SECRET HISTORY OF THE

SUBMARINE WAR. IMPORTANT REVELATIONS

The Handelsblod recently had a long and interesting article explaining the causes which led to the adoption by Ger many of the policy of unlimited suh marine warfare. Circumstances, says the Dutch paper, of a romantic character, which it would be obviously indiscreet to disclose, have placed in the hands of a correspondent a number of highly in- teresting and important documents bear Fortunately, ing upon this question. ample time was given to read them and to make notes, so that there is every rea- son to believe that the following informa tion is accurate in all particulars:—

At the close of the year 1915 the Ger man Admiralty Staff prepared a semi official memorandum to prove that an onrestricted submarine campaign would compel Great Britain to sue for pence

THE END OF A CRISIS.

PRIME MINISTER'S STATEMENT.

The Prime Minister scored a great Par- liamentary succca on February 19th (says The Times). He not only fulfilled his promise to explain to the House of Commons the circumstances which led to the resignation of Sir William Robert son of the office of Chief of the Imperial General Staff, but gave a detailed so count of the changes recently made in the Versailles Council, together with the arguments which induced the Allied original plan. The xplanation proved to be irresistible, and it gave all but universal satisfaction

THE BURGLAR EMPIRE

PEACE WITH LOOT,

The Bolsheviks of Russia, having renounced their country's honourable engagements, having repudiated their country's just debts, having used the wen pons given them by their Allies, to quell their political opponents or to purchase pooks of cards, lull themselves to sleep. by crooning, "No indemnities, no annexa tione." And the Bolsheviks of England,

No indemnities, no annexations..! the Bolsheviks of East and West, in their touching desire to appear magnanimous, omit the ambitions of Germany from their argument. Knowledge of the truth is dis tasteful to them. They prefer to live in a fool's paradise. And though Germany with a single voice shouts in their ears that she will annex whatever she can grab, they do not hear her.

One of the most melancholy character Governments to extend the scope of their picking up the refrain, parrotwise repeat istics of the war by which mankind in now being desolated is the daily viola tion of the most solemn conventions what were styled laws of war, those agreements by which it was hoped to diminish war's cruelty.

MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S SPEECH He showed once more that the general principle of the extension of the potters of the Versailles Council was agreed to whole heartedly by everybody. There was agreement that there must be a cen- tral authority to exercise supreme direc- tion over that policy; that it must be an inter Allied authority, And that if raising our voice against a barbarous in dillerence was as to how the central au- novation which science is tending to thority should be constituted. In a very interesting passage, the Prime Minister perfect trading, that is to say, to ender indicated the course of discussion at the even more murderous and more refer recent conference, and explained how in its cruelty. We refer to that use of
