The Stalls Zeitung says that Germany does not desire conquest. The Anglophohe Washington Post swallows the German bait, but the responsible press scouts the idea of a premature peace and gives cogent reasons why a‘ separate peace is unthinkable. : ■

Mr J. RedmKiid says-that he would not be justi'fieuiir asking the Government to enter peace negotiations, while the German aggressors have not shown a disposition to repair the wrongs inflicted on Belgium and tho other Allies. r>

FICFY-.-T5 THE BITTER END

“A TRAITOROUS PEACE."

A remarkable book, to be. sold for the benefit of disabled soldiers, has been written by M. Auatole France, ami is dedicated to King Albert. The author thus sums up the firm resolution of all Frenchmen :

We will carry this war, which we did not want, to the bitter end. Wo will continue our terrible and beueficient task until the German military power is completely destroyed. Wo love peace too dearly to allow it to be unstable. It is criminal to cry for peace and criminal to desire it until we have reduced to nothingness the forces of oppression which have weighed so much upon Europe for the last 1 Until this is done we must only l talk' through the months of our guns. So many heroes must not have di?d in vain.

If 1 were to learn that any Frenchman allowed himself to be seduced by masked phantoms of a hideous peace I would ask Parliament to declare a traitor to his country any\ one who would prdpose to treat with the enemy whilst he, occupies the smallest part of French 6r Belgian territory.
