There was a demand for the recon

What Is the answer from Ger

"When I suggested that Mesopotamia

the answer of Germany 'We will go

Is there a single condition laid
down by you in your trade-union aims

I will ten you another fact which
Is very significant. There has been no

"There have been conference hur

That the Prussian military power is

"You either have got to put your
whole strength in It, or Just do what
la done In the Russian army and tell
those brave fellows that they can go
home whenever they Ilk and no one
will stop them.
Believe me. If there are men who
say they will not go Into the trenches,
then the men who are In the trenches
have a right to say 'Neither will we
remain here.
Suppose our men should leave the

It would; but what sort of an end?
Fraternising Ne Ottetarle.
"When the Russians ceased fighting
and simply talked Ideals and principles
with the German army did the Ger
man army retreat? No. They took
Riga and the Island. Fraternizing did
not prevent their marching forward.
If Petrograd had been nearer they
would have taken it also.

A grest number of questions were

Into peace negotiations or the permit

Lloyd George, In replying, said:
"Germany always has been ready for
peace for peace at her own price, but
that is not a price that we are pre
pared to pay. The moment the Ger
mans show a disposition to negotiate a
peace on equitable terms and they
are the terms the Labor party itself
has. In substance, adopted there will
be no reluctance to enter into the

In the same breath the Premier chal
