Likewise north of the Ailette River and in the Woevre sector, the French | have made successful attacks which resulted in the capture of nearly three hundred prisoners.A somewhat ambitious attack by the ans in the Verdun sector was put down by the French with severe ualties.Between the Americans and the Germans there is a constant exchange of artillery fire, and the Americans continue to carry out patrolling man- | oeuvres toward the enemy entangiements.The Germans evidently are anxions to guage the positions occopied by the Amelicams and also to ascertain the number of men they are employing, for daily their airc:aît are hovering over the lines taking pnotagraphs and making observations.Antiaircraft guns several times have driven off the enemy.Although the increase in the activity slong the entire {cout m France andl Belgium is noticeable, there is no indication as yet whén the Germans will begin their mech heralded general offensive.© A German captured by the British says that at least one big attack is due to begin soms time in March.Meanwhile large concentrations of fresh troops daily are arriving behind the German line and carrying out practices manoeuvres.On the Italian front the Austrians again have endeavored to test the strength of the Italians in the Sette Communi Plateau sector .The German War Office asserts that the Austrians carried out a most successful attack here, but the Italian official communication declares that the Austrian columns were torn to\u2019 pieces by the Italian artillery as they tried to gain the southern slopes of Monte Sasso Rosso and other positions and the offensive completely repulsed.There was a considerable increase in the number of asria) attacks delivered by Entente airmen on German towns in January.In all thirty-one of these raids were made, according to a German official statement.ONTARIO ALSO SHONS SURPLUS PROVINCIAL TREASURER ANNOUNCES ONE, OF $1,751,374.FOOD SAVING SCHEME | EVERY HOUSE IN CITY WILL CARD SIGNING.Toronto, Feb.12\u2014\"We ure probably in the soundest condition of any Province in the world of those en- Ra; in carrying on.this war.\u201d was mare made dy Hon.T.W.McGarry, Provincial Treasurer of Ontario, in tie course of his budget speech, delivered in \u2018the Legislature this afternoon.The treasurer announced a surplus for 1018-17 of $L- 751,374.59 the largest in the history of the Province, as against $1,134,904.74 for 1915-16.He stated that he expected shortly to be able to state that a Inan of $2.- 000,000 had been placed.at » low rate of interest.No mention was made of additional Provincial taxation.Supplementary estimates were placed before the House calling for an expen- ditire of $1.021,780.81.The Premier introduced a bill providing for the extension of the life of the Legislature until nn: year after the corclusion of the war.The food saving pledge card campaign in this city was launched in earnest yesterday morning.The entire city will be combed by the various teams as well as Bergerville different wards of the city are as fol- | lows!

My candidature, while providing the opportunity for our fellow-citizens to .get together in pursuit of a useful and common object, threatened! 10 create serinug divisions amongst us.Under such condi:ions my duiy was alt mapped out.Everyone seemed anxious to give his support to the movement which we wished to inaugurate, only the fear of being deceived by a political truce prevented them from joining ug in- mediately, If 1 had had any hesitation in withdrawing my candidature for tiie mayot alty the amendments made by the , Legislature at its last session to the charter of the City of Quebec, would have sufficed to cause its withdrawal.By these amendments the next Ciy Council is p'acel under sirice tutor | «hip.They are obliged to tax during the next financiai term Mot only to meet the appropristions of the annual budget, but also to pay the deficit of the present fiscal year.The Quebec tax-payer will, therefore, ualoriunate.ly pay for the results of the errors of the present administration.These smendments to the charter could not have been made necessary in ; minds of our legislators execpt by the actions of the Council which has.been administering the city for two years under the direction of Mayor lavi- gueur.The responsibility for the imposition of these additional taxes should, in justice, fall on those who created the state of affairs that necessitated them.Æhese taxes must be paid by the ordinary rate-payers since the power was hot provided that this tax should teach persons who have not been affected up to now, Shoulders already + heavily laden will see thelr burden in- | creased on account of this lack ot pro vision.© Te will easily he understood that | nicipa) administration, 1 sincerely thank the numerous eiti- ns of Quebec who assured me of their support.Once the municipal ! .- T:STIMORY ENDED IN CVC IGOUIRY 'LAWYRRS WILL BEGIN TO PLEAD RITHER THURSDAY OR FRIDAY EVENING.Lemons Whiten and Beautify: the Skin!

As it was impraciicable to test a, effect of the atmosphere.Writing done dy different inks was cxposed to light, the paper being occasionally moistened with a 3 per cent solution ! of hydrogen peroxide, the result being that the handwriting gradually became invisible, in some cases more quickly than in others.The violet ink used for typewriters was less readily adted on, but was quickly bleached by sulphurous acid.If an ink could be- produced pos- i sessing the desirable properties of \"perfect fluidity and, being nondepos- \u2018iting and at the same time incapable of being decciorized by oxidiz- ng or reducing agents, there would ibe good reason to believe that the writing done by@uch an ink would be practically permanent.In the: meantime, when writing is.of an important nature and is desired to endure, some form of cashon ink appears to be the only trustworthy preparation.\u201cOVERWORKED GERMS.\u201d .A progressive school teacher, ae- the Chateau.Lake | Personal # Soclal Mr.Arthue LeMoine has left fou Mositreai.Mr.L.G.Crevier, of Monteral is \u201d stayihg at the Chateau.Mr.A.B.Ruddy, of Toronto, is registered at the Chateau.Miss Juliette Baillargeon reccived at the tea hour on Monday.t Mr.\u2018Win.Knight, of Ament, | N.S., is staying at the Chateau.) i Mrs.Kay has returned home from ' the Hotel Dieu Hospital much improved.Mr.and Mrs.L.V.Lapalne, fl Montreal, are in Lown, guests at the Chateau.Hon.L.A.Taschereau kas left for Montreal where he will spend a few days.Mr.B.E.Leclerc has left for Toronto and New York on a business trip.Mr.and Mrs.H.Globensiy of | Montreal are in the city, guests ut Mr.George Garneau rcturn:d yesterday from Montreal, where he spent a few days.Mr.Eug.Blais, City Treasurer, has resumed his duties at the City Hall after a prolonged illness.Miss Adrienne Bruneau of Kamouraska, is in town the guest of her aunt, Mrs.J.G.Bruneau.The Misses Marguerite and Louisette Gagnon received at the tea- hour in sid of the Laval Hospital.The Misses Germaiue and: Alice LaRue have left for Montreal, where they will spend a couple of weeks.Miss Raymonde Tanguay has left for Montreal, where she will be tie guest of Miss Therese Archambault Mr.and Mrs.Jos.Edouard Per rault, who have been spending a few days in town, have returned to Arthabaska.Mr.Lawrence Stafford, Advocate Ottawa, is spending a few days m town, the guest of his mother-in-law Mrs.C.E.Martel.Miss M.Scott is the guest of | Miss Parrock at \u2018The Lodge\u201d Sher brocke.Ap entertainment was given in her honor un Saturday.Miss Jacqueline Hardy, gave a dance on Sunday at the residence of her parents Mr and Mrs: Alexandre Hardy, Lachevrotiere street.Lieut.Rene Landry, R.C.À.returned to town yesterday from Montreal, where he had gone to meet his father, General Landry, The Misses Cabrielie and Marie Fortier, who spent several days in town the guests of their brothe:, Dr.Massy Fortier, have retqrued to Beauce.Captain Henry Montminy has re turned to town, after spending several months at Whitly Camp, where he had been attached to the 10th.Reserve Battalion.Major Charles Fontaine.M.C., of the 22nd.French-Canadian Battalion arrived in town on Monday,» and is the guest of his mother Mrs.A.B.Fontaine, Mont Carmel Street.# The engagement is announced of Miss Graziella Hardy, daughter of Mr.Leon Hardy, civil employee to Mr.Gustave Cote, son of Mr.Pierre Cote, of the firm of Emond and Cote.Mr.David BR.Hunter, L.R.I.B.A.who has been in charge of the Works Branch of the Military H-spital Commission at Quebec and Edward Sanitorium, has returned to Ottawa.Mr, J.Berniere one of the soliel- Company in Montreal whose services have been loaned by the Company for a couple of months.A pleasant tigge was spent at the residence of Mrs.I'.Dall, un Monday evening, where the staff of A the Fashionable Store of T.p.| Dubuc assembled to honor ane of their most valued members Miss Emily Brady, who leaves shortly \u201cto accept a position with the well- known firm of Fairweather's Ltd, Montreal.In the course of the evening an address was read by Mr.Art.Belanger, manager of the Gent's furnishing department expressing the regret of all at her departure and wishing her every success in her new position.He also; presented her, on behalf of ali her | companions of the fiom, with a wval-: uable wrist watch, as a souvenir of | the many pleasnt years they had spent together.| .Late arrivals at the Chateau\u2014L.G.Crevier, Mr.and Mrs.H.Globensky, E.W.Steiner, H.O.Ball, Mr, and Mrs.L.V, Lapaime R.T.Heneker, J.B.Reid, Montreal; M.| C.Small, Grand Mere; Capt.W.H, | cording to a correspondent of the | Flond, Regina, Sask; A.B.Ruddy, American Agriculturist, asked her | Toronto; J.Dufour, St.Mone, | pups to use individual drinking | Que; K.Suzekl, Vancouver, B.Ccups.Some did so; but an influen- \u201c1 am feeling like a new woman,\u201d | tial trustee heard of the request and !

former Premies H .H.Asquith, commenting on the latest developments of the general situation said thst a aumber of nt and novel facts bad emerged \u2018since the beginning vf tbe year.\u201cWe have had a re-statement of the peace aims in behalf of :his sountry by the Premier\u201d, he said, \u201ca statement in which I entirely con- zur both in the spirit and the letter, and on behalf of the United States by President Wilson.We have had in addition, replies to these state, ments by Czernin and Von Hertling.We had next a resumption of the Brest - Litovsk negotiations which resulted in a iresty bctween the Central Powers and Ukraine.\u201d After referring to the fact that Russia was no longer in the war, ne said: \u201cAnd, finally, we read this morning two remarkable and sharply contrasted declarations by great and responsible persons.Firstly a declaration by the German Emperor.The Emperor's aspiration for friendship with other nations 1s confined in its expression to neighboring nations.That phrase does GENER WATSON WAIES TO MAYOR ACENOWLEDGES CABLEGRAM OF CONGRATULATIONS ON NEW YEAR'S DAY.The following letter from Major- General Sir David Watson, KC.B, was received by His Worship Mayor Lavigueur: To His Worship Mayer Lavigueur, And the Aldermen of Quebec.Your.cablegram of congratulations has just reached me.I was deeply moved by the kind words it contained, and the thought which prompted it.I can assure that the hopes which you express for the conclusion of hostilities and our return to our dear Old Quebec was strongly reechoed by each one of us.But what the Canadian soldier has most at heart is the determination to impose a permanent and durable peace, and to guarantee our homes and our liberties from all future menace.I owe the honor which has been conferred on me chiefly to the indomitable courage, the indefatigabie devotion in the accomplishment of duty and tu the constant alertness of the splendid division which I have the honor of commanding.In this connftion I must mention the names of three Quebec officers: Colonel Edouard de B.Panet, CM.G., D.S.0.chief of my staff; Captain Forsyth Hall, M.C., and Captain Leon not seem to include ourseves at first sight but perhaps it has been al lapse of speech.\u201cWhat is more important for us; to note is that past experience hab; taught us that it might be a great | mistake to assume that what the: Emperor * shid is a condition of peace, is \u2018what the German people and the German Reichstag really think and feel.\u201d \u2018Mr Asquith then referred to President Wilson's address of yesterday and said: \u201cThe President discriminated justly both in regard to the tone and substance between the declara- tioys of the German and Austrian Chancellors.It would sep as though, as President Wilson said, the military party in Germany alone rejected and.would have nothing to do with & peace based upon lines which, in principle at any rate, the whole of the rest of the world is ready to accept.\u201cIt is such a peace only, and à new international order which we velieve it would bring about that would compensate for the sacrifice which justified, that even necessitated the proiongation of the war.\u201cThe peace for which we are fight ng must be a clean and ias:ing peace, resting on foundations of in ternational justice.That is not only our opinion, but the opinion of all our Allies, and we will rigur- otfèly and scrupulously observe those principles in continuing th: war.\u201d ENGLAND I8 DOING HER SHARE The persistent attacks of the Germans and anti-English Irish among us on Great Brita since the begin- ming of the war have also been directed toward making France, Canada, the United States, and every eme else possible dissatisfied witn Great Britain's share in the war.The facts do not sustantiate this charge.Great Britain has 45 million population, in contrast with 3v million for France, 36 milion for Italy, 173 million for Russia, and somewhat more than 100 million in the United States.This 46 million has furnished a far farger proportion of the naval strength and shipping than any pther nation, and has done this from the beginning of the war.This has also necessitated bearing most of the odium attached to the blockade which was for the general benefit of oll the Allies as well as England.From the beginning, also, they have furnished more money than any other nation.In the first two years of the war they did not furnish as many men as either France or Russia, but at esent the British army in France 6 about as large as the French.The British have, besides, an army in Egypt, another az Salonica (as have fiso the French) and another in Mesopotamia.Moreover, the British Isley have furnished as many men in ortion and suffered as great ses as any of their overseas dominions, besides putting \u2018orth an emartordinary industrial effort.\u2014The World's Work.Garn-au, who ail three have conti.buted greatly to the success of our arms.Again thanking you and my fellow citizens of Quebec for your cordial expression of appreciation and your message so full of encouragement.In \u2018presenting my best wishes to yourself and the Aldermen of th: City, 1 beg you to believe in the depth of my esteem.(Signed) D.WATSON, Major-General, Comd.4th Canadian Division.PRISONERS IN HOLLAND Many Britishers and Germans at the Hague.- \u2014 Seven to cigtht thousand British prisoners-of-war | from Germany shortiy are to take up their quarters at The Hague and in the neighborhood, constituting a fresh strain on the sorely-tried housing accomoda- tion of th: city and its environs.like number of German prisoners from Great Britain are to be quartered in other parts of the country and preparations are afoot to provide for them.Both Great Britain and Germany have sent over r:presentatives to cooperate with the Netherlands author- ties in the matter.Special hospital accomodations are being provided far the numerous invalids, as oniy a limited number of cases can be placed in existing civil and military hospitals.The British and Nethertands Red Cross societies are joining efforts in this task.A site has been offered by the city council of the Hagu: in the neighborhood of the British quarters, for the erection of worlfihops, Young Men's Chritian Association huts and the provision of footba#l and cricket grounds.Following the example set in Switzerland.special care is to he devoted to training men for useful vocations.With a view to avoiding competition with native labor, in accordance with rides laid down by the authorities, the employment provided probably will take the form of cone structing movable houses or cabins for use in Belgum after the war, and makng furniture for the same purpose, work that is already occupying many Belgian interned soldiers and refugees.To accustom the German prisoners to regular employment and give them a certain amount of confidence in the future, workshops are to be erected in the Wotfhazen camp.Raw materials are to be brought from Germany, where the finished work wilt be in due course exported in order to avoid competition with Netherlands workmen.According to prevent plans, some of the m:n will be put to work on the land, while students will be given facHities to continue thelr studies at Netherlands univer sities.FIRST USE OF JINGO.Gorge Jacob Holyoake, the apostle of co-operation, was the first to make use of the nickname \u201cJingo\u201d in reference to a wrong ind of patriotism in a letter which he wrote to the Daily News about, the Disraclian chauvinists in 1878.Nobody yet knows for certain where the word came from, or what was its original meaning.Motteux, in his 17th century translation of Rabelais, gave

the case of Bolo Pasha, who is on trial for tres- son, and apparently all the other \u2018affaires\u2019, now under investigation before the French Coutt, had beca concluded this afternoon, and tomorrow's sitting will open with the arguments of the prosecutor.He will ask that the sentence of death be impossd upon Bolo.The trial was resumed today with M.Doyen, an expert accountant again on the stand to refute charges made by Monsignor Bolo, brother of the defendant, that Doyen had dishonored himself by falsifying a portion of his original report on Bolo\u2019s activities.The witness spoke with great reserve and moderation, declaring merely tha he took exception \u201cto the forim in which these criticisms were presented by a man who strangelÿ abuses the moral authority conferred by the cloth he wears.\u201d M.Doyen then reiterated ani explained in detail the portions of his report which the prisoner's broiher had challenged.After M.Doyen had testified, Monsignor Bolo again took the stand and | reiterated bis attacks of yesterday, es- : pecially ok the authenticity of the: telegrams of Count Von Bens:orff, !\u201cormer German Ambassador to the ; United States.duplicates

CONSIDERED, \u2014p\u2014\u2014_p Adelaide, South Australia, Feb.13 In 1913, paper to the value of £138, 940 was imported into South Australia, and boards to the value of £146,807.The question of establishing in this State an industry of paper and paper-making with straw sg a basie is now receiving very careful attention, and at no distant date it seems probable that a mill will be erected.It is estimated that the cost of a complete plant of satisfactory size {or the manu facture of wrapping paper and straw will be approximately £20,000, This plant wil be capable of producing about 25 tons of paper per week.The plant would include steam boiler, power plant, shafting, and so forth, straw cutter, digester, the whole of the paper-making plant, comprising washing engines, refining engine, pump and paper-making machine to produce paper about 100 inclizs wide, with a square cutter to cut the paper into sheets; also all the chemical plant necessary, engineers\u2019 tools, and the necessary belts, felts, and wires, to run the mill for six months.It is estimated that the cost of the chemicals required would not exceed 30s per ton of paper produced.Strawboards, instead of paper, could also be made with the plant if desired.Fog the manufacture of boards and wrapping paper the straw is usually digested whereas for the production of ifigher grade paper, treatment with caustic soda is required.The process is simple aud cheap.On the continent of Europe, the cost of straw at the mill ig £1 10s.per ton, whereas in South Australia it should be possible to obtain a supply at not more than £1 10s.per ton delivered at the mills.South Australia is cntirely dependent upon other countries and states for her supply of both paper and millboard.There are four mills in Victoria, three of which produce millboard, strawboard, and so forth.and one is essentially a paper mill.In New South Wales there are a paper mill and one or two board mills.In Victoria the straw is being delivered at the mil! at Broadford for £1 12s.6dsper ton, but this is regarded as a high price, for peu ally the price is lower.It has been found that of the various kinds of straw, barley straw makes the best paper, being a tougher and having a more opaque fibre, but wheat straw is good.The least valuable is oat straw.For the making of strawboard, however, the oat straw is coneidered the best, as it is not so hard as other straws and does not contain so many knots, and it ccoks better in the digester.It is also easier to deal with in the beaters.Wheat straw is good for strawboard making, while barley straw is not cone sidered so suitable, on account of being harder to work, but it makes the strongest of the straw papers It has been estimated in Victoria that 6,000 tons of straw with about 1000 tons of chemical wood would be sufficient to keep a2 small paper mill going, which could thus turn out between 3,000 and 3500 tons of paper per annum Experience in Victoria shows that straw can be obtained at the mils at the upset price from a radius of about 100 miles.The cost of transport does not make it profitable to farmers in areas further out.It will be seen, therefore, that there are many areas in the State of Victoria which could support a paper miH.No news paper is made in Austrafis for it is generally believed that it would not be possible at present to compete against wood pulp by the use of any other raw material such as straw.If, however, new material were available, or the cost of wood pulp increased considerably, or a larger duty were imposed upon imported news printings, it would an- pear that the commercial utilization of straw would be profitable.In order to reduce the cost of transport, the straw is compressed into bales about 18 inches by 2 feet by 2 feet 9 inches.The pressing and wiring is done in a special machine which can operate upon 20 tons of straw in eight hours.The cost of baling is about 10s.or 139 per ten.A ton of straw will produce two-thirds of a ton of straw puip suit- shle for strawboard.This pulp, besides containing the straw cellulose, containe also some of the other matter derived from straw, which, although useless and objectionable in the case of paper manufacture, Is use- fu! in giving body to strawboard.The fibre which is most used for paper, apart from rhechanical and chemical wood, is esparto.This fibre has special quetities which make it ideal for certain classes of paper, Tt grows wild in Spain, Morocco.Al geria and other countries.and to three or four feet in height.Esparto makes satisfactory paper when used alone, but it is mainly used in conjunction with other fibres A plentiful supply of this grass would be a valusble asset to Australia.although it may be necessary to wait 10 cr 32 years before the first harvest of leaves can be obtained.Amohg the many grasses which offer interesting pros pects in respect of the manufacture of paper is one known as Tolmer\u2019s ram, and the trunk of the grase tree slso gives food paper pulp.Marine fhre would likewise seem to offer ponsibilities end can be HON, FRANK CABREL IN UPPER HOUSE QUEBEC JOURNALIST 1s AD.POINTED TO LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL FOR GULF DIV: SION.At a meeting of the Provincial Catinet yesterday, Mr.Frank Carrel, the president and managing editor of The Quebec Telegraph, was appointed member of the Legisitaive Council for the Gulf Division, to succeed the late Hon.Richard Turner.The nomination of Mr.Carrel is not a surprise to Quebecers, for it was generally known for some time that his selection to fill the vacancy had been decided upon for some time by the Government.The new councillor, whose friends are legion, in this city, as well as throughout the entire country will have the best wishes of the entire community in his new office for which his wide experience of men and affairs so amply qualify him, Hon.Frank Carrel was born Quebec on September 7th, 1870, son of the late James Carrel, founder and proprietor of the Quebec Telegraph.He was educated at the Quebec High School and at Stanstead College, and began his career in journalism with his father.In 1891 at his father's death he became proprietor of the printing establishment.It was not long before his progressive ideals be came evident and in leaps and bounds the business and newspaper which he took over showed the results of his direction.Hon.Mr.Carrel has travelled extensively and has published many volumes of his travels which have heen read with keen interest throughout the country.Amongst his best known books are \u201caCnada West and Farther West,\u201d and \u201cCruise Around the World.\u201d He is a member of the Quebec Garrison Club, of the Quebec Literary and Historical Society, and many sporting organizations.In 1916, Mr.Carrel married Miss | Maud Spiller, of London, Eng., who will share the congratulations which are being showered on her husband.FAMOUS PAINTINGS There Are Three Undisputed Mantognas in This Country.Andres Mantegna, the brillant master of the Paduan schoo!, 1431 1508) wes distinguished among the Italian masters of the renaissance by a plastic style which made his figures on canvas not so much an expression of paint as of carved marble or molded bronze.Of all the painters of his time he was generally regarded by critics as , rounded form ae distinct from outline.Mantegna died in Mantua in poverty, due not to lack of appreciation, but to his own extravagance.The works painted by Mantegna, apart from hig frescoes and the tempera pictures of the \u201cTriump of Caesar,\u201d now hanging in Hampton court are not numerous.Authorities seem to agree that not more than thirty- five of the so-called Mantegnas now extant are to be accepted as au- thentie.In America there are only three undisputed Mantegnas.One is the \u201cAdoration of the Magi,\u201d belonging to the John S.Johneon collection in Philadelphia; another is the \"Madonna and Child\u201d of the Altman collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the third is the \u201cMadonna end Child\u201d of Mrs.Jack Gardner's collection in Boston.EAST INDIAN INFANTRY A captain in

private soldiers are known as \u201csepoys\u201d are the Ghurka regimmis.A Ghurka private is distinguished as a rifleman.In the cavalry a trooper or private is called a \u201csowar\u201d a sergeant is

PEACE - ONE CENT.WHERE THERE 15 NO PEACE LLOYD GEORGE CHALLENGES ANY MEMBER TO POINT OUT ANYTHING IN CZERNIN-HERTLING SPEECHES SHOWING READINESS FOR REASONABLE TERMS.London, Feb.13\u2014 Addressing the House of Commons, Lloyd George said he had read with profound disappointment the replies given to President Wilson and to the declarations of the British Government by Count von Hertling, the: German Chancellor, and Count Czernin, the Austro-Hun- garian Foreign Minister.The Premier added it was perfectly true that as regarded the tone there was a great deal of difference between the two speeches and he wished he could believe there was a difference in substance.Mr.Lloyd George said the Government stood by the considered declar- ajion made at the meetings with the Trades Union representatives earty this year.The Government, the Premier added, did not recede in the least from its war aims as they had been stated.It was no use, he said crying peace when there was no peace.Regarding the Supreme War Council, Mr.Lloyd George said it was impossible to make a statement as to the decisions it reached without giving it- formation to the enemy.Mr.Lloyd George said he would like any member to point out anything in the speeches of Count Czernin or Count von Hertling which could possibly be regarded as proof that the Central Powers were prepared to make peace on terms which could be regarded as just and reason- hael Germany's action regarding Russia, the Premier pointed out, proved that her declaration regarding Belgium that could be regarded as satisfactory he declared, no answer had been given regarding Poland, or France, with her legitimate claims for the restoration of her lost provinces; not a word had been said about the men of the Italian race and tongue now under the Austrian yolée.Until there was some better proof than had been provided in any of the speeches to which he referred that the Central powers were prepared to consider the aims and ideals for which the Allies were fghting, sald Mr.Lloyd George, it would be the nation's regrettable duty to go on and make preparations necessary in order to establish international right.It was true that he stated in Novemher, continued Mr.Lloyd George that it was not intended that the Supreme War Cauncil should have executive funct ions, but since then Russia has gone out oi the war from the East.The situation had become very much more menacing, and the Allies had met at Versailles to encounter the best methods of meeting that menace.The Premier said that if the House of Commons was not satisfied with the conduct of the war, the only way was to change the Governmeint.Field Marshal Haig and General Robertson, he added, were present at the session of the Supreme War Council and approved its decision.The Premier requested the House not to press the Government regarding the arrangements made for countering the coming blow of the Germans.The Premier declared that Germany's violation of her engagement not to remove troops from the Fastern front had to be borne in mind when there was any discussion of terms of peace, because it had a real bearing upon guarantees.The situation had been changed completely by those reinforcements, he asserted.Upon the decisions of the Supreme War Council, the Premier remindea the House, depended millions of gal- iant lives, the honor and safety of the country and the war upon which the future of the world was dependent.If information in this particular were to be given to the enemy, he would prefer that the responsibility be placed upon other shoulders.The change of the military situation brought about by the sending of German troops from the Fast to the West was a factor which must he considered, the Premier said.and it was essential that the whole strength of the Allied army of France, Great Britain, America and Italy should he made available for the point where the blow would come.Arrangements should be made under which the Allies would treat their army as one to meet the danger and menace, wherever it should com>.A scene occurred during the Premier's remarks in which he declined to divulge the decisions of the Supreme War Council.information which the ensmy would pay any money to get.Amidst the cheering.former Premier Asquith rose to protest in the mow strongest terms against the insinuation that he had asked for such information.He only desired to know in what respect the functions of the Council had been permanently enlarged, he said.Mr.Lioÿd George said that he rejoiced in repudiating any personal imputation and that he desired to withdraw anything which seemed to support sush & suggestion.+ NEW VERSION OF THE WAR'S ORIGIN PRINCE LICHNOWSKY, FORMER OERMAN AMBASSADOR SAYS ASSAGSINATION NOT RESPONSIBLE, : An Atlantic Fort, Feb.18-~A aw version cé the origin of the werld war, ascribing respossibility for the outbreak of the conflict not to the assassination of the Austrian heir apparent and his consort but to an attempt by Count BarchtoMd to fosce & revision in Austro-Hungarian inter est of the Balkan settlement embodied in the treaty of Bucharest, is given by Prince Lichnomeky, German Ambassador to London at the outbreak of the war.The German diplomat, in this contribution to the diplomatic history of the war, which appears as a three column article in a recent issue of the Berlin Tageblait received here, does not free his own Government from responsibility, maintaining that Germany's attempt to establish herself as master of the Bosphorus was a contributory cause to the war.Lichnowsky, the born aristoerat.has only words of contempt for the present regime in Russia, which he terms ocMocracy, or the rule of the mob, and says will reduce Russia t.the status of a primitive nature state.without any gut the most rudimentary trade, industry or foreign commerce.Should it continue, Russia, will cease to exist as a world power, with whose policy Germany will have no cause to worry but in the event of Russia taking the form of s federated demoera.tic republic.on American lines, which he considers the most probable outcome.Lichnowsky declared that the question of the new basis for Germany's relations to Russia becomes one of the most pressing problems of Germany's future.He considers the restoration of the Monarchy in Ruesia improbable.He declares, how- cver, that under either a Monarchy or a Democratic Republic, Russia :« scarcely apt to accept the passing of Poland under German domination and he sees in the present German plans for Poland a source of embarrassment and danger for Germany.ORDERLIES TO BE COMBED our London.Emgland\u2014The Army Council, it is understood, has issued instructions that every warrant officer, non-commissioned officer, or

For the devout, there can be no question of failure to attend the special services by which the period is marked or to exercise the small denials thit are imposed by the Chureh but, looked at from a purely material point of view, it is by no means without value in the building up of character to take stock of ones shortcomings, to prectise seif-restraint in this Way.The exigencies of tiie war have little to do with professions of faith but, as one result, we are prub- ably as a nation about to enter on the n:ost literal Lent in our history.There is food shortage and money shortage at home while, sbroad, our hopes of an early peace have again been frustrated.We have boasted nu less than the enemy that the God of Truth was on our side and yet our greatest efforts are still uncrowned with vietory so that it seems opportune to ssk whether we have measured up to the greatness of our cause or the heroism of our soldiers.There are many people who believe that the whole horror of the war has been a sort of Divine visitation upon a world that had lost itself in material things, and that peace will not return untii the majesty of God has agnin been recogrized.If this is so repentance will, like faith, accomplish mor: than this world dreams of : certainly those who have travelled recently in Franee or Britain bear witness | tu & new social spirit of sacrifice, « new quickening | of religion there.As the material influence of the war has hitherto touched us but lightly so also has it been with its spiritual influence but, no matter how dark the hours through which we vet may live, we can at least remember that, Bs the sorrow of Last is followed by tie glory of Faster, so also through faith our present hardships will be crowned by a new and better civil- i:ation which.having discovered its own weakness, bas learnt to lean on God.FORTUNES OF WAR.© The fortunes of war are proverbially upecrtain snd, during the present conflict, the Entente Allies hove enjoyed few of the \u2018\u2019breaks of tiie \u2018game\u2019 so t!.t the wisest course for us, at home, is to steél our honrts against the worst that may happen before the victory is Won, It would be quite plausible to point out that the separate peace concluded between the Central Powers and the bedeviled peasantry of Rusfa creatis no new situation, that it cannot postpone th~ decision.Has not the Eastern Front heen out of play for months?and does not the entry of the listed States into the war more than compensate for this defection?Such reasoning, however plausible, cun ouly (ead to l'aise expectations, to baseless confidence, and tie Anglo-Saxon race has always been strong en-| durh to face the most adverse conditions ns they!
