had. been consumed, and Foch was on the point of delivering a new offensive in Lorraine that would have brought a collossal and irreparable disaster.
On the military side the German cause was lost and the greatest military dis
aster In all history was impending.
The Germans had the choice of sur
rendering before this disaster or fol
lowing the example of the Austrians, who a few weeks before had waited for the disaster and seen their armies
dissolve on the battlefield.
A strong Germany on the military side did not yield In November because the German people saw in the
fourteen points any basis for negotia
tions. The German people knew noth
ing about the fourteen points. Like everything else President Wilson bad said and done during the war which might have influenced the German people, the fourteen points were care
fully suppressed by the German censor.
It is nonsense and cheap deceit that the Germans are now attempting to
propagate Industriously. ... Leaders Held Out to Last. The military leaders of Germany prolonged the war to the last moment before utter defeat; when utter defeat Impended they accepted the proposals-of Mr. Wilson because they bad to. They did not accept them in principle. They only accepted them as the sole alternative to ruin. They were not tricked into surrender. They were beaten into surrender. They could not have gone on fighting for , two weeks more without seeing their army dissolve a sthe Austrian army had dissolved. : . Now the Germans are attempting to establish the idea that'they could bave gone on fighting in November and only desisted, to spare the world further bloodshed. They are endeavoring to create the impression that the German armies were never beaten, thus preserving at home the old legend of the military caste, and exciting abroad sympathy. for. a country that was deceived into an unnecessary surrender. ' Final Blow Prepared
If Mr. Wilson had not. made his an
swer to the German proposals or if he ' had rejected them the , Germans would still. have had to go to Foch.
They had no choice. Their army was on the point of dissolution and the final blow was prepared?- But I find in Paris among some Americans, and I
assume the same opinions must exist
in similar Quarters in America, a grow
ing impression that Germany has been
unfairly treated because the fourteen
points have not been interpreted in her favor. There seems to be an Im
pression that Germany was in a condl
tion to bargain with her enemies in
November, that Bhe had made a bar
gain and that the terms of the bar
gain have not been observed Dy tne
allies. But that is familiar propaganda, this maneuver over the fourteen points. It is the sort of thing the Germans did exceedingly well all through the . war," confusing the issue, mistaking the fact, then demanding rights that could only flow from conditions which were non-existent. When the Germans Jumped overboard last fall they seised on President Wilson's fourteen points as a life-preserver. All things considered, the fourteen points have been exceedingly valuable to them but they now perfectly shamelessly assert that because of the fourteen points they were absolved from all kinds of responsibilities. How People Are Mistaken We have marched a long way from
" the time of the armistice, but it is worth while to refresh our minds once
in a while on the actual lacts. uermany did not surrender on account of the fourteen points. She surrendered because she was beaten. The German people did not lay down their arms because Mr. Wilson" program reached their hearts or their heads. Germany capitulated because she was , beaten. There never was any chance ' that the fourteen points would be interpreted to eave her. They have not been and German complaints are the merest eye-wash. The thing Germans are now up to ought to be clearly un(de,niose people who believed that the settlement of this war could be made in such fashion as to remove hostilities between the nations Germany at---v mA fiermany. have realized
In reading the terms of peace that this, m r,t tubmen. " They perceive, as I
have frequently pointed out. that while Germany can not pay all that she ehould pay. the amount which she will have to pay will be a burden on German shoulders for many years to come They perceive that in fact the treaty with Germany will be an a nnlsUce lasting until Germany has discharged her obligations about fifteen years hence,

an armistice which will dissolve into
war if Germany fails to pay up In that
period. Seeing all this, seeing their hopes shattered they are criticising the treaty of peace as unfair to Germany.
Huns Appeal to Liberals The Germans are agitating on the
same line. They are conducting a
propaganda designed to enlist the so-
called liberals of the world exactly as
their peace without annexation prop
aganda roused the liberals of the entire world to sympathy Just before they made the Brest-Li to vsk and Bucharest treaties. The tactics are ob
vious. The objectlv.e is to save Germany from the- consequences of the
war and make the French and British
pay for defending themselves and also pay for the destruction Germany has
done. But there is always an essential fallacy In every German argument.
In this case it is found in the asser
tion that Germany could have fought
if she had not decided to accept the
fourteen points.

ana i win verify this statement. I have been poorly for five years and went South for my health, but without results. I tried the best specialists different times but they failed.
Iast winter I took to my bed and for two weeks my life was in a balance. Two leading doctors told me I must be
operated on for "chronic appendicitis." My husband took me to the hospital. They examined me and stated they would attend to my case. I was not satisfied and wanted an X-ray taken. So we went to the Inter-State Doctor's office. Doctor Culver examined me and told me I was almost gone, that my blood had turned white, or that I had no red blood, heart very weak and my nerves shot to pieces, that he could remove the worst symptoms in two or three weeks and have a new woman of me in three or four months. So we gave him a trial. - I am now on my third month and the
doctor has surely transformed me into a new person. .Life is worth living T fan A a Ha Kin.

knows how I suffered. I lost in weight till I only weighed 80 pounds. I was awful nervous and weak. Would bloat beyond human belief. At times would faint away entirely. I can't describe my condition, but I do know that Dr.sCulver surely is the greatest specialist-of all. And the public should. know it and be thankful for him having located here among us. Now I cannot say enough for The Inter-State Doctors and their methods, but I trust that this win be seen and read by some one suffering as I was. Investigate and be cured. Again I
want to thank you for the wonderful health you have given me, and I shall always speak a good word for you. Sincerely your friend, MRS. A. D. CLARK. 619 W. 12th St. There are hundreds of other people who have had the same Joyful experience. The wonderful and more
