We will not; and even if we would, to do so would be both cowardice and a crime. Conquest has played a crime. Conquest has played a part in the evolution of human society, and no ore can say with assurance that its rule is over. Impossible to assert, for example, that Mexico had been conquered for the last time, or that its conquest by the Euited States would not make for general progress

To the current number of that well conducted periodical," War and Peace, which I and always stimulating and olten valuable, there is a special supple. ment entitled "Quotations showing the effect in Germany and Austria of extreme proposals in this Country as to the four quotations, chiefly from newspapers, including a few from neutral papers, which latter, by the way, are negligible. As regards the quotations from German nad Austrian newspapers, it ought not to he necessary to say that these newspapers notoriously show, not what their publics are thinking, but what their Govern extra thinking by a dear from the that enemy Governments are thinking angrily, and that Mr. Asquith is the main target of the anger. It is also clear from the extracts that enemy newspapera have received orders to dis tort Mr. Asquith's statement of the Allies' objects.

The distortion is mono, fanous,

infantile, and patent. Of course, militarism is the prime cause of Teutonic annoyance. It was bound to be a cause of annoyance. Yet in that phrase Mr. Asquith excellently expressed the Allied purpose, and the Germans may as well get it firmly

into their heads. But the official British declaration is not new. Mr. Asquith merely repeated this year what he said previously He did not add to it nor take away from it. The Germans heard it at the begin then They laughed at it. They now exhibit pain and shock at the very same declaration, and they call it aggressive Why do they grimace and call it agres sive now, whereas of bid they laughed easily 1 The reason is plain. Another point. The Press quotations have much to say about the evident intention of Bri tain to overthrow Germany economically --no doubt apropos of our new tariff reform campaign. For myself, I regard the tariff-reform campaign as entirely idiotic, but I do not see that Germany a champion of tariffs, can usefully com plain about it. The implied object of the War and Peace supplement is to prove that the acts and words of British statesmen have recently been tending to exasperate the bellicosity of Germany and so to postpone reace. The supplement nerves no such thing. In so far as it proves anything, it proves simply that the enemy Governments are as ungrupu lons as ever in prevarication and that they are losing confidence.
