THE WOMEN.

God of the warning nations,
God OF the ways Of peace,
Hark to the pleas of the women
And bid the warfare cease
Hark to the prayer of the children,
Their small hands lifted up
And from the world forever
Remove this bitter cup!
A wife stands for all forsaken
And peers into the storm,
Above the smoke of battle
She marks the vultures swarm,
No loved one hears her pleading
And to her succor flies
Beside where she stands weeping
A baby starvcs and dies.
. God. lift the burden from them
Who bear the burden most,
God, touch the heart Of rulers
God. turn each warning host
From ways that lead to slaughter
Back to the paths of pcacdl
God. hear the plants of women
And bid this warning cease!

Post.

The British Ambassador
Announces Concessions
to American Commerce
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice Reports to State Depart
ment on Enforc ement of British
Order-in Council

American importer Is really the person
responsible for them and that title rests
with him. Goods valued at many mil
lions of dollars have accumulated At
Rotterdam and await transportation to
the United States. The order applies to
these, but whether it will extend to goods
yet in German factories but under con-
tract for delivery on this side of the
Atlantic is yet undetermined.
Release Of Goods
The success of private interests in
London represented by special attor-
neys in securing the release OF about
100000 worth of goods now on the
docks is explained at the British en-
bassy here as due to the fact that the
local attorneys there were able to Sc
cure and present to the British au-
thorties the proof required as to the
character of the goods and the con-
ditions of contract. Now it is plan
ned to permit American importers to
present proof at the British embassy
here, which it is believed. will great
ly facilitate iuportations. The en-
tire responsibility for the holding up
of dvestuffs of German manufacture
intended for America, is placed by
the British authorities upon the Ger
man government. and 1t is alleged that
a contrary impression has been sought
to be created because Of ill feeling
against Great Britain.

GERMANY MAKES REPLY
Continued from Page y

From the British standpoint such a
transaction impressed him as improper
and he could not enter into negotiations
with a power that could make such prop
ostions. AS in former interviews, he laid
chief stress on the Belgian question with
out adding, as he did in his speech in the
House of Commons, that England could
not look on while Germany endeavored
to reduce not only France but also Bel
GUM and Holland to a state OF depen-
dency."
The foreign secretary's confidential
communication to Prince Lichnowsky is
thus summarized;
The confidential communication was
to the effect that should events not take
the turn anticipated by the German mil
itary party or should Great Britain wish
for other reasons to bring the war to a
speedy end. he always would be prepar-
ed. if he remained in office, to undertake
the task OF mediation and be of assistance
to Germany. He had not the slightest
intention TO crush Germany, and wished
. only to restore peace upon acceptable
conditions and put an end to unspeak-
abe misery for the civilized world.
Prince Lichnowsky remarked that the
role OF arbiter would be easier for Sir
Edward Grey had Great Britain main
tanned neutrality. He answered that the
participation of England would shorten
the duration of the war"
The Overseas News Agency, in conclud
ing its summary of the North German
Gazette's reply. says:
ri
the acceptance Of the proposals for a
conference he would have maintained
peace.
If Germany had quietly looked on
while Russia gathered her millions of
soldiers at the frontier, Germany TODAY
would look as East Prussia did after the
Russian invasion. and Sir Edward GREY
himself had read the report of the Brit
ism ambassador at st. Petersburg that
Russian mobilization must lead to Ger
man mobilization and war. If the for
eign secretary had told St. Petersburg
that Great Britain would not enter a con-
sict. war would have been avoided in
stead Of being precipitated by the prom
Use of support.
! Germany fights not for supremacy. as
Sir Edward said. but for the liberation
OF Europe from the brutal supremacy
that England had maintained over it by
her powerful feet and with her policy of
dividing the European powers into two
hostile parts. hacking at each other in
the interest of Great Britain and per-
hitting that nation to throw her weight
| where it best served her egotistic ambi-
! TONS"
