F IT turns out that the Imperial German Government has badly overreached itself in its peace dickerings with the Bolsheviki, no one need be surprised. The worst mistakes of German foreign policy have come from a blundering arrogance that has repeatedly lost Prussianism the realization of its best laid schemes. The obstinate insistence of the German Government that it must keep a grip on Poland, Courland, Livonia, Lithuania and Esthonia appears to have startled various groups among the Russian revolu- tionists into a temporary cohesion that will at ‘eist serve to strengthen the Bolshevik leaders in their emphatic rejection of the German propos! The Foreign Minister, Trotzky, declares he will not listen to terms which he denounces as “hypocritical,” while the Petrograd press points to the absurdity of pretending the Central Powers desire a democratic peace and warns Russians that “German imperialism is again beginning to show its claws.” Tt is too soon to assume that 3,000,000 Ruasian troops can be counted on to rally after the present truce and take the field aggres- sively against the Teutonic forces. The inner conflict of the Russian revolution is not at an end. Its forces may not yet be capable of concentrating on an outer purpose even though they momentarily unite to reject a specious offer and avert a danger. Russia, or the component elements thereof, is still in the position of instinctively yearning for a peace that wili permit her conflicting revolutionary forces to come to some adjustment. But whatever Russia docs next, the significant fact in the present situation ‘is that the Imperial German Government’s great plan to turn the Russian Revolution to Teutonic account has been seriously endangered if not already spoiled by Imperial German stupidity. Snormous preparation and propaganda have again failed of their effect because German imperialism could not manage to conceal the insolence and ruthlessness of its ambitions. No wonder Berlin is upset and the Kaiser in hasty conference with his counsellors. Here’s another master work of German diplo- macy gone wrong. Here’s another Imperial bungle to be camouflaged. Meanwhile all factions in Russia would do well to ponder, in the light of present experience, what the President of the United States has stated as a fundamental peace proposition: There can be no peace with the power that now rules Germany. _—____—— ENFORCE THE “‘LIGHTLESS NIGHT” ORDER. SPITE the order of the Fuel Administrator that Broadway D must observe the “lightless” rule every night of the week except Saturday, a majority of theatre, restaurant and cabaret proprietors in the high-light section of Manhattan appear to consider their electric signs exempt unless the Federal Government serves no- tice on them individually, Broadway blazing as usual every evening offers a fine exhibition of patriotism in the face of urgent, widely published directions for the eaving of coal as an important part of the nation’s war programme!
