Berlin, June 13. Disputes among the allies at the peace table are "family quarrels" and Germany be ing outside the "iamily" would be foolish to build any hopes .upon them, for there is"no chance of the hostile alliance betng disrupted. ; With this argument Count Ernst zu Reventlow, leading Pan-German firebrand, counters in his Deutsche Tages-Zeitung, the widespread view in Germany that the allied- cdalition may ollapse and Germany might still snatch a diplomatic but of the jaws of defeat. v " "We ourselv.es are to blame for the severity ofxthe peace terms," is the main thread of his logic. He bitterly denounces the weakness of the German governments , since Prince Max of Badsen in admitting Germany's war guilt instead xf prov ing her innocence, which, he says, would have , been an easy thing. Thus, he avers, Germany allowed the "French and English Machiavel- lis to . convince President Wilson She alone is ; to -fetrme and . force him to abandon his 14 points. ' : Spoils Unite Allies. . Hfs article follows: v --, "Our" foes are bound together by economic ties.' ' One is dependent upon the other.Italy may kick and shout tor a while hut in the final Tend she wilL agree and take . her share of the spoils. It is the spoils that are holding the allies together, at least until the spoils are divided. L "Now. the Italians are" mad clean through. They are denouncingi their allies and they are abusing President ; Wilson. ; They ' have Aa right to do sa because they belong 10 one lamiijr xncjr4tc is the proper policy for the Italians and Italian 'newspapers to abuse Wilson. No doubt the Italian go rernment itself is the stage manager rw m iiim;"wfr"- ym wn 1 111 WAITING THE SIGNATURE of this campaign of abuse levelled at the American president. But it is. most foolish for German news papers to imitate the Italians.; We cannot compare our' position with Italy's because we do not belong to . the allied family.' The answer ever ready for us will always be: 'Germany brought on the war, it is guilty and deserves no considera tion . :. "That Germany is considered guilty by all the worffl is the fault of the German, government from Prince Max of Baden on.- The pur pose of bringing about a revolution the parties on the left have been aiding and abetting in convincing even the German people of the guilt of the Caiser's government T'lfy blamed the, kaiser for the wj , in order to get rid of him, and now they must not be surprised if they see the guilt fastened upon the uer man nation bv our foes, "The German government, since Prince Max, has done nothing to combat the theory of Germany's guilt. The enemy's charge remained unanswered so long that "it is now too late for anv effective refutation. Long ago the German view of pre war history should have been prop- . . . I, .f. .k-ll ' TL i 1 X agatea in an xne woria. wuuiu have been genuine German propa ganda. Again and again the charge has been made that the German general staff and 'incited' war. Why has this accusation never been re futed? Tkere must be document in the military archives. that prove the falsity of the charge. . ; , ' Brest Treaty .War Measure "When Germans complain of the severity ot the conditions the al lies seek to imnose uoon us the answer-is hurled back at as: 'If-j Germany had iWOri it would have dictated a much severer peace. Look at Brest-Litovsk.' The peace of Brest-Litovsk was merejy a war measure, made for the purpose .of relieving the German , army from any danger in the easi-and giving it a free hand in the west ' Of course, at the, time we , could -! not proclaim this from the hou tops. "Speeche s and writings t pro Germans are cited fot! the purpose of proving that the dominant power in Germany intended to annex Bel gium and northern . France in case of German victory This is false. The Pan-German agitation ' meant to combat the campaign of extreme pacifists who advocated giving, ev erything away. Because they were too lenient we appeared to be too harsh. Qur object was ' stiffening the- govertiment's backbone, - for. there was danger of asking too little just for the sake ol an early peace. As at matter of tact, Oermany never really thought of dictating a peace to England,' France and Rus sia that, would have ruined any of those countries, although- Germany would hive', a better ; position . of proving the culpable guilr of. the enemy coalition. l he best proof we still have , today,, every power, of the triple entente entered the war with strictly denned aims, witness the secret treaty of London and all their aims were ore-supposed upon the utter defeat Sftd destruction of Germany. Germany had no war aims. ' It merely defended itself. The enemy's war aims we're our destruc tion, v In this thev never faltered during the whole length of the war. Blames Condition on Revojt " But the conditions of p;ace to be imposed upon us would vot be. so severe had it not been tor that glorious revolution . of . rows.-- Our weak government, the fruit of. this wonderful revolution, is responsible for President Wilson abandoning his 14 points. It is true that Wilsdn deserted the high ideals proclaimed by him. The league of nations is remarkably free from high sounding principles , the union of universal philanthropists was supposed to be based upon: Our weak and faulty gbvernment, inexperienced in the arts of diplomacy, surrendered Wil son to the tender mercy of English and French Machevillis, who made the most of their opportunity. The7 dinned into the president's ear that story of Germany's guilt. They re peated the charge day in and day out, while the German government kept silent " There was no refuta tion, no counterbalancing of the evidence. No wonder -England's and France's position became r tronger and stronger with Wilson He heard only one side of the story. And it would have been so simple to show him the other side. "The United States is not inter ested in the ruin and destruction of Germany, neither materially nor otherwise. Germany is no lcmger a competitor of the United States and will hardly ever be able to again compete with them. Why should the United States want to destroy Germany? "If they consent to our ruination it will not conduce to the prestige cf T the United States , nor to the fame and reputation of Woodrow Wilson, the advocate andyprophel oK the principles of self-abnegation; All this makes it as. plain as day light. Wilson was manoeuvered into the position he finds himself in today, but this position' was not and is not of his- own choosing' Frenjch Baroness Hangs Up -' Airplane Altitude Record Paris, June 13.

That there might be no doubt about their meaning they insisted that the juris diction of the. high tribunal whose constitution x they f recommended should include' the heads oi states and they therefore inserted a pro- vision to this effect ui x expresi words in the clause dealing with the jurisdiction .of the tribunal. In view of their objection to the uncertain lam to be applied, varying according to the conception of the members of the high court as to the laws and principles of humanity, and in view also of their objections to the extent of the proposed jurisdic tion of that -tribunal, the American representatives were constrained to decline to be a party to its crea tion. Necessarily they declined to proffer on behalf of the commis sion that the United States lake part in the proceedings before the tribunal or to have the United States represented in the prosecut ing commission charged with the duty ' of 'selecting the cases' for trial before he tribunal and of di recting and:k conducting prosecu tions before it" ... . ?
