THE HAGUE, Nov. 4.-The present attitude of Germany towards England, France and Russia is described in an editorial of the Berliner Tageblatt of September IA, which after admitting that the German advance in the West has been checked, while considerable victories for the German arms have been obtained in the Eastern theatre of war, says:
 Europe is to be compared to the back of a cornered boar from whose sides the blood is streaming. We hard ly speak of those of us who in the German colonies and in Kiao-chaw are calling for help. We think of them, but do not speak of them.
 "The English and French newspap- CTS have recently said that the reso- lution of the powers of the triple en- tente not to make peace without con sulting one another, had made pain full impression in Germany. We hope that this understanding between Mes SITS. Grey, Poincare and Iswolsky sur prised nobody here. Those who think calmly knew this before the first can non was fired. But this formal assur- ance was merely made to show us the futility of this war and our successes in France.
 "The indications in the French Press are that the declaration was all so intended to quiet the French people. This Anglo French-Russian declara- tion' writes the Petit Parisian finds a justified echo throughout the allied countries. It will bring the pessimists to silence, who already are shaking their heads and whose fears are an insult to Russian stamina, French en- durance and English loyalty The Petit Journal calls the declaration an answer to the tendency to doubt and to the cowardly and perfdious whisp- CTS which during the last few days have made the rounds in the popula- ton in favor of despicable enemy.

There are in France, people, however, who have not been the guests of the Czar who unlike the Paris papers do not gain by supporting the alliance, whose personal fate does not depend upon that of Russia, and whose brain is clear enough to reason logically to final results. The promise that France is to sacrifice herself to the very last dregs for Russia cannot be reassuring to such Frenchmen.
 "The Times, in a very beautiful leader, has presented to thent the British resolution not to end this war. 'Whatevers happens in the vest says this article, Russia and we vii con tinue the war-if necessary for twen- ty years It is then pointed out, as did Mir. Asquith, that German indus try and commerce are in a bad way, a condition which would continue un- til Germany had surrendered the ter ritories occupied and had paid the in- demnities imposed.
 "What were the feelings of the French when they read the word of a boaster who talks loudly because he imagines England secure against the suffering of this war? Twenty years is long time when the army of the enemy occupies the center of vhe country! No, even the pledges of the Times are not sufficent to ban the pes simism which made itself felt in Fran ce. In all the comment made on the situation there is but one instance that could impress the French. The Petit Parisian asserts that Germany intends to tell the Russian and Eng fish: We will crush France and will
