What the Allies Will Exaet From Germany and Austria. The peace treaty which will end the presen•t war will be imposed on Germany and Austria by the three allied powers -Great' Britain, Rus- sia and France -'who will be actu- ated by the following principles: First -A war indemnity which will represent the damages eaused by the war. Second -As regards ter- ritorial acquisitions, the 'atllies will show disinterestedness. Third -All other .cousideratione will be stebor- dinated to this one -viz., the of the eauses of future war - fore. Fourth---Thie will be the sole object in view in the reorganization of Germany and Austria. -Hungary. Fifth -In bringing about this reor- ganization the allies will take ac- count Of the groups called national- ities, bub without giving them the fictitious importance attributed to them by political anthropology. . . . In order that a treaty have legal force there must be at mandatory whose duty it shall he to see that the stipulations of the treaty be strictly carried out, writes Yvee. Yuyot in North American Review. In 1815, for instance, ?the Triple Al- liance first and the Quadruple Al- liance afterward undertook this task, and in the present instance 'the three -allies milli: have to enter into a similar 'agreement and dis- tribute the roles between them, so that if one of -the conquered powers should. try to escape the conse- quences of its defeat, it will imtne- diately find itself in such a ?position that a 'single injunction will suffice to obtain strict ?observance of the treaty. ?Such are the outlines of the ar- rangements which may guarantee a leeting peace to Europe. The set- ting up of small buffer states will restrict the ambition of the great powers, and certain governments milli no longer be able to make France and Russia fill the part of bogy, for the latter will have shown that they are not bent on s'eizing territory. The legislative and economic uni- fication of Germany has Ibsen an- eompli'sbed and should not be dis- turbed, for .strch an act would affect every one of its inhabitants. 11,tbe peace decreases military taxes, lightens ,service with the colors, re- moves from .every mind the ,worry of an impending 'conflict and leaves men free to devdte all their en- ergy to productive op-erations, then every German citizenwill see that he has profited by the defeat of Prustian militarism and ineperial- , Test Your Cows.

Each century in modern times has been dominated by one piewer. The sixteenth was Spain's century, the seventeenth Rolland's. The eighteenth belonged, to, Franee,, and the nineteenth to England. Now it was dear, as the nin-eteenth century drew /12ar ifS end that Eng- land alone could not hops for an- oth'e'r term of supremacy. But Eng- land had brought into being:an Em- pire, world-wide, immence CD popu- lation and in wealth. It seemed that the eceptre-not of actual. rule, of course, mot of physical or material, domination, but to influence by character -might pans froin the Mo- ther to the children. Cause of tlie War. Germany alone, disputed this or- der of succession. That is why the world is at tycer to -day. But Ger- many cannot conquer the British Empire ; ehe is breaking ber n.ails against a rock. Therefore to that Empire will belong the Twentieth Century, and to, Russia, when she. has awakened the intelligence of her Peasant millions and developed her resources, Will surely belong the twenty-first. Let us both recognize this and live at peace. We have., in truth, more in com- mon with Russian's than with any other nation. We are, ,for instance., obstinate and inconsistent; so are they, if we taunt them with etick- ing to their old calendar, which is thirteendays behind everyone else's,they CaM point in reply to our pig-headed and far more intone venient retention of peculiar mem- sures of money and weight and length, in place of the decimal sys- tem used by every one else.

No Russian who knows the. world denies that his country is behind the other great powers both in the com- mon level of intelligence and in me- chanical conveniences. This has ad- vantages, however. It is annoying that Petrograd should be so badly paved, -that laundries should make a practice of keeping your "wash- ing" for three weeks instead of one, that there should be no regularity in the postal or in any other service., whether private or state.
