REVENTION'S PLEA. Perusal of the British and French Press has convinced Count Reventlow that the tone of confidence which is struck in uvery public speech by the responsible Ministers of those countries is simply due to their mistaken idea that Gormany is becoming tired of the war, and would welcome peace almost on any terms. The oxcellent publicist of the Deutsche Tager zeitung appeals therefore to the German public not to whimper, not to complain, and bot to talk about peace as if it were a desirable contingency :
We must again and again repeat cur for sational discipline, exhortation Discipline of that sort is the more na tural to us, as we all know, that we have in Germany no want of any kind, either actually in existence or knocking at the door. We also know equally well that there is no fealing of tiredness of the war that would diretly or in directly in the least impair our physical and moral strength to continue the war. No one is fighting to-day in the war merely for pleasure, but we are of opinion that every German is animated by the obvious truth that the sword ought not to be put back into the scabbard until such a success is achieved as will secure to the German nation the security in the West as well as in the East which was indicated in the Kaiser's decree of August Hongkong Observatory, January 4th.
