’i`here has likewise 'been a general
combing out of nil line troops 'of lllore tilan 45 apparently still under lway. it is lpositively known that the best of the 1919 class of Germany’s lnen are being drafted into the infantry lllld that fathers witll lurge families, have already -lost some members in the field, are lhelng allowed to return home. Certain categories ol' workmen have also fhecn sent buck from the iight- iug lines. lt is believed that dis- charge from the army oi' about 50,000 coal miners have lbeen requested 'by the Internal government oi’ Germany, and that albout half of these have ui- rendy lben thus relieved from tight- lng duty.

owing the collapse ot` Russia and the invasion of italy, confidence in Cler- many's ability t0 win the war was re- vived ill tlle military party; then_tlle expressions resumed their olll tone of lietorlnillation to nlake the wal' n vast cullquest. 'Foliay i.ho delllalllis for a cotllplctc victory and the dict- ltion of the hardest terms to the defeated enemy is voiced ev,el'ywhere.

_wil.s.the.nnly.nlleanl-Lto assert to the
world. Nothing is more lnistalcen than the belief that we are waging mort- aliy ll decisive war; on the contrary. we were compelled to assert the pos- ition of power to which we have at- tuillcd and to force other nat- ions to recogllize it. This can be accomplished only by delllollstratlons of power by defeat- ing others and occupying fresh terr- itory conllncnsurate with that power. W’hell the farmer has money he buys land; when a state strengthens inter- nally it expands.
Tile feeble protests oi' the social-
ist newspapers are unneeded. The Munic Post, the Bavarian socialist or- gan. says: "The German nation took up arms to fight a wal' of de- fense, not of conquest. The mar- vellous strength .of the nation has developed from the belief that it is fighting to save its hearths and homes. to defend the freedom of the country. After three years of war the people still believe the war was defensive and declare it should end ill peace and understanding. But how suddenly our war alms are stated to he conquest. the policy of peace by understanding is changed for peace dictated by the award. The people have spoken both in Ger- many and Austria, they have declared for n policy based on an understand- ing for peace witllout annexation.
The Chemitz Volts Stimm, another
socialist organ. deprecates a policy ot’ open or veiled annexations, be- cause a later generation will be com- pelled thereby to wage another war when the Russian people realize their disgrace.

“I have also information," he con-

For these reasons. Mr. ‘Lewis sta-
