Refers to Germany.

Germany must work out her saliva
tion," continued Mr.. Balfour. You do
not mend matters by imposing consti-
tuition even if you have the power Ma
tons must make their scheme of lib
erty for themselves. according to their
own ideas and based on their history,
character and hopes.
But If 1t is true that the great DOW
er Of German Imperialism is still de-
pending upon the belief-the belief
driven into the German nation by the
wars of 1865 and 1870-that only under
the imperial system can Germany be
great, powerful and rich, then If ex-
perence shows that the imperialistic
system can produce not merely a tri-
umph one time, but inevitably lead to
corresponding disaster at another, it
may well be that those views, which
found such powerful expression in
Germany in 1S4S. and which animal ted
all German teachers for more than a
generation before the Bismarckian
domination, will revive with new lus-
ter the new strength, and that Ger
many, with all her powers OF organiza-
ton and all her inherited cultivation,
will be added to those nations which
before the war could hardly conceive
how a universal war Of this sort could
be deliberately provoked in order to
further the commercial or political in
terests Of any single community.

Fighting for Existence.

Mr.. Balfour expressed an opinion
which was simply his own when he
said that II France asked for Alsace-
Lorraine, Great Britain should support
her, but he declared that France was
not fighting for Alsace-Lorraine alone;
she was fighting for her very existence
The questions the house had discussed
were occupying the attention of the
whole civilized world almost to the ex-
clusion of every other subject
AS to the characterization Of Ger
many, said the secretary, it had been
hoped that autocracy would give place
to parliamentary institutions as they
are understood. but nobody was foolish
enough to suppose that it would be
possible to impose on Germany con-
stitution made outside of Germany.
Until Germany was either made
powerless or free he did not think the
peace of Europe could be secured. The
fight must go on. for II this war ended
with German peace that would only
be prelude to a new European war.
II the peace was to be one that Eng
land and America, which had no inter-
est on the continent, could approve,
then it would lead to a permanent set
tlement, which would. In turn, conduce
to that great understanding of the ma
tions which would give Europe Sc
curity it had never known before.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-07-31
Cites Unselfish Motives.

"As everybody knows" continued Mr..
Balfour, we first entered the war to
defend Belgium and prevent France
from being crushed before our eyes.
Nobody with the smallest knowledge of
the facts supposed that Sir Edward
Grey formerly foreign secretary and
the government Of which he was
member when he made the fateful dec
laration, August 3. 1914. made it with
the smallest thought Of the great prob
lens which the course of the war has
opened up. We did not enter the war
for any selfish purposes. certainly not
for tmperialist aims or to get indemni-
ties. Our purposes were completely I'M
selfish: therefore. we stood in different
position from any of our allies. We
hoped to see Europe freer and more
stable"
If France asked 1t, he failed to see
how Great Britain could refrain from
going on to assist her until she got
back to the position which existed be-
fore the attack engineered against her
by Bismarck in 1S71-namely, that "she
obtain restoration of that of which she
was violently robbed more than forty
years ago."
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-07-31
Wisdom Is Questioned.

Mr.. Balfour said that the government
had been asked to declare its policy,
but he was not sure If that would be
a wise course. The broad questions
antmating tbs government had been ex-
pounded by the late and present pre-
miers. the foreign secretary and others
who held high office during the past
three years. When every ministerial
statement was treated as a pledge. it
was dangerous to accede to requests
for definite announcements.
With respect to the Jugeslav and
Austrian question. said the secretary. 1t
was impossible to foretell the position
in which the world would find itself
when these problems came to be de-
cided. and he would be doing a very i'll
service to the country were he to at
tempt to define the position now. The
government believed that the nationali-
ties composing that heterogeneous state
should be allowed ITO develop along
their own lines and to carry on their
civilization in their own way.

the mysterious woman master spy, who

a few days.
While federal agents and army intelii :

prospect Of her apprehension, press dis
patches from Los Angeles reported that
federal officials there had received in
formation indicating that the woman
police are declared to be aiding the
government agents in throwing a net
around the southern city in an effort
to apprehend the woman.
Meanwhile amy intelligence officers
continued their examination of the
papers Of Franz Schulenberg, German
agent. whose arrest and admissions
have laid bare the direction of tho
