London, March 19.—The Supreme
War Council of the allies issued a
statement last night condemning Ger-
man political crimes against the Rus-
sian and Rumanian peoples and refus-
ing to acknowledge Germany’s peace
treaties with them and also declaring:
“We are fighting and mean to con-
tinue fighting, in order to finish once
and for all with this policy of plunder,
and establish in its place the peaceful
resign of organized justice."
The council’s statement, which is
issued through the foreign office, says:
“The prime ministers and foreign
ministers of the entente assembled in
London feel it to be their bounden
duty to take note of the political
crimes which under the name of a
German peace have been committed
againstt he Russian people. Russia
was unarmed. Forgetting that for
four years Germany had been fighting
against the independence of nations
and the rights of mankind, the Rus-
sian government in a mood of singu-
lar credulity expected to obtain by-
persuasion that ‘democratic peace
which it had failed to obtain by war.
“The results were that the interme-
diate armistice had not expired before
the German command, though pledged'
not to alter the disposition Of its
troops, transferred them en masse to
the western front and so weak did
Russia find herself that she dared to
raise no protest against this flagrant
violation of Germany’s plighted work.
“What followed was of like charac-
ter when ‘the German peace’ was
translated into action. It was found
to involve the invasion of Russian ter-
ritory, the destruction or capture of
all Russia’s means of defense, and
the organization of Russian lands for
Germany’s profits, a proceeding which
did not differ from ‘annexation’ be-
cause the word itself was carefully
avoided."
The protest concludes: “Peace is
loudly advertised, but under the dis-
guise of verbal professions lurk the
brutal realities of war and the untem-
pered rule of a lawless force. Peace
treaties such as these we do not and
can not acknowledge. Our own ends
are very different. We are fighting
and mean to continue fighting in or
der to finish once for all with this pol-
icy of plunder and to establish in its
place the peaceful reign of organized
civilization.
“As incidents of this, long war un
roll themselves before our eyes more
and more clearly do we perceive that
the battles of freedom are everywhere
interdependent; that no separate enu-
meration of them is needed and that
in every case the single,' but all-suf-
