or en arrived back iii Ottawa short- devils by wiioiin German milltai-isis
ly after noon-yesterday. He was mot
st the station by Lady Borden, I-Ion,
Frank Cochrane, Hon. Mlartin Bur- rell, llon, Arthur Meiglien, Speaker
Rhodes, -Major General Bigger nnd Captain Ellis of the Militia Depart- ment. The boat which the Premier crossed made her record since the war from port to port, having made the trip in the remarkable time cf 5 days 19 hours. At one point the life boat of a torpedoed steamer was sighted ,just prior to rescue by patrol boats. Otherwise the crossing was without incident.
OTTAWIA, Ont., August 26.-Refer
ring to thework of the Imperial war Conference Sir Robert -Borden yes- terday declared the Canadian repres- entatives carried out ar definite poi- icy of preserving complete freedom of action to the Government and Par- liament of Canada in the policy and methods to be adopted for co-opernt- ion with other parts of the Empire in any common purpose. He referred to conclusions of great moment having been reached. adding that "Before the close of the present year further im- portant decisions must necessarily be taken."
NEW YORK, .Aug-ost 23.-The/Can-
adian Press, Sir iitobert made the fol- lowing statement: ' ` "I was on the other side ofthe At- lantic lust ten rweeks, and I return wiith the conviction that never was the spirit of the Allied nations more steadfast or moreresolute than at present.
‘f'l‘he greater portion of my time
was spent in England, where I ar- rived just after the German had con- ducted a successful ol‘fensive,' first against the British, and then against the French during the spring. The effect of that success has been coin- pletely dissipated by the recent de feat of the Austrians in italy, and or the Germans in France."
In referring to the arrival of tha
large American forces overseas, Sir
Robert said there was most effective*
and harmonious co-operation be- tween the armies of the United State.-I Great Biiltain and Fraiice, as well as. the navies. ‘
"The Canadian army welcome the
opportunity to iight side -by side with their`ltius‘men of this commonwealth," the Plremier said. During the Geimaii offensive inthe eariyspring montlizi the Canadian divisions were' not en- gaged -but during recent weeks they have won as conspicuous a victory as ever fell to their lot since the outbreak of the war. Driving forward on a considerable front they hurled hack the Germans fourteen miles and captured nearly 10,000 prisoners, and more .than one hundred and ilfty cannon. Their casualties numbered considerably less thantthelr prison- ers. And they held all the ground which they captured.

to ii. finish and that there shrill be
are possessed must be cast out; the spell with which they have bound the German people.must be broken. Until then `Germariy cannot become regenerated. -Lt may be a hard lesson but the German people must learn it.
Mastery ofthe Air _
“As mastery oi' the air passes more
and more completely to the Allies, the German people will more and mort- realize. through wiir cai'i-ie-(.~ to theii own territories, the mai-tyrdom to which they relentlessly subjected oth er nations. it may 'be a hard lesson but they cannot be saved from them selves unless they are compelled tt learn it. 'lt is equally the duty oi’ tht Allied nations to purge Germany oi her inadness`»hy unsparing use of eco nomic pressure until she has giver convincing manifestation of sanit) and a clean spirit. Let no selfish pm' pose of divergence of interest impedi uniteil action to this end‘. An assnssii state must 'be barred from the society of decent cominonwealths until the; ure convinced of its sincere repent ance.
Canada fights with no ag-gressiv;
or selfish -purpose, ibut to secure tht pence of the world, to safeguard lib erty and to maintain public right. She is thoroughly conscious that vas' responsibilities will rest upon thi Allied nations, and especially upoi the British and American common wealths when conditions of peac- come to be determined. I firmly he lieve that the future peace of th- world rests largely, and indeed, chie’ ly upon unity of purpose and of sci ion between these two democracies; ilnlc.-is this strenuous respons1hlln_ is realized and inet, we shall not hav- lulfllled our highest duty to -this or Io future generations. With nation- us with individuals, power is insei- arable froin responsibility; and'dut_\ cannot 'he fiiliilled by declining i just cull to leadership, however diill cult its task may be.
“TI trust that these two mighty dc
mocracies, united by strong- ties o kinship, languages and ideal may in spirc each other with complete coi. ildence ami sympathy in earnest ain unseliish purpose ami nction to coin inand the world’s peace and -to secui' safety and equality of_ opportuiiit for the smaller nationalities and fo' the backward races of the world. Th. supreme result -would indeed crowz all oui' sacrifices' ami would giv- us much to hope from u. wider leagu- of nations."
