Being rendered in Red
Cross Work.

Berlin. Oct. 21.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The follow
Ing exchange OF letters has taken
place between the American consul
general and the lord mayor of Dres-
den, according to Dresden newspa-
pers received here:
'Consul General of the United States,
Dresden.
1T has come to our knowledge that
not a few members of the American
colony in Dresden have entered the
service of the Red Cross. At our re-
cent general meeting we passed a. res
olution expressing to these members
of the American colony the special
thanks Of the council of the city of
Dresden for their high-minded atti-
tude.
I'VE request the highly esteemed
consul general to kindly forward our
resolution to the members of the col
ony concerned, and we grasp this op-
portunity to assure you that the city
authorities will also do everything IN
order to render the stay of the Amer
ican colony in Dresden during the war
as comfortab BILE as possible"
The American consul general sent
the following reply:
Dear Mr.. Lord Mayor:
II had the honor to receive your
communication containing the infor-
nation that the council OF Dresden
learned that various members of the
American colony we're engaged In
making things for the Red Cross So
ciety. and that at meeting of the
city council it was resolved to express
to the American colony in Dresden
the city's thanks for its interest in
this charitable work. You had the
kindness to request me to convey to
the members of the colony this reso-
luton of the council of Dresden.
Il shall not fail to inform my COM
patriots of your kind letter and will
also take the liberty of sending copy
of the resolution to the state depart
ment at Washington.
81 take this opportunity to express
10 you, my dear Mr.. Lord Mayor. and
through you to the other members Of
the council of the city of Dresden, my
sincerest appreciation of the extraor-
dinary courtesies which the city au-
thorities and the inhabitants of Dres-
den have shown to the Americans
here. Not only have they been treat
ed with the greatest friendliness but
I have also heard from British and
French subjects who are sojourning
here, of the more than magnanimous
treatment which has been accorded
get. Many hotels and boarding houses
have permitted great number of
them to remain without paying, after
having promised to settle the matter
on their return home.
II remain, my dear Mr.. Lord Mayor

Yours,

not demand that Germany be dis
membered or disarmed when the
allies win. Europes interests will be
best served by the retention of Ger
many as a sound and virile unit in
give up her dream of world -empirre.
She shall no longer be a menace to
peace"
This is an absolutely authoritative
statement of the attitude the British
government will assume in the event
of a victory by the allies. 1t is to
be qualified by the following state
ments:
There is no thought of an early
or premature-peace. England will
fight on. If she has to fight alone, un-
til peace is made on her terms
mo member Of the government has
as yet given serious thought to the
formulation Of these terms. 1t will
be quite time enough to do SO when
Germany is defeated
"Germany's resources are SO great
that the war Office considers 1t prob
able that the war will last anothe'
year. When the invasion Of Germany
begins another phase of the conflict
will open. which will be quite as des-
perate as any Of the preceding
phases"
It must not be assumed that this is
an interview with any single men,
Der of the government. Rather it Is
consensus of governmental opinion.
The members of the government have
discussed the nature of the peace
terms which will be afforded-if the
allies win-with a certain amount of
candor from the beginning of the
German retreat from the gates of
Paris. But these discussions have on
ly served to vaguely outline the Eng
lish policy. They have not yet extend
ed to details.
Germany Must Give Up Colonies.
Two things England will insist
upon." said the gentleman who may
be taken as the spokesman for the
government in so far as this article is
concerned.
"one is that the German colonies
must be given up. We do not want
them-but who else is there to take
them? We only ask that they be TAX
en- from Germany. in order to remove
her as disturbing element in world
affairs
"The German navy and the German
coastal fortifications-such as those

We hope the British navy will attend
to this before the war ends. 1t is
