Blow for Freedom

London. July 14.-Dsvid Lloyd
George. the British Premier, to-day
sent a telegram to Prince Lvof, Rus
sian Prime Minister, congratulating the
Russian government and people on the
success of the Russian offensive. The
text of the telegram reads:
"Heartiest congratulations Of the
British government on the success Of
the Russian offensive. 1t is a splendid
tribute to the practical wisdom and de-
termination of the Russian govern
ment and people that only few
months after the revolution, whereby
they won freedom for themselves. they
should have struck so great blow for
the freedom of the world.
This news. coming as 1t does IN the
last phase of the great battle against
autocratic rule, has been of immense
announcement to US all, for IT shows
that free Russia clearly sees there can
be no lasting peace and no reconstruc-
ton of the world upon better lines
until Serbia, Belgium and the other
despoiled nations have been rescued
from the blasting tyranny OF military
despotism, and until responsibility OF

fRg Cahle 70 The Tribunal

London, July 1.-THE German En-
piA is on the eve Of some form of
dcmocratization.
From the best information can get,
Matthias Erzberger. leader of the Cath
Ollie Centre party, started the move at
the instigation of Chancellor Won Beth
mann -Hollweg. and for these reasons:
First-The pressure of Emperor
Charles for peace.
Second-The awakening Of the Ger
man people to the fact that they could
rot win a military decision.
Third-The realization of the Ger
man rulers that the Allies could not
make peace on any satisfactory terms
to Germany until the country was
democratized.
Fourth-The desire to have the Ger
man people believe that the impetus
for a change came from within and net
a. the demand of the enemy.

form or merely a "grandstand play
