condemp the next generation to "terrors which even the vividest imagination daro not portray." The German Junkers would acclaim the rostilt of the way as a triumph and use it as an argument for the continuation and development of their past policy. In the vigorous and pictures que language of the PRIME MINISTER, "the real enemy is the war-spirit fostered in Prussia with its idea of a world in which force and brutality would, reign supreme.
That war-spirit is enshrined in Potsdam,-and there will aot be any peace or liberty in the world until that shrine is shattered and its priesthood dispersed and discredited for ever." The task is formidable, but with endurance, concentration and unity it can be accom. plished, for, thanks to the advent of America in the war and the increasing failure of submarinism, time is on our side."

Proof of this is furnished by the programme whith the delegate of the Workmen's and Soldiers' Contacil of Russia will submit to the forthcoming Conference between the Allies in Paris. In this it is suggested that the destiny of Alsace-Lorraine. and the Italian Irridenta should be determined by full and uninfluenced plebiscite, that compensation to the countries devastated by the German invader, should be paid out of an international fund, and that the colonies wrested from Germany should be returned. That follows closely the formula "No annexations and no ia demnities" and is precisely what the Central European Powers would wish. Neither France nor Italy, however, is in the least likely to consent to its claims being decided by the vote of enemy sub- jects who have been planted! in Alsace-Lorraine, Trieste, and Trentino in furtherance of a definite object. Nor will the idea of transferring to their own shoulders a great part of the obligations which the Central Powers have incurred to Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro, Ros. mania and Poland appeal to the Entente.
