PARALiZE BRITAIN
This Ii Boast OF Conservative Leader
of German Reichstn@.

Copenhagen, June 13. Via London
England is given Tess than two more
months of life by Herr Won Heyde-
brand, conservative leader in the
Reichstag. In a speech to his Gee
tors he quoted German admiral as
saying:
I'VE hope, yes, we are certain, that
in two months at the most the con-
dition of the English will be such that
Great Britain will be finished"
Herr Won Heydebrand had asked
the admiral whether he believed Ger
many could win complete victory
through the submarine campaign. The
admiral's confident reply was used by
the conservative leader to confound
"doubters and lukewarm individuals
found among the German masses, WHO
are questioning in increasing degree.
the political and military efficacy of
ruthless submarine warfare.
Herr Won Heydebrand also gave
warning against hope Of a separate
peace with Russia, and a consequent
easy victory oT~' Germany's other
opponents, :, tbs connection, he
said such a peace would be possible
only if made with government
strong enough to control the sisua-
ton in the interior and face the con-
sequences OF a break between Russia
and her allies. The Russian govern
ment, he said, is not strong enough
for this.
Unwilling praise Of British achieve
ment was given by Herr Won Heyde-
Brand He referred to the fact that
an army of millions had been put in
to the field, and said England was
like bulldog which could not h,
shaken off after its jaws had Dcen
closed However, he was convinced
be unnecessary to endure another
winter of war.

On the quay was brilliant assem-

"Marseillaise."
Among those who greeted General
Pershing were General Pellelier, who
will be prominently attached to Gen
eral Pershing during the War.
There was perfect silence when Cen
eral Pershing descended the gangway
to the pier. Then there came a gi-
gantic roar from the soldiers on the
pier, which extended gradually along
the harbor until it reached the streets
of the town, where it was taken up
by the public.
General Pershing inspected the
guard of honor composed OF veteran
territorials, many of whom have seen
fighting on every part of the front,
and whose breasts glittered with med
ais and war crosses.
''U. $. to DO Share"
General Pershing addressed CORES
pondents as follows:
Undoubtedly this is a more i'm
pressive day for all of us; the arrival
of the vanguard of the American
forces in France. 1t has impressed
us all very deeply, We more fully
appreciate the significance of our en-
try into the war after having stepped
on the shores of France than ever be-
fore, and now it will be a very serious
Thing for us.

America is in the war to do her share,
whatever the share may turn out to be,
whether great or small. l feel every
assurance in saying that can be fully
accounted for" 1..
