Influenza Epidemic
Delays German Drive

7 .ONDON, June 28.-Infuenza
is now epidemic all along the
German front, according to ad-
vices received here from the
Dutch frontier, and the prev
alence Of this ailment is said to
be hampering the preparations
for offensive operations.
The proportion of men sent to
hospitals on account of in
fiuenza has risen rapidly in all
the German units in the last few
days, and special hospitals are
being established in the rear
areas dealing solely with this
disease. Thus far only the more
serious cases have been sent to
the hospital. but the German
army doctors say that unless
even the light cases are removed
from the units it will be difficult
to prevent q further spread Of
the epidemic.
The disease prevalent in the
German army is reported to be
Of the new Spanish type, which
recently broke out in Berlin and
other German cities, and is pre-
sumed to have been brought to
the trenches by men returning
from leave. In the German
cities the disease has been hard
to deal with owing to the short
age Of doctors and the conditions
of undernutrition among the
city populations.

the German Foreign Minister TO the
idea that 1t is impossible 10 end the
war by military means. although ex-
pressed in extremely vague and elusive
terms. is regarded as the only utteran"e
in his speech indicating a change in
attitude on the part OF Germany re-
zarding peace terms.
The purport Of the two speeches o' the
Foreign Minister may he summed up a.
follows: Germany Is willing to ne

Germany shall gain everything and lose
nothing
Additional doubt Of the genuineness

associated himself entirely with the
opinion of Count Wcstarp that the
sword would have to bring peace. say

dit!on and basis Of diplomatic ncgotia-
tions.'
Accused Of Altering speech.
In his second speech Won Kuehlman'
so palpably retracted many of the state
ments in his previous utteraHcr that he
was interrupted continually by Con-
seryative members. who accused him
Of having altered the shorthand report
OF those parts of his first speech dealing
with this matter.

Won Kuehlmann. must bear the blame OF
having brought on the war. 1t also was
considered extremely significant that he
WAS silent on the subject Of Americas

These features OF the Foreign Minis.

This movement is referred to by the

NUCLEUS NOW Is FORMED

I.oNp3N. June 2S.-The House OF
Lords to-day discussed the proposed
plans OF league Of nations after the
war viscount Bryce urged the Govern
ment TO open an inquiry into the subject
and to let the world know that il was
doing so.
Earl Curzon of kedleston. Govern
ment leader in the House Of Lords.
agreed will, viscount Bryce that there
was no reason why. without waiting for
the termination OF the war. the Govern
ment should not discuss the proposal
for league Of nations, which. he said
ought to be called into existence imme-
diately the war was ended. To large
extent leagues Of nations existed al
ready. as an instance the league OF
the British Empire and the league OF
over twenty nations allied TO resist Ger
man militarsm. There also was in
existence in Paris machinery represent
ing Great Britain. France. Italy and the
United States for unity in naval, mill.
tary and economic matters.
Basis for Action.
These. Earl Curzon continued. repre-
sented two-hfths Of the human race and
formed at least a nucleus on which II
was possible to proceed.
In outlining the duties OF such league
as was proposed Earl Curzon said tina.
In order to be effective 1t ought TO en-
brace all States. certainly all great
States, but II was difficult to contemplate
Germany being admitted.
;,t,a a o,,lt IN.
volved in the idea Earl Curzon said he
desired the House to assent to two
propositions: First. that 1t was desir-
able to prevent wars. or II that was too
utopian. to limit them and diminish their
horrors. TO which end general concur
renee and the ultimate admission OF all
the important states OF the world were
necessary.
Second. he said he believed opinion in
England was rather in advance OF the
opinion among the Allies. except pos
sibly the United States II therefore
was advisable not to proceed too quickly
and thus avoid rcbunr.
Must Quell Germany.
The admission OF Germany to a league
OF nations, Earl Curzon continued. was
| impossible until she was compelled by
force Of arms to abandon her world
dream. Therefore. in the first place he
suggested that there be two leagues. one
| friendly league Of allied nations and an
other league OF enemy nations. In the
| friendly league he suggested that re-
fusal to submit a quarrel to arbitration
should by the very fact itself place the
refusing nation In a state OF war with
the others, and they should support each
other without the need Of any inter
| national policy.
These were the lines the Government,
considered desirable and was earnestly
| invest igating with the idea before Ions
Of exchanging views with the Allies
