SAW SURRENDER IN FIRST PEACE PLEA
English Writer Said Note Was Confession of Impending Collapse in Germany.
FEARS OF A REVOLUTION
Thought Bolshevist Activity Would Stir Unrest in a Nation Humiliated by Defeat.
In the issue of the magazine, The New Europe, of Oct. 24, published in London, there appeared as a leading article a paper entitled, "Germany and the Revolution," in which the anonymous author predicted the cataclysm that shakes the German Empire. An explanatory note says that the article was written before Prince Max sent his first note to President Wilson on Oct. 6, in which Germany for the first time expressed a willingness to make peace on the conditions laid down by the President. Of far greater importance than President Wilson's communications, the writer added, was his statement "that until peace is concluded he will continue to send over each month 250,000 fresh American troops."
"The nation became divided into two great sections," says the article. "On the one side was the whole fabric of the State-maintaining parties, which included practically all the upper classes and all the middle classes who aimed at public life or a career in any of what we call the liberal professions; the public service, local administration, church, and education, were all enlisted as part of the Government machine. On the other side were the great mass of the working men who had been brought into the great organization of Social Democracy, the ultimate object of which was to overthrow the fabric of Government. There can be little doubt that the very unwholesome conditions of internal affairs was one of the chief factors which brought about the war; people began to feel that things could not go on much longer as they were, and the governing classes had to face the dilemma of meeting an acute internal crisis or of making some great coup by which once for all they should establish their authority upon the people. There was one specific for meeting this emergency. A successful war which would extend German authority over the other countries of Central Europe would have as its result to establish the authority of the army, the Crown, the Prussian aristocracy, and the great industrials in Germany itself.
"How right they were was seen by the course of evens in Germany during the first years of the war. Had the war ended in a German success, had Mittel-Europa been established, then the conquest of Europe would have been accompanied by the conquest of the German people themselves.
Collapse of the Nation.
"But in the last three months, with a rapidity as dramatic as it has been unexpected, the whole plan has collapsed. Germany has not won but has lost the war; she will not emerge from it with extended power over other nations; the German nation are confronted by the imminent possibility of that, the very possibility of which they have always refused to contemplate, not only absence of victory but absolute defeat. The effect of this on the internal situation has been immediate. The Government have lost the intellectual and moral influence on which their real power depended, and they are confronted with the necessity of settling these constitutional problems which have been so long delayed, and doing this in the hour of national defeat and disaster.
"The problem is one of the most serious by which any Government could be confronted, for all history tells us that a change of the kind which is now inevitable is one to which limits and barriers cannot be set. In a country such as Germany revolutions do not come from below. they do not begin until the Government itself has begun to break up, but when they begin they are more far-reaching, both in their objects and in their methods, than those who begin them anticipate. A change which begins with the demand for moderate constitutional reform easily degenerates into the overthrow of all government; when we look for a political revolution we find ourselves on the verge of social anarchy.
"We can have no doubt that the German Government are acutely aware of the danger that is in front of them, and we may be sure that this was one of the chief reasons why, as soon as they recognized that military victory was impossible, they saw that their only way of salvation was to bring about peace, immediate peace, peace before there had been any great military disaster. They saw that constitutional changes were inevitable; they could not afford to risk carrying through these changes under the influence of some great catastrophe.
"We can be sure that this was one of the motives which influenced them in making their offer of peace on Oct. 4, and in particular, that this gave their peace offer its particular form. The surrender—for it was in fact a surrender—was more rapid and more complete than the military situation alone seems to have required. We speak of it as a surrender, for what other name can we give to this combined request for an armistice and acceptance of President Wilson's fourteen points? The Germans are thoroughly acquainted with what we may call the etiquette of military matters. They know that the request for an armistice is and must be interpreted as a recognition of defeat."
First Note Meant Defeat.
The dispatch of Prince Max's note also indicated, the writer added, that Germany recognized two basic principles of peace, which no German Government would ever discuss—the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France and giving up Prussian Poland to a new Polish State.
"No Government in Germany could possibly have gone so far unless it felt that it was confronted with a catastrophe worse than that involved in the acceptance of the fourteen points, a catastrophe worse than any military defeat, viz., not only a political but a social revolution at home."
"We know that the Bolshevists, who are extending their authority in Russia, are deliberately using every means to extend their influence abroad and are rejoicing at the prospect of German anarchy. Is it, men will say, to our advantage to see a Commune arise, not only in one city, but in every city upon the Continent? We want, indeed, the Government to be transferred from the hands which have hitherto held the reins, but we want the transference to be executed in an orderly and legal manner. We want, above all, to have a recognized and constituted German Government, with which we can settle details of peace and from whom we can demand the reparation which we desire. If Germany were to go the way of Russia, then all the talk of indemnities and punishment and reparation would be futile.
Saw Sincerity in Pleas.
"On the whole we are included to believe that there has been a real change of view in Germany, in the nation and in the Government alike. The old system has fallen; it has done so because it has failed. The national believed in it because it brought to Germany wealth and power; now they see that it has brought to it discredit and disaster. It has been judged by its own acts. It is not a question of justice, of honesty, of moral reform. It is a question of competence and wisdom.
"The fundamental principle of the old system was that the conduct of foreign affairs was a matter so delicate, required such superior wisdom, that is could not be entrusted to the German nation themselves. This contention can no longer be upheld. For the old system has brought the German nation into a situation which every loyal German would especially wish to avoid. When the great war, so long talked of, came about, it came under circumstances most unfavorable to Germany, in a war not with one or two States, but with practically the whole of the rest of Europe. It was the common-place of diplomacy that it was necessary to avoid the formation of a great coalition against Germany. This coalition was, in fact, formed.
"The best hope for the world," the article concludes, "is that the defeat of the Germany Army should come as rapidly as possible, and that the German nation should, without any mist of negotiation to obscure its outlook, realize that it has come to the condition to which defeated nations come, to which France came in 1871. Best for the world and ultimately best for Germany itself. Far more important than the negotiations which President Wilson is conducting is the statement which has made that until peace is concluded he will continue to send over each month 250,000 fresh American troops."
TAFT SAYS AMERICANS MAY POLICE GERMANY
Thinks Our Troops Will Be Detained Abroad After the War for Garrison Duty.
Special to The New York Times.
MADISON, Wis., Nov. 10.—William H. Taft, who delivered his final address today in the "Win the War" convention at the University of Wisconsin, said that America might have to garrison Germany. The Bolshevki, he declares, were the enemies of mankind, seeking the destruction of the educated, the thrifty, the well-to-do, and the respectable.
"Their failure to believe in liberty regulared by law is just as much the work of the Hohenzollerns, the Hapsburgs and the Romanoffs as their own present predicament," said the speaker. "They are responsible and punishable for both kinds of disturbance.
"And on this account I do not think the boys will be coming home. They will stay there to steady the results of the war. Not a man among them is a Bolshevik. Theirs is the responsibility visited upon those who enjoy the boon of popular government. Our boys may have to garrison Germany. The French have an immense need for man power. American soldiers may properly undertake this burden of police and guard duty. And they will improve the environment in which they are put.
"Threatened with the despotism of the mob, democracy regards it only as the natural swing of the pendulum to the opposite extreme. Also, democracy, as I see it, cannot allow us to escape responsibility for what goes on in the world when we have such power to control what goes on."
Mr. Taft outlines the way in which the aims of the League to Enforce Peace had become a matter of political importance, instead of a remote academic question.
"It is our business to see that this change has come into the minds of our legislative representatives," said he. "Then you will find you can't see them for the dust they make in getting over to our side. We must demand and urge this be taken up as the acute pending question in setting those peace terms."
Mr. taft reviewed the University S.A.T.C. at Vilas Park, and addressed its members immediately afterward from the steps of the State Historical Library. He left for a meeting tonight in the interests of the United War Work campaign in Milwaukee.
MEETS LICHNOWSKY'S FATE
Dr. Lipsius Forced to Flee Because of Armenian Exposures.
How the German Government drove into exile Dr. Johannes Lipsious, the one humane German who was bold enough to tell the truth about Turkish atrocities, was recently told byDr. Albert Oeri, editor of the Basler Nachtrichten of Basle, Switzerland, who is now in this country with a delegation of Swiss journalists invited to America by the Committee of Public Information.
Like Prince Lichnowsky, who was not afraid to state facts about Germany's responsibility for the war, Dr. Lipsius met teh fate prepared for all those who dared to tell the truth about Germany's methods. He found himself unable to live safely in Germany and is now residing in Holland.
Despite the persistent denials of the German press of his charges, Dr. Lipsius convinced many Germans twenty years ago in a book which he wrote about conditions in the east that the Turks were massacring the Armenians. In 1915 Dr. Lipsius went to Constantinople, as head of the German Orient Mission, where Ambassador Morgenthau made accessible to him unimpeachable information of the shocking cruelty of the Turks to the Armenians.
On the basis of these American reports and of the statements made by sisters in German hospitals in Turkey who were eyewitnesses of the deportations, Dr. Lipsius wrote a book in German about the atrocities and had it printed secretly in Germany. His intention was to send it to all the Protestant pastors in Germany and to all members of the Reichstag.
The German Post Office authorities did not wish the people to know the truth and attempted to seize these volumes, but since they were mailed at a number of post offices many copies actually reached the addresses. They aroused many pastors and many leaders of the Social Democrats, and there was actually held in 1917 a depate of the Armenian question in the German Reichstag, but the German newspapers were forbidden to publish anything concerning it. Dr. Lipsius was deposed as Secretary of the German Orient Mission and had to seek safety in flight.
Before the war, Germany, with Switzerland, supported an orphanage and hospital at Curfa to care for the victims of the Damascus massacre twenty years ago, but Germany's friendship for Turkey put a stop to all German help for these institutions. When the war broke out the Central Powers refused to allow Dr. Ardreas Vischer, the Swiss who was in charge of these institutions but who was then on a vacation in Switzerland, to return to Curfa, although his assistant was allowed to remain in the city.
According to information which reached Switzerland, Dr. Oeri said, none of the inmates of these two institutions who entered it in 1906 are living today. In 1915 Turkish soldiers under the leadership of a German officer entered the Armenian quarter, broke down the resistance of the men, murdered those who surrendered, and deported the women and children.
WANTS BELGIUM TO LEAD.
Dr. Guttery Would Have Her Troops the First in Berlin.
Dr. Arthur T. Guttery, President of the Free Church Council of England, and a member of the British commission recently sent to this country, delivered an address last night at the Madison Methodist Episcopal Church, Madison Avenue and Sixtieth Street.
"I want," he said, "the allied forces to seal the verdict of humanity in the City of Berlin, where the crimes were thought of. I would like to see, not the English or American or French boys lead the way, but the troops of that brave little country, Belgium, whose spiritual and undying courage held up the Huns long enough to prevent the world from being run over by a despotic power."
Dr. Guttery said that the time was coming, and that the need was already here, when all Christian faiths and creeds must unite under one banner, with one aim, Christianity.
AUSTRALIA'S STAND CRITICISED BY CECIL
British Minister Says Premier Hughes Interprets Wilson's Points Extravagantly.
JUSTICE AT PEACE TABLE
May Require Compensation for Both Private Losses and Public Expenditures.
Copyright, 1918, by The New York Times Company.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
LONDON, Nov. 9.—Premier W. M. Hughes of Australia took issue today with three of President Wilson's fourteen points. He complained to The New York Times correspondent that the dominion had not been consulted before they were accepted by the Allies as the peace basis.
In the first place, he objected to the President's third clause, which, he argued, limits the rights of States to adopt a differential tariff. This, he maintained, would be a limitation of Australia's sovereignty which she could not accept. She had been fighting for the rights of small nations, and as a small nation she wanted her own.
Then Hughes asked why no provision had been made for Germany's indemnifying the allies for the cost of the war. Australia's own war debt was £300,000,000, and he could not see why she should be burdened with it when Germany would have exacted the heaviest indemnities possible if she had been victorious.
Finally Hughes declared that the handing over of Germany's pacific colonies in the neighborhood of Australia to her ought to have been specified. He pointed out that New Guinea was only eighty miles from Queensland, and asked how Americans would like such an excellent base for U-boats, airplanes, or ships to be in the hands of Germans so near their own doors.
Lord Robert Cecil was asked by The New York Times correspondent this afternoon for his view of the criticisms passed by Premier Hughes of Australia on three of President Wilson's fourteen points. With regard to Premier Hughes's contention that the President's stipulation concerning economic treaties was an infringement of Australia's national rights, Lord Robert said:
"It seems to me a most extravagant interpretation of the President's words; but putting that aside, any treaty between two nations may be construed as an abridgment of their national rights. All that the President lays down may be regarded as a gigantic economic treaty."
Asked about Premier Hughes's contention that Germany should be required, in addition to making reparation to Australian citizens for private injuries received at the hands of the enemy, to foot the bill for Australia's national expenditure in the war, Lord Robert said:
"That will be a matter for the Peace Conference, and some estimates of the injuries done to private interests are enormous, but if I understand the plain meaning of English, the Peace Conference will be at liberty to require compensation for both private losses and public expenditure. The only thing explicitly rules out is the imposition of any punitive fine."
Referring to Premier Hughes's complaint that the disposition of Germany's colonies in the Southern Pacific had not been included in the bond, Lord Robert referred to recent speeches of Premier Lloyd George and Mr. Balfour, and said that they should be sufficient.
FEWER WORKERS INJURED.
Industrial Board Points Out Benefits of Compensation Law.
A report by the Bureau of Compensation of the State Industrial Commission says that since employers have had to pay for accidents to their employes the number of accidents in industrial plants have greatly decreased, the average of the last year being a little less than one in each plant. This is explained by the fact that employers are now more careful to safeguard their employes against accidents, and that men and women are not now set to work at machines until they have been fully instructed in the use of them.
Another point made by the commission is that the cost of compensation has conveinced employers that it is cheaper to employ skilled men and women at a higher rate than those who are unskilled at a lesser wage. In 1914, when the compensation law was enacted, the average weekly wages of employes was between $13 and $14 a week. The average is now $20. Commenting on the fact that the Federal Government has appropriated $2,000,000 and enacted a law for the rehabilitation of soldiers, the report says that the soldiers of peace as well as of war need rehabilitation. It adds:
"Industrially who needs to be rehabilitated? The answer is those who have been permanently injured. Therefore the importance of prevention is emphasized, for prevention makes unnecessary compensation and rehabilitation. In this connection it is well for every employer and every citizen to sit down and contemplate the loss from an industrial accident.
"It begins the moment the injured workman leaves his machine. It affects not only the workman himself, but his family, his employer, his possible other employers for whom he might have worked had he not been injured, &c. In fact, it is a case of pure loss, and its burden is borne by somebody somewhere. The value of the preventive measure therefore becomes all the more apparent as the question is considered to its end."
BRONX GETS RECORD TAX.
$663,558 on Douglas Estate that Held $961,000 Liberty Loan.
The largest transfer tax recorded in Bronx County will be paid this morning when the fee on the estate of the late James Douglas of Riverdale-on-Hudson, who died last July, is entered. Alfred B. Simons, Transfer Tax Appraiser, in his report filed with Surrogate George M. S. Schultz, placed the tax at $663,558.02.
The total of the Douglas estate was put at $18,635,722, less about $1,000,000 for debts and counsel fees. At his death, Mr. Douglas, who was a financier and mining stock promoter, had $370,255 cash, $469,498 bonds and notes, and $15,172,000 stocks. Among the assets are $150,000 of the First Liberty Loan, $400,000 Second Loan, and $411,000 Third Loan, making a total of $961,000 lent to the winning of the war.
SUFFRAGISTS SEE VICTORY.
Recent Election a Rebuke to Democratic Opponents, Says Miss Paul.
Special to The New York Times.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The fight for the adoption of the constitutional amendment to give suffrage to women has gained adherents, said Miss Alice Paul, Chairman of the National Woman's Party, today, by the control of the Senate passing from the Democrats to the Republicans. The amendment, she said, had gained at least one vote and perhaps two in the present Senate, by reason of the lection of men favourable to the cause to replace, for the short term, December to March 4, members who opposed the amendment.
"Woman suffrage comes out of the election with greater prestige and a stronger political position than it has ever held," said Miss Paul in a statement. "In all but two of the suffrage States the Democratic candidates against whom we campaigned, were defeated. In those two, Montana and Nevada, the Democratic majorities were so reduced that it was two days before it was known whether the Democratic candidates were elected or defeated.
"Not only has the Democratic Party received a strong rebuke, for its treatment of suffrage, but individual opponents have learned that suffrage cannot longer be opposed with impunity. Outside of the South, where the elections last Tuesday were merely confirmations of the primary results, every Senator seeking re-election who had voted against suffrage, except two, was defeated."
Among the anti-suffragists defeated by suffragists enumerated by Miss Paul in her statement are Senator Saulsbury, President pro tem. of the Senate; Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, Senators Benet and Hardwick, and the election of Governor Stanley of Kentucky to the seat made vacant by the death of Ollie James, long a suffrage opponent.
"With the elections behind us, and strengthened by the results therefrom, we turn again to the battle with the Senate, determined that before these hundred days remaining in this Congress have gone the suffrage amendment shall have passed," Miss Paul's statement concludes.
FORM 1,200 LABOR BOARDS.
Every State Except Two Has One or More Community Agencies.
About 1,200 community labor boards are now organized and functioning as a part of the United States Employment Service. With the exception of Alaska and New Mexico, which have not yet reported, every State in the Union has two or more community boards active in supervising the recruiting and distribution of labor in their communities.
Out of a total of fifty States, counting Alaska and the District of Columbia, thirty are on record as having completed their full number of boards. Approximately 1,500 boards will be the final total, it is expected, and from the speed with which the work is progressing it is expected the goal will be reached within three or four weeks.
In nine States sixty-one boards report the naming of women members in accordance with the ruling provided for the appointment of two women members to each local community board, one of whom is to represent local labor and the other local management. The number of community boards to which women members have been nominated and the States in which these boards are located are: Colorado, 1; Delaware, 4; Illinois, 3; Montana, 4; New Hampshire, 29; New Mexico, 1; North Carolina, 4; Maryland, 13; and Rhode Island, 2.
Although all community boards are functioning the members have not officially been inducted into the Employment Service, and it is probable that they will not until all States have completed their lists. At that time all nominations will be placed before the Secretary.
