German Crimes Exposed.

The following statement has heen issued by the British Foreign Office:-

The Prime Ministers and For- eign Ministers of the Entente, assembled in London, feel it to be their bounden" duty to take note of the political orimes which; ander the name of a German been committed pence, have against the Russian people.

Russie was unarmed. Forgett ing that for four years Germany had been fighting against the independence of the nations and the rights of mankind the Russian Government, in a mood of singalar credelity, expected to obielo-by-per-qasion “democratic peace" which it had failed to obtain by war.

The reelta were immedis'e. The armistice had not expired before the German Command, though pledged not to alter the disposition of its troops, trans- ferred them en masse to the Western Front ; and so weak did

Bassian national life was reduced by it to a shadow.

For us of the Entente Govern. ments the judgment which the

ples of the world will pass on these tranenctions could zerar be in doubt. Why waste time over German pledges, when we see that st no period in her history of conquest not when she over- ran dilesia, not when she parti- tioned Poland-has ehe exhibited herself so cynically as the.. destroyer of national independ- euce, the implacable enemy of the rights of man and the dignity of civilized nations ?

"

Poland, whose heroic spirit has survived the cruellest of national tragedies, is threatened with a fourth partition, and to aggravate her wrongs the devices by which the last trace of her independence is to be crashed are based on fraudulent promises of freedom

What is true of Bassis and Poland is not less true of Romanis, overwhelmed, like them, in the flood of a merciless 2sion for domination.

Pesca is loudly advertised, but under the this disguise of verbal tho brutal professiona lurk realties of war and the untemper- ed rule of lawless fros.

Pesce treaties such as these we

Rusia find herself that she dareddo not, and cannot, acknowledge, raien no protest against this grant violation of dermany's plighted word.

What followed was of like oharacter. When the "German Peace" was translated into action it was found to involve the invasion of Russian territory, the destruc sion or

Oar owa suds are very different; we are fighting, and mean to con tinue fighting, in order to finish once for all with this polioy-of- plander, and to establish in it place the peaceful reign of organized justice.

Ar the incidents of this long war unroll themselves before our eyes, more clearly do we perceive that the battles for freedom are

everywhats interdependent; that

no separate enumeration of them is needed; that in every case the single but all sufficient appeal is to justion and right.

Are justice and right going to win? In so far as the issue de pends on battles yet to some, the nstions whose faté" în in the bilsson may surely put their trust in armies which, even under con sitions more difficult than the present, showed themselves more
