three years of military effort which
was Unprecedented, there was no inn

Utilities. The severe character Of the
war aud its prolongatioa tempted some
persons to ask why peace should not
be attempted by other means. He
would tell them, he said, it was be

Germany in 1914 still held good.
The lust of world dominion which
dictated the policy Of aggressive mill
