Cabinet Member.
ALLIES MUST CRUSH GERMANY
NATIONS FOES ARE MISTAKEN

LONDON. Aug. 1.-Sir Edward
Carson, attorney general in the AS
ouith cabinet, has prepared for The
Associated Press signed statement
giving a broad outline of the first
year OF the war from the British
standpoint together with expression
Of the unalterable purpose OF the
British government and people to
carry on the war to a successful con-
clusion.
The statement follows:
How long will the war last and what
will be the result? To such questions as
this any British subject can give but one
answer and that is the war will last until
the cause of the allies has been brought
10 a successful issue and Europe and the
world have been relieved from the ideals
Involved in the aggression Of Prussian
domination.
Peace Not I'm Vocabulary.
The word peace does not enter into
our vocabulary at present. 1t Is banished
from our conversation as something i'm
moral and impossible under existing cir
cumstances. And yet we are the most
peace-loYing people in the world, nation
which, throughout the globe, within its
many dominions, has inculcated good gov
ernment and social and industrial prog
ress and the free exercise, in its widest
sense, of civil and religious liberty.
Rightly or wrongly we have in the
past devoted our energies and our intelli-
gence not to preparations for war, but
to that social progress which makes for
the happiness and the contentment OF
the mass of our people. And in this, no
doubt is the reason why other nations
imagine that we, as a nation OF shop
keepers, are too indolent and apathetic
to fight for and maintain these priceless
liberties won by the men who laid the
foundation of our vast empire.
Foes Are Mistaken.
But they are entirely mistaken In
forming any such estimate of the
temperament or determination of our
people. Great Britain hates war and nc
nation enters more reluctantly upon Its
horrible and devastating operations but
at the same time, no nation, when 1t is
driven to war by the Vaccinations of its
foes who desire to fich from 1t or from
its co-champions of liberty any portion
of their inherited freedom, is more re-
solved to see the matter through, at what
ever cost, TO a successful issue.
"A year of war has transformed Great
Britain. OF our navy, 1 need hardly
speak. It has held up to the fullest ex-
tent the great traditions which fills the
pages of history in the past; 1t has
driven its enemies off the seas; 1t holds
vast oceans free for almost uninterrupted
commerce of neutral powers and it has
preserved these highways for it's owr
supplies of materials and food without
interruption.
Peril of Submarine.
"I do not minimize the peril of the
submarine, which is in process of beins
dealt with through the careful and Jealous
watchfulness of our admiralty; but
while the submarine has enabled the
Germans to commit savage and inhumar
atrocities contrary to the laws of ctvilL
zation and against the settled rules oi
international law. II has done nothing tC
affect the vast commerce of our empire
"The darman submarine attack hai
signally failed to hamper our military
operations. Under the protection of oul
navy hundreds of thousands of men have
been brought 10 the fighting area from
the most distant parts of the empire
Troop ships are crossing daily to France
and not a single ship or soldier has beer
lost in the passage. The manner in whicl
our troops have received their supplies 4
a source of satisfaction to US and ad
miration OF our enemies"
