Paris, May 31.-While the United

lay before them the following four
points which summarize our viewpoint
OF the whole war situation.
/. The Eerdun offensive has lasted
three months and people are astonish-
ed that 1t should be persisted in with
such stuhbormess since 1t has been
demonstrated th.t the stratesical I'M
portance OF this position cannot en-

of the war is concerned, The reason
is that the Hohenzoilern dynasty needs
victory and the Crown Prince must
save his marshals baton not mauter
what the price. -Four, hundred thois-
and men will perish. and even more.
If necessary. in order to satisfy the
vanity and ambition of one man. That
Is what the American democracy must
realize In order to have a clear vision
of these great events

on the submarine question are not
sincere. They are only the means OF
gaining time in which to build a fleet
