CONQUEROR AND CONQUERED.
LONDON, June 23. Sir Edward Goschen, in a letter to an English journalist from Switzerland, referring to statements in the Swiss press that Germany has been victorious on land and sea, and is ready to make peace, says that the German Chancellor has not formulated the terms he is prepared to ac= cent, and appears to think that the Entente Powers, having failed to be conqueror, are conquered. The answer is ludicrously simple. The Entente Powers do not accept the view that they are conquered. If by some miracle every Entente soldier were swept out to=morrow, still it would be for the Entente fleets to de= termine whether a single German merchantman would issue from the Heligoland Bight. They could wither ilie whole growth of the German oversea trade at its root. When these things are brought home to the Germans, as they will be, they will perhaps be ready to suggest terms which the Entente Powers can accept.
