THE GERMAN PEACE CHORUS,
THE LATEST RECRUIT.
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 7. The latest addition to the German Peace chorus is Dr. Erzberger, the leader of the powerful Catholic Centre Party, which has hitherto been the most powerful Parliamentary supporter of the Militarists.
Dr. Erzberger, on being interviewed, declared that Germany did not desire world dominion. A military" victory would only, divide the world into two camps. He personally agreed with Earl Grey regarding a League of Nations, which must form part of future practical, politics.

The machine guns left behind proved quite inadequate to compromise the pace of roads and villages was also spasmodic and planlass. The Franch, further east, experienced stiffer resistance, but the Americana everywhere gained the crest of the bills and are able to overlook the long promised" add. There may be some sharper fighting to-day, if the last rearguards have not withdrawn across the river at night-time, but it is quite plain that in the American sector the ground on this side of the Aisne is going to be conceded.
