Practices Her Preachings.

1--WE are fortunate in that Germany
practices what she breaches" said
Mr.. Balfour. and he added that never
could a German statesman bring him.
self to say plainly. clearly and def
nitely. I'VE took Belgium without ex-
cuse. We mean to give it back and.
in SO far as lies in US, we mean to give
it back with all that we have taken
from it"
Mr.. Balfour referred to the German
policies that were being carried out
in Russia. and added:
ITO Finland Germany appeared as q
liberator. Next to being enslaved by
Germany there is no worse fate than
beng liberated by Germany"
Farther to the south Germany was
endeavoring by force and by a treaty
that had been extorted by force to
make the Esthonians, the Let's, the
Lithuanians, the Poles and the
Ukrainians her handmaidens in the
matter of commerce and to supply her
with troops in time of war.
German methods also were written
in very large characters in Rumania.
Mr.. Balfour declared. Germany not
only forced Rumania to give contri-
buttons to her war expenditures, but
she had seized the industries of Ru-
mania and held that country under
complete military and economic
domination.

No Menace to Neighbors.

Mr.. Balfour replied to this: Ger
tainly, but has France menaced the
peace of her neighbors? That is the
whole point. No greater instrument
for disturbing the peace of the world
and increasing mankind's mfseries
could be conceived than to give to
Germany the great central African do
miniosn for offense within that conti-
nent and an offense perhaps even
more perilous against the great trade
arteries that join the nations to-
gether.
In concluding he pointed out that the
pacifist wished a peace that would
make future wars inevitable, but they
desired it on terms that would leave
an immense fraction of civilized man
kind absolutely under the German
heel and put back the whole progress
of civilization. He recognized that
these honorable members of the house
were animated by patriotism and hon.
orable motives. but he believed that
they were doing the worst service
they possibly could to the cause tfaS
they had at heart

BAFOUR ANSWERS
PEACE STATESMEN
Declares Talk of Ideals Puts
Aside True Obstacle to
End of War.
BLAMES FOE sAVANTs

LONDON, August S.-On a motion
for adjournment of the house of COM
mons until October Is. William Craw-
ford Anderson, labor member. who
belongs to the small pacifist group
in the house. tonight again raised
the question of peace, declaring that.
while the government strove for
unity of command regarding military
operations. there had not been any
thing like unity of ST tltesmanship
between the allied countries regard
ing the aims and purposes which they
had set out TO achieve.
Mr.. Anderson also urged the gov
ernment not to plunge into protec-
tion or preference, which. he said.
would endanger the prospects Of the
formation of league of nations.
Balfour Makes Reply.
Arthur J. Balfour. British foreign
secretary. in replying to MIR. Ander-
son. said that all talk about bringing
ideals home to the democracy of Ger
ducing the German majority So
cialists to change their opinions.
really brushed aside the true obstacle
TO legitimate peace, namely. that Ger
man militarism was based not upon
the ambition of a few soldiers. nor
on the strictly military caste, but on
the fact that German writer's, pro-
fessors, men of theory and men OF
action, those engaged in commerce
and in historical speculation. were
all united in the theory that the true
policy of any nation that wishes to be
great was the policy of universal
domination. That gross immoral
heresy had spread it's roots through
the most educated classes Of Ger
many, and until those roots were
eradicated there was very little hope
that Germany would become MEM
Der of the peaceful society of nations.
The evil originally came from the
facile success of Germany in the war
and the way to eradicate it was to
show Germany that war did not al
ways lead to facile successes or to
successes at all.

Compares Methods.

Mr.. Balfour told the pacifists that
II they wished to know the difference
between the British and the German
methods they should compare condi-
tionS in southern Palestine and Meso-
potamia and the German colonies
which Great Britain had occupied with
the conditions of the countries which
Germany had occupied. Wherever
We have gone security has been as
sured. trade has grown and wealth
has been increased" he asserted.
Study as he would, Mr.. Balfour did
not see in the actions of the German
government. in the statements of
German politicians or in the writings
of German publicists the slightest
sign or symptom that they were suf-
ficiently close to their opponents to
make the discussion of peace fruitful
Mr. Balfour asked the pacifists
whether they wished to hand back
to Germany, as Germany now Is, her
African colonies. The pacifists we'll
knew that would mean giving Ger
many submarine bases on all the
worlds great trade routes and put
ting the worlds commerce at Ger
knew that it meant q tyrannical gov
ernment of the natives, and that Ger
many would deliberately set to work
to form a great black army in Gen.
trail Africa, which would make peace
able developments impossible.

ESTABLISH MODEL
FARMS IN FRANCE

A model farm has been established
by the American Red Cross at Courbet,
for it has been found that farm work
is one of the very best means of hasten
ing the recovery of those men suffering
from shell shock. One farm of 500
acres has been laid out in the depart
ment of Indre-et-Loire that is planned
and is to be managed after the meth
DDS pursued in our own great farming
regions Of the West.
Since these farms will be worked al
most entirely by the convalescent sol
diers and those made unfit for active
service, the expense of maintainance
| will be very little.
| But the saving of human life will be
| enormous. And every farmer in this
| country who enrolls in the Christmas
| Red Cross Roll Call viii be helping in
directly to carry on this reconstruction
work among the mutilated soldiers in

more Germany would have been iIresist-
ible in war, for she would have made drug

world. Into well-known brands of tooth
paste and patent medicines-naturally for
export notwithstanding drugs were to
be introduced; at first, little, then more,

quantities Already the test had been
maderon natives in Africa, who responded
readily; if the general staff had not been
in such a hurry German scientists would
have made their task an easy one, for
in "A few years Germany would have fall
