Clenienceau (Premier), in the Sen-ate;' 'said ':' 'The Government desired to-honour the splendid soldiers of the Entente, by whose efforts we will be freed iVom the subjugation of barbarism. For half a century peaceful France did not know half a day without, the threat of war. Those days •have been passed in slow suffering. Tlje frightened Germans now understand the sort of men they have to face. The world has witnessed atroci ties of the German soldier and will not forget them. There will be no victory unless the criminals pay fully for their terrible crimes, and an account will be presented and paid after four years of thankless war. The fortunes are changed, and the Kaiser's armies retiring before the free and enlightened people of the world. France is looking for peace, .but one which gives justice to the survivors of an abominable past.
