A German Condition of Peace. For the Batbmän-Bollwegs of. our time to, profess that this was s principle of British policy of which the world had never heard until Sir Edward Grey proclaim- ed it last August is to assume an igaorance which it is certain Dever existed in the German chancellery, and it is, indeed, but a mera plea to cover an act of brigandage which the German War Lords.calculated that the British and French military power combined was too feeble to prevent. Their design partially succeeded, because neither France nor Great Britain bad regarded the German Government 88 so utterly dead to all sense of national honour as to treat än international treaty, without warning, aaa mere scrap of paper," and they wore thus ill- prepared to meet the aggression, Bat the suba quent history of the war has given Germany a different idea of the possible war strength of both Great Britain and France, The British Empire has placed in the field an army worthy of her place in the world, and the definite purpose of that army, in co-operation with the French and the Belgians, is to expel every bostile soldier from the soil of France and Belgium, and not until that purpose is accomplished ean there be any thought of peace.
