XV v may N'lleve that ho sought to lntoi.p tin1 I'nitod States in a dispute tilth her Uiiropoan allies over peace term. and rally the ( rnian people Ix-hind the; autocracy hy presenting to them tin drastic domands of tho i jHTii.v. The home front was to Fit fortified, the enemy front hroken by

tho inaiicticr. Unfortunately for laidendorff, oent- nmveil too fat. lie had not calculated uon a Unitarian Mirrt nder, n Turkish collajw, an Austrian ilehacle. All of a Midden nil of (iermany's allies ere displeased, the whole fact of things hansred, the ma neu er, made without sincerity or without Intent to make jKace, looamc n life and death pursuit of icacc to twain internal revolution. Tho tirst proof of the iianze was the fall of LudcndorIT himself. TVxlay fienuany fates a situation which can neither Ih concealed from her people nor from her enemies. To continue the, war is to risk invasion on the very remote chance of modifying allied demands. There Is no hojx of victory, no fractional clianco of anything resomblineven a draw. There- Is t Ih-M, only the hope of postpoidn the decision for a few lirief vieeks or montlis, vlth the moral certainty that as a result of the new lnirtletis thcrohy placcI upon a weary pooplt internal revolution will follow ultimate surrender, If It does not overtake it as in the caw of Russia and Austria. In a very real sense tho delilieratlons now poins on at Versailles are lKslde the point, m far as ('ermany is concormtl. However seven; the terms there nsrreed upon, Germany must and will accept them. No consideration of a iosslbIe prool nation of German resistance need worry the men who are writlruc, have probably already written the armistice terms.

What the allies have to decide at Versailles Is merely what they deem wlo to take as guarantees of an ultimate hcttlcment. (Irnnany's peril today docs not come primarily

Germany mu.t wirrender or die; II as Kusia has died and as An-tria Is djin. Her future depcixls upon

her immediate ccape from a war j which is subject 'jz ler population to exactly tluit sort of nironv out of i

whih revolutions Inevitably arise. All Germany today is approaching the ondltion of Paris after the iee. The condition which nude the commune inevitable and terrible. Whatever Germany saves from the wreck now she will save by negotiation and not hy fihtln. The military phase of the war Is already over and the problem which remains is whether Germany in the jH-acc conference can reieat the triumph of Talleyrand at the congress of Vienna and sae hy diplomacy what she has lost by arms. This is the remaining danger for our alliance. Germany means to us; the plan for a league of nations to avo herself from punishment and payment as Talleyrand used the scheme of the holy alliance against democracy to save Trance from the consequences of the revolutionary and Napoleonic struggles. Hut tx!ay Germany must surrender and surrender promptly. The longer she is held up with her back to tho wall the more patent Incomes her helplessness and the longer the strain of the war is kept upon her -l v il population, the more terrible will be the consequences, when this civil -Herniation at last gains the power It is bound to gain now. It is Impossible for Germany to escape? a measure of the Kiisslan anarchy, a portion of the Austrian dissolution, save by swift surrender. Therefore, surrender is assured.

The war is over. Not because the Geilnau army is not capable of filitiiii; another ampaitrn. No authentic evidence of collapse in the army Is yet to be found. Nevertheless the collapse of the nation 1khhul the army moans tliat In no long time the army itself must collapse as did the Russian, the Unitarian, and now the Austrian, once the home front was broken. Such a collapse means only one thing. It means revolution, anarchy. Germany will surrender. The surrender will not Ik long delayed. In my judgment, instead of haggling over the terms of the armistice, Germany will abandon the fight In the held and turn all her energies to the light arotind tho green table. On the military side she must surrender or die. (Copyright, 191 R.)

George Roessler Says He Went Through Hell and Was Younded

Mrs. Catherine Roessler, 12" 2 XV. Van Puren st., has received two letters within tho last thre day.-?, from her son. George John Iloessler. with the American expeditionary force, telling that he was wounded in action on Oct. 1. The Utters are. dated Oct. 6 and 1 : and aro written from base hospital 6S.

"Well. 1 went over the top and we sure drove the Germans back. I never went throMch sueh a hell before.

"I was in the hatth six d iys and on Oct. 1 was hit by a piece of .shrapnel on my riht hip and on 1he ris'ht side of ray back. A piece went in me there, and they had to use the X-ray to lind it. It was in about ciii' inch so they cut me opec just above my right hip hone and took it out. "I went Jive miles in an ambulance to one evacuation hospital where they dressed my wound, and then I?- tji'Iis in another ambulance and was operated on Oct. ;'. T then rode on the hospital train :U" hour.to the base hospital. We are now far from the battle line. Condition Improving. "My wound was d reused yesterday and it was O.
