Great Britain which has been under the necessity of building a large army on the foun- dations intended for a small one, has not yet reached her maximum strength. The financial resources to carry on the war to a successful issue are not lacking, and the army would consider peace at the present time nothing short of a crime. "ln man power we certainly have not reached the zenith,” said General Maurice, Director of Military Opera- tions at the War Office, discussing last week the progress of the war and the attitude of the army toward the peace proposals of President Wilson.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland notes have been coming in in such liberal volume that the indications last week were that the subscription books will be closed at a much earlier date in New York than had been in- tended.

It is expected that a considerable amount: of the notes will be placed in sections where it was impossible to sell some of the vious issues. This is part1 arly ‘with regard to St. Leagues“! Britain Takes New Precautions Against German Seafaring Washington interprets an ofl‘lcial Admiralty announcement as follows: The British Government, for military and naval reasons, has barred to mer- chant shipping virtually all that area of the North Sea east of the Dagger Banks, between a point high on the Danish coast and the point where the Dutch coast makes its wide bend eastward. The only waters within this area safe for shipping are the Danish and Dutch territorial waters, that is, a three-mile strip of water fringing their coasts. 'The new “dan- gerous area” is apparently designed to serve as a bulwark against the egress of the German fleet from the Kiel Canal and its various bases on the North Sea coast of Germany, for it is so delimited as to make a large area of water opposite these German bases dangerous to shipping, mer- chant captains being warned not to enter this region except at their risk. , Sir Thomas White has given notice of a borrowing bill to enable the Gov- ernment to raise money for the gen- eral purposes of the Dominion apart from the war during the coming fiscal year. The amount named is one hun- dred millions, or twenty-five millions more than authorized by the borrow- ing bill put through last session. The bill will be put through both Houses before Sir Robert Borden leaves for the London Conference. Canada’s war vote for the coming fiscal year ending March 31, 1918, is to be half a billion dollars, or _'ust double the amount vote at the ast session of Parliament, it was an- nounced on Sunday. Sir Robert Bor- den has given notice of the resolution providing for the amount named to- wards det‘raying the cost of the de- fence and security of Canada and the conduct of naval or military opera- tions in or beyond Canada; promoting nity against war risk, or otherwise. Authority will also be given the Gov- ernment to use any portion of the vote towards financing Imperial Gov- ernment war orders in Canada.

Sir Robert further suggested that the Railway Act consolidation, which was con- sidered by a joint committee of the Commons and Senate in 1914, might be given a second reading, and refer- red to a similar joint committee. Sir Wilfrid promptly acquiesced in the Prime Minister’s proposals. Sir Thomas White explained that the bor- rowing bill would be along the same line as the one introduced last ses- sion, when authority was taken to borrow $75,000,000 for general pur- Sir Robert said that the Govern- ment would ask for civil estimates before adjournment up to twenty-five per cent. of the total, or until the end of June, The war vote, he thought, should be passed in its entirety, and a borrowing bill should also be passed HALF BILLION FOR WAR EXTEND DANGER ZONE 60mm Renewed Verdun Lobert B‘ "k in a tour days' «m mud $3,259,028, 19: 1 Patriotic Funds I emu. 11".
