London, July 6.—The coming Ger- man blow will not be less dangerous cause of the time employed in pre- paring for it, but it is comforting to know the men responsible for the command of the Allied armies are confident of the result, Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, de- clared last night at a dinner to the delegates of the parliamentary mencial conference, G impossible future,” he said, “but fateful hour of this war and if in another thre enemies have won no str then their campaign will and it will, T hope, be a ure.” The have the most fect military machine that ever ex- isted, but the chancellor said he he- lieved that when the history of the war v written it would be seen Germany had made greater military mistakes than any other power. He instanced the submarine warfare which had brought the United States into tho war. He doubted whether Germany would get as much out of Russia as sho ecxpected. Wherever the German soldler had planted his foot the name of German was loathed for generations U. S. Has Saved The chancellor spoke American help and alluded to the wonderful organization in sending American troops across the Atlantic. The Germans, he said, could now weigh the advantages and disadvan- tages of their submarine campaign through the mistake. The chancellor said he trembled to think what would have been the po tion of the Allies after Russia went out of the war but for the help of the United States. He had not de- spaired of Russia who was like a pa- tient in a delivlum. Tt was impos- sible from hour to hour to tell what the future might bring there. The population of the enemy pow- ers was 154,000,000, that of the En- tente Alliance 1,200,000,000. That in itself was a league of nations with a military force that was terrible but the economic force also was strong. Of one thing, he said, there was no doubt, just as the Allies were standing together now so would they stand when the war was over to pair the ravages of the war. chancellor concluded: No Hope for Peace. “1 see no immediate hope of peace There is no road to il, I fear, except the rugged road through victory. It will be fatal to the world and fatal to the Germans themselves if they are not taught the jesson that pay.” to I is foresee the is upon us months our tegic object, have failed decisive fail- Germans per- Allics. gratefully of The war KILLED IN CIRCU WRECK.
