TEUTONS WILL
Be DEFEATED
GERMAN iMPERIAlIST SAYS 9TH
ER WARS TO FOLLOW UNTIL
THEY WIN RUSSIA MUST BE
DEFEATED.

London. April The Daily News
quotes from Das Grossere Deutsch-
land an article BY the well known
German imperialist. Dr.. Paul Rohr-
bach. who is concerned to guide
his countrymen into new concep-
ton Of what victory means. Refer
ring to the case OF Frederick the
Great. who remained victor in the
Seven Years war. in spite OF his
having won no territory. Herr Rohr-
bach declares:
We. too. shall have the right to
consider ourselves as having won
The war If at the end OF the struggle
our allied enemies see themselves
constrained 10 desist from their in
tention to break down our armed
force and to Withdraw 10 the posi-
ton as it existed before the war
It will then be possible TO say OF
them: They set themselves to ac-
complish certain task and they
could not carry 1t out
Practically speaking This would
mean that their resources had be-
come exhausted more ;apidly and
more completely than our own, and
that We, though perhaps unable, on
account of our losses. to carry
through the war at one stroke to
successful issue, should enter upon
the new period with a larger stock
of preserved resources, and therefore
with better prospects for the future"
Not only does Herr Rohrbach thus
reveal the thoughts of the German
ruling spheres" with regard to the
war in general, but he saws no per-
manent peace is possible between
Germany and Russia on account OF
Russia's rapidly growing population,
which drives her to ever new con-
quests on the west as well as on
the east.
only those who clearly realize
this fact will understand the object
which we are obliged to set our
selves as regards Russia--if not in
this war, then in the next, and if not
in. the next, in the war after the
next"
Evidently Herr Rohrbach and those
from whom he derives his inspira
tion no longer believe in a victory
over Russia, but are obliged to
defer it until the next campaign"
or the one after next"

tened the French steamship La Tou-
raine, has been brought under control

ment issued at noon yesterday by
the Compagnie generate transatlantic
que, owners of the liner.
La Touraine is proceeding under

tion. and is expected to arrive there

sins wireless call for aid is standing
by as measure OF p:ecaution to give
assistance. should any be required.
Commanders Of other vessels, which
sped to the rescue have been inform
ed that their services will not be re-
quired.

steamship company said:
The fire which broke out aboard
La Touraine was less serious than
was at first thought The fire is un-
der control and all passengers are
safe.

age TO Havre under her own steam

ed to one OF the compartments in the

1t might be necessary to transfe. the
passengers to another ship TO avoid
danger, but this plan evidently was
abandoned when it was seen the
blaze was being mastered
Grave fears for the safety OF La
Touraine were felt in Paris until the
positive announcement was made that
she was in no danger. Several news
papers suggested that the fire might
have been started by spies who had
concealed themselves on board.

yesterday afternoon received the fol
lowing wireless dispatch from Capt
