able to checkmate. Take only one
example. England rules the cablr

The situation is such that the procur-
ing Of the necessary raw materials by
private initiative is impossible.
The hostile ring can not be broken
even tho the peace terms provide
against hostile action IN the way of
withholding raw materials. The only
possible course to be taken at the
peace conferapce, DR.. Embden says, Is
that the various states among them
selves shall arrange with Germany the
quantity of raw materials they are
prepared to yield and which they must
yield in order to secure favorable
peace. Each state mus. be prepared
to take into its own possession ITS own
output and thus eliminate all private
speculation. 1t will not do, the writer
asserts. II enemy states are only pre-
pared to supply Germany after their
own wants are supplied, or that Ger
man factories can only get to work as
soon as the factories o. foreign coun-
tries have superfluity.
Then, as quoted by The Daily
Chronicle Of London, DR.. Embden con-
tinues:

Germans in Dread Of Economic

Writing in the vossische Zeitung d
few weeks ago, when the military out
look for Germany on the western front
was considerably brighter than at
present. a political and economic the
orist named DR.. Embden demanded
that no peace be concluded which did
not guarantee the supplying of Ger
many with the raw materials which it
would need TO rebuild its economic
structure. Furthermore, Dr. Embder
spoke frankly uf the heavy new arma :;
ments which will be- necessary after
the war" thus admitting that he re-
garded peace at present as merely an
armistice.
In beginning his article. which is
largely along the lines followed by
many other writer's in the GermaA
press, DIR. Embden remarks that~it is
really q miracle how Germany. entirely
dependent on it's own resources, has
held out for four years of war. 1t
was only possible. he said, by the
sternest economy Of materials, by the
increase OF nome production and by
the manufacture Of substitutes which
are q splendid testimony to the bril-
lance of German technique. But IL
the economic position Of Germany is,
to be rebuilt 'our sorely tried people
must have access to the supplies on
which our economic greatness depends.
In no other way can we reconquer the
markets we have lost"
DR.. Embden deplores the fact that
England. American, and their allies
control all the important sources of

BOOST TO IRISH RECRUITING.
America's Participation in War Trump
Gard in Campaign.

Correspondence Associated Press.l\
Dublin. july 14.-America's partici
ipation in the war is the trump card
used by the Irish recruiting council,
formed to put into effect the govern
ment.s offer to accept $4,000 voluntary
recruits from Ireland in place OF three
or four times that number of con-
scripts.
They are publishing widely the dec
larauons of American cardinals, arch
bishops and bishops and evidence Of
cordial participation in the war by
Irish Catholic Americans. They point
out that the war is as much America
and Frances as it is England's and
urge Irishmen to take a fair share In
it.
So far, they seem to have made only
slight impression. Nationalist de-
clare that II Ireland is to take an active
part in the war 1t must first have homo
rule. The Ulster party is willing to ac-
cept CONSUMPTION.
According to the latest announce
ment OF the government the result may
be three months hence, the forcibie ap-
plication of CONSUMPTION everywhere in
ireland outside northeast Ulster. 1t has
been decided to divide Ireland into ten
Areas and to apportion to each the
share of the $4,000 recruits 1t ought to
furnish. Any area which furnishes its
quota will be held to have satisfied the
claim upon it and will be thenceforth
Tree from the application Of conscrip.
ton. 1t us regarded as certain that,
belfast and the northeast area win
readily provide its share OF the volun-
tary recruits and doubted whether any
other part OF Ireland will do SO.
The result would be that the only
part Of Ireland which now declares. its
willingness to accept CONSUMPTION
would be the only part free from it.
me rest OF Ireland would be chaos Of
violent opposition and resistance.
