The resolution also set forth that the al- lies should accept the lussian pro- posal that the coming allied confer- ence on war aims should comprise representatives of the people and not solely spokesmen of the governments. German Ponsomby, liberals, and Philip Snow- den, socialist. After a debate which consumed the whole of the evening segsion, the House defeated the resolution by a vote of 148 to 19. The announcement of the vote was received with some cheers and much laughter. The smallness of the numbers in the House when the division was taken is an indication of the lack of interest shown by Parliament in any hope of !a useful peace movement at the pres- ent juncture. The conviction was in an important statement by Herbert H. Asquith, former premter, that noth- ing was to be hoped from the present temper of the German Reichstag and people. Andrew Bonar Law, govern- | ment leader in the House, expressed complete confidence in victory for the allies, although he said they were staggering under the blow of the Rus- sian crisis. Believes Pacifists Increasing. Mr. MacDonald admitted that his resolution expressed the opinion of only a small minority, hut he con- tended that this minority ever growing. Stockholm, he said, had borne its fruit. The allled confer- ences would bear more, and the in- was The resolution was moved by James Ramesay MaeDonald, soclalist and la- or member for Leicester. It was sup- ported by Charles P. Trevelyan, Hast- jsgs B. Lees-Smith, and Arthur A. ' ternational conference would bear still more fruit. Such a conference would find out that the time had come for an active effort for peace, and it would find a peace that would not be disturbed by preparations for war. Charles P. Trevelyan, who second- ed the resolution, agreed in condemn- ing the uncertainty in the speech of the German chancelor, Dr. Michaelis, and sald that all were agreed that peace awaited the restoration of Bel- gium and France, without any eco- nomic or other conditions. He doubt- ed whether there could be peace un- til all the governments clearly and expressly repudiated the idea of con- quest or annexations. While it might be the duty of the government to re- ply to the German chancellor, it was the duty of the house of commons to reply to the Reichstag resolution. Dr. Michaelis’ speech was made on that resolution, and the fact that he did not speak against it or try to dissuade the Relchstag from passing 1c ought not to be overlooked. Former Premier Asquith expressed the opinion that the previous speak- ers attached mode importance to the Reichstag resolution than it really deserved. They seemed to have for- gotten the circumstances under which it was passed. After an obscure, struggle in Berlin, in which for a time it seemed as if the advocates of a relatively moderate policy would have their way, the military chiefs appeared on the scene and secured the dismissal of the imperia]l chan- cellor, in whom the emperor only a few days before had expreséed his unbounded and undiminished confi- dence. Peace, said Mr. Asquith, had be- come the supreme interest of man- kind, but subject to an all-important conditon—that it should be a peace which did not defeat the purpose for which the great nations entered and had continued the war and that it did not turn to waste the immeasure- able loss and suffering which they had shared and were sharing. He welcomed the news that a con- ference would be held early in the autumn on the invitation of the Rus- sion government. Nothing but good could come of a plain restatement of the Allies’ aims in a good cause. Two new faces of the present yeaer, first, that Russia had ceased forever to be autocratic, and, second, the appear- ance, with all her moral and material forces, of the United States In the struggle, had a direct and practical bearing upon the opinion of the world as to the sincerity of the Allies’ aims. Free People in Great Majority. “They mean,” continued the former premier, “that the allied nations now include an overwhelming majority of the free peoples of the world. The Allies are fighting for nothing but freedom and nothing short of freedom. That is the policy of this great and unprecedented aggregation of free peaples. “Earnestly as we desire peace, no | best hope of peace, he peace is worth having which would restore, under some thin disguise, the precarious status quo ante bellum and would leave countries like Bel- gium, Serbia, and Greece at the mercy of dynastic intrigue or- under the menace of military coercion. It would be premature and futile to grapple in detail with the geographical problems eventually to be salved. ‘“The principle clearly agreed to by every one of the Allies is that in any rearrangement made the governing principle ought to be the interests and the wishes of the populations affected. But is that principle ac- ceptable to the Central powers? Js Germany prepared not only to evacu- ate Belgium, but to make reparation for the colossal mischief and damage which accompanied her devastating occupation and the practical en- slavement of a large portton of the Belgian people? Is she prepared not. only to do that, but to restore to Bel-. gium, not a pretense of, but absalute independencee ? Mr. Asquith thought that the Ger- man people were the greatest obstacle 1o peace, but said that was a matter for the German people themselves. So far as the Allles were concerned the said, was a frank and open statement, both by way of avowal and disavowal of ob- jects for which they were fighting, and as a means to that end he welcomed the fullest use of all opportunities for an interchange of views among Tepresentatives of the great demo- $5.00 now $3.75 $3.50 and $4 now $2.75 $2.50 and $3 now $1.85 will please you $2.00 $1.50 $1.25 $1.00 85¢ 75¢ now $1.35 now $1.15 now HALF-YEARLY .

It could not be too clearly stated that this was a matter for the peoples, rather than the governments. “Once that is realized by the de- mocracies of the world,” continued the former premier, “we shall be within measurable sight of an honor- able and lasting peace. Meanwhile we shall not be helping the advent of peace if we give the impression that there is any faltering in our de- termination or doubt in our ability to carry on the burden. We look up with clear conscience until our ends are achieved.” George James Wardle, chairman of the Labor Party in the House, speak- ing in behalf of his party, frankly agreed with Mr. Asquith’s remarks and said that he was unable to sup- port the resolution. The Reichstag did not represent the German people, and any negotiations could only be with the German government: There- fore an international socialist con- ference would be useless. - He saw no sign of repentence on the part of the German socialist majority, nor any desire to come to such an understand- ing as the movers of the resolution suggested. . Reichstag Resolution Empty. Andrew Bonar Law, the govern- ment leader, also opposing the reso- lutlon, said that if the views of the movers of the resolution wete right, then this country had been guilty of the greatest crime ever committed in the history of the world. He con- tended that it was useless to base anything upon the resolution passed by the Reichstag, which did not have the smallest power. Germany never had stated her aims because she knew she would be found out directly she put her peace terms down in black gnd white. The speech of Bonar Law dealt largely with the Russian crisis, He said that all the nations engaged were staggering under the blow, but that the resources of the Allies were sufficient to make it absolutely cer- tain that, unless their hearts failed them, they must secure the results for which they had entered the war. The struggle had reached a point where it was a question of staying power, and in this matter he had abJ solute confidence in the Allies. He was equally certain that if anything could delay peace it would be any sign of faltering. Philip Snowden, soclalist, said the debate disclosed that the British gov- ernment, more than any other bel- ligerent, was standing in the way of an early settlement. He protested against more blood being shed to re- store Alsace-Lorraine to France. TELL PEOPLE WHY THEY ARE FIGHTING Sen. Borah Believes U. §. Should Make Statement of Policy ‘Washington, July 27.—Senator Borah of Idaho told the senate yes- terday that the time had come for the announcement of a more definite .policy for.America’s part in the war. Emphasizing the seriously of the situation, he sald the people should be told for what they are expected to fight and dle for; that the war -had become an American war and Americang did not enthuse because their position was nebulous. “Never at a time in this struggle,” declared Senator Borah, “‘has the out- look been as serious as it is now. Russia, to all appearances, is out of the conflict because of internal dis- turbances. What does that mean to the people of the United States? Could a more serious message come over the wires and affect the lives of milllons of our boys than the fact that Russia is breaking down? We ‘should pray for the success of Ke- ‘rensky as never before. “Millions of American boys are go- ing to find graves upon Europeld’l battlefields. No more serious situa- tion could confront us than con- front the Allies now. And will the senate stop and parley over money going into the improvement of creeks? ‘“The news about the submarine warfare is distinctly favorable to the Teutons. Great Britain is losing 24 ships a 'week, and the neutrals a others of the Allied group are 1051&:l from 50 to 65 per cent. of what Great Britain is losing. At the present rate at the end of twelve months the rest of the world will be 12,000,000 tons behind in this submarine contest. Peace Talk Not Timely. ‘“How are we going to win this war with the conditons that confront ths? This is not an appropriate time to talk peace. Does anybody suppbse that Germany would talk peace with us except on her own terms? We must give the boys at the front, and their people at home, an American* issue. We must Geal with the man in the street, in the workshop and on the farm. w o “Out yonder in the open, where every move toward war means toll and suffering, where fathers and hus-_ bands and ‘brothers and sons are to: be offered up on the altar, that altar must be our country. You must give, them an American issue for which to die. 3 “We have our allies, and with, them a common purpose; but Am ica is still America, with her own in. dividuality, with her separate distinct and noble institution, the intellectual and moral concep- tlons of her people. She is still a sun and not a satellite. € “If this war does not involve our. own ‘institutions, if the security and:' dignity of our own democracy is not involved, if we are not fighting Xig war for the defense of our own rights, and for the protection of our owp rights and for the protection of our own citizens, then this declaration of war was a bold and impudent be- trayal of the rights of the whole nation, and its continuance for 8. single hour is a conspiracy against every homie in the land.” v Victory Must Be Gained. “I understand from the senator's’ remarks that he is of the opinion that any attempt to arrive at such & basis of peace as he is now advo- cating would he perfectly futile by cause of the victorious position Gi many is in,” said Senator Poindext i “If that is true, does it not follbw: necessarily that the only peace basis | upon which the United States can proceed is to change that victorious' position of Germany? The only way+ in which that can be brought about is by victory; so that constitutes the issue.” 3 “That is what I am talking about,’” Mr. Borah answered. ‘The senator 1§ greatly in error if he supposed Mhat I have advocated peace upon any basis. I have simply advooated that the American people be advised s to the issue in this war from the Ameri* can standpoint, and the issues which will have to be determined from: the Amereican standpoint before it 18 closed. “This is an American war, but 4pat is not the manner in which it has been heretofore presented to the American people,”” declared Mr. Borah. “We have been supposed to be, fighting for the rehabilitation of cer- taln naticns in Europe, for the redis- tribution of European territory, for the estublishment of dJdemocracy in Europe, and for this and that_ 1in Europe.” Mr. Poindexteer: “For humanity. “And for humanity in Eurppe and so forth,” continued Mr. Borah, '‘but the peril which confronts the Ameri- can people, immediate and imminent, has not been presented to the Ameri- can people, and the senator’s corres- pondence, if it is like mine, will dis- close that the American people do not understand it. I have not tajin the position at all that the United States ought not to be in this war and that there were manifest reasons for our immediate interest why we should be in the war—not at all.”
