 The latest weapon for stilrirg the blind rage for war is thc hope of our .xEausticn. We ar- fully united in the kiu@iora thai our food supplies Ar-t. adequate, and the only question .s Of dividing them properly. The disrtrict reaching from Arras to Mesopotamia cannot be crushed ec- oumicaHy
 If not a shortage of food then ar rnv- materials is to crush us, but We are provided with everything nee cssarN for a prolonged war.

With the number of mer liable Ton military service still at our disposal we are not thinking of eVrendine this hmit our losses gre not only relatively. but also ob- ~olutely smaller than the French
 Referring to the Bitterness of feel ing displayed by the enemies of Ger many. tho imperial chancellor said:
 ITO what point of hatred this has led k shown m the horrible ease of Baralong, that shameful deed of a British Warship sailing under the American flag whose crew murdered in the most 1trocious fashion the hcIl lle~s sailors of q German sub marine. This frightful deed of mur- der has np to tho present been com pIeteIy gnored by the English press. Was :f due to shame We do not know The EritouS have ever been proud of the spirit in their navy.
