(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The presidents
of the psrIiaments of the central pow
ers have issued a manifesto declaring
the nations they represent are re-
solved on any sacrifice necessary for
victory, according TO a Berlin dis
issued for publication by DR.. johann
mes kaempf, speaker Of the Reichstag,
at an official reception given to the
parliamentary presidents who are In
conference In Berlin. The dispatch
quotes the manifesto as saying all
sacrifices demanded from the allied
(Teutonic) peoples in the future will
be readily made sin just defense
against an enemy who has unblush-
ingly unveiled his predatory and de-
structive designs"
GERMANY STILL HAS
PLENTY OF MAN-PoWER
Berlin, Jan. discriminating the to-
tai German losses in the war at about
100000, the National zeitung of
Berlin says that there are available
sufficient forces to carry on the war
for several years more. The newspa-
per gives available figures of casual
ties and continues:
II the total losses are calculated at
about 1000, 900, the German reserves
would still number 1000, 900 out of
100000 with which the war was be-
gun. On the other hand, large num-
bers of young men have reached the
age of military service during the
var According to a conservative
valuation Germany has had in this
way an addition Of 1900 900 to her
forces"
MANCHESTER GUARDIAN
TAKES SPEECH SERIOUSLY
London, Jan. 24.-The Manchester
Guardian, in a further long editor
ial on President Wilson's speech, de
clares that it considers it a state
document of the first Importance,
drawn with the utmost care and de-
handing a careful and deliberate con-
s~ideration. In regard to the phrase,
Peace without victory" the Guardian
asks:
HAS the president reason to know
that Germany feels herself to be at
this moment so far beaten as to be
prepared to concede all the other
terms which, with no less emphasis.
he declares to be essential if the
United States is to join in guarantee
ing the resulting peace?"
The Guardian surmises that the
peace which the president had in mind
clearly implies the surrender by the
central powers of their territorial
conquests and the liberation of sub
1ect populations. It considers, how
ever, that some changes of the war
Lap OF other compelling influences
appear Indispensable before the Teu-
tonic allies will be willing to agree to
the arrangement the Guardian sees
designed for them by the president.
Regarding the freedom of the seas,
the Guardian considers that as a COM
mercial blockade is a question of def
milton, limitations and adoption to
changed conditions and new instru.
ments Of modern naval warfare, there
are no reasons why Great Britain
should not meet and discuss the whole
matter with President Wilson or any
other representative of a neutral
state. 1t believes that the value of a
blockade is likely to diminish in pro-
portion as the size and efficiency OF
submarine merchantmen increase and
the menace of long distance sub
marine warships develops. While it
does not think these factors are reas-
ons for su~rrendering any valuable
rights, it regards them as reasons for
a willingness to discuss and settle
the general question of maritime war,
especially including the right to at
tack and destroy merchant ships as
claimed and exercised by the central
powers in the present war.
