dld Mr.. Asquith, that German industrv
ana commerce are in a bad way, a
cohdltion which would continue until
Germany had surrendered the terrific.
ries occupied and had paid the indem.
mites imposed.
"hat were the feelings of the
French when they read the words of
boaster who talks loudly because he
imasines England secure against the
suffering Of this war? Twenty years
Is long time when the army of the
enemy occupies the center of the coun.
try. No, even the pledges of the
Times are not sufficient to ban the
pessimism which made itself felt in
France. In all the comment made on
the situation there is but one instance
that could impress the French. The
Petit Partisan asserts that Germany
intends to tell the Russian and Eng
fish: We will crush France and will
then be ready to make peace with you
at the expense of France But this
assertion Is false, and the facts will
demonstrate how false they are!
We are at war with France, be-
cause, in consequence of an impolitic
alliance, and misled by intriguers, it
was brought to the side of Russia
But we are principally concerned with
the reduction of Russia In her direc
ton we see a elimination and weaken
ing of giant and the making of qua.
rantees-the moral idea of this great
war and the grand goal for which, If
necessary we will continue to fight
for twenty years, even in spite of the
fact that since the days of Lembere
we do no pnger underestimate the
magnitude Of the task.
Even those masters of cheap
phrases who do not look death in the
eye as do our brave soldiers in the
field must realize that only the com
plete victory of the Germans over the
Russians can secure the position OIL
Germany's future and that a peace
treaty otherwise would be a scrap o.
paper without value. AS we hope ant
believe, the moment will come wher
the affair which France has forced
upon us against our wishes will enc
favorably for us and when we will BIZ
in position to concentrate our efforts
against the Russians. We will SEE
then whether the English and Frencl
will still have the inclination to dras
on the war in favor of Russia indefi
nitely One will then have to ask thu
French: Have those of you who hav'
no personal interests in Russia no
paid enough? And then also England
will be asked-with most appreciabl
emphasis: Are you willing to risl
more for Russia's might and aggran
dizement-if necessary for twent.
years."
