to Lord Ribblesdale. who has suffered
much for the country.
II feel, however. very strongly on ths

"Under the voluntary system of re-

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Maximilian Harden.
writing In Die ZukunJt. voices another
sharp criticism OF his own countrymen.
He condemns Winston Churchills COM
mons and he ridicules the campaign
against foreign words. lie condemns
the shooting OF Miss Cavcll on tactical
grounds and he ridicules the contention
that the Allies arc violating Greek neu-
trality. inasmuch as the Greek Govern
ment invited the Allies to take his ac-
ton. lie warns the Germans TO expect
air raidsA
In particular he warns against illu-
eions OF peace. and tells his readers
hat all hopes for separate peace are
absurd. He submits the reasons why
the people abroad think that Germany
is yearning for peace and blames the
German Government for making o
much noise abou the food regulations
while incessant u appear In
Germany. All Is III everywhere else.
and the general belief is produced that
nothing that the German press says is
true.
The soil OF Germany is free" says
Harden. -Her armies are everywhere
In the ncnies territory. but none of
her enemies has been disarmed. none
seems near collapse. and the mightiest OF
them. England. cannot honestly be said
to be even seriously wounded. All OF
them believe. just as piously and sim
rerely as the Germans. hat IL will be
their victory. and they are absolutely
determined to secure victory by all pos
tible means.
"Exhaustlon will be the end of the war.
1t IL beyond the range OF human vision
TO plant this knowledge in every brain,
and Germany's people will laugh at any
Tool who whispers that they already have
made sacrifices enough and would gladly
submit to far shorter r%ations. for the
German people desire only a worthy
peace and will never diminish their aims.
War must not be shortened a day by the
fear of privations. War must not last a
day longer than required by a regard
for the heritage of our fathers and the
future OF our children"
