says that Max,miIian Harden in the latest
number of the 'Zukunft" discusses the mean

plainly of Great Briiain's gigantic prepare
tons in men and ammunltlons. Harden
declares that Germans must reckon with
the determination of England to keep on
fighting until she Oh her enemy is annlhi.a-
ted. In The article entitled significantly
''At the Tree of Disillusion" Harden warns
the Germans to abandon forthwith their
childish dreams of an early peace. After
describing the struggles on all fronts the
like of which mankind has never known and
telling how death is every minute moving
down a German and how every hour of the
day ard night 100000 of German treasure
is being swallowed up, Harden says: is it
the enemy who wants peace" On a recent
occasion in the French Senate when such
sentiments might we'll have found express
sion not one single voice was raised to that
end. Premier BRAND never sat so firmly
in the saddle. Joffres star was never more
in the ascendant. The French are medita-
ting over the possibility of the fall OF Yer
dun but no one dreams of peace. France
