 Deputy Landsberg began with :l tribute to the other parties for the fairness in allowing him to speak which drew all attention from the preceding incident and left Dr Liebknecht alone as virtually the only discordant cIc- ment in the house.
 The speaker. discIaImed that kind of rltriotism winch regards the Germans as the poSsessors of all good and the other nations of all inferior attributes. He declared his parties esteem and re epect even for the hostile nations. He asserted that no time was more ap- propriate to consider the restoration of peace than the present when the Bal kan campaign lad buried certain hopes of he other side, when the danger threatening European culture was growing and the states of Europe were giving away before the United States of America.

government Co violate it's duties as neutral
 At first the promise of benevolent neutrality was eXtradicted When the principle Wal admitted. they proceeded to interpret it. From Greece was de- maud"d the withdrawal Of all Greek troops from Saloniki and its surround ings free disposal of the port for estab- fishing military defensive measures. the tranSference of the Greek railways and roads 70 the frontier for military transports. and Freedom for military measures of all kinds in Greek terri toriaI waters. That iS what the en- tente understands by benevolent neu- trality.
 The Greek government. despite the difficult situation, is resolved to con- tinue to preserve the neutrality which corresponds to it's desire and which takes into consideration the dignity, in- dependence and interests of Greece. The matter is not vet concluded.
 With cunning stage management. England impressed on the world the i0ea that in no3le unselfishness it took uT arms for the sake of a violated Bel gium and was called upon to inflict punishment on Germany for tEis act of violence. England succeeded in mak- ing capital out of that, but in time she had to give up Belgium as the motive for war.
 Tt became publicly known too. that Great Britain's encircling policy which had been carried out without the pre- vious knowledge of parliament. and the assumption of obligations toward France which was cahined to Russia had so bound the hands of the British cabinet that when the Russian mobilization unclaimed the war Sir Edward Gre- resolved to join in it. whether willingly or reluctant iN l offer no opinion The Times newspaper was the first to admit that Belgium was not Ensland's motive Tor War All the more persistently did England cuntinU, to denounce us to the neutral world as a treaty breaking nation. lusting for power and compelling the world to submit to it's milit1rism which must be de stroyed.

 With heroic bravery the Turks have held watch over the Balkans. the fall Of which Mr. Asquith prophesied iH the summer Today the Dardanelles stands firmer than ever. Also at Bag dad the Turks nave given perceptiblc blow to the English.
 The opening or the way in the Near East is a lanGmark in the history of this war. Direct military connection with Turkey is of inestimable value. Economically the imports from the Balkans complete our supplies in the most welcome manner. Prospects moreover for the future are full If promise.
 Thanks ,o the foresishted policy of King Ferdinand, a firm bridge has been constructed from the indossultab- ly allied kaiser power. the Balkans. and the Near East. After the conclusion of peace. this bridge will not resound with the tread of marching battalions but will serve Tor works of reace and culture"
 Vigorous applause followed this re- mark, and Dr. Liebknecht interjected- ''tnd "f the Deautschc bank. which occasioned great commotion.

That our adversaries have lost politically and mlitarily in the Balkans they are now attempting to compensate themselves for by a policy ind by actions of violence against neu- tral powers. thereby remaining true tn the principles which they have followed from the beginning.
 Now it k GrecCe's turn. The en- tcnte asserted at first that when the cntcnte's troops were landed at Saloni- Ri. Greece had asked for their assist ance.

To Sell Land.

The idea of a club selling land
direct is a new one, but members of
the FROM Equitable Farmers club,
who have begun the movement are in
hopes of interesting other clubs to
adopt the idea and thus work Coop
eratively for the bringing of settlers
into this section. The club believes
that the land merchants will be bene-
flied as much as themselves. When
ever land man has a prospect they
invite him to bring that prospect to
any of their members, who will gladly
go on an inspection trip with the
"home seeking" party.
Officers Elected Annually.
The club officers comprise presi-
dent, vice-president, secretary, trea-
surer and are elected annually. The
following is a list of the clubs and
their officers for the past year.
