GERMANY WANTED ELBOWROOM.
United Press Association.
London, November 18
Herr Harden, in an article in his newspaper, Die Zukunft, says: "Let us drop the miserable attempts to excuse Germany's action. Not against our will, and as a nation surprised, did we hurl ourselves into this gigantic venture. We willed it. We do not Lj stand before the judgment seat of Europe. We acknowledge no such jurisdiction. Our might shall create a new law in Europe. It is Germany that strikes, and from the immovable conviction that her achievements entitle her to more elbow-room in the world. Germany must take her place as the leading Power, retain Belgium and a narrow strip of the coast as far as Calais. She does not desire indemnities. Her object is to hoist the flag on the Channel that opens and closes the way to the Atlantic. This being done, will voluntarily close the war/' . •
