Mr.. Asquith in his address said this will
be n long war, but thele is nothing il a long
struggle to deprcss us, or IN what has hap
pened. Our enemy hns tired three objec-
tives, Paris, Warsaw, and Calais, and been
ba flied in MI, hut that IS not erongh und we
shall not shenthe the sWuId, which we hive
not lightly drawn, until Belgium has recov-
cred more than she has sacrificed, until
France is adequately secured against menace,
until the rights of the smaller nntionnlilies
have been placed upon IN unussailable found
alton, and until the military domination Of

suited the unprecedented times.
NJ. Cambon, The French Ambassador
spoke MS follows: eve are allied for
the defence Of liberty and for The pr
lection Of oppressed nationaIlies. We have
never had any other end in view than
the maintenance of peace, AMI despite
all the snares laid for us we have never
ceased to work for Ii, and it is II libel to
assert that any moment we cherished wAElike
montal reservations. We did not attack, we
acted in self defense, and we do not seek
to slake the lusts Of conquest anl domiLa-
ton, we simply wish to have European civil
lizltion. We know this war has been long
prepared, that the most powerful Instruments
of destruction have been created and that
there has been inculcated into n whole peo-
pie the cult OF force md the disdain Of right.
There has been a persistent cndeAYuur to
bnish Ill feeling Of humanity from lis henrt,
aud a once orderly nation has been turned
into a horde of bnlbarinns. These PROBES
sors Of brutality thought they had foreseen
everything, but they had not fol eseen that
they would come into conflict with the con-
science Of the civilized world. In Tins muir
Gerous war, the most terrible the world has
ever seen, we remain true TO our ideal Uf
humanity and liberty, and in this IDEAL VIC
have a source of moral energy which viii
enable us to master the material forces
massed against US"

get hard to miss. Cuisines Us usuul' was
En8land's motto, while Germany was myag-
ing her easy prey. Germuny's successes
were conspicuous, but without amy in4uenA
tiol result. Despite her losses, England's
navy was stronger thar at the beginNing.
while the internal economical pressure was
forcing Germany to her doom as surely as
winter strips the leaves from the trees.
