Marshal Lord Roberts made the declara-
tion today that Great Britain in the pres
ent war would require hundreds OF thou
sands OF soldiers.

review OF a new regiment OF 80 Lon
don business men. In an address Lord

you are the pick OF the nations highly
educated business men. You follow varl-
Gus professions and you are doing exactly
what all able-bodied men in the kingdom
should do, no matter what their rank or
station In life My feeling toward YOU
Is one OF intense admiration. How very
different is your action TO that Of the
men who can still go on playing cricket
and foot ball as II the very existence OF
the country were not at stake.
We are engaged in a life and death
struggle and you are showing your de-
termination TO do your duty as soldiers
and by all the means In your power TO
bring this war-a war forced on US by an
ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS nation-to a

Using Asiatics and
Blacks, Allies Can't
Teach Enemy Ethics

NEW YORK, Aug 3-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador to
the United states who returned hero
from Washington last night, issued the
following statement today in reference to
the alleged atrocities of the German
army.
The campaign OF our enemies charg-
ing the German army with cruelty is
absolutely shameful. The traditions OF
the German army are above all attacks
in this respect Nobody can regret more
than / do II women and children have
been killed during the fighting, This il,
however, unavoidable II the civilian
population OF country Joins In the
fighting as is the case in Belgium, where
German soldiers have been shot in the
back. where German wounded have been
mutlated and doctors and nurses
shot at.
1T is absolutely uniustifiable to sup
against anything else but Notifications.
Women and children should not remain
in besieged fortresses. Not the slightest
harm was done to anybody in the open
city Of Brussels. whilst on the first day
OF the war French aeroplanes bombarded
the open city of Nuremburg.
1T Is inconceivable that any OF the
powers, who have Joined the coalition
formed solely for the purpose of attack
ing us should desire to give US lessons
on methods OF European warfare. after
having called oriental races into the
struggle and after having sent colored
African and Indian trOOps TO France 10
