IIV I'KA.NK If. MMON l. PARIS. Feb. 2 4 Vet infrequently in th past month there has been in Paris an expnssiou of thought that perhaps derma ny will win . the war after all. The rea.-on for this opinion, which must seem ' cry sträng to the remoter American audience, may be found in any examination of progress and conditions of the peace conference up to date, and in the present artie'e I am gointr to try to set forth something of the view to he founo. here as to What must be done if the war is not to be lost, for it is essential to recognize that ve are .-.tili a, war ith Germany, anö that tJer-

Now the only absolute force left in the face of this aggrandized Germuny is France. ith a population of thirty-nine millions, with her Industrial regions ruined, with her transportation pystem over all the northern re-: tons abolished, with a colossal debt and with a sacrifice in life alone as a consequence of the war which exceeds three million lives, obviously, it is beyond the resources of France to hold Germany ai?ain as she did for the greater part

time, Furope was more or les.s evenly divided into two great alliances, the Triple alliance of Germany. Austria and Italy, and the Triple entente of France, Russia and Great Pritain, in which liussia and France only were actual allies. CU AMiF-S WROUGHT HNO ! I'M I. Tliis was the balance of power. Theoretically, both, -groups were so nearly equal in strength that neither could venture to risk war, with at least half a chance of defeat. But now, after four and half years of war, what is the situation? Russia, the greatest military force in the Triple entente, has di? appeared in chaos, but such tlemeir.o of power and organization as exist still in that chaos are in the main friendly to Germany and ready to cooperate with Germany. The Triple entente of lull, then, has not only lost Russia, but has seen Russia

In some measure change sides and become an enemy with her vast potential resources not unlikely to become German assets in the future. To balance the downfall of Russia we have the collapse of Austria; but Austiia was never onetenth as important a factor in the Triple alliance as Russia was in the Triple entente, and already we see the Germans of Austria seeking to unite themselves with Germany: and it is patent that some similar al'iance will be ought by the Hungari nis as a result of changes to be made in Hungarian territory through the liberation of the Slav, .'nd Roumanians. Thus more than L'O millions of Austrian subjects will remain associated with Germany, and it was precisely this element u hieh supplied the main aid Germany could obtain from her Ilapsburg aociatc. Germany has thus: saved almost half of Austria, while the allies have not only lost all of Rufda, but have seen Russia marching towards a nev alignment with Germany. Now, by contract, Italy has associated Im 1 self with Great Britain and France, but before the war Italy v as economically a- well as politically penetrated by Germans and Italians, even during the present war, and there exists for the future no real basis for jealousy now that Italy has achieved reintegration of the Austrian-Italian population. Italy's present sympathies are uruiuesdionaoly with Great Britain and France; but Italy's comnu rcial interests in the future, even more than in the past, will be with the central powers as a result of geographical conditions. It is possible to exaggerate the Italian Ganger, but it is hardly possible to exaggerate it if the conference at Paris fails to j-ive Italy that dalmation prize promised her at the moment when she came into the war by both Great Rriiain and France, and exactly this is threatened through the influence of Prt 't Wilson. GURMANY 1 1 AS .VnoLIMIi:i KlsHA. It come down, after all. to this. That Germany has abolished Russia, and not simply abolished her but prepared the way for future German economic. political and pernaps even military predominance in that vant area which was once the Romanoff empire. She has saved for her own influence out of the wreck of Austria, fractions w hich were alone of very great importance. She will have added thousands of square miles of territory and six or seven millions of people to her population as a result of the unsuccessful war, tdnce it is clear now to everybody that a union of Austrian Germany with Northern Germany is no longer to be prevented. She lias a-ssured herself a population of nearly eighty millions, almost snlirelv Gtixuv. enc.lnlnr

made certain that Germany has changed her ideas and hor purposes and we have no assurances that there ha.s been an; change, no sign

and further we can

not safely assume that since old mer. are still running new Germany, New Gcmany is anything but an enlarged and camouflaged edition of old. It is perfectly impossible in present circumstances, to put all our confidence in the League of Nations and retire, leaving Germany more powerful than she was before, the

sole gainer in all respects as a remit j

of this war, since she has devastated mortgage her linan-cial future to France, compelled Great Britain to America, rnd redured the commercial ileets of the world. TWO WAYS TO SAVK tiii: war. But how then are we at Paris to save the war? - Obviously, in two ways. The cost of the war must be borne either by the Allies who defended themselves or by Germany who attached them. Germany In

lighting for the war drew upon her Internal resources and can repudiate her debts; England and France and Italy weie compelled to borrov of America and cannot repudiate their debts. Lither the French and British and Italian people will have to stagger, under the burden of this debt and. in the case of Fiance, un

'der the added burden incident to (the destruction by the Germans of J French industrial region; or that

burden must be lifted from Al'ied shoulders to German. If the Germans escape, if they can resume the old game of arming, if French and British and Italian taxpayers have to shoulder it, they will be unable ever, to arm themselves adequately for self-defense. it is essential for Americans to realize that the question of reparation and restitution,

even ot indemnity, is not punitive

is not a program of plunder of Germany. It is merely an effort to save, primarily France, who has suffered most, but L'ngland and Italy as well, from the crushing- burden placed upon tlu-m by the necessity ed de-le-nding themselves against Germany. Above all, it is essential that Americans should recognize that is not in a spirit of jdunoer. th.it it is not in a spirit of re venge, that the stacs:ncn of Paris are compiling a bill of damages again.-t Germany. It itf purely and simply a question of whether Germany shall iay for what she did, or succeed in ruining those nations who were her commercial rivals, both by systematically destroying their industrial machinery un-l by loading tJiem with colossal tie 'jts incurred in defending themselves against Ge-ruian assault. There is a too ready tendency in American iiuarters, here at least, to read into the purpose of our Allies motives and reasons which are not there. In a very large de'-'ree the Germans will win the war !f they make the people they attacked bear tiie great burden of it, and once more wo must remember that we are still at war with Germany. In tlie second place, we have got to restore the balance of power ir. Furope, destroyed when Germany eliminated Russia as a nation and as a force in the world, there wil; be nothing left in Rurope capable of opposing eighty millions of Germans occupying th center of the continent. UiiiteJ. capable of indefinite e hort, and having still ope n to them the temptation of world power; in fact having it open to them ever, more completely tnan it was in 1914, v. hen they took their -treat gamble. And tiiis can be-, dene, this new force- can be createel. only in one way. Jf we shall create real, strong, national states in Poland, in Bohemia, in Roumania. and out of the southern Slavs, as well as bv completing the uniucation of the Greeks, we shall hao added to the ha.lu.nve. against German agtression more than fifty million of people, divided into fear nations, but capable of very urgent development, capable o! of becoming r.al national entities capable at no distant time of defending themselvc-ss jk:ij Unring the German pathway to power. Gi:UMAN TlIl.OKY or tiii: war. Th Germany theory in this war ought never to be forgotten. Germany undertoek at me time to assail western Kmi i ie-de- to noH

great, solid barrier tion of chaos on their southern frontiers, to

Russia.

Moreover, in a very large measure ' tlit Germans accomplished this. If j you start at the Gulf of Finland to-' day and go south, along the old!

I frontier of Russia, vou will travel '

through regions in which half a e'ozen races are strivirg with each j other to take possession of some

fragments of territory and creating permanent and bitter jealousies. Incited by the Germans, the Ukranlans. the Lithuanians, are contesting with Poland the possession of the frontier regions between the two races, while bolsheviks are in Yilna. .Serbs and Roumanians are at adds in Banat. Poles and Bohemians in upper Siksia, Southern Slavs and Italians in Dalniatia. Greeks and Italians in sirij:?. lu a word the German war has destroyed order from the Baltic to the Black Sea, and frorr. the Yolgi to the Isonzo, and while he ha done this the German has enlarged his own national area and finally 'completed the unification of the German race. If we can create states like Poland, like Roumania, like Bohemia and like Jugo-ila la, if we can give them frontiers which are defensible, if we can give them r.ecessary conditions of national life, founded upon self-determination of race with due regard to geographical and economic considerations, we shall be able to e'epriv? the German of his victory, lie will t'nd himself confronted not by the debris of half a dozen quarreling races, but by four or live healthy, growing states, available as Allies of the Western powers in defense of their existence and in the preserving of the freedom of Europe. what constitutes ri:al barrilr. And in the presence of such obf tacks, perhaps it is not too much to hope the German people themselves will hesitate to permit their rulers to plunge them into a nevv war. The core of imperialism, after all, is the cost of it. The cause of imperialism is invariably the presence of opportunity. If eighty millions of Germans rind their pathway to the Last strewn with the wreckage of ejuarreling tribes, if the load to India has nothing across it save an incoherent Polish state and a vast Russian chaos, if the pathway to the Golde n Horn is barred only by mutilated Southern Slavdom, the League of Nations will not serve as a barrier. Tim abstract principles written the re will no more appeal to Germans in the next decade than abstract doctrines formulated by the Hague Tribunal closed the pathway through Height m. We have then at 1'aris two very clear duties still to perform. We have to make Germany bear the burden, the financial burden, of her last attack in order she Tr.'iy not, escaping the cost of the war, be able to concentrate her remaining resources on preparation a new attr.ck upon those nations stag-
