Warns Against Peace Drive
"This present war drive of Germany's
may possibly be succeeded by a peace
drive. 1t will be drive adroitly de-
signed to short-sighted, well-meaning
people who fail to see that we must
suffer anything now rather than permit
conditions to remain such as to invite
a repetition of this war.
"The great danger in such a peace
is not whore the armies are fighting,
in the West, but where they are not
fighting, in the East. If Germany and
her vassal states are permitted to con-
troll the Balkans and the Russian
provinces and to dominate Western
Asia through the Turkish Empire, we
shall have seen the upbuilding of the
mightiest military despotism against
which the world will have to contend
for all time.

Lusitania atrocity. 1t asks why there

proof of the extent to which Germany's
many crimes against humanity have
deadened the worlds sense of tender
ness? 1t adds:
at is because the torpedoing of the
Lusitania summed up in one cold
blooded act the savage ruthlessness Of
the German race that the anniversary
of that foul deed should be celebrated
when every other commemoration is
forgotten"
In connection with the national war
bond campaign, Baron Rhondda, the
Food Controller, who. with Lady Mack
worth, his daughter, was aboard the
Lusitania when she was torpcdoed
three years ago to-day, has sent the
following message to the National War
Savings Committee:
"To-day is the third anniversary of
the sinking of the Lusitania. Many
events and many emotions have come
upon us since then. Ones memory is
laden with incidents that have stirred
the surprise and anger of the civilized
world.
ut still will keep in remembrance
the tragedy of the Lusitania. tragedy
enacted by an Emperor and people
who flung to the winds all restraint of

Rachel to weep for her children.
"Worse even than the sinking of the
vessel was the sinister way in which it
was planned and the shouts of exulta-
