Making war is its national industry and might is its right. Mar- shal Foch paid a tribute to Marshal Jof- fre, whose inspiration, he declared, brought to France the victory of the Marne.

Amid cries of hear, hear Sir Danie! continued, ‘“Who are w: go- ing to fight at no distant date? Is it America, or is it Russia?’ Mr. Winson Churchill intervened and stated that Great Britan had enormous obligations in Constantinople, Ireland Mesopotamia, Palestine and Egvpt.

That did not mean war, the minister as- serted, or that Great Britain was on the verge of another explosion. Paris, May 19th. - A warning that France must make preparations for fu- tdre wars was uttered by Marshal Foch, who presided at the annual meeting of the Polytechnic school for army engi- neers today.

Which of us, he asked, dares believe that Germany is renouncing war on the morrow after her rout. Germany, inspired by sheer ambition, tok up arms in 1864, 1866, 1870 and 1914, on the plea of historic necessity. Germany’s neighbours, = whether they wish to or not, will be forced to keep up armies and maintain strong frontiers, because, quite apart from the generous intentions No. 125. of Mnd lies sixty miles north of the ¢ity of Vitebsk, on the Dvina river, and urder the Polish Kings it was a flourishing trade emporium.
