He paid a tribute to the large-hearted and sportsmanlike way the British were celebrating peace-no riadie tiveness, no hymns of hats. "I have had little differences, with the British, as you have had, but let as freely and frankly admit that they are a great people-(Chsers). The fearfulness of the fate of Prussian militarism is the most awful and most. volemn judgment in history, but all Europe to-day is broken and bleeding and her sacient institutions are collapsing wholesale."

THE FREEING OF Alsace Lorraine.
Paris, November 15.
On the whole Front the armies are ready for the great march to the Rhine. Marshal Fook is expected to be soon making a solemn entry
into Mets. The work of taking over the disannexed terri- lotiss of Alsace Lorraine on the heels of the retiring Germans began. on Wednesday.
It was rapidly being recognised that a League of Nations had became The Tribanal, it was saggested, should be composed of a akeer practical necessity. The inter-Allied machinery which was go. Represent stives of all countries which have suffered by German ing to ration the countries against hanger was the first step towards | orusality, a League. Similarly, owing to shortages, raw materials would have to be rationed: The future map of Europe would soon be a veritable. radley of small nations, soms of which were already threatened with internal disorders. Therefore, a future international organisation to keep peace was imperative. Thus the Leagus, from small beginnings, would develop vitality and attract a great volume of public opinion, eventually becoming strong enough to essay the supreme taak of preserving the peace of the world. The League, moreover, could be usefully employed to depate a nation to act on the Lesgua'a belsif in governing certain territories, as in the che of some German ex-Colonies. Some of these were quite fairly and properly claimed by, and must given to the Dominion which conquered them, but as regards those not so olsimed certain Panera might bs depaled to hold each Colonies as mandatories of the League until the queation of their ultimate disposal was settled, because the Allies would resist to the utmost their restoration to Germany, as is was impossible to foresee how Germany would develop in the future.
