MR. BONAR LAW'S SPEECH.
London, March 8. Mr. Bonse Law, continuing his speech in the House of Commons in introducing ● Vote of Credit, mid :--
As regards the enemy gun-power, there was no esuse for serious alarm, because the power of artillery was limited, nos merely by the number of guns, but by the supply of ammunition. The use of guns depended upon the air-service, in which we had an overwhelming superiority, which would greatly neutralise any possible superiority in guns. Our superiority in the air was due to the superiority of our men.
Hare Mr. Bonar Law broke down, thinking of his sirman "son, who was killed, The House cheered sympathetically, end Mr. Bonar Law quickly recovered, He proceeded to say that the whole of our forces in France had been most energetic and most skillful in strengthening our defences, and the result was wonderful. For example, during the first two months of 1918 we had used more barbed wire than during the whole of 1917. The German offensive ought to be coming, but he was a little sceptical concerning it. But if the attempt was made and it failed, there could be nothing decisire in the war. A member of the Government who had Visited France had told him that while Headquarters expect. ed an attack, the commanders of the units which were in daily

so confident were they of their superiority. That did not mean that if the attack were made there would be, no losses of territory. Any inde shoosing to concentrale sufficiently upon a narrow front could carry it. That might happen if the attack occurred, but if it did happen he felt confident that its true significance would be realised by the British people as well as by the British soldiers, whose one desire would be to recover the lost ground.
After expressing his disappointment at the resuita of our abipbuilding, Mr. Boner Law laid strese upon the vital quality of shipbuilding and the destruction of submarines. From the point of view of staying power he saked the House to remember that once equilibrium was establisbed every week would mean an improvement in our favour, and our inoressed ability to bring resources from America would play a part in the war, Looking at what he believed were the facts, he did not believe there was any doubt that if the Allies held together they would secure the results they had set out to achieve when the war began. (Cheers) We are fighting for peace, and there would be no security for the future if the war ended before that object was attained. Before the German people have learned that war does not pay, before it was no longer possible for a single man or group of men to plunge the world into misery, peace would be a defeat for us. All the motionloos talk about what Count Hertling meant sas simply ridiculous. We must judge the intentions of the rulers of Germany by their sole, not words.. What is the use of talking about Count, Hertling socepting President Wilson's "principles" when the Germans have taken Livonia, Fathonia and Courland, and are demanding. that: Boumania should gire ap not only the Dobradja, other parts of Boumanis, as) a part of her peace terms? It was true the country waa war-weary, and wished to see the end of the terrible conflict, but to say that we are faltering in cur purpose showed a complete ignorance of the feeling of the people. We and never engaged in war in modern times in which the pacifiat feeling was not far more pronounced and more dreaded than now. At bottom British people knew what defest in this war would mean in the history of the Empire, and world.
Mr. Bonar Law concluded by repeating that if it were possible to have an expression of the feeling of the country on the plain issue, “Are you prepared that the war should proceed until the results we set out to achieve are attained or not?" the result would Astonish the enemies of the Allies. (Cheere.)
Mr. McKenna, following Mr. Bonar Law, hoped that in view of the policy of a single front, and the Italian numerical superiority on the Austrian Frons, soms Italian troops would be transferred to parts of Belgium where the Allise were not superior to the enemy. Continuing, he invited attention to the British war-map, which was conclusive evidence that Great Brimin "was undefeatable. The enemy did not hold an inch of British territory, whereas Germany' had lost every Colony. We occupied Mesopotamia and Palestine, and our war-map was as indicative of success as Germany claimed thairs to be.
THE MASSACRE of armeNIANS,
London, March 8. Reports which have been received from the Armenian Informa tion Bureau indioste that the handing over of Trans-Osuoasis to the Turks will lead to further massacres of Armenians, and, perhaps, to their final extermination, The Turkish troops, which are, advanc- ing to re-occupy Armenia, are destroying all the remaining Armenian "population. Every Armenian maleman, boy and babe-at Sam«. san have been put to the sword. Similar atrocities are being per- petrated at every town and village.
