Oxford Debaters Say
Don't Crush Germany

Oxford, Eng, Dec 22.-The Oxford
Union, the debating society of the
university, has decided by a vote of SO
to "a that the safety of Euro pc does
not require the suppression of Ger,
many from her place as first class
power.
The question, as it was proposed
for debate. was: Resolved, that Eyu-
rope will not enjoy u secure peace at
the end of this war if Germany re-
mains q first class power
The negative argument included the
assertion by a Magdalen college stu
dent that it was impossible to crush
q ermany. One debater declared that
neither Germany nor Great Britain
could hope to be in the position of a
first class power. after the war An
other speaker in defense of Germany
urged that England should limit it's
action to the object for which it went
to war. ITO crush Germany he re-
marked, 1--WE would have to reach
Berlin: this would take six years. and
in that time we should have crushed
ourselves too. A sort of international
partnership would be wiser wav.
Driving thu Germans out of the terri
tory they have conquered will surely
be enough. All her colonies should
be given back to Germany, because if
deprived Of them she would be a worse
danger to the peace of Europe than
a Germany without room for colonial
expansion"

FRENCH MUST HAVE SHELLS
TO UNDERTAKE OFFENSIVE
Generals Assert Lines Can Be Held,
but Munitions Needed

PARIS, Aug. "a.
Henry Berenger, member of the Senate
Army Commission, in a statement giving
the results of a visit to four of the great
fortresses on the eastern frontier, gives
the following as the unanimous testimony
of the French generals:
Our front will not give way because
we have enough good soldiers, enough
cannon and, henceforth, we will have
enough munitions
Our most serious check would not
amount to a retrogression of more than a
few miles But our front will not coincide
again with our frontier unless Industrial
France gives to fighting France the sur
plus of projectiles, big cannon and enor-
nous bombs necessary to the continuous
operation OF artillery, and without which
the most magnificent courage can end
only in spectacular heroism
Our army, with its actual armament.
will not give ground, but in order that
1t shall break through the obstacle before
1t, the artillery must be given supplies
commenturate with the gigantic character
of the war"
