district was small and the practical
results We're almost negligible.
The chief damage visible was brok-
en- glass. In one spot where a heavy
bomb landed squarely in the middle
of the street. a hole four feet deep
was torn. The spot was fenced off
and men were at work repairing the
pavement. The conclusion of this
bomb broke glass over several acres,
including windows in neighboring no.

Canadians and Australians.
Only three persons were killed by
this explosion All of them were
standing in a door way watching the
explosion of shrapnel over head In
this district about half a dozen per-
sons were wounded, mostly by break
ing glass. Wagon loads of glass were
swept up and carried away early in
the morning.
Two or three other bombs which
fell in London caused even less dam
age.

WANT MORE WAR!
Liberals in Germany Condemn
Reichstag Peace Move.
Can't DeDend on Treaties, but
on Strength of Army.

Berlin, Sept. 25.-The central gov
erning committee of National Liberal
party in general session yesterday
adopted resolution outlining the at
titude of the party in regard to cur
rent foreign and domestic issues in the
new platform which was adopted
unanimously. The reichstags peace
resolution of June 9 is roundly scored
as inimical to Germany's future de-
Velopment. The resolution continues:
"Germany's future security cannot
rest on international treaties alone 1t
must be founded on German might
and strength. Without ample war in
IDENTITIES Germany would not be pro-
tected against future menace and our
political and economic development
would be retarded for decades.
The military situation gives us the
surety that Germany's borders are
receiving ample protection and that
our economic future as a result is
fully safeguarded."
Opposes Vote Reform.
The resolution opposes the introduce
ton of parliamentary system but
calls for confidential and intimate CO.
operation between the government and
the reichstag. 1t also opposes the
problem, either now or at the time of
the peace negotiations. The familiar
criticism of President Wilson is con-
tanned in the resolution.
In addressing the committee DR..
Gustav Stresemann outlined the par
tvs national platform which swings
this faction far to the right among the
reichstag parties on the strength of
the principles enunciated by Doctor
Stresemann and subsequently incor
porated in the resolution. Doctor
Stresemann stated that in the present
excellent military and political situa-
ton Germany was prepared to begin
peace negotiations. The submarine
he asserted. was the deciding weapon.
England Fears U-boat.
England was now compelled, he
said, to carry on the war with stop
watch in hand Her rank as mari
time nation had been shattered and if
she decided to go on, the U-boat
would force her to make peace. The
speaker deplored the fact that Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz, former marine min
lister. had not been permitted to car
ry out his plan.
The opinion was expressed by DIR.
Stresemann that the reichstag peace
resolution had materially harmed
Germany's prestige abroad. He also
rebuked the talk now heard in re-
gard to Belgium, arguing that even if
Germany really had reached a decis-
/. ion such conclusions should not be
permitted to become public at this
time
