from Von Tlrpits- soul 'NeverT
There was a demand for the recon
sideration of the wrongs of Alsace-Lorraine.
What Is the answer from Ger
many Never!
"When I suggested that Mesopotamia
and Palestine should never be restored
to the tyranny of the Turk, what was
the answer of Germany 'We will go
on until they are restored.'
Is there a single condition laid
down by you in your trade-union aims
to which you have had any response
from anybody in Germany who has got
any authority to speak? rvot one.
I will ten you another fact which
Is very significant. There has been no
civilian answer at all.
Prrasalaai Fewer Dominant.
"There have been conference hur
riedly called together. General von
Hindenburg and von Ludendorff were
brought back from their armies In
great hurry to Berlin, but Herr von
Kuehlmann ha not been allowed to

If It mesns anything. It means this
That the Prussian military power is
dominant and the answer which is to
be given to civilisation Is an answer
which will be given from the cannon's
mouth. Do not let us harbor any de
lusiona.
'You might a well stop fighting,

you are not going to do it with all
your might It ia really murder of the
gallant fellow who have stood there
for three years.
"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
renches. would that end the war? Yes,
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.
"The Channel ports are not so far
from the fighting line and unless we
are prepared to stand up wun me

"What sort of term do you think we
would get from General von Hinden
burg If we ssld to him. 'We want you
to clear out of Belgium'? He would say-

A grest number of questions were
put to the Premier by the delegates
regarding the advisability of entering
Into peace negotiations or the permit
ting of a conference at Stockholm. Mr.
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
peace negotiations."
The Premier's objection to a confer

that delegates of the German govern

interjected:

Mr. Lloyd George replied to this:

In the same breath the Premier chal
