A UNIT"--BORDEN Close Co-operation by Dominion | * Promised by Premier N Borden, general arch Sir Robert of Canada, told in a terd, but with ob- vious and expressed satisfaction, of his Washington, its promise for the future of closer co-ordination be- tween this country and Canada, and explained certain Canadian war meas- res in detail, notably prohibition and the Canadian draft. Sir Robert was interviewed at the ifotel Belmont, Madison avenue and Forty-second street, where he stopped en route from Washington to Ottawa. He arrived at the Belmont late Thurs- day evening and leaves for Montreal tonight. His interview was prefaced with an expression of regret at the re- accorded William J. Bryan when the latter attempted to speak in favar of prohibition at a Toronto mass meeting and was hooted down by Can- adian soldiers. “I observed with deepest regret,” said Sir Robert in answer to a ques- tion, *“the occurrence in Toronto, but 1 was very glad to note it was due to a very small portion of the audience and doubtless the incident arose out of misunderstanding.” Sir Robert passed quite naturally from this to the present status of pro- hibition in the separate provinces and the dominion as a whole, and then to a matter of even greater interest to the general public—his purpose in journeying to Washington, there ta onfer with President Wilson and the president’s more important war aids, the object being North America’s united in the war. He said: “The purpose of my visit to Wash- ington with the Britis Ar government the T States the utilization the resources the United and Canada in the most effective way for the common purpose of winning the war, the relation of conditions af- fecting production, the most effective employment of natural resources for essential industries and other mat- ters of a kindred nature. “The reception accorded the acting minister of finance, the Hon. A. K. Maclane, and mysclf was most cor- dial.

The minister was speaking in the the anniver- sary of the protest made by repre- sentatives of the national assembly of Alsace-Lorrain a Germany. “I will establish by documents,” said DL Pichon, “that the day the Germans deliberately rendered inevit- able the most frightful of wars they tried to dishonor us by the most cowardly complicity in the ambush into which they drew Furope. I will establish it in the revelation of a document that the German chancel- lor after having drawn up preserved carefully, and you will see why, in the most profound mystery of the most secret archives. “We have known only recently of its gputhenticity, and it defies any soIt of attempt to disprove it. It bears the signature of Bethmann- Hollwez (German Imperial chancel- lor at the outbreak of the war) and the date July 81, 1914. On that day Von Schoen (German ambassador to France) was charged by a telegram from his chancellor to notify us of a state of danger of war with Russia and to ask us to remain neutral, giv- ing us eighteen hours in which to re- reply. “What was unknown until today was that the telegram of the German chancellor containing these tions terminated with these words: “‘If the French government de- clares it will remain neutral your ex- cellency will be good enough to de- clare that we must as a guarantee of its neutrality require the handing over of the fortresses of Toul and Verdun; that we will occupy them, and will restore them after the end of the war with Russia. A reply to this last question must reach here before Saturday afternoon 4 o'cloc Proof Germany Sought War. “That,”” said M. Pinchon, how Germany wanted peace at the mom ent when she declared war. That i how sincere she was in pretending that we obliged her to take up arms for her defence. That is the pri she intended to make us pay for our baseness if we had had the infamy to repudiate our signature as Prus- sia repudiated hers by tearing up the treaty that guaranteed the neutrality of Belgium. “Our mortal enemy in tho war of 1871. Von Moltke, declared on the morrow of the treaty of Frankfort,” said Foreign Minister Pichon on tak ing up the question of Alsace-Lor raine, “that it would Tequire no less than fifty years to wean the heart of her lost provinces from France.” M. Pichon contrasted the German acceptance then that the provinces were in reality French with the re- jterated pretensions of German states- men since, especially the asertions of former Chancellor Bethman-Hollweg and the present Chancellor, Count von Hertling, that most of the prov- inces were always German. Botter Prepared For Next War. The Foreign Minister made public for the first time the full text of a letter written by William T., the grandfather of the present German Emperor, to Empress Eugenie. The letter is dated Versailles, October 26, 1870. After the immense sacrifices for her defense,” read M. Pichon, “Ger- many desires to be assured that the next war will find her better prepared to repel the aggression upon which we can count as soon as France have repaired her forces and allies. This is the melancholy con- sideration alone, and not a desire to augment my country, whose territory is sufficlently great, that obliges mo to insist upon the cession of terr tories that has no other object than to throw back to the starting point the French armies that in the futur will come to attack us.” After reading this Pichon asked: “Can one better destroy the lezend von Hertling tries to establish that the annexation of A -Lorraine had for its origin in the minds of its authors the wish to return many German provinces of she had heen dispossessed by usurpation ? The foreign minister pointed out hat Prince von Bismark in subse { quent conversations with the Marqu | de Babriac, then French charge | d’Affaires at Berlin, confirmed what | his sovereign had written in his own [hand. M. Pichon then cited the | words of Frederick IL when enferins Silesia: “I take possession first. T | shall always find dependents to prove my right,” and added: “But the rights of the Germar o our provinces have never becn proved by any pedant because it cannot be done.” M. time orbonne upon ainst annexation to instruc- s « ained passage M. whicn French Pichon recalled that from the of Louis XIV.
