.As we write on Thursday the German Government have not
appointed fresh Peace delegates to sign the Treaty. The military party is clamouring against the terms, and leading politicians are suggesting that the Treaty will only be another "scrap of paper." Definite proof of the Government's designs is supplied in a German official telegram of Saturday last which was in- tercepted by the Polish authorities. In this message the Govern- ment said that, though they would sign the Peace Treaty, the Prussian High Commissioners in Silesia and in East and West Prussia would declare war, and would receive " unofficially " the support of Berlin. Prussia tricked Napoleon in this way in 1812-13, and thinks to trick us now. The Allies on Wednesday
warned the German Government that they would be held respon- sible for executing the Treaty in the East as well as in the West. But Marshal Fooh will doubtless have to show that there is armed force behind these polite reminders from Paris.
