Sir Thomas White has been min ister finance for the whole period of the War and thus knows at first Tite Sake of hu3iaxity. Six months ago the German Chancellor s plea for peace for the hand the might be called Sake of humanity might have been the Canada s War Fin As a sinister threat. Hafl an cing. That Story he will Tell to German thrust shortly to be " she to a Winnipeg audience. J made reached the heart of France every Winnipeg citizen whose and crippled Britain evening is free should consider it have experienced for perhaps not Only a pleasure but a duty to Nany weary years the Benevolence attend tonight s meeting. It is a of the modern Hun the sympathy matter High Public importance with suffering of the scientific bar that the Victory loan Campaign Mariaa. How benevolent in their attentions and How sympathetic with suffering especially the weak Youthful the innocent and the de sufferers by the War the Ger Vitan War lords Are is stamped in Deliby upon the memory of human should have an auspicious opening. In wide areas of Europe. But today this plea is simply colossal hypocrisy of the bully the it is the whine tremor of the Coward and the shriek of the Crim fral about to pay the penalty of his crimes United into one weird cry Irlich would be pitiable were it not despicable and would arouse commiseration were not its hypocrisy so during four years commencing Wui the assassination of a people Aad proceeding through every crime military and governmental ingenuity could suggest the world j.

Deliberate bestiality and brutality calculated cruelty cynical indifference to human suffering Devilish ingenuity in the destruction of lives j i property demoniacal cleverness 32 deception and utter contempt fori issues that Divide. Those who _ think that the old Liberal party can be rebuilt upon the basis a common economic Faith might meditate upon the fact that be Canada which is the Organ of the liberals who still regard sir Wilfrid Laurier As their Leader is berating the government for taking Over the Canadian Northern rail Way. The Liberal says be i Canada has always had for it s pro gramme not the nationalization but the control of the railroads by the the advertiser of London which Speaks for the same elements in Ontario holds the same views which Are undoubtedly those entertained by the Leader of the of the Dominion s natural resources position and lowing. His parliamentary Fol notes and comment just at present the bulgarians anxious to make the world Safe for the week s developments reviewed Bulgaria s realization that the de feat of the teutonic Alliance is cer Tain perhaps imminent was the determining Factor in its surrender to the allies. And that surrender proves to the world at Large that Germany can no longer spare men and materials to support its partners in the War. Has come in an Essen paper tells the germane when germ any which has to that they must be Strong. They will Bear the Brunt of the offensives of i need to be in order to take the sort thanksgiving Day is drawing and Law. Human or divine. Close. The surrender of Turkey can have shown themselves plainly and not come too soon Armista Kably to be the attributes of those whom the Teuton Peoples have hailed As heaven sent leaders and whose Behest they have obeyed of thrashing they will get. To the letter. They have thus Asj Samed responsibility for and shared the germans have made another in the guilt of. Their rulers. J lout they have not yet Sot a Chancellor who can utter the indispensable words. Restitution. Separa Tion guarantees. We Are now ready for peace the War the latent hypocrisy of the bully about to be whipped. Belgium preferred Honor to immunity from the horrors of the invasion and the of to nation Serbia with Belgium s site before its eyes suffered the the germans claim they Are super men. And that is just about the kind of person for the Job of explaining things us they Are to the j1 the allies is itself compelled to cast about for assistance. Bulgaria s defection marked the beginning of the end of the teutonic Alliance. Its effects have not lagged. The immediate military Conse Quence of the bulgarian surrender Lias been the abandonment Byr the differences of opinion certain to Miles beyond at and have thrust upon the germans the inescapable Neces sity for Retreat from Western Bel Gium and from some of the districts in Northern France which they have held since Trie first weeks of the War. German military inferiority is about to be demonstrated. With that demonstration will vanish the prestige of the autocratic pan German clique which has victimized the teutonic Peoples unless by cajole by and mis representation they can persuade the i which anything May the German people that their existence armies of.

But the fore taste of defeat and the Mere possibility of the invasion of the father land brings immediate proffers of to the accompaniment of pious so things which reveal the inherent dishonesty and add to the shame of their authors. Consciously or unconsciously the Lew Chancellor has added the finish ing touch to the picture of them selves which the germans have a feted for the world to see and be darned. Peace for the Sake of humanity coming from one who has abetted his Hohenzollern master Iball the Devil tries for which he irresponsible is a phrase redolent of hypocrisy or symbolic Craven ear. There can be no other than sources of inspiration for the plea. Either it is the my Elul prayer of the diplomatic or it. Is the Appeal to senti the Rhenisch Westph Alsehe Gaz Ette suspects that the bulgarians have no further use for Germany. People of penetrating intelligence these germans t h people who wonder whether thy by Sheviki really love peace As much As they say they do have not stopped to reflect that the most peaceful place in the world is a Well filled grave Yard.

The Central empires Are being driven Back upon their own boundaries in the South East. They Are admitting Thair failure to maintain their occupation of the Balkans and must Jettison an essential portion of their scheme of world Dominion. The political consequences of the bulgarian surrender combined with those of the cumulative defeats in France and. Flanders have been hardly less rapid in their appearance than the military. The usual accompaniment of a change of policy in Germany has intervened and there the week s operations have done far More than breakdown the Ger. Man defences in various local Offen Sives and compel retirement. They have shown that the weakness goes deeper that the morale of the Ger Man armies is poor and that their Man Power is approaching exhaustion. Despite the desperation of the resistance and the bitterness of the i is slowly descending upon it. Fighting along the old Hindenburg admits that defeat is imminent. Is a new Chancellor. In Austria Hungary the voices of the oppressed Peoples who have Long Laboured Uncle hesitate to give to the very that in a sentiment for canadians with their own Victory Bond Campaign in sight to Bear in mind. Two Days before Baron Burian launched his late peace drive a pro j the Yoke of German and Magyar domination Are becoming louder and More insistent. Turkey has thrown its influence into the scale for an immediate peace and will doubtless secure it by surrender As soon As it in evident that the allies will not per Mit themselves to be tricked out of the attainment of their declared of postal that peace might be arranged on the terms Laid Down by the aus Trian minister appeared in Lena Tlona Liste Henri Bourassa s weekly newspaper at Montreal. The same pacifist ideas were used by Lena Tiona Liate As by Baron Burian. East Ern newspapers Are commenting on the strange coincidence. The incredible hypocrisy Ali Iii made the Public statements by the German chancellors von former of Allied Progress at has been surprisingly formantes of their kind in history is not so Manifest in Prince Maximil Ian s statement but when he talks about the peace German desire for an which rejects every selfish others violation of the rights i he approaches very near the i Standard of his predecessors. Fatality of the Coward seeking bet Maun hollies m a to Ftp most sickening punishment for his wrong Hert log whichever it May except As it May modify the final Concep Tion by the world of the character of tile prussians it matters Little which answer of the democratic to the plea will be a hesitate and unequivocal. For the Sake humanity they will persist until is Sianis is dethroned find destroyed. For the Sake of humanity generations to come they will fight until is attained or until key Are assured that the teutonic --5.epples Are genuinely repentant Bil that is they unreservedly accept the obligations to make restitution to repair As far As May be the damage wantonly done and to give in manner approved by per jets by a grand peace the desperation of Germany s situation May be gauged not so much by the fact that peace have been made As by the haste with which they have been despatched. The new Chancellor has scarcely had time to instal himself in his officer yet in his first and that an Early official utterance he formulates the Lins the rate other Points rapid. The German High command has thrown its Best troops into the fray because it was Over confident of the strength of the positions and did not contemplate defeat at any rate in time to make proper preparations for Retreat. In these circumstances the e allies May soon find the Opportunity for which marshal Foch has been seek ing. The object of the sustained pressure on the enemy s front has not been solely to regain territory. It has been mainly to Force him to keep moving and thus to afford the allies a Chance to create a Gap in the lines and Roll them up. How dangerous the German situation has become in places is shown in the French gains North of Rheims. There the mans have abandoned Strong positions owing to the danger of having communications suddenly broken Oft by the americans and French in Champagne. Retirement to the line of the Meuse has been imposed upon the enemy by the recent Allied victories. _ Lille Douai Cambrai St. Quentin la Fere and Laon must soon be counted As permanently recovered from the germans. The belgian coast regions Flanders is imposing on them. In Retreat there is always the danger of disaster intensified now by the pre sence behind Foch s army possible by the rapidity of american reinforcement. The German High. Command in assenting the the e launching of the last great peace Effort admits its own inability to save the fatherland from the doom which if it is for the allies to make the fullest use of the admission and to prevent the War lords from evading the retribution which have so richly deserved at the the revolt of their disillusioned country Tho democratic armies.
