will relinqush her unwholesome dreams
of universal domination she may play

London, Aug. B.
The Amsterdam correspondent of the
Daily Express reports that German news
papers are filled with columns of obltu-
airy notices of Field Marshal Won Eich-
horn, coupled with the usual allegation
that 1t was Entente Vaccinations which
caused his assassination. The Cologne
Gazette describes the murder as "typi-
cal piece of British diplomacy" 1t is
very bitter about those in and out of Ger
many who now proclaim that Germany's
policy toward Russia has been foolish
and short-sighted.
I'VE would like those eternal advisers
to get ukrainian corn into Germany" it
states. The Russians hated us before
the war; There Is no reason to believe
that they like us better since we have
beaten them. The Hettman has tele-
graphed the Kaiser that he would crush
the present Kiev revolt" adds the Ga
zette, land If his power is insufficient,
there are enough German troops in the
Ukraine to help him. We have been
called into the Ukraine to re-establish
order, and shall not leave the country
before that is done"
The Berlin Post considers the position
of the Germans in Russia untenabe. and
states: I'VE begin to wonder whether
we are really getting something from the
peace treaties with Russia and the
Ukraine"
Semofficially. the assassination of
Eichhorn is attributed to the Entente,
whose interest is supposed to be the Gre
alton of a state of anarchy In Russia,
whereas Germany wants order to be re-
stored. Whether military action against
the Ukraine is to be undertaken has not
been decided yet. Berlin political circles
seem unanimous that something ought to
be done, but they do not agree regarding
| the steps.

Canadian Premier Asserts
Cermany's Efforts to Gain
Ascendency Have Failed

Special Gable TO Euening Public Ledger
London. Aug. 3.
Sir Robert Borden this week reiterat-
ed the prediction that even should other
methods of warfare fail to bring about
"a military decision against Germany.
that desirable consummation would GER
tainly be attained by supremacy in the
air The date when that supremacy
would be finally established was fixed
by the Canadian Premier as dependent
upon America.
While rumors have latterly been cur
rent that Germany had been making
special efforts to counter the ascendancy
which the Allies obtained in the air,
there has been no evidence this last week
that these efforts have so far been sue
cessful. The fact that in a raid on
Saarbrucken seven British machines
were lost after heavy fighting was taken
by pessimists to Indicate the opening
of a new phase in the struggle for
ascendancy, hut the best information
available is that it is only by with
drawing urgently needed machines from
other vital points that the enemy
has been able to obtain a numerical
supremacy and that this was the case at
SaarbruCken.
If anything, British ascendancy has
been confirmed by the present weeks
records, which show that for every
British machine which failed to return
more than two German machines are
known to have been destroyed
Some authorities believe 1t to be al
ready obvious that to maintain her bat
tie squadrons at effective strength and
at the same time to defend her many
vulnerable positions elsewhere is al
ready beyond the power of Germany.
