GERMAN BALANCE SHEET.

Ihree years ago Germany began this
war for the Conquest of Middle Eu-
rope. What has she gained? What
has this gain cost her?
She gained by her arms the terri
tories OF Belgium, Luxembourg, Serbia,
small but rich section of northern
France, and parts Of Lithuania. Poland
and Rumania--a total of IL little less
than 20f.o00 square miles.
She has lost:
Except for an insignificant corner in
southern Africa all her colonies, more
than Il million square miles.
Practically all her shipping not bot :
tied up in Bremen and Hamburg, a
loss estimated in tonnage as 5000. 900.
OF the flower of her youth over g.
100000.
In cash. nearly $40. 900, OOo to be
added to her national debt.
Before the war. though unpopular rs

all nations for her intellectual scholar
| ship and her industrial efficiency. She
| has lost irretrievably this respect and
won in it's place the mingled hatred
and contempt of the civilized world
Scarcely a considerable neutral nation
Is left except those whose safety com.
pels their neutrality.
No one thinks Germany can retain
her gains. No one imagines that sh,
can recover her losses. II Is no

surances that Mexico would remain
neutral in the world war were given
by President Carranza tonight in his
message at the opening of the regular
session of the Mexican congress.
The president reviewed the efforts
the Mexican government had made
toward peace. mentioning the note in
which ne proposed that all ncutrals
cease shipping supplies to the bellig-
erents. He said that while it's efforts
for peace had not been successful,
Mexico would still strive toward that
end, and concluded:
Mexico to comply the better with
this mission which its destiny offers
completely apart from the interests for
which the European nations arc strug-
Cling. respecting all nations and being
respected by them surely will observe
the most strict neutrality, which Is
now. which has been and which will
be Its inflexible rule of conduct"

President Dutch Anti-War
Council Analyses Re-

FINDS BRIGHT SPOTS
Sees Chance for Contradic-
ton Even From Bel
ligerent Germans.

The Hague, Sept. l.-President
Dresselhuys Of the Dutch anti-war
council and secretary general Of the
Dutch department Of justice, commu-
nicates to the Associated Press the fol-
lowing opinion Of the anti-war council,
which assembled today to consider
peace proposal.
1.-THE first glance produces feeling
Of disappointment over the sharp par
TALLY regarding the responsibility for
the war. The note will, therefore.
surely elicit q contradiction. even from
those Germans who are in no wise
admirers of the present governmental
system.
Finds Bright Spots.
"A close examination reveals bright
spots, first. the absence of emulation
over Americas military power and no
mention Of peace by military VIC
tory; second the reply shows SYM
pathy for the pope's peace basis;
third. no post-bellum economic war:
fourth. contrary to first appearance.
President Wilson does not insist on
the slogan No peace with the Hohen-
ZOllernS.'
Fountain Of Hope.
The president obviously wishes that
the will Of the German nation shall
henceforth control the policy of the
German government, from which con-
dition the possibility of peace negotia-
tions may be born. Perhaps the in
PRODUCTION of the parliamentary sys-
tenn in GERMANY in no distant future
will fulfil this demand.
Perhaps. however the mutation Of
power in Germany will show itself UNI
mistakably in another way II the
reichstag majority forces the govern
ment to accept unreservedly the papal
peace bases, 1t would mean the COM
plete defeat of the Pan-German mill
tary party. 1t is to be hoped that the
president will deem this sufficient
new evidence of the mentality of the
German nation"

pect that the exreditionary forces
landed In France can be rushed imme-
diately to the front line trenches. To
put an inadequate. insufficiently sup
piled force into actual combat. he said,

strides day by day. but we are just
started.
I'VE came into the war without an
army. We have always been peace
loving people and undoubtedly the
great ma joritv Of US hoped we should
be spared war. So now we must build
an entire new organization and build It
so big and so strong that we can take
our place along with our allies. who
already have had three years time
and experience. Our problems are
greater than any France or Great
Britain had to solve. but we are solv
