CAPITALISING "CONQUESTS."
Jx discussing tlio rumours time tlio Teutons .nro throwing out feelers for peace, the "'Sydney iLorning Herald" says:—
"If Germany reached a point at. which sho felt convince! that, in n military sense, sho was slowly but surely going down hill, that it was inipossiibfe .for hor.to liold her "conquests*," then' tlio most logical ston she cm Id take would bo to attempt to c-a.|>iba*l:«s>3 /chose conquests while she st'H had tliehi. On tlio basis of thorn she could get terms, even though she l'eit within herself that siio was noa.nii to; the end of h,>,r tebher; whereas, if sho waited till she had to fall hack to her own borders —to say nothing of being heaten on her own territory—she ■would, in asking for peace, be largely at the mercy of her enemies. This is tlio wliole point about the German pioaco talk—Mio capitalisation of her 'conquests.' " ■
