War and Treaties.

In discrediting arbitration and con-
Citation treaties, the critics seem to-
condemn them because they have
failed to prevent war. But no such
treaties have positively forbidden war;
they have almost invariably been linn
tied in their scope, leaving the sigma
tories entirely free in the last resort
to take up arms. General Won Bern

All treaties of this class, beginning
with The Hague peace conventions,
have been designed merely to render
war more difficult to begin. At least,
they have done no harm. If they

western campaign was made up OF
startling, swift moves. On September
II, after the defeat on the Marine, the
Germans took up defensive positions
along the Aisne river. The ten and

with tremendous losses. The general
situation has remained unchanged,
