M. Glemeneeau :gave his answer, indirect but clear, in a

brief speech in the Trench -Senate -on Tuesday. Germany, ,he saki, had bullied France for half-a-century and boasted of her " mailed ,fist " and her " sharp sword." Nowthat-the German, armies were -retreat- ing before the victorious Allies, Germany, terrified at the prospect of having to pay the penalty for her crimes,. tried to persuade the world that a military decision was impossible. That was not what Germany said - when she let -loose the war and triumphed in--her victories. " Therefore -let it be as Germany has willed and as Germany has- done." 'The war must- end by victory, but it would be an Allied viotory, when Germany -would come to see that "no compromise is possible between crime and right."
