GENERAL CABLES

THE PROHIBITED "NATION." LONDON, April 17. In the House of Commons, Mr Bonar' Law stated that the "Nation ; s "'articles pleaded ; for peace and asserted that the British troops on the West front has been '.outmanoeuvred and foundwanting; Such a publication was undesirable. The same action would be taken as with the "Labour Leader." Mr Churchill considered the "Nation's" articles were less alarming and prejudiced than Mr Lloyd George's recent statements in .regard to the war outlook, and were mild reading compared to the Dardanelles report. * The motion was talked out. GERMANY'S, ONLY END. KAISER AND CROWN PRINCE MUST BE SACRIFICED. Germany's only practical course to avert final ruin lies in the dethronement of the House of Hohenzollern, is the. thesis of a Bavarian pamphlet which has reached Rome. It bears the title, "The Only Way Out," and is by the pseudonymous author, "Henrich Sieger." Reviewing the actual military situation, the Daily Chronicle's Rome correspondent states: The author likens the series of German victories to those of King Plyrrhus. They are, he says, purely euphemeral, and nobody can be more keenly aliv e to this fact than Hindenburg, whose collossal forward movement on the Eastern front has merely succeeded in shifting the scene of trench warfare a few hundred miles, and whose war-worn forces, for a long time inert and impotent in front of Riga and Dunaberg, have still before them vast, untrodden stretches of the Russian Empire. Sieger views Austria as approaching its death agony, and argues that the maintenance of the Austro-Hun-arian Empire by force of arms and police tyranny is no longer worth while now that the Empire has ceased to serve as a bulwark against the encroachments of Turkey. He foresees that England, France, and Russia will never consent to negotiate peace with the present "Kaiser or th e German Crown Prince, whereas "with the disappearance of the Hohenzollerns it will become possible for Germany to promote and cement cordial relations with England, as has happened in Great Britain's relations with France."
