DEFINITIONS OF PRINCIPLE. The Central Powers had again chal- lenged their adversaries to state their objects, and there was no reason why we should not respond with the utmost esadour. Again and again we had laid our whole thought and purpose before the world, making clear our definite terms of settlement. Mr. Lloyd George had spoken with admirable candour and spirit for the people and Government of Great Britain. There is no confusion of counsel among the adversaries of the Central Powers, no uncertainly of principle and no vagueness of detail. Only secrecy, only lack of fearless frank- ness, only failure to make a definite statement of objects lies with the Cen tral Powers. Issues of life and death hang upon these definitions. No states- man who had the least conception of (12) The Turkish portions of the pre- sent Ottoman Empire should be assured responsibility ought for a moment to secure sovereignty, but other nations continue, for one moment, this tragical and appalling pouring out of blood and treasure unless he was utterly sure that the objects of vital sacrifice are part

In his weekly review of the war, Mr. Baker states that advices seemingly con- firm the idea that the German Higher Command contemplates a big offensive on the Western Front and will strain every fibre to attain success. He recalls gİY teen great battles in Flanders in which and says the French and British armies can be relied upon to withstand the shock. The French success has turned the scales against the Austro-Germans on the Italian Front and the invaders are now confronted with treinendous trans port difficulties. Referring to Falestine, he says it is believed that a large num her of fresh Turks, under German supervision, have been withdrawn from Mesopotamia and the Caucasus and are being rushed to Palestine for an attempt. to recover lost prestige, and that the Germans will afford the Turke whatever assistance is possible in an effort to re- take Jerusalem,
