BEYOND THE RHINE.
The suggestion that Germany shall withdraw her troops beyond the Rhine does not, curiously enough, commend itself to those German newspapers which are loudest in their demand for peace. The Heidelberg Tageblat says: "Our faces grow red with wrath and' exasperation on reading the contemptuous speeches of Lloyd George, Carson, and the rest of,the wretched clique of English war hounds. The red of our ■wrath is made even ledder by the flush of shame that the Reichstag majority should have invited this humiliation by a peace message which, it might have been known beforehand, was certain to be rejected. "Imagine it, Germans, we are actually ordered to withdraw across the Rhine*! After this can there still be one man in the whole of the Fatherland who will dare talk of peace? There is now nothing more for us to do but to keep our mouths shut and to wait patiently until Hindenburg and the TJ boats have done their work."
