J. Bal- four, the foreign secretary, in speak- ing to the American labor delegation erday. “The Germans’ plan,” continued Mr. Balfour, “is to shatter the Brit- ish army before the American welght can be brought into the scale. The German in- slructed by its masters to show utmost contempt for the American military effort. But the masters do not share that contempt. They are planning campaign, and are sacrificing men with reckless ex- that the Ameri- their blow London, April most pressingly inspired press has been the their whole travagance in order can help may arrive after has been struc; In proposing a toast to the allied cause, Mr. Balfour said: ““The two speeches which we have just listened to would have convinced any doubter, if such exists elsewhere, that the spirit in which the United States of America has thrown itself into this great struggle is a spirit of the sense in which evaporates eloquent and empty formulae, but in which idealism recog- nizes that to bring his ideals to fruition one must make efforts and show those great sacrifices which are now being so surely demonstrated by our fr)and«) and brothers across’ the Atlantic.’ That mission, he proceeded, repre- senting as it did the activities of the United States in so many different spheres and characteristics, had ar- rived at Britain's shores at a moment of interest. It was a moment of spe- cial interest, not chiefly because of the great and anxious struggle now golng on, but because the Allies had revealed to them in plain, unmistak- able characteristics both the political and milltary plans of those who con- trolled the destinies of Germany. ‘““We have been the witnesses dur- ing the last year or year and a haif, he said, “of strange tergiversation on the part of those who wished to de- lude either the German. neutral, or, he, even the allled public with regard to’ German intentions and methods.

All that was not thrust aside, man methods were actually carried out before the eyes of all in the case of Rumania, and in other communities bordering on the east- ern frontier of Germany. In mo- adversity Germany used language, which she had been taught, indeed, by the statesmen of the allied powers and principally by President Wilson, but which she had leurned but imperfoctly and under- stood not at all.

They preach that doctrine and practice that doctrine to show that in the case of Germany it {s successful.” In Teuton Blood.
