"BEAT THE FRENCH FIRST"
SAYS BERLIN NEWSPAPER
Nation Declared to Be Dominating
Power of Entente

LONDON. June 21.-The Berliner Tage-
blatt in a recent issue sets forth new
theory in regard to the Entente's refusal
to discuss peace on the basis of the Ger
man terms The Tageblatt says
SO far as we are concerned our con-
science is clear. We have repeatedly made
offers Of peace to our enemies. They have
been obstnately refused by France in par
tieular, the others merely following suit.
THE fact Is that France is the dominat-
ing power Of the Entente. the head and soul
of the resistance. We must, therefore, beat
France first of all and finally,
That done, our hands will be free TO
deal with England for there can be no
end to the struggle until the soil of England
herself. also is saturated in the lifeblood
OF its people"
