Swansea, Aug. 15.-Winston Spencer Churchill,
president of the Board of Trade. addressing a
meeting of miners here to-day, deplcred the
wild language of those persons who were en-
deavoring to spread the belief that an Anglo
German war was inevitable. The alarmists, he
said had no grounds for spreading a panic. The
only result of struggle between the two coun-
tries would be disaster of the most appalling
character. I'VE told the colonies could be
seized" Mr. Churchill added, but Canada Aus
tralia South Africa and India pursuing their
own destinies and these destnes will not be
altered as the result of any struggle between
European powers. These two great peoples
Germans and BritOns) have nothing to fight
about-nc prize to fight for and no place to

Mr.. Churchill closed by saying that he did not
suppose there were ten thousand persons in
Germany who seriously contemplate the hell
