IT'S EASY TO GET | that Belgium was only a pretext to REVIEWING WAR Empties Vials of Wrath on Eng- land for Trade Ambitions Berlin, July 29.—Reviewing the | political events of the second year of the war, the German forelgn office has given to The Associated Press, the following statement: “Unlike the military situation it 1s not easy to review briefly the devel- opments in the confused paths of po- litical events, but an attempt will be made in the following to trace the leading ideas connected with the po- litical problems of the second year of the war. “The world war was caused by Russia’s aggressive policy, supported by France’s policy of revenge, but it | was rendered possible solely by the fact that England subordinated to her economic antagonism to Ger- many all her other interests. “Whereas Germany’s enemies re- gard it quite in order that they de- mand territorial aggrandizements at the cost of others—like Russia, who wants Constantinople and Galicla, like France, who desires Alsace-Lor- raine and the left bank of the Rhine, and like Italy who seeks Austran territory—they grudge Germany even that she strive to develop herself economically in peaceable competi- tion and they pronounce this an un- pardonable sin against the world's order of things. “They are unwilling that Germany should become great and strong be- cause the other powers want to be the economic masters of the world. Territorial and economical aggran- dizement has united Germany’s foes | in a war of destruction against us. “The second war year whose end is now approaching has brought these true aims of our - opponents into clearer light. In Russia this is open- ly admitted, they having an under- | standing with FEngland, and want Constantinople as their war goal. In France there is a war-mad cry for Alsace-Lorraine. England Drops Mask. “In England, too, the mask has | been dropped. It is openly admitted justify England’s participation in the war, which was undertaken only from self-interest. ‘Germany must be destroyed. Ger- many shall nevermore raise her head economically nor militarily. Tn this way is the goal of our enemy more clearely enunciated during the second year of the war. “It is equally clear that the talk of a struggle of democracy against militarism is only a catch-word used | by our enemies to create sentiment and to cloak outwardly their real purpose of destruction. Assuredly there can be no talk of a strugsgle for the maintenance of democrati principles when one side sets out to destroy the enemy completely, in- cluding the civilian population. “And is England really the land of democracy she pretends to be? Has not the entire development of | Bngland during theywar shown that | England is drawing further than ever away from democracy? “Moreover, if England had really resorted to war in defense of the rights of the smaller nations, as she fondly announces to the world, she could without damage to her position have answered otherwise than witn the threat of destroying Germany. “Chancellor Von Bethmann-Holl- weg’s remarks made in the course of ! the year outlined German aims with | sufficient clearness. England, there- | fore, wants a war destruction, a war | to the knife, which, according to the plans of our enemies, shall continue even after the cannon is silenced; for their former talk about permanent peace that they wished to establish has been drowned under the shout | that Germany's enemies are raising over the Paris economic conference. | “It is not enough that the world | must be shaken by a protracted, | bloody war. The world must not even thereafter enjoy a settled peace if the will of the entente powers prevails, for the decisions of the economic con- ference do not signify an economic peace, but a permanent economic warfare which never will permit the world to come to rest upon the basis of peaceful competition. “This shows at the same time that the great words of the entente powers | about fighting for the rights of smal- | ler nations and international order | are empty sounds, for when Ger- many's enemies seek to control neu- | tral trade they simply ignore the | rights of other Eountries and base not | on the principle of right but upon pure might precisely what they al- leged they want to abolish. Allies Disturbers of the Peace. “The second vear of the war, there- fore, shows that our enemies are bre- cisely what they all along wrongly reproached Germany with being, namely, disturbers of the peace—Rus- sla through her unbridled passion for extending her borders; England through being uncontrollable for dom- inating alone the economic world, and | France through her passion for re- | venge. | Established1886 Globe Clothing House See What You Can Do With $6, $8 or With $12 or $15 in Our Half Yearly Sale | of Clothing Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothes are Included in This Sale From July 28th to August 19th SHIRT SALE $3.50 and $4.00 Shirts for $2.50 $2.50 and $3.00 Shirts for $1.85 $2.00 Shirts for $1.35 $1.50 Shirts for $1.15 $1.00 Shirts for 85¢ 75¢ Shirts for 65¢ convention and other measures of | KEEPING TO ARMY STANDARDS.
