They will have to go back, also, upon the most cautious and carefully chosen pronouncements of the last three Chancellors. There can be no meaning in the design of saving the Flemings from the tyranny of the Walloons, and the whole of Belgium from subserviencs to France and Britain, if the laborious administrative machinery set up by von BISSING and his successors is to be scrap- ped on the conclusion of peace! Poland, without Dentsic or Fosen, will be such a constant source of disturbance to all her neighbours that, if the now Russian Socialism abandons it, the two Central Powers will be constrained in self-defence to repeat the great crime of 1772. What ever the word used, Germany will, if she gets the chance, definitely enlarge her borders with new Schleswigs and Posens and Alsace-Lorraines on some plausible pretext, as the Russians have already dis covered in the peace pourpariers. There will not be "annexations" but guaran tees for security, and the effect on the lands taken and on Europe will be exactly similar.

how stands the case for Austria-Hungary The News Free Presse, speaking for the -Austrian Germany, has declared that the sole endeavour of the Austro-Hungarian WATSON & Monarchy has been to ensure its existence, its frontiers, and its future (a suficiently wide formula), and that this has now been proclaimed as the basis of the policy of
