Madison Barracks, N. Y.. July 29— In a speech here tonight wefore 1700 members of the officers’ reserve corps, Secretary Robert Lansing, emphasiz- ing the peril of German imperlalism to the United States and the world, declared his belief that the German people would not cast off the yoke of autocracy “until the physical might of the united democracies of the world has destroved forever the evil am- bitions of the military —rulers of Germany.' That, he added, is the only way to restore the peace of the world. “Were every people on earth able to cxpress their will, there would be no wars of aggression,” he said, if there were no wars of aggre: there would be no wars, and lasting peace would come to this earth. The only way that a people can express their will is through democratic insti- tutions. Therefore, when the world is made safe for democracy. when that great principle prevalils, univer sal peace will be an accomplished fact. Contest of Democracy and Autocracy.
