No arguments or appeals--no mat

Such, in substance, is the British
feeling regarding the freedom of the

today by Winston Spencer Churchill,
former naval chief. and now, as min
lister Of munitions. member OF the
Lloyd George government.
Colonel Churchills statement was

announced in course of his address,
that Great Britain does not intend to

this was unnecessary. He also an

France and America will be one in
agreement that the peace terms can
not be predicated upon the theory of
extreme liberals that world disarma-
ment or reduction of standing armies
is possihle, in the near future. This
view is almost unanimous held by
foreign plenipotentiaries, although
they are agreed tina, all nations enter
the conference inspired by the belief
that the day Is not far distant when
the traditional system of control in
Europe will be banisfed for all
time
IL is recognized that from the hour

France the voics of the liberal group
will hp raised in an effort to-~bfing
about strong movement in the
peace conference for the enactment
of such peace terms as will indicate
that the crushing of Germany is no
longer considered tantamount to per-

Emotion OF Audience.
In reporting this juncture OF the
speech, the Hamburg papers describe
the great audience as being seized by
q tremendous emotion. There were
wiki cries of Hear hear" and for
several minutes there was such rest
lessness and noise that the speaker
had to wait Hardens accurate
sources of information always have
been his chief asset. There have
been times when he proved in court
sensational revelations of another ma
tHFe, and there was no one in that
Hamburg audience who doubted his
words. However, when he quoted
Moitke's words, the realization that
they had been deceived in an unbe-
Mevable systematic manner for four
years seemed to break upon his hear
ers with crushing force.
Another Opportunity Lost.

for liquidation OF the war. and it.
