LATE NEWS

THE REAL OBJECTIVE i NOT CALAIS, BUT CONSTANTINOPLE GERMANS HAVE HAD THE WRONG IDEA. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) (Receive October 12, 2 p.m.) LONDON, 11th October. The German newspapers, officially inspired, are raising a new cry that the real objective of Germany is not Calais but Constantinople. With one voice they proclaim that the capture of Belgrade is one of the greatest successes of the_ war. The Berliner Tageblatt says: "The public have been overlong accustomed to the wrong idea that the war will be decided at Calais. We now find that Britain is more vulnerable in the Balkans. Military Powers like Germany, Austria, Turkey, and Bulgaria are not going to be bullied into obedience by England and her American servants because England is temporarily mistress of the seas." CAN THE DARDANELLES FIGHT GO ON? The Globe, in an outspoken article, advocates an immediate change in the Gallipoli operations in order to put an overwhelming force into Macedonia and make Servia's position impregnable. To continue the half-hearted attack on Gallipoli, while seniing an inadequate force to Macedonia, is plainly suicidal. If we leave* Servia to battle alone while Sir lan Hamilton pushes on on Gallipoli with all speed, Germany may be able 'to link up her armies with Turkey. We will then risk the loss of India, and permit a fatal wedge to be driven between Britain and Australia and New Zealand. ONCE GERMAN ! M. Radoslavoff, in bidding farewell to the Allies' representatives, was much upset, and tried to excuse his conduct by alleging that three thousand German officers had accepted Bulgarian citizenship and ■ therefore were no longer German. General yon der Goltz's son, who is an attache at Sofia, quarrelled with M. Radoslavoff because the latter asked that the Germans should first attack Servia. Yon der Goltz threatened M. Radoslavoff with his fist. THE SERVIAN RETREAT TO POSITIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS. (Received October 12, 2 p.m.) LONDON, 11th October. An. Athens telegram states that the Servians have, retreated to their second line, in the mountains, where the Germans' heavy artillery :'• of little service. AMERICA'S DUTY T O PRESERVE THE FOUNDATIONS OF PEACE REAL NEUTRALITY MUST BE MAINTAINED. (Received October 12, 2.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON, 11th October. President Wilson, addressing The Daughters of the American Revolution, said that the United States must keep out of the European war, not to avoid trouble, but to preserve the foundations upon which future peace must be built. America must preserve real neutrality. American citizens should make it plain whether their love of their adopted country came before their sympathies for foreign countries. All Americans ought to Tally to the standard of America. America had promised the world to pursue a course founded on justice, and she must also preserve the cause of humanity.
