General White Saws
This Is Not Time
To Talk Peace

This Is no time to talk about peace
II we should have peace now it would
mean simply that ten, or twenty, or
forty years from now our children
would have to ft.ht the war all over
again."
That was the message delivered by
brlgadler General w. A. White, chief
OF the British and Canadian Recruiting
MISSION in the United States. to about
o'oOo British citizens yesterday after
noon In the stadium of the College of
the City of New York. General White
made no direct reference to the latest
peace speech of Lord Lansdowne, al
though much of his talk seemed in the
nature of response to Lansdowne's
words. General White said there was
no way of dealing with a German gov
ernment which has shown that it re-
spects no treaties and has neither faith
nor honor.
Grit your teeth the speaker con-
tlnued; make up your minds that we
must beat the Germans in the field.
Some time, sooner or later, we are
gong into Germany and dictate the
terms OF peace That is the only way
to end this war"

increasing every month, Mr.. Ryan said.
Four hundred were turned out in july

Lansdowne Peace
Letter Is Amazing
To u. S. Officials
Washington Is Astonished
That He Holds Teuton
Profers To Be Sincere
Especial Dtspntch to The Trihunel

Nopectdt De9pGtCh to The Irtbune)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Officials
close to President Wilson were as
much astonished to-day by the con-
tents of Lord Lansdowne's second
peace letter as they were by the pub
llcation of the first. 1t was considered d
amazing that a statesman of the
standing of the Marquis of Lansdowne
could insinuate that the peace dec
larations of Germany and Austria
hungary have been sincere and that
he should lend the weight of his au-
thorlty to those pacifists who pretend
that the Allies have not taken and are
not now taking advantage of opportu-
mites for the conclusion of reason
able" peace.
Pointed objection was voiced to the
former Foreign Minister'S implied ac-
cusatlon that Germany had not been
given chance of proving whether she
was sincere or not in her previous ap-
proaches on the subject of peace.
After asserting that there were album
dant indications that occasions for a
preliminary agreement on the essen
tlal points between the belligerents
may soon present themselves, he
added:
LET us be prepared to meet them,
and in reasonable spirit let us give
our adversaries the chance of showing
whether their overtures are sincere
or not"
Lansdowne, it was declared by high
officials, is discounted by what already
has occurred. Germany has been given
abundant opportunity to reveal her
true intentions, and in three notable
instances has repudiated her own pro
fessiogs, these being in the treaties
of Brest-Litovsk and of Bucharest,
which she has wantonly violated, and
in the Reichstag's peace resolutions of
July 10, 1917, which never received
more than lip service from the i'm
perial German government
1t is not believed here that Lans-
downe represents any very strong fol-
lowing in England, and it is thought
certain that his influence is no greater
in the Allied countries than in Amer
lea, where it is nil so long as he ad-
vocates the institution of negotiations
with an undefeated Germany and op-
poses the "knock out blow" which
Americans, Allied diplomats here de-
clare, feel that they have been spe-
claily called to administer to the Prus-
sian military machine.

Germans"
Limited Government Control
While agreeing that interference with
trade and industry must disappear
after the war, Mr.. Lloyd George said
there must be some exceptions during
the transition period. Government in
terference to a considerable extent
would be needed to get raw material
and organize transport, he said, and in
regard to executing contracts for
abroad, "I think we ought to see that
the people who have been fighting to-
gether should be served first"
Don't let US make the mistake Of
dissolving the partnership the moment
the fighting is over" the Premier
added
Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, followed the Premier in a
BRET speech, in which he expressed
general agreement with Mr.. Lloyd
George. The Chancellor pointed out
that some control of raw materials was
needed after the war, in order to nre-
vent old enemies from organizing a
corner IN them. He also emphasized
that as result of the war, so far as
the present British government was
concerned. the principle chat wa are
