Bryce said' he had received an address
signed by some Americans, a large pro
portion of whom had come from Ger
many, saying:
"The war must end in a draw; why
not make peace at once and save fur

He would tell the guests of the day.
Viscount Bryce continued, why neither
the British nor their allies could fol
low that advice. He yielded to none in
his love of peace, but he declared: "We
cannot agree to any such peace as is
suggested, either by these gentlemen
or by the German government.
"In the first place we do not think
this war will be a 'draw.' The allies
are going to win. We believe this be
cause the allies will prove to be
stronger on land than .the Germans and
because we hold unshakable control of
the sea.
"Secondly, peace cannot be made now
because the German government Is not
prepared for it on any terms we could
accept. The German government may
know they are going to be beaten, but
the German people do not yet know it.
Thirdly, because peace made now on
such terms as the German government
would accept would be no permanent
peace, but a mere truce.
'Lastly, because we are fighting for
great principles; principles vital to the
future of mankind; principles which the
German government outraged and
which must at all costs be vindicated.
'What we desire is to exorcise an evil
spirit and discredit the military caste
which delights in war and threatens
not only Europe, but all countries.

In concluding. Viscount Bryce said
that Great Britain was fighting for the

Mayor Moraht Says Gains of Allies
Prove Small and Must Be Rla
cournsinR Unes Are Said to
Ho Safe From Break.
BERLIN, via London, July S. In view
of the fact that -the initial attack of
every offensive is hardest to withstand
owlntr to the unavoidable effect of sur
prise with superior masses or troops
and accumulated ammunition, the mili
tary critics here are unanimous in con
sidering that the great offensive ln the
west has made a showing which cannot
encourage Germany's opponents.
Major Moraht, in. the Tageblatt, calls
the Anglo-French successes "very
scanty." He writes:
"he critical moment for the success
of a great attempt to breach a line is
the time between the beginning of the
enemy Infantry attacks and of the
counter attacks which the defenders
are able to make, after concentrating
their forces. The enemy's success in
the four " days' offensive, from this
viewpoint, is very small. The enemy
succeeded in overrunning the demol
ished German first trenches in several
places with heavy forces. The resist
ance could not be greater, because little
except dead remained ln the plowed-up
trenches. Where the Germans stood
on the defensive stubborn fighting oc
curred and as the enemy reports, the
Germans fought obstinately to the last
man.
"At other points the German leaders,
with cool deliberation and with troops
well in hand, bent back elasttcally.
This counter tactic Involved the enemy
in embarrassment, as he was unable to
impart the finishing stroke to the de
fenders with the first drum fire; he
had to begin anew with artillery prep
aration or attack the unweakened de
fenders ns an alternative. The reports
of the offensive must prove directly
discouraging to the attacking forces.
Tarls heard the cannon thunder as
in 1914. For let it again be Paid that
the operative efficiency of the attack
ing British army is inadequate to break
all our rows to lines which have been
most throughly concentrated and expel
us from France and Belgium."
The Morgen Post critic says tht the
latest reports show that the British
and French are gaining no ground, but
that the Central Powers have made
gains in Volhynia and south ot the
Lnelater.
Other comments follow the same
lines, absolute confidence being ex
pressed that the entente allies are un
able to menace the German lines anywhere.
