] — - 'SECRETS OF WORLD WAR Myth of American Peace Dictator Exploded. BY ANDRE TARDIEU. Ouptain of the French army. French high commissloner to Ame Clemenceau's Tight hand at the conference of Versallles CHAPTER XVIL THE BEGINNINGS OF THE PEACE. What remains of the flction be- Y lieved by so many of an armistice ®ecretly determined upon by an American dictator; submitted to by the European governments; imposed by thelr weakness upon the victori- ous armies despite the opposition of the generals? -The armistice was dis- . cuesed in the open light of day. Pres- ident Wilson only consented to com- municate it to his associates on the triple condition that its principle be approved by the military authoritles mnd its clauses would be drawn up by them; that it be imposed upon the enemy and not discussed with him; that it be such as to prevent all re- sumption of hostilities and assure the submission of the vanquished to the terms of peace. So It was that the discussion went ou with Berlin till October 23, and in Paris from thatiGermany's persistent savagery 1t was to the|left more ruins deci- | countries than the invasions of the date till November B. commander-inahief that final eion was left not only on the pri siple of the armistice, application. He it was who drew up | the text. And it was his draft that was adopted. The action of the gov- ernment was limited to indorsing it und making It more severe. That is the truth; it is perhaps less pic- turesque, but certainly more in accord with common sense. t Berlin Ready to Accept Anything. May it in truth be said, after what 1 have just written of the German crises In October, that Marshal Foch | Smade & mistake in not exacting more | than he did—and that’ no matter 1 what we had asked the people in Ber- lin wofild have accepted everything ¢ Just as they accepted the surrender of their navy? Of course, this can mlways be asserted. 1 would point out, “however, that criticism fore- telling the past is not hard to level : against action which had to take 7 the future into account. To pass Jjudgment on the decisions taken in October, 1918, by the commander-in- chief of the armies of the entente,! . and approved afterward by the gov- ernments, it is necessary to place one’s self in_his position of knowl- . edge. The official German documents which T am able to insert in this work had not then been published. The facts they relate were not then known. Nothing was known of the extraordinary panic which on October 1 had seized the great general staff; - nothing was known either of its un- ®rvoidable consequences. Marshal Foch was sure of victory, and he said so. He added that the conditions fixed by him on October 26 were the very conditions which we should have been able to dictate after the success of further operations. But having done that, he fulfilled his duty in refusing 10 fix an exact date as to the dura- tion of German resistance, the strength of which in critical junc- tures continued to be shown—con- trary to the provisions of Ludendorft —up to the very day of the armistice. He also fulfilled his duty in refusing 1o take chances with the morale of the troops and of thp peoples, by con- fining himself to what'he -considered to be necessary and sufficient. It is easy two years afterwards to decide that the war would only have lasted & week longer. Marshal Foch could not guarantee that. Nobody even today could guarantee it absolutely. A few days before the armistice one of our army commanders said to a public man: “We are going to take up our DD!I» tions for another winter.” Did Not Demand More. The responsible chief would have mone of “another winter” which he did not consider essential to the mchievement of victory. The govern- ments determined to impose every- thing that the commander-in-chief exacted, but did not feel justified in demanding more. Moreover the prob- lem was to place Germany in a posi- tion in which she could not begin the ‘war again—she was not able to begin 4t again; the problem was to force Germany to sign the peace—she wigned it. Events have. thus shown that Marshal Foch was right. The ®rmistice marked the capitulation of the enemy. a capitulation which was ®mn_unconditional surrender. The , work which awaited the framers of the peace was as great mnd as unprecedented as the war which was to be brought to a close. Great and unprecedented In its SPECIAL NOTICES.

Tardieu proceeds now to destroy some of the fic- tion wh surrounded it and mhows that far from a “poli- ticlan’s peace” the end of hos- tilities found the armies more than will ccane firing. scope; for the first time in history entire nations had fought. Seventy million men had been mobilized. 30,000,000 had been wounded and| nearly 10,000,000 had dled. Nothing in the past could compare with It. The dead outnumbered all the armies of Napoleon. Great and unprece- dented in_its complexity, nation hav- ing fought nation, tliere had been brought into play the sum total of all national forces—agricultural, in- dustrial, commerclal and financial. All these potent factors of interna- tional life had to be taken into ac- count in making the treaty. Read over the great peace treaties of the past—for the most part child's play compared to this! Frontier changes limited to a few fragments of the map of Europe; indemnities of & few millions—the five thousand millions exacted in 1871 from France were looked upon at the time as a finan- cial monstrosity.and a gross abuse of wer; economic clauses in which the victor imposed upon the vanquished the most favored nation clause! A peace treaty had certaln classic out- lines which -were filled in according to more or less settled traditions. Map Had to Be Refuade. The map of the world had to be remade. and under what conditions! had in_the viclorious barbarians had ever made in the lands The re- sources of all the belligerents had been equally exhausted by the dura- tion of the struggle, and as the dam- ages rightly demanded by the cred- itors rose, the capacity for payment of the debtors fell. Mr. Lloyd George had sald In 1918, “Germany shall Pay for everything'” When the confer- ence met it was of necessity obliged to ascertain how much and in what manner Germany could pay. And ways had to be devised to extend th: time of payment; for it was quite evi dent a country, no matter how rich, could not pay hundreds of millions in a few months and no matter how criminal could not have undergone o prolonged a strain without dimin- ishing its resources. The execution of the peace terms thus became not 2 matter of months, but of years. It implied a lasting union of the forces which had won the war. Not the victors alone, but the whole world had to be given the certainty that Germany would not repeat her of- fense.

Representative Brennan, republican, of Michigan is awaiting the action of the American Legion convention in| Kansas City on the bonus question before introducing the bill he has prepared which would provide funds for payment of a bonus to the service men by legalizing manufacture of beer and light wines with a 4 per cent tax placed on such products. Declaring that for the last two years “the revenue which rightfully should | rave flowed .into the coffers of Uncle Sam has been collected by bootleggers | and rum runners.” Representative Brennan predicted that under the re- cent regulations permitting medical use of beer “oceans” of it will be man- ufactured ‘and sold for purposes other than “strictly medicinal.” “Many students of the prohibition question,” he said, “predict that medicinal beer is only a forerunner to a return of beverage beer and light wine. If this be so why should not the step be taken at once and the enormous revenue flowing from this sonrcs ba lnplled to paying the sol- s. Estimating that _from ED 000 000 lo 70,000,000 barrels of beer would be consumed annually, a tax of $5 to $10 a barrel would be suf- ficient, without including light wine revenues, to finance an adjusted com- pensation plan.” LENIN AND TROTSKY CHOSEN.

Falllng this, the peace would be lacking in the tial factor that had won the v Nature of Peace Foreshadowed. The history of the war foreshad- owed the nature of the peace as much by the official acts of governments as by the spontaneous expression of public_opinion. When France Knew that she was being attacked by Ger- many she proclaimed her war aims with a single voice. They were the defense of her frontlers, the redemp- tion of Alsace-Lorraine and the maintenance of national liberty as opposed to a policy of aggression and domination. In the parliament and in the press there was not a discord- ant note. France had bought this unanimity, the essential condition of success, with forty-three yeara of anguish. 1t was the memory of th darR days which gave substanc | France's conception of peace and w Attacked once more, France was on jmore going to fight for right.

One woman iIn eight dies of cancer after reaching the age of forty years, according to Dr. J. A. Gannon, of the American Soclety for the Control of Cancer, who last night addressed the meeting of the Lydia Sylvester Draper Center of the Woman's Na- tional Foundation. Cancer, Dr. Gannon held, is not heriditary, but a local disease and a curable one. He urged that attention be given to even the slightest symp- toms of a malignant disorder of the skin or flesh, stating that its cure was greatly facilitated in this man- ner. Mrs. Lydia S. Draper, chairman of | the meeting. delivered a short ad- lflreas calling attention to the neces- sity for widening the area for chil- dren’s recreatlon in the city.
