SETTLING GERMANY'S FUTURE.

LORD CHABT.ES BERESFORD'S VIEWS. WHAT "JOHN BULL" PROPOSES. At a great mass recruiting meeting in Leeds Town Hall Lord Charles Bcresford said: "The country will fight this campaign to a knock-out. We lmvc against us an upstart empire that, from the; first has ruled with jackboot, sabre- and pistol. '■When we win, the first thing the Allies should do is to think of Belgium, and then we should take or sink all the German fleet, and not leave one single boat, even a steam pinnace, in which they could mount a gun. ••'Then her forts should be razed to the ground, and Krupp's should he blown to pieces. '■' Then all the provinces and peoples and countries that have, been filched should be returned to their real owners. "Then the Kiel Canal should be made over to Denmark, so that it could fulfil the peaceful pursuits of the world." • I Mr Ilorat'o Botlomley, editor of .Tolrn Bull, gave his views on the war to an audience at the London Opera House, He said:

"Every Briton who is capable of bearing arms and fails to enlist without sufficient cause is literally an alien enemy to this country." . Mr. Bottomlcy was of opinion that this would not be a protracted war, that it would be short and sharp, but that it would need every available man to enforce our terms on the common enemy. The terms suggested were:— Ho""-'ing over to Great Britain all the 0- .-man warships. We have every reason to believe that , they will be intact and uninjured. Payment of an indemnity sufficient to cover not only the cost of the war, but loss of trade and provision for the dependents of the killed and wounded. Partition of the Orman empire into the various tmall States as thev existed in 1868. The dethronement and banishment of the Kaiser. This is vital and paramount, and must be enforced.'
