BERLIN CRITIC DEPLORES
ENGLAND ENLISTS ALLIES
ZURICH, Aug. 1«.—The military
critic of the Munlcher Neuste Nach
richten regrets that British diplo
macy has been more clever and suc
cessful than the German. He says it
has been constantly making new al
lies until now there are 1,350,000.000
and declares that Great Britain’s
greatest gain in this respect is Amer
ica.
•’Economically, politically and fin
ancially an Anglo-Saxon circle has
row been formed and threatens to
rule the world unless we opose a cen
tral European and Asiatic combina
tion against it, he says. The military
importance of America is equally
great. She requires only time to be
come effective.”
WASHINGTON KILLS
ITS QUOTA IN ARMY
WASHINGTON, D. C\, Aug. 16.—
Iowa and Washington have filled
their quotas of war volunteers for the
regular army. A total of 1,921 men
was recruited yesterday throughout
the country, bringing the number of
war volunteers recruiting since April
1 up to 175,087 against the 183,898
needed to bring the army to full war
strength.
GERMANY’S SLOGAN TO BE
IMPORT LITTLE, EXPORT ALL
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 16.—Accord
ing to the Berliner Mittag Zeitung,
the finance minister yesterday declar
ered in the Wurtemberg chamber of
deputies that Germany's watchword
after war must be "export much and
import little.”
The minister added, the newspap
er says, that Germany already had
expended 94,000,000,000 marks on
the war and that the interest on this
sum plus war pensions, etc., would
be about 7,000.000,000 marks year
ly. It was extremely difficult, the fi
nance minister said, to form a pic
ture of the economic effect on the
German empire in raising this sum
in audition to the five billion marks
needed yearly before the war.

BRITAIN ASSAILED
BY GERMAN PAPER
BERLIN, Aug. 16.—The North
German Gazette sees in British inter
est in the fulfillment of French war
aims an indication of a precarious
condition of the entente allied cause.
It says:
"A notable indication of the pre
carious condition of the entente al
lies is found in England’s sturdy
championing of the French lust for
Alsace-Lorraine and English interest
in fhe fulfillment of the French wish.
"A perusal of the text of Balfour’s
speech, as it has come to hand, would
seems to indicate that this interest is
only valid, if, as he assumes, the war
will end favorable for England. So
long as the entente prospered and
French war fervor required no
stimulant, England appeared wholly
unconcerned regarding French war
aims. Now that France is revealing
signs of exhaustion, England is en
deavoring to save this ally hy revivi
fying its avarice. In keeping with her
unscrupulous politics, England hopes
to continue to benefit from dismem
bered continental Europe. Such poli
tics, however, will suffer shipwreck
on the rocks of the free German em
pire, which did not provoke the war,
in contrast to the entente nations
fighting for conquest and enslave
ment.”
