LONDON, September SIT is generally

was announced Saturday, was not given
out to the public in full, but that there
is a secret agreement. much more far

countries.
The Times in an editorial says the
declaration of the allies that they are de-

war without discord and self-seeking I'M

in black and white certain facts that
were known to every one except the Ger

in the memorable declaration by DR..
Eliot, ex-president of Harvard University,

that when France has suffered certa, n

everything but that suffering and Will

Chronicles Views.
The Daily Chronicle takes the view
that a more extensive understanding
has been reached than has been made
known, saying:
1.-THE conclusion of a definite treaty
between Great Britain, France and
Russia, engaging the three powers to
make peace jointly and not otherwise
is step to be welcomed. It's pubiica-

Standards Opinion.
The Standard says:
THE agreement emphasizes the fact
that victory for one means victory for
all. OF this there has never been any
doubt, but the declaration is more than
a platitude.
1T has been made fairly clear re-
Gently that Germany has been indulg-
ing in the hope, sooner or later, to be
able to drive wedge between the al
lies, to buy Off Russia at the expense

to spare her in consideration Of

THAT none of the allies would in

BERLIN, August 2!.-Nearly four
weeks of the European war have passed

gazette rolls out its long Lists of killed.
