BOMB DROPPED BY TjANSDOWNE. Writes Pacifist Letter Strongly Pleading for Revision of War Aims. London, Nov. 29.?Tlie strongest impetus to a renewal of the heated discussions of the rival schools on tie war policy of the Allies was provoked today from a most unexpected quarter by the publication of a long letter from the Marquis of Lownsdowne. strongly pleading for a revision of the Allied war aims and an attempt to secure peace before "tbe prolongation of the war leads to the ruin of the civilized world." The Marquis of Landsdowne is a typical representative of the old Tory party. He was a member of Asquith's ooalition administration and was secretary of foreign affairs in Lord Salisbury's and Mr Balfour's ministries, w* tvpc virprnv of India and Govern or General of Canada. He was the last public man to be suspected of pacifist tendencies. League of Nations. His letter gives formal adhesion to President Wilson's policy of a league of nations and he asked "what would be the value of the blessing of peace to nations too exhausted that they an scarcely stretch forth a hand to grasp them?" Lord Lansdowne contends that au immense stimulus would be given to the peace party in Germany if it were understood: "First, that the annihilation of Germany as a great power was not desired; second, that we do not seek to impose upon the German people a form of government against their choice; third, that except as a legitimate war measure, we do not desire to deny to Germany her place among the great commercial coun\ tries; fourth, that we are prepared after the war, in concert with the other powers, to examine the international problems connected with the freedom of the seas: fifth, that we are prepared to enter into an international pact under which ample opportunities will be afforded for the settlement of international dispute by peaceful means." Unusual Authority. The .Marquis of Lansdowne's long and intimate connection with foreign afairs and diplomacy lends unusual authority to such a pronouncement at the moment of the meeting of the interallied conference at Paris and because of Premier Clemenceau's recent declaration against a league of nations, including Germany and already there are indications of embittered controversy over it. It is autlK tively announced that the government had no previous knowledge of the letter and the strongest supporters of the government in the evening press suggest that the letter is very unwelcome to the government. Under the caption "Lansdowne's Strange Letter," and the sub-head "The Policy of Talking to the Tiger/' The Evening News strongly demurs against Lord Lansdowne's suggestions on the ground that Germany's word cannot be trusted in any matter and that an attempt to argue with her would be a sheer waste of time. On the other hand the Asquith papers hail the letter as one of the most remarkable documents that the war has produced, The Star greeting the letter as the most formidable attack yet made on the Lloyd George "knockout blow policy." No News Means Soldier is All I light. Although the failure to receive letters from men in the service is not pleasant to relatives and friends at home the adage "no news is good news" never was more true than at present. The report of every casualty at home or abroad is immediately wired or cabled to officials at Washington, being relayed from there without loss of time to the emergency address of the soldier or sailor affected. It is also at once released for publication in the newspapers. No news of casualties lias or will be held up. No man in the service has received orders not to write home; he has been ur<*ed, on the contrary, to keep in touch with relatives and friends. The forces in France have at their disrosal post cards giving general information in regard to health and the rereirt of letters and parcels, vvKh may he dispatched without payment oe postage. Care is a'so taken to see that mail intended for soldiers and sailors reaches them promptly. Where the regimental and company designation f a soldier is not known it may be secured by application to The Adjutant General's Office, Washington D. C. In one week 1,674 letters with insufficient addresses were received at this office. On 1,232 the addresses were completed and the? were forwarded, 123 were returnee to senders. ~>S went to the dead-lettei office because senders' addresses wen Bot given, and the balance were hek with the view that the addresses might be completed later.
