No hu- man being will deny, that .Germany has indeed done her best to free the seas that is, to free them from carry- ing living men and ships. “Those who™ really liberated the seas from being a place of ceaseless’ ' agoriy from: whose ‘depths -rose like ; bubbles the last.dying breath of those sunk, ‘without a trace’ by .the most destrtictive band of brigands ever known—those were not the Germans, but England and her colonies, France, Italy and the United States, and it is they’ alone who have the right to speak loudly of ‘freedom of the seas.’ “Thesé others who have scattered broadcast the fruit of a million labors should be silent. The very seas theniselves might well pray for -de- liverance from these hypocrités who dare “speak. of the freedom of the seas,” : May. Attempt to Restore.

The minister is quoted: “Obviously our first demand from Gerniany will be the restitution of all of which we were robbed in hundreds of ways. As far as territorial tead- justments are concerned, if you care- fully read between the lines ‘of the passages of the recent. speech fron the throne which refers to the. old treaties, they will- tell you as mich as I can.” The passages in atcetion deal ¢s- ‘pecially. fith the international treaty of 1839 which fixed the status of Bel- gium, This treaty deprived the young kingdom of Belgjum of the principal portions: of her provinces of Leswig’ and Luxemburg and enriched. the German confederation by the Belgian: towns of the provintes of Liege, such as Stvith, Eupon, Malmady and Mont Joie.

He said that he, himself, had suffered too much through the former emperor to incur a charge of partiality, but that it was fa fact that William Hohenfoliern had no personal part in the war, but was tary. party, by which he was regarded as a coward, “When the moment for declaring war came, the militarists were afraid he would (fuse to. sign the declara- tion,” said Harden. “The férmer eim- peror missed his vocation. He. was never happier than when posing in the limelight. He ought to have managed a cabaret or taken ‘a show on tour. He was ~ great show man.” Declaring he knew when America came into the war that Germany would be. beaten, Hardcn said: “I fought. with sthe censors to tell the people this, and when: President Wil- son published his fourteen points I advocated their acceptance because I knew we could not get better or more favorable conditions.” No Gociaies Goods Wanted London. — All contracts for com- mercial enterprises Iect by the alder- men’ for the city and county of Lon- don, it has been decided, hereafter will contain a clause prohibiting the use of materials of Geramn © origin.
