Allied Forces Must Sweep Enemy
From Their Soil and Crush the
MilitariSm Of Prussia.
RUSSIAN MINISTER SPEAKS
Allies We're Never More Firmly United
Than at Present and Never Were
More Confident OF Ultimate Victoryi
Peace Suggestions Now Regarded
As Unfriendly.
(By William philip slmms.) }


PETROGRAD, June 2S-(Copy-
righted. Peace must come only
when allied soil has been swept clean
Ct the enemy and Prussian militarism
forever crushed, A. d. sazonoff, Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs told
the United Press in an exclusive in
teryiew today
Sazonoff has just returned from the
Russian front He said; Germany
set upon us without warning. Now
having sgnally failed TO beat Europe
into submission and finding its in
tended victims getting the upper hand
II covers its face with a mask Of pi-
ETY. and endeavors 10 throw upon the
allies the blame for making the war.
Such procedure is an open avowal of
her weakness and an attempt to hide
her own unenviable situation-a iact
which | believe the world will soon
realize If II does not already. Peace
talk now is doubly rutle, Germany
assuredly has not won the war. Hence
Germany is not in a position to say
anything | cannot say Yet that We
are the victors, so the peace sugges-
ton is unfriendly to us. Germany S
power is clearly waning. The strength
OF the allies is increasing The war
can end but one way and that is when
allied territory is swept clean Of the
enemy and our every demand admit
ted.
ITO accept peace earlier would be
shirking our duty. Civilization has
reached the crossroads, one way
means the mailed fis, and the will Of
the strongest. The other means the
right to enjoy individual culture.
Prussia set out to impose upon our
destiny It was willed that the allies
should defend each other. We are
faithful to our trust We are mutual
ly pledged to do that. We were never
SO united or never SO strong as now.
I'VE wish peace as ardently as any
one, hut It must be of the right sort.
Peace must be permanent, which
means that Prussian militarism must
go. 1t is this militarism that We are
combating, rather than Germany"
Asked about commercial relations
with the United States. he said:
Il see no real obstacle to the clos
est commercial relations between Rus
sla and America The idea has my
hearty support. | quite share your
able ambassadors expressed views. To
like each other better we need only
get better acquainted"
He said he greatly appreciated Am
erica's generous steps TO feed the un-
fortunate people of Poland
1.-THE population there has been
badly treated by the enemy. They
continue to remove all available pro.
visions thus increasing hunger and
suffering Russia already has shown
appreciation Of the endeavors to re-
lieve Poland by permitting food tc
enter the country, despite the fact that
Germany might take advantage of the
situation and divert part of the sup
plies for its own use. I regret deeply
that Germany refused to agree not tC
remove the foodstuffs already there
He declared that the spirit of tht
army was excellent and that the Off
GERS and men are thoroughly conf
dent Of success.

Yale will be unable to place the
University of Pennsylvania on its foot
ball schedule for next fall, according
to information received Thursday. It
has been decided to shorten the play
ing schedule, and at the same time
take on easier opponents than the Qua
kers, who are regarded as likely to
prove one of the most formidable
teams in the country next fall.
Yale hopes to give Penn a game be-
fore long, but a contest cannot be ar
ranged for next season Bob Folwell,
the Quaker coach, left New Haven on
Yale officials, who assured him that
his team would have a chance to play
the Blue within the next few years
1t was announced that Lehigh and
Washington and Jefferson would not
be found on the Eli bookings for next
fall. The management is planning two
innovations. One is to give a Massa :
chusetts college team date and it is
likely tina ia challenge will be sent
either to Amherst or Williams soon.
Yale has met Amherst oftener than
Williams, and indications are that this
college may get the open date, about
October Is.
Indications are that University of
North Carolina will be invited to come
to New Haven for the other date Yale
has never met this team, which is
coached by DIR. Arthur Brides, the Yale
line instructor.
Aside from the addition of North
Carolina and either Amherst or Will

subtraction of Lehigh and Washington
and Jefferson no changes are contem-
plated.
