Paris, Aug. A. - Joseph Reinach,
well-known deputy, launches in the
Figaro yesterday what, in the opinion
of many well-informed persons here,
is likely to become the allied watch
word, Away with the Hohenzollerns!"
The Allies" says Reinach, will
agree there shall be no treaty with
William of Hohenzollern or with any
member of his family Unless 1 am
greatly mistaken, the question of the
Hohenzollerns will become more i'm
portant every day. 1t is too vague to
speak of destroying German militar-
ism. German militarism is the house
castles and all its birds of prey.
Il have shown 20 times that the
war is the personal work of the Ger
man Emperor. Exactly when he be-
gan to premeditate it even he does not
know.
But it is fact that he had taken
his stand November 6, 1918, when he
unbosomed himself to the Belgian
King about the necessity of war soon
and his certainty of success.
1t is fact that finally, as the ac-
complice of Austria's ultimatum to
Serbia, the Kaisers own hand abolish
ed all chance of peace. He refused
the conference proposed by England
and the arbitration of The Hague Of
fered by the Car, and declared war
on Russia at the very moment when
the Vienna Government had welcom-
ed Petrograd's proposals. And this
though every pretext had vanished.
Since the drive through Belgium
failed and his bright dream of victory
vanished; since the German nation
rises hungry and bears the hatred of
the world; while the horizon is low
ering with menace, the German EN-
peror is afraid and says I willed it
not
Then who did will it? His feudal
chiefs, his junkers, the Crown Prince
and his Agrarians willed it, too, but
the Germany of the Hohenzollerns is
no aristocracy, oligarchy or demon
racy. There. is one lord and master,
the Hohenzollern, the Emperor. 1t
is he who willed, who ordered, who
began this war. He is the master
assassin. British Premier Asquith
has said this in solemn declaration
before the House of Commons.
over year ago in the verdict on
the Lusitania the jury at Kinsale pro-
nounced guilty of wholesale murder
the officers of the submarine, the Ger
man Government and the Emperor of
Germany. All those generals, those
officers, those soldiers are only his
Tools and accomplices.
I I'VE will not make our peace a
mere truce between two slaughters.

Battle of Jutland Turning
Point of War, BGIfOur Says

London, Aug. 4.-The first lord of
the admiralty. a. ]. Balfour. has issued
a statement for publication, in the
course of which he says:
The second anniversary of the Brit
ish declaration of war provides a fitting
opportunity for a brief survey of the
present naval situation. The conse-
quences. material and moral, of the
Jutland battle cannot be easily over
looked; an allied diplomatist assured
me that he considered it the turning
point of the war
The tide, which had long ceased to
help our enemies, began from that mo-
ment to flow strongly in our favor.
This much at least is true, that every
week which has passed since the Ger
man fleet was driven damaged into
port has seen new successes for the
Allies in one part or other of the field
of operations. II would be an error,
however. to suppose that the naval
victory changed the situation: what it
did was to confirm it..
Before the Jutland battle, as after,
the German fleet was imprisoned. The
battle was an attempt to break the

TeutOns Are Struggling
Fiercely to SaUe Remnants
of Surrounded Armies

London, Aug. 4. - Terrific fighting
continues along almost the whole of
the four hundred miles of the Eastern
front, where the fate of Lemberg and
kovel is being decided. The Germans
in desperate counter-attacks and
fierce hand-to-hand struggles for their
trenches struggled to save the cities
or at least the remnants of the armies
which have been defending them. The
Russians apparently are now aiming,
not only for the cities, but for the cap
ture of the greater part of the 100000
men under Bothmer and Linsingen,
who have been outflanked and almost
cut OFF from support.
The desperation of the Teutontc
situation is shown by the announce
ment in Berlin and Vienna that Cen
eral Won Hindenburg, the nero Of the
Mazurain Lakes and the most cele-
brated of all the German generals, has
heen put in command of the entire
thousand-mile long battle line. The
section in the north over which he
has had command is the only one not
now reeling back from the Russian
blows, and the two Kaisers hope that
his name and experience will stiffen
the beaten armies.
Hope to Save Austrians
Undoubtedly this is primarily an
effort to restore some kind of order
out of the Austrian chaos. But military
men here point out, he cannot restore
the 100000 Austrians and Germans
killed, wounded or captured in the
last two months, nor the hundreds of
guns which the Teutons have lost. Nor
can he wholly restore the habit of
victory the confidence which is the
best defense of an army and which
has been utterly taken from the
Teutonic forces in their weeks of un-
interrupted defeat.
Meanwhile the Germans continue TO
use every ounce of energy in their
efforts to extricate the troops that held
the Stokhod line and Won Bothmer's
army on the Strypa. Though the Rus
slams forced the crossing the Strypa. at
Gulveitchie four days ago and have
been reported well on their way to
Kovel, desperate fighting is still going
on in the neighborhood of the town,
This is the only real information con-
corning this battlefield contained in
the Russian statements to-day. Berlin
also tells of minor actions along the
Kovel-Sarny railway and near Brody.
But vigorous attack by Germans
far to the north of the Kovel-Lem-
berg field, on the Wilma -Minsk Rail
way, is believed to be the first sign
of a plan by Hindenburg to attennr
to divert forces from the crunnblire
Zine by a threat elsewhere. This ut-
lack was launched along the railway

Amsterdam, Aug. 4.-The appoint

The Hamburger Nachrichten says:
He is the right man in the right

by our people but never directly ex-
pressed is now fulfilled. In the pres
ent crisis on the eastern front the con-
