ENGLISH PACIFISTS
Introduction Of Resolution Precipi-
tates Debate in British House of
Commons.


London, July PA little group of
pacifsts instituted peace debate IN
the House of Commons yesterday af-
ternoon by introducing resolution
declaring that the German Reich
stag resolution favorinS peace by an
understanding expressed the prln-
cip,es for which Great Britain stood
throughout and calling on the Gov
ernment, in conjunction with the En-
tente Allies, to restate their peace
terms accordingly. Further, the resolu-
ton declares that the Allies should
accept the Russian proposal that the
Forthcoming Allied conference on the
war aims should comprise represen-
tatives of the people and not solely
spokesmen of the Government.
The resolution was moved by
James Ramsay Macdonald, Socialist
and Labor member for Leicester, and
was supporter by Charles P. Trevel-
van Liberal; Hastings Z. Lees.
Smith, Liberal; Philip snowden, So
cialist, and Arthur A. Ponsonry,
Liberal.
Mr.. Macdonald agreed that his reso-
olution expressed the opinion Of onl!
a small minority, but he contended
that this minority was ever growing.
Stockholm had borne its fruit; the
Allied conference would bear more,
and the international conference
would bear still more fruit. Such
conference wculd find out that the
time had come for an active effort
for peace, and it would find peace
that would not be disturbed by pre-
parations for war.
Charles P. Trevelyan, who second
ed the resolution, agreed in condemn
ing the uncertainty in the speech OF
the German Chancellor, DR.. Mich
aelis, and said they were all agreed
that peace awaited the restoration OF
Belgium and France, without any
economic or other conditions. He also
doubted whether there could be peace
until all the governments clearly and
expressly repudiated the idea OF con-
quest or aEncxations. While it might
he the duty CT the Government to
reply to the German Chancellor, II
was the duty Of the House OF Com
mons to reply to the Reichstag re-
solution. Dr. Michaelis speech was
,ade on that resolution, and the fact
that he did not speak against 1t or
try to persuade the Reichstag from
passing it ought not to be over
looked.

r. L. Mote, secretary Of the Com
mercial club, received a reply last
week from the Western Union Tele.
graph company in regard to the up
town telegraph office. The fact that
every business man in DeniSOn signed
the petition requesting the company
to install an uptown office didn't seem
to have much effect ON the officials.
for the reply stated tht on account of
the war so many OF their operators
were leaving that it would be diff
cult matter to keep all of their offices
supplied without opening up addition
al ones. However, the writer stated
that the company would keep Deni-
son in mind and asesoon as possible
we would be given an uptown Office.
We, of6cOurse, admit that the excuse
is good one, but in the past Denison
has always been led to believe that
the service would be improved when
in fact it has not. DensOn is entitled
to better service and we believe the
company will find that it does not pay
to keep making promises without I'M
proving the service.
