TEUTONS TO

says: _ : 1
"Mr. Asqulth's inquiry; ag to
whtiiner we were ready, to restore
Belgium's lull fredom tcan only be
mcani as a rhetorical question, for
Mr. Asquith must knojv. that, ttoide
from a handful of dreamers, nobody
thinks of handing Belgium again
to England and France."
The Ca'holic organ, the Cologne
Volks Zaitung, attempts to prove
tha/ the jretenion of Belgium and
tho annexation, ofj region? in the
eais'' are indispensable to that pro
tection of the German frontiers
which Chancellor Mlch&ella speci
fied.
The Tageg Zeitung adoptg this
contention enthusiastically. Some
of tho radical newspapers, on the
other hand, seeks to glv^ the im
pression that the government ;is
so bound by the relchtstag resolu

only to propose peace without an

NATIONAL. TRAIT
War has wrought a wonderful
change j in the character of the
French, people, Fredericj Abernathy
Coleman, an American war cor
respondent, told the members of the
.Municipal League at their luncheon
yew'erday in the Washington An
nex.
"Those who knew France before
the war and who havei visited there
recently are astounded ,at the re
sult orought about by. the great con
flict," declared Mr. Coleman. |"ln
the other combatant countries self
sacrifice is indivdual, but in France
it is national. All France, every
person and every interest, is in the
war. This national self-sacrifice
has built an entirely new character
for the people. Deipite their ter
rible trials they are cheerful. J In
'he deepest hour of their deepest
gloom they are hopeful. France at

•■aiu any great material advantage,
hut of all the nations engaged in
the conflict she will emerge the
greatest in an idealistic sense. She
