come from Washington to the effect
that the war department has reached
the conclusion that youths over IS

+ London, July 5.---viscount Bryce

Bryce. Recently an addressed letter
reached me, signed by Americans

Is significant that most OF the signers
were of German origin. We all fee
the horror and suffering of war as
much as any pacifcist in America but
we cannot agree to any peace such al
was suggested.
Firstly, we do not think the wal
will end in a draw, The allies are
going to win, because they will prove
stronger on land and also hold un'
shakabIe control Of the sea.
Secondly, Germany is not yet pre-
pared for any terms we could accept
The German government knows thai
Germany will be beaten. but the Ger
man people don't know II yet. The
government has fed them on false
hoods, and now fears to accept terms
| which would recognize it's own fall
ure.
Thirdly, peace now on Gernany's
terms would not be permanent. but a
mere truce.
Lastly, we are hghting for grea.
principles, vital to the future of man
kind, which Germany has outraged
and which must be indicated. We
do not hate the German people. We
do not desire to destroy their national
unity nor inflict permanent injury
upon them, but we do desire to exer-
