the chief helps toward this result.
I'VE have been manufacturing heavier

materials must continue with the power

should mobilize her industrial resources
for the purposes OF war. She has gigantic
steel works and vast ammunition facto-
ries so that she will be able to give US in

Germany for Domination.

While the entente makes no preten-

continually insisted upon the idea that
the old rights of nations no longer ex-
list: that the races fighting against he'd
are in a state of complete decadence;
that it is Germany's task to institute
new order of the rights of nations
TO reorganize Europe in accordance
with her own interest
I'm these conditions Germany has
constituted a unique and serious obsta-
Gle in the way of establishing definitive
frontiers and developing normal inter-
national relations. Only victory over
Germany will make it possible for
President Wilson's desires to be full
filled.

GERMANY AN OBSTACLE

BY the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD, April 1.-'I always was
of the opinion the United States would
take part in the war on the side of the
allies said Prof. Paul Milukoff, min
lister of foreign affairs in the new gov
ernment, in an interview with the press
representative today.
The definition by President Wilson
of the purposes Of the war. continued
Prof. Milukoff. corresponds entirely
with the declara tions of the states
men of the allied powers.
For Prevention of Conflicts.
M. BRAND, Mr.. Asquith and Viscount
Grey all expressed themselves con-
tinuaJly on the necessity of seeking TO
prevent conflicts of armed forces by
providing peaceful methods of solu-
tion for international disputes and Gre
atins new organization of nations
based upon order and justice in inter
national life. The democracy of free
Russia is able TO associate itself COM
pletely with these declarations.
This concord between the. United
States and the entente powers in the
realm of ideas constituted the best
guarantee of the imminent participa-
tlon or America IN the world-"lde war
against Germany. 1t is to be noted
that even in formulating her aspira-
tions toward peace Germany has al
ways kept in view the maintenance of
her own supremacy, desiring to place
herself at the head of 'pacified man
kind
The only principle which has stood
g a bar between US and President
Wilson's international program was
embodied in the phrase peace without
victory. The remuneration of victory
on the part of the allies would have
meant the impossibility of dealing with
the great problems. the solution of

From the New York Sun.
II Is an interesting evidence OF the
farsightodness which the problems OF
war time have developed In Great
Britain that today, while we are pre-
pairing 10 get into the war, her press
and public men are considering meth
ods Of rehabilitation after the war Is
over. The problem presents many dr.
flcultles. When the conflict is over
Great Britain will have under arms
about 100000 men who must be aD-
sorbed again into civil life as rapidly
as possible. The public will not toler-
ate the maintenance OF an army with
its prodiglous expense a day longer
than necessary, and all the machinery
lis being perfected today for mastering
out these men, sending them TO their
! homes. finding them employment as
speedily as possible, and supplying
them with the means Of subsistence
until that employment IS found.
As soon as peace seems TO be In I'M
