Though the Germans, by underground means, are trying to
create dissension among the Allies, there is little prospect that they
will meet with any success. The weakening or defection of one of
the great nations arrayed against the central powers would, they
think, force the Allies to negotiate for peace—a peace which would
‘leave matters much as they stood before the war broke out, with
Germany free to reconstruct her militarist machinery, in readiness
for the day when she might, under more favorable auspices, make
her great attempt against Britain. For there ean be no doubt that
the ultimate object of Germany is the subjugation of England and a
breaking -up of the British Empire, which stands as the great
obstacle to the fulfilment of the Prussian dream of world-domina-
tion. To us it is unthinkable that our enemies should succeed, and
we are well assured that no effort and no sacrifice will be considered
too great by the British people to ensure freedom from the rule of
the Hun. .

The King’s strong words at the prorogation of parliament are
seconded by Hon. David Lloyd George, who said a few days ago:

."T think. that for us the war is only beginning, but I am
absolutely confident of victory because, although we all have made
mistakes in the past, England and her allies are now taking
counsel together and will be stronger because they are united. By
next spring we shall have for the first. time more munitions than
the enemy, and our superiority in men is unquestioned. Besides
this, Germany’s financial position is growing worse daily.”

The minister of munitions admitted that the | -Entente Allies
were all caught unprepared aid had to organize armies. England,
he said, had to create one. Asked if he thought the war, would end
ina deadlock, the minister said such a thing must not’ be thought
of fora moment, mi

““It:may take a long time,”’ he said, “but. we must erack the nut
. before we get at the kernel. Wearing down the outside by
‘attrition .1s too long and wouldn’t be a smashing, pulverizing
victory. Pressure on the enemy is becoming | greater, They: are
io spreading their frontiers temporarily, but are. .becoming ivehker in
: a military sense,and the process of strangulation will squeeze them
" more and more, : -

“We woke up. slowly to it,’? said: the thunitions minister, “but
L am now perfectly satisfied with what we are doing. | “We have
