Want VICTORY FIRST
Allied Soldiers Are Unanimous in
Peace Views.
Officers and Men Oppose Granting an !.
Armistice to Germans at
Present Time.

With the British Army in France,
Oct. S.-Soldiers in all the Allied
armies desire peace, but no peace ex-
cept completely victorious one. This
was the opinion expressed by officers
and men alike
If Germany is now willing to admit
her utter defeat, then, say these men
who have been fighting the good fight
for the liberty of the world, so much
the better, but, they declare, the grant
ing OF an armistice at this time, un-
less the enemy is absolutely sincere,
might prove extremely dangerous.
Victory first; then peace" This is
the manner in which the French civil.
ians. who have returned to their shell.
wrecked homes in Northern France,
express themselves, when the subject
OF an armistice Is discussed.
The same idea runs through the
minds of all the Allied armies, where
men have seen their comrades die and
where the feeling is that they have
died in vain unless victory is absolute
The suspension of hostilities even
for few days would enable the Ger
mans to continue their preparations Of
lines to which they might retire for
the winter
The Allied armies are in a strong
and advantageous position and the
general feeling here is that that de-
feat OF Germany may come sooner than
expected elsewhere than at the front.
