Secretary of State Draws Piti
less Indictment on Ger
many and Treachery
WmhlnKloii, June 11.—The last
| shreds of the one-time dominant
| theory of the Administration here in
j Washington thnt the United States is
' not at war with the German people
have at last been swept away,
j It Is admitted now that much has
gone on in Germany which the world
ought to have perceived, but did not.
There no longer is any doubt that
the Prussian aim of world dominion
has "dazzled, with Its anticipated j
glories and by its promise of a j
boasted racial superiority, the Ger- I
man millions who were to be the in- j
struments of achievement."
It is recognized now that the war ,
must go on, not alone until the "ar- '
rogant and brutal Prussians are ;
humbled," not alone until the Kaiser '
and his military chieftains despair of '
their ambitions, but ""until the Ger
man people realize that their inso
lent lords are not touched by divine
fire and do not have at thetr com
mand the powers of heaven."
It would seem that at last the Ad
ministration has recognized that the
German people are fighting because
they believe implicitly In the teach
ings of the Prussians that the Ger
man people are a super-race, destined
ito be rulers of the universe. These
doctrines and hopes are dominant j
over the German people and will not '•
die until the leaders they blindly but
faithfully follow have been crushed
deep in irretrievable defeat.
To Secretary of State Lansing was
delegated the authority to speak
yesterday for the President and the
Administration in a manner so frank
and convincing that there should be
no further illusions about the war.
It was. indeed, a notable address the
Secretary of State delivered at Union
College. Schenectady, and the pro
nouncement was followed here in
; Washington as if it nad emanated
i from the White House itself.
Uermauy fltlltskly Indicted
Mr. Lansing drew a pitiless indict
rtient of Germany, laying bare some
new secrets of the despicable in
trigue which centered in the German
embassy in Washington during all
the days which preceded our entry '
into the war. Re admitted that for
[ a time the United States was duped
:by the military clique in Berlin,
i because dishonesty of this sort
j seemed to us inconceivable in these
days of internal honor and Christian
| civilization." But the United States
will never be caught again, the head
of the State Department added, In I
such a net of duplicity as was
spread over the world by the Ber
' lin government.
"\\ e have learned our lesson and
it has cost us dear," he added. "We
will never have to learn it again."
The bitterness with which Seere
j tary Lansing denounced German
| ■ kultur," the finality with which he
declared that relations with such
governments as havs controlled Ger
many in the last 150 years would be
impossible in the future, created a
lasting impression here, not only
among Government Officials, but
upon the Allied diplomats as well.
The latter saw In the Lansing ad
dress the final and irrevocable dedi
cation of America to a war which
shall not end until the German war
lords have been destroyed and the
whole spirit of Prussianism driven
from the world.
The speech also represented the
beginning of a definite program of
arousing the American people to a
full realization of what Prussianism
has meant to the world fh the past
and what it threatens to-day. Com
ing as it does, at a time when there
has appeared to be a softening of
the "knock-out" policy of Great
Britain, the Secretary of State's ad
dress should rally the Allies anew
to the idea that there can be no
negotiated peace with a Germany
which, as it exists to-day, is an out
cast among the nations and can nev
er be trusted again.

the limit of their advance, however,
and the French immediately attack

line passing through Belloy, south of
St. Maur, south of Marqueglise and
Vahdellcourt. The village of Mery,
west of Belloy, was retaken by the
French on Monday night.
This part of the battle front, how
ever, is apparently not the most
menacing to the French. It Is fur

to be making their most telling
gains. Here, along the right bank of

the hills above the Important town
