YEARS. PEACE
IF ENGLAND WINS
Bishop of london Says British
Empires Fate Involves
Americans Future.

cablegram to The Star and the New York Times
LONDON. November THE Bishop
OF London in an interview with a New
York Times corresponaeaHTt today as
serted that If England should win in
the war it might mean peace for q
thousand years. He said he believed
England was fighting Americas fight
as well as her own, and for that rea-
son should get unstinted sympathy
from America. The bishop said:
am speaking to you both as a
Christian and an Englishman. This is
great day of God, and among the
things to be decided is the fate of the
British empire, which also involves
the future of America. When I was
over there 1 found we were more than
cousins; we are brethren, and England
Is really fighting Americas battle.
;, AS an Englfshman. 1 would rather
die than see England a German prov
nee and as a Christian 1 would rather
ale than see the Germans new god,
might Is right. prevail"
England's Attitude Meritorious.
The bishop said that England had
her faults, but that she had tried to
carry out the ideas of the New Testa-
ment. such as abiding by her treaties
and protecting weaker nations. He
added:
our word is our bond. So enormous
Is the stake in this way that we must
nght on with iron sacrifice. 1t is a
crisis of the worlds history, To lose
would be to lose all that is worth lay-
ing In the world. To win may mean
peace Tor thousand years. We must
show fortitude as when such a defeat
as that IN the Pacific faces U.S."
1t is the opinion of the bishop that
the only hatred felt in England for
Germany was for the spirit of mill
tarism. the kaiser spirit,". whereas.
ne pointed out. Germany fierce1y hated
the English nation. He went on:
we are a nation of gentlemen, who
snow chivalry Ato women and children
and have the spirit of forgiveness. We
must be above hate We must fight
with bigness of soul. and when the
gospel of might is right is crushed
We may be better friends with the
poorer classes of Germany than ever
before.
Bishop Aids in Recruiting.
The bishop was dressed in khaki. He
has taken conspicuous part in the re-
crultlng work, and an appeal he made
In two territorial camps resulted in
six battalions volunteering for foreign
service. For this he received the
thanks Of the commander chief. The
bishop says he was to address a re-
cruiting meeting today and remarked:
Il hope to obtain 1000 recruits"
The interview took place in the
bishops London house in ST. James
square. One conspicuous photograph
in the drawing room Is that of ex-
President Taft The bishop spoke
warmly of both Mr.. Taft and President
Wilson.

where similar changes had very serious

Belgian Communication.
The following Belgian official COM
munication was given out here today:
The situation on the User shows
no change. The enemy has posts on
the left bank of the river, but has
contented himself with a feeble
fire directed against the roads in
the environs of Ramscapelle.
THE defeats In Russian Poland
seem to have resulted in the re-
treat of portions of the enemy's
troops in Belgium. There has been
reported particularly, in this con-
nection, the departure toward the
east of a division Of 5000 men who
have been seen marching from
Bruges toward Ghent. Furthermore,
five troop trains left Brussels re-

Now or never is the time for the
Germans to bring up reserves to make
a decisive effort to win through. in
the opinion of military experts.

German crown prince east OF the Ar
gonne region has resumed its attempt
to force a massage across the Forest to

French, however, retain command OF

LIMA, Peru, November Tt is re-
ported here that a Japanese squad
ron, cruising along the coast Of Peru,
has captured the German cruisers
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.
Vague rumors of the capture of the
cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
have been persistent since October 81.
when a dispatch to London from Syd-
ney, N. S. W.. said they had been taken
as a result of the failure Of their coal
supply. -
Capture Rumored in Toxic.
Friday a Toxic rumor, coming by
way of London. fixed the date of the
alleged capture as Saturday, October
81, but failed to designate the place,
saying merely that the cruisers were
coaling when surprised.
This obviously was wrong, as the en-
gagement in which the British squad
ron was defeated and in which the
Gneisenau and Scharnhorst took part
was fought the following day The
last tidings of the cruisers was tina,
after coaling at Valparaiso they put te
sea last Wednesday.
The present report in circulation IN
Lima may be a result Of numerous in
uuiries sent to South Pacific ports ask
ing information as to the reported cap
ture of the vessels.
