Effective readjustments will, and what
ever readjustments are necessary must
be made.
But they must follow a principle,
and that principle is plain. No people
must be forced under sovereignty under
which it does not wish to live. No terri.
tory must change hands except for the
purpose of securing those who inhabi;
1t fair chance of life and liberty. No
indemnities must be insisted on EXCEPT
those that constitute payment for man
ifest wrongs done. No establishments
Of power must be made except such as
will tend to secure the future peace OF
the world and the future welfare and
happiness of its-peoples
Real Brotherhood Demanded.
"And then. the free peoples of the
world midst draw together in some
common covenant, some genuine and
practical cooperation that will in effect
combine their force to secure peace and
justice in the dealings of nations with
one another. The brotherhood Of man
kind must no longer be a fair, but
empty phrase; it must be given a struc
ture of force and reality. The nations
must realize their common life, ant
effect workable partnership TO secure
that life against the aggressions OF au
tocratic and self.pleasing power.
For these things, we can afford t.
pour out blood and treasure. For thes'
are the things we have always profess

blood and treasure now and succeed
we may never be able to unite or shov

GERMANS SEEM GLAD
THEY'RE PRISONERS
In Appreciation of Escape MaelstrOIu
of Fire They Aid Wounded.


British Headquarters in France, Juno
9-(Via London)-All the British d.
visions involved in the terrible fighting
yesterday testified to the readiness
with which the German prisoners as
sisted in work Of bringing British
wounded from the battle field. They
volunteered for this work and per-
formed it with great tenderness. II
reflected their gratitude for escaping
from the maelstrom OF battle and the
staggering bombardment under which
they had lived seven days and nights.
Watching this great battle Of the
world war one could not but marvel
that any human being could come back
unwounded from the enemy's side. AS
a matter Of fact, most Of the prisoners
taken had huddled in dugouts which
fortunately for them withhstood the
tempest OF shells poured upon them.
Single Army Did the Work.
The Messines attack was carried ont
by a single British army. This army.
commanded by Gen. Sir Herbert Plum
er. congratulated stself today on thc
fact that its success had been won with
just about one.fifth the casualties
which it was felt might have been pail
for capturing such strong strategic po-
sitions.
The stiffest fighting since the attacks
began at dawn on Thursday have re-
Cured southeast OF Messines village.
with Germans advancing from Warep-
ton. Australians have been in the thick
OF this fight, which at times has swayed
to and fro about advanced posts.
Early today the Germans conducted
heavy bombardment on Boesinghe and
the nelghborhood OF that village on
the northern turn Of the Ypres SALIENT.
Under this fire they made four raids
into the British front lines.
Canadians Make Record.
The Canadians made raid last night
south Of Lens which sets a new record
for this style OF harassing warfare.
Forty men took about $50 prisoners.
The booty from the Messines battle
has not yet been catalogued. but II is
known that more than thirty guns werr
captured. while many more were buried
In battery positions which were all but
obliterated In the hurricane fire.
