It may 1 likened to a fight between two ii dividuuls and t'.ie terms of peace i such cases are usually made by tli victor. If the terms i. ipos <1 upo Germany by the allied powers seei harsh. Germany shou'd expect ti more. Germany waged an linn lentless warfare, committed innun erable crimes against its enemii and civilization, murdered innt cents, shot down Edith C'avell, d< liberately dragged the Uuited Siat? into the war after being repeated! warned of the consequences.
