THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS..

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT IT,

KING BEGS FOR GOOD WILL

LONDON, October 18.

A national campaign in support of the League of Nations was in- ugurated at a meeting in the Mansion House this afternoon. Mr. Asquith was the principal speaker.

The King wrote emphasising that a strong and enduring League of Nations is essential in order to secure lasting peace, and commending the cause to alloitizens of the Empire. His Majesty added "so that with the help of all other men of good- a buttress and sure defence of peace to the glory of God and the lasting fame of our age and country may be estab Eshed." (cheers).

There was a large and distinguished audience, which rose after the roading of the King's message, and sang the National Anthem.

PREMIER'S MESSAGE.

The Premier wrote appealing to his fellow-countrymen to participate in a great crusade to support international order and goodwill. Mr.. Asquith moved a resolution approving the aims of the League and endorsing the proposal that November 11 be celebrated throughout the country as League of Nations day. He emphasised the point that the success of this great experiment rested not so much with the governments" as with the peoples of the world. There were a multitude of disquieting factors in the international atmosphere and the outspoken and resolute support of the Deoples was necessary to carry the League through its present difficulties.

ASQUITH ON ARMAMENTS.

Mr. Asquith emphasised the importance of Articles Twelve and Sixteen. He said if these were properly recognised and carried out the erime of 1914 would never be repeated. One of the first steps towards the realisation of the benefits of the League must be a drastic reduction of armaments by all the powers, whose preparations still immeasurably exceeded the maximum for national safety.

A PERMANENT AGENCY FOR PEACE.

Lord Robert Cecil emphasised that the League would continually care for the interests of peace all over the world, unlike previous attempts to secure peace, which had operated by fits and starts. The road was full of combustible materials, some already smouldering, which must be removed and replaced by some other material in order to avoid a dangerous con- Aagration.

L

Mr. Clynes said Labour would not find security ty depending entirely en the international working-class movement. The League would be for governments and parliaments what the international movement proposed to do do amongst the rank and file of the people.

THE BOLSHEVIST WAR.

DENIKIN'S SUCCESSES,

Oficial details of Denikin's victory at Veronej reveal that the town was captured on Octber 3 by a volunteer corps under General Shkure. On the following day the Soviet troops counter-attacked but were beaten off with heavy losses and driven into a prepared trap where the enemy force was annihilated with the help of Cossacks, who thereupon swung south-eastwards and attacked the important railway junction at Liski, capturing 9,000 prisoners. On the south-east front five red regimenta were completely defeated at Cherneujar with heavy losses.
