PICHON SAYS FRANCE

Former Foreign Minister Warns
Against Reconciliation
With Germany.
spscfd, Gable Dc,pa,ch 10 THE suS.

PARIS, Oct Former Minister OF
Foreign Affairs Pichon. writing edltorially
in the Pstn journal, heads his article :
Let us not be dupes."
NJ Pichon expresses surprise that any
discussion should be heard concerning the
eventual conditions which would result
from a reconciliation between the French
and the Germans. He recalls the words
OF Edgar Qulnet. who said: History
hates dupes and places them almost
among the ranks OF criminals. thereby
doing what is only evident Justice"
NJ. Pichon says Germany has duped
France long enough by multiplied assur-
ances that the Kaiser would never declare
war. by peoplng France with SPIES by
preparing for a siege OF French forts
under cover OF commercial undertakings.
Shall some OF ny still be deluded," he
asks, Unto believing that future under
standing is possible with country which
has sworn to exterminate us? II is not
merely certain individuals In Germany
who have decided to destroy France and
to make our nationality and name dis
appear from the face OF the earth. to
make the country sort OF Brandon
burg colony, This intention is not merely
that OF the Kaiser and the Government,
not merely the intention OF the Pan-Ger-
manic party, but belongs to the whole
nation. which feels that II beaten In this
war the unity whereof II is so proud, the
power based on our destruction. would
disappear forever"
NJ. Pichon concludes that the only peace
acceptable Is one which hanss upon the
condition that Prusslan miiitsrism be de-
stroyed forever.

I have arrived at Calais after a six
days tour OF the country north OF the
allies left wing and northwest of the
main armies. Without disclosing the
particulars OF military operations things
may be said which should go far to-
ward removing misgivings concerning
the ultimate outcome Of this immense
struggle.
The official statements OF the French
War Office are Informative to degree
which rs not apparent to the multitude,
which has no conception of the vast
scheme of operations being steadily de-
veloped to the undoing of the German
forces.
Far from overstating the facts the
official announcements tell but a frac-
ton of the truth. The moment is, how
ever, rapidly approaching when the cur
tain may be lifted on one of the greatest
dramas ever known.
The great battle line, as shown by
the officia. notes, is becoming steadily
greater. The position OF the German
right wing is such that the portion be-
tween Lassigny and Chaulnes is in ex-
IRENE danger. The German line, which
II few days ago faced to the west, has
been obliged to shift until II now faces
northwest. This move was necessary
because the German front has been
bent back on the main line bases, which
are. roughly speaking. Chaulnes, Cam
brai and Valenciennes.
Last Sunday five uhlans mounted on
bicycles were captured near Valen-
ciennes. shortage of horses brought
them to the use OF the TWO wheeled
steed. They said they had had nothing
to eat for several days. They were
from Won Kluck's army. the position OF
which. as has been apparent for some
time, has been made more dangerous by
the fact that the German General StaY
has been crowding reenforcements upon
him and has thus partly at least over
taxed the commlssariat which he had
prepared.
