It is futile for Chancellor Michnetis to talk of proofs of a secret' trialy Between France and the fummer Russian Government by which Free was to nike territorial gains in addition to tiầy recovery of Alsace-Lorraine. The world remembers the "proofs of Serret agreements between. Belgium and Great Britain, which were proofs indeed, since | Pte. A. R. Lowe, "B" Co, is granted 21

The German Governan and the respingaible statesmen of Germany have repeatedly shown themselves. Er bi so false in heart and word, so lost to all serise of honour, that nobody any longer puts faith in their outgivings. Moreover, the French note to Russia on June 11th- in reply to the Russian commitment to the policy of ng annexations mid no indemnities, declared that " Francs will never aspire to snatch any territory from its legitimate owners." But the insolence of this nectisation against France breumes; atupefying when, we consider thở matured German plan, attested by, a hundr evidences boasted of and forth with detail and specification for the creation of a "Mitteleuropa," a vast sphere of German influence thrown thwart the pathway of the world between the EasMusketry Course... / ́at for Transport and West, assuring to the Imperial Power serure basis for the execution of its adisigns of word dunination.
"The Chuiuscilor dots not say that Bel- giom will be restored in its people re habilitated, or ven, made independent, No responsible. Gerinen statesman has promised that He says nothing of Berbin or Roumanin. There is not a word in his faithless talk about a pence of understanding and agreement that can be construed as a peace otherwise that ok Gorman terms, a peace that would have Germany free to rebuild her forces and ravage the world again. To such a proce the Allies will never consent, they will make no peace. that does not leave the world safe for democracy, for that would bs an abandonment of their aims, it would mean that the three years war has been fought in vain, that millions of lives and billions of wealth have been destroy- ed for nothing.

The ORDERS FOR ENGINESH COMPANY BY CAPTAIN
W. RUSBELL
Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, in echoing the words of the German Chancellor, declares that he is indifferent whether his admission that the Vienna Government would consent to an honourable peace be regarded as a sign of weakness or of strength." Allies construe this significant penec ilk from Berlin and Vigana on the same day 5 in only one way. It is unmistakable proof of weakness. The statesmen of the two Imperial Governinents make appeal not only to their own peoples, hoping to fortify them for the endurance of trials that grow every day more heurt-reading, but they in also to win the world's sympathy. They know that in every way there is a public opinion opposed to it, the opinion of pacifists and of that class of the faint-hearted who consider only the slaughter and the suffering, ever raising their eyes to the great work of regeneration and deliverance for which this war, at least, was undertaken, They hope for a responsive rchs which will never reach their cars. Our own deter- nination was well expressed by Secretary' Lansing in his sound and able pre sentation of our aims in the war, that speech addressed to the young men in training at Madison Barracks to which every loyal American heart will respond. There will be no sign of weakness on the part of the Allies. We are confident that the world will see increased signs of weakness in Germany and in Austria.
It cannot be otherwise. For three years they have marvellously withstand the might of France, England, Italy, and Bussin If the Allies, with the com. merca of the world open to thein, feel the loss and cost and strain and terrible burden of war, what must be the condi tion of Germany and Austria, cribled and confined by hostile blockades, almost completely shut in by the iron ring of their enemies 1 And at this stage of the war, when the evidence of their distress. accumulates, the greatest Power on earth, with millions of men, untold resources and dauntless courage, joins the forces allied against them. Only madmen, or men self-deceived against all revelations of truth, would persist in a conflict so. hopeless, of which the end is so inevitable. The men of the Imperial Government are both inad and self-deceived, but they cannot indefinitely endure the terrific assaul's and 'privations about to be put upon them. Our duty was never so plain, never so clearly evident to our minds. We must prepare with overwbeing force and with all our resources to make the attack upon Germany irresistible, to compel her to accept terms of peace that. will assure the safety of the nations of the world of liberty and democracy against the further menace of Prussian mili tarism. We must marshal against her our whole enormous strength in the shortest possible time, for that is the way to end the war speedily.NY Times.
