Mr. Bonar Law said that from the viewpoint o" staying power in the war, once the equilibrium was estab- lished, every week meant imptrove- ment in favor of the Allies and in- creased their ability to bring Ameri- can resources to play an important part in the war, Looking at what he said he believed to be the facts in the situation he bad no doubt what- ever that if the allies held together they would be able to secure the re- sults they set out to achieve when the war began. Unless peace and se- curity for the future were obtgined and the German people were taught that war did not pay, peace, he said, would be defeat for the Allies, 7.8. READY FOR LONG WAR.

Every Week Means Improvement In Favor of the Allies and Increases Their Ability to Utilize American Resources. Cupar, Scotland, Thursday, March 11. There are two keys to the world war position, sald former Premier Herbert H. Asquith in an address to his constituents here. These keys are the command of the seas and of the western front. Both, he said, after all vicissitudes, still remain in the hands of the allies. "While i « Impossible to avert our eyes from the tragedy unfolding in Russia and the formidable dang- ers that tragedy has revealed," he said, "these dangers do not give us apprehension. There are two im- portant factors in the situation, First Russia, as an effective military fac- tor, has been wiped of the slate; second, the German procedure in the so-called negotiations with Russia and the light they have thrown upon the minds and methods of Germany's present rulers. There rarely has 'been a more instructive contrast be- tween pretention and intention." Referring to the speech of Imper- fal Chancellor von Hertling, Mr, As- quith said: "The very moment he was making his address, his subordinates were writing terms, not of ice, but of capitulation, as harsh and humiliat- ing as could be found in the annals of history. Districts onthe Black Sea and in the Caucasus were to be handed back to share with Armenia the horrors and desolation of Turk- ish rule. Could any one doubt after that the fate of Belgium if Germany was ever able to dictate to the west- ern powers after the pattern set at Brest- Litovsk?

Organize to Overthrow Bolshevik. London, March 11.-There is an organized movement of wide scope within Russia to ®hrow of the Bol- shevik rule and repudiate the peace the Lenine Governmént negotiated with the central powers, according to advices from Russian sources through Copenhagen. A decision to this ef- fect is said to have been reached at a recent conference in Moscow, news of which was suppressed by the Bol- shevik news agency, and a formid« able army supportad by the Cossacks is now being organized in the Don re- gion.
