back the Premier in his determination
that the sword is not to be sheathed
III til Germany is crushed. The feeling
against Germany is very bitter. but that
towards Austria is rather contemptuous
than otherwise. It is generally felt that
the dual monarchy will quit hostilitles
as soon as possible and it is even now
currently rumored that the Austrian
Government have warned the Germans
that unless they received sufficient sup
port to enable them to resist the Rus
sian advance. they would open ncgotia-
tions for peace with the Allies.
1t cannot be said whether there is any
truth in the suggestion, but it is at least
not improbable. The war has already
shaken the Austro- Hungarian Empire
to its foundations, and few more re-
verses may lead to it's overthrow. 1t is,
indeed. quite on the cards that Hungary
and Bohemia may proclaim their indie
pendence Of the Hapsburg monarchy.
Whether, oven if Austria sued for
separate peace, the Allies would grant
1t it is difficult to say. 1t must never
be forgotten that in any arrangements
regarding the future of the dual mon

her share Of the fighting. and that Italy

It is announced that a second contln-

LONDON. Sept. %
The sinking of three British cruisers
in the North Sea after they were tor
pedood by German submarines cast gloom
over London the more so as every one
had Winston Churchill's optimistic and
fighting speech fresh in mind.
1t is fully recognized what a trc-
mendous strain is imposed on the British
fleet in its tirelcss vigil and the natural
impatiencc of the mon for a fight. but
that the Germans are not altogether in
active is proved by yesterdays prompt
reply to Mr.. Churchil's uttcrancc.
In view of the disaster the following
narrative Of a Munich man who took
part in a German submarine trip to the
coast of Scotland is doubly Interesting
It is taken from the Munich Neuesta
Nachchenten, of last Wednesday, and
reads:
"At distance of 1900 metres from the
enemy we were playing the accordion
and the enemy never heard us More
than once when our motors were going
full blast we could not hear what the
accordion was playing. but We guessed
the tune from the movements of the
player and the looks of his fingers as
they glided over the keys.

1t was Tr-l5 that was sunk by II. NJ.

That the Germans have reoccupicd

LONDON. Sept %.

LONDON, Sept. %.
In view of the war raging in Europe
and the necessity of sending big drafts
of men to the front. Liberals are begin
ming to discuss the possibilities Of con-
scription. If conscription comes. and the
probabilities are that it will there will be
no time for protest as it would require
merely an order in Council and not an
act of Parliament. Conscrptionist news
papers. and they form the bulk of the
press at present, are hard at work and
have won the first point They will now
press their advantage. for they know
that such an opportunity may never
come again.
Once conscrption is upon England it
will hold good. TOR it will not pass at
the end OF the war, even in the event of
Germany being defeated. Russia will
afford ample excuse for riveting the
thrall rins of militarism more firmly
upon the throat of the English people, A
fortnight ago one had the hope that this
war would see the end Of Prussianism in
Germany; now a diminishing hope is
coupled with a lively fear that it may
see the birth Of it here 1t is true, no
responsible politician has suggested con-
sCriptiOn, but two months ago no re-
sponsibla politician suggested war. Lib
