Is PIanned-"War To Death MAY Be Decided By Fresh

Bartlett. special correspondent OF the
London Daily Telegraph and the New

paper the following explanation of the
aims of the allies in the present war
with Germany and Austria:
w have not entered int this war
merely to hold back the German inva-
sioin of Belgium and France.
We entered into it to obtain the last
Ing peace which will remove forever
from our shores and from the frontiers
of our allies the constant dread Of g
sudden invasion, ard which will enable
immense sums of money we are yearly
obliged to spend on military arma-
ments, expenditures which must in the
future, according to the settled opinion
of practically all leading economists of
the age, reduce all nations in Europe to
a state bordering on bankruptcy.
Il obtain this result the military
autocracy in Germany must be crushed
once and for all. We have no wish to
1njure the German people. We have no
wish to upset the equitable balance of
power In Europe. We have no grudge
against the Germans; we are merely
asking them to set their own house in
order n to live and let live.
But the dawn of constitutional gov
eminent within the German empire can
only be secured by destroying the
double h~ydra-headed monster, which is
not content with crushing the liberties
of the Germans themselves but would
also hold all Europe in subsection.
Life or Death for the German Emp;re.
There can be no compromise to bring
about such a peace. Supposing a great
battle is fought all along the line of
the French and German frontier, in
which the allies are uniformly success
full; that is TO say, the Germany army
Is Worsted to such an extent that it
cannot again take the offensive.
This would relieve the minds of 40
0o0,00 of French people from the con
slant dread which has been hanging
over them for the last 40 years, but it
