Allies Not Likely to Ask
Less When Time to
Make Peace Comes.
RUSSIA SURE TO
DEMAND POLAND
Not Indemnity Only but Slices
of Land Also for Belgium
Indicated.
NV cable 10 Tho Tribune. !

London, Sept. l5.-Fresh reports
from America Of peace talk coming
from Oscar S. Straus and Ambassador
Bernstorff do nothing more here than
serve to accentuate the fact that the
Allies are not willing to discuss peace
at this time. They might entertain u
formal proposal of peace negotiations,
but only on terms which Germany
could not possibly accept.
1t is obvious, judging from talks
with high officials, that the British
feeling is that Germany must be
crushed; that there must be ended
now for all time the menace Of Ger
many. While England is in high feath :.
or over the recent victories, no oticlal
is so foolish as officially to venture to
discuss terms which might be imposed
upon Germany, knowing full well that
the tide of war may turn against the
Allies, but, with the situation favor
able, it is possible to obtain from Of
Ecialdom, which is filled with the hope
of ultimate complete victory, an APP
Proclamation OF what will be the Allies
terms if the Allies find it impossibl &c
actually to impose all their demands
upon Germany. 49,,
These terms will be harsh. They viii
be such as to subordinate Germany as
world power. Nothing else will sat-
isfy England. England, it is learned
upon the best authority, wants this
war TO bring to an end the race for
armed superiority. England wants to
eliminate the German competition for
mastery of the seas, so that England
may cut down her feet and end the
mad rush for naval supremacy. II the
g hn
tainly will be England's demand that
the German fleet be dismantled, wheth-
or it has come out to fight in the mean
time or not.
II is England's belief as expressed
by numerous officials, that there is no
hope of lasting European peace unless
Germany is whipped thoroughly. Mill
tarism must be eliminated in Europe,
and in this respect Germany, to the
English mind, represents militarlsm.
II is becoming quite obvious that u
Germany il whipped the Allies will
see to it that she is utterly crushed.
Your correspondent learns that Bel
GUM will make demand for territory
in addition to indemnity. This Is not
official, but I learn on the best author
ity that there is growing feeling
among the Belgian pOpulace which
probably will force not unwilling
government to make demands for slices
Of Gcrmany's Rhine provinces. Then
France will want Alsace- Lorraine and
possibly more. Russia will demand
Poland. Italy and Seryia will want
certain provinces of Austria, while
Denmark will ask for Schleswig- Hol-
stein. Discussion of peace terms now
is, of course, academic, but in view of
the Allies successes recently there arc
many who seriously are considering
what demands the Allies, in the event
of victory, would make upon Germany.

RUSSIA OFFERS
FIELD FOR TRADE
M. Sazonoff Points Way
to United States and
Great Britain.
GRy Gable to The Tribune. J

London, Sept l6.-"The Times's"
spondent in Petrograd quotes a
statement made to him by NJ. Sazono.i,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which
the latter says the situation offers an
opportunity for trade and commerce
with Russia which, to England and
America, may mean more in decades
to come than il is easy to realize.
"For years past" says NJ. Sszonoff,
Germany has been steadily and Wig.
orously pushing her trade into all
quarters of the Russian Empire, until
she has been selling US above 100000
900 worth of products yearly. These
enormous markets for machinery,
chemicals and all sorts of manufact-
ured products are now suddenly cut
off from the avenues through which
they have been supplied.
Herein lies the greatest commercial
opportunity for England and America
that has ever been offered. It is that
country which foresees the situation
commercially in Russia that will reap
the enormous benefits that these mar.
K IS now offer.
ut is not merely sufficient that mer.
char IS and manufacturers should offer
their goods here. Experts should be
sent here now, even while the war still
is in progress, to study and examine
the wants Of our country, so that when
peace comes those channels, which
have for decades flowed deeply with
German products, may continue to how
with products from America and Eng.
land.

cities, causes great rejoicing. The
crowd decorates the streets and sings
hymns Of praise for the success of the
armies.
Not a word has been heard Of the
Russians. The Wolf Agency, claiming
to be the only truthful source Of in
formation, publishes the startling
statement, according TO notes sent to
Swiss papers, that since the beginning
of the war the French have lost $50, 600
men, all prisoners, 40 generals, LOO
flags and 10000 guns-mOre than they
could mobilize since the start of the
campaign. As for the English army,
it has been twice annihilated. How
then, pray, does the war continue?
According to the same source the
Allies have modified women and chill
dren. These wretched people when
going to fight have neither clothes,
shoes nor flags. The Russians condi-
ton is even worse.
As TO the ultimatum which Japan
sent to Germany and the pretended
victories of the SeTvians' over the
Austrians, they arc treated with the
disdain they are believed to deserve.
One wonders that such exaggerations
and fantastic tales, which deceive no one
outside, should find credit in Germany.
In the September number, the
"Munchner Neueste Nachrichten" gives
us disgusting details of the treatment
of French prisoners in Munich. They
are penned in a sort of camp surround
ed by barbed wire. The public is al
lowed to come and view the unhappy
soldiers, who, according TO the same
paper, fought heroicslly. The price Of
entrance is 20 pfennigs and the visitors
are numerous, says the "Nachrichten."
In reminds one Of the Middle Ages. In
deed, all are exulting still, according
to the paper, to see high class French
men obliged to be treated as comrades
of street ragamufins and TO eat the
same mess Of not precisely palataole
food.
In their own interest the Germans
should keep their papers so as not to
add 10 the roll of their already too
revolving behavior, which makes the
coming day Of reckoning harder and
hardnF for than ----.-----

BY NINE, JEAN ALNlDL EACAhND'
Especial Correspondent Of Tho Tribune.J
Paris, Sept 15.-The Germans IRE
still retreating along The whole line
precipitately abandoning their wound
ed and guns and ammunition. AS an
illustration of how dreadful will be
Germany's realization Of what is
really happening, the wife Of a Ger
man officer 1T Frankfort writes me eX-
planning why the Germans invaded
Belgium and treated that country so
harshly. According to what is told
over the whole country, Belgium al
lowed French troops TO enter Ger
many through her territory, and with
them attacked the Germans before the
declaration Of war. Also. the French
attacked a parry Of Swiss on the Dor
der, and wo5id have slaughtered all If
q band Of Uhlans had not interfered.
The French and Belgian women pulled
out the eyes of the German wounded
and cut of their noses and ears. The
reason for firing on some of them, the
people are made 70 believe, is that
theirs is a sacred war against French
treaehery, low morals, dissipation and
atheism.

Amsterdam, Sept. l5.-As already
tclegraphcd, a dozen prominent Dutch
artists and men of letters have for
warded tclegraphic protest to the Ger
m Emperor on the subject of the de-
struction of Louvain. The Amsterdam
"Weekblad Voor Ncderland" asccr-
tanned the opinion of other leading
men on the subject.
All condemn the attitude Of the Ger
mans, especially DR.. Feederik Van
Ecden. lie says the excuses in the
German papers arc incorrect, aud that
national fanaticism has so blinded the
German people that it seems to mean
that for the preservation of the SUI
prcmacy of Germany special higher
law exists, TO which law the rest of the
World is subordinate. This was in
deed the opinion of Bismarck, which
was apparent from his practice, aud it
is by maintaining this opinion that the
German people are misled, and, inst
Gated by their government, find nearly
r. whole world against them.

after explaining the Importance Of this
