The Germans have thrown near
ly million men into the gigantic
battle now raging between Sois-
sons and Rheims, and have been
viciously counter attacking along
the whole front in formidable
force. However, it appears that
they have made not more than

Unofficial adyices state that II

the struggle, and that of these ten
were drawn from Prince Rup-
precht's army in the north.

SUBMISSION OF
GERMANY AIM
Must Fight on to This Point
Lord Hugh Cecil
Declares.

London. Aug 26.-"The war must he
fought until It ends in the submission
of Germany. and by submission do
not in the least mean destruction"
declared Lord Hugh Cecil, member Of
Parliament for Oxford University, in
a letter containing a statement Of his
conception OF the allied war aims
Lord Cecil continued:
I'VE do not seek to destroy Ger
many. but we seek to force the Ger
mans to recognize that they have
been defeated and to submit to the
authority Of . power stronger than
they. Negotiations at the present
time might lead to an agreement as
between equals. but not to the sub
mission OF a defeated nation to a
superior power. And until that SUBJ
mission Is made it is idle to hope the
German government will turn from
the false Gods which it worships.>
1T Is not merely a matter of ma
tional interests being involved.
From the time of the burning of
Louvain it began to be seen that it
is not merely for the redemption of
Belgium, not to bring a conflict
of national interests to the decision
OF the ordeal of battle. but to pre-
serve the well-being of the civilized
world from a monstrous evil, that
We fight.
That the citizens of a nation can
know no higher object than to ad-
vance the interests of that nation
and for that object may commit
any cruelty and any perfidy. is a
doctrine which civilization must
either destroy or itself perish. The
war Is now a crusade. We tight to
overthrow a principle. to stamp out
a moral disease. to extirpitate an
abomination."
