Kaiser Fails TO Realize
Serious Allied War Aims

this war is for territory alone. Re-
garding the attitude of the German
majority socialists, the Manchester
Guardian says:
prudence dictates that they should
hold themselves in reserve until FUR
ther hard blows are rendered and the
kaiser and his associates are more
tractable. They ought to know by
now that it is not the socialists argu-
ment and still less the felicity of per-
sonal association with the socialists
that will ever bring the kaiser and
the junkers to a remuneration of SOW
ereignty. Only bitter necessity Will
effect that"
Meanwhile, there are fresh rumors
about the Turkish feeiers through rep
resentatives in Switzerland. One re-
port states the Turks have approached
Washington indirectly in the hope or
getting encouragement from the Pres
ident. ~

spicuouslN lacking, was never more es-
