"One would think. that after fif- teen months of the world's most ter rible war, statesmen would be able to give a more specific answer to the question and make it clearer to the people for what purpose they are shedding their blood, what goal has been set, or for what prize they are struggling. The defence of the fa- therland, freedom, justice, culture-- all that no longer suffices to-day. These are words which each one can interpret as he likes and it is really high time to speak more intelligently and to the point. "It seems almost as though both parties to the war feared to betray their plans to each other, for it is not only France and England that shroud theit war goal and peace con- ditions in fog. The German Govern- ment is no less reticent, and, still more, whenever expressing itself as to the purpose of the war, confines itself to generalities which may be in place™in firing soldiers with courage before a charge, but which do not serve to disseminate the necessary clarity as to Germany's final inten- tions, either at home or abroad. ses, What Does Germany Want ?

It is not true, either, that the Imperial Chancellor, in presence of Tom, Dick or Harry, named the acquisition of Belgium to the Meuse Line, the an- nexation of Courtland, and thirty bil- lon marks indemnity as peace condi- tions.
