Frank H. Simons, noted military
critic, says: ''If Germany is engaged
in another peace offeneive, designed
to divide ber enemies and tbos to
escape tbe consequences of ber present defeat; if sbe is acting in bad
faitb, tben onr only protection is our
army and oar generals. And we cannot know whether she is acting in
good or bad faitb until sbe indicates
her willingness to accept conditions
predicated upon military defeat.
The thing is eo simple that it is incredible tbat it sbouid not be understood. We might just as well agree
to talk witb a murderer about tbe
i abolition of capital punishment while
tbat murderer was still unapprehended and defying the servants of the
law as to talk peace witb Germany
while she remains in arms. Tbere Is
only one man in the world qualified
to fix tbe terms of the armistice
wbich Germany bas asked for, and
tbat is Marshal Foch. It is his department and only bis. President
Wilson bas a rigbt to debate witb
Oermany aa to tbe good faitb of ber
proposal if he chooses, bat tbe debate
is personal, and it is obviously infernally dangerous. -It is particularly
dangerous wben It brings in the discussion of peace terms, wbicb are
not yet properly before any one."
