satisfied with a draw that left it
to bear the losses it has suffered,
while Germany merely retired
behind its Old boundary and suf-
fered nothing beyond the casual
ties of a war on foreign soil.
The situation Of England diff
fer5 widely from that Of any Of
its allies, 1t is not interested in
any questions Of territory, eX-
cept as regards the African col
.onios that it has wrested from
Germany. Those it might give
up again if the allies were to
consent to a draw and if a draw
were possible. Nevertheless,
the greatest and most earnest
resolve Of Great Britlin has
been to put an end to militarism
in Europe, and in particular to
the Prussia system. In any ar
raugement that has the nature
of a draw that purpose must be
abandoned. That does not 90 to
prove that such an arrangement
cannot be made; but it does
raise the question whether Great
Britain can consent to plan of
peace that leaves the way open
! for d renewal of the terrible con-
! Aict when the enemy has recuD-
era.ed-still worse, one that will
Ireclire Britain to arm itself and

it detests.

old desire Of Russia for Constan-

ocean by way Of the Dardan-

for a future war. Those facts.
