UN DISCURSO DE
LORD CURSOR.

Lord Curzon, en- nombre de la oposi-
cion, ha respondido al 1ltimo discurso
de lord Kitchener, defniendo SUI acti-
tud y la de sus correligionarios de Ia
slguiente manera:
'Prlmero. No queremos decir nj ha
GER NADIA que pueda entorpecer al Co.
blerno en- la ejecuci6n de la empresa
que gravita sobre el.
Segundo. NADIA diremos nj haremos
que pueda de alguna manera impedir
que Sc consiga la sola conclusion de la
guerra, compatible con ell honor nacio-
nal; y
Tercero. NADIA diremos nj haremos
que pueda avisar al enemigo serle
1til.
Esta oposici6n, que no tiene ninguna
responsabilidad en- Ell Poder ejecutivo,
y que NADIA sabe que no este al alcance
de cualquiera, prestara al Gobierno su
apoyo mas completo.' -
Lord Curzon, despu6s de seflalar que
los Ejercitos alemanes han fracasado
en- sus principales prop6sitos y que los
aliados han realizado algunos progre-
$685. sigui6 diciendo:
Isl 6sta es la situaci6n, en- NADIA pue-
de justificar algtn abatimiento, me-
nos ailn algin abandono en- nuestros
preparatlvos y en- ell con- junto de nues-
tras resoluciones. Nunca, por ell con-
trario, hemos necesitado de todos nues-
tros aientos y de toda nuestra previ
sion Nunca nos ha hecho falta reunir
con mayor ahinco nuestras fuerzas ma
wales y marchar q nuestro fin con ma
yor obstinaci6n.
jEstamos decididos a este esfuerzo?
Desde ell punto de vista moral Y ma
terlal, la respuesta no es dudosa: esta-
mos decididos Jamas ell heroismo de
nuestros soldados ha sido tan grande
como ahora, nj la habilidad de nuestros
generates tan acknowledgements proba-
da. Nunca la potencia militar de la
Gran Bretana Sc revel6 tan efcaz.
Pero jpodemos dar la misma respues-
ia en- cuanto q nuestros Electives?
La guerra actual es la guerra del n1-
nero. Del campo de operaciones solo
piden una cosa: hombres. Hombres
para hacer ell relevo de las tropas en- las
trincheras, para llenar los huecos, para
permitir avanzar a nuestrs generates,
para mostrar a nuestros aliados que
damos ell maximo de esfuerzos.
Creo que ell mejor servicio que nos
puede prestar ahora el War Off
ce es ell de equipar a aquellos de nues-
tros reclutas que estan va bastante ms
tru1dos y enviarlos al frente en- ell ma
yor ntumero possible.
Nuestros seis Ej6rcitos en- prepara-
ci6n representaran, incluso con las tro-
pas coloniales, cerca de un million de
hombres. Haremos Ell Ej1rcito de cam
pana. Y tendremos, para la defensa de
nuestro territorio, la Infanter1a y la
Cabaler1a territoriales, y las tropas de
fortaleza, con un total de 100000 hom-
bres. Creo que nuestro Ej6rcito terri
rial no debe tener mas que un jefe,
ovitanto ell traslado de los oiciales pa
q destinarlos al continente.
ST nuestras previsiones son justas, no
9on solo dos millones los que necesita-
a lord Kitchener, sino tres. Esta en-
camino de encontrarlos? 5Puedo yo
preguntarle cuantos reclutas Sc han
pordido va y 81 espera poden~ llenar los
huecos que Sc produzcan? Yo creo ur-
gente informar al pals sobre la extern
sion del sacrifcio que Sc lie pide.'

LONDON. April 22.--The Board of
Trade has taken vigorous steps to pre-
vent abandonment in England by
steamship companies Of American
muletccrs and horse tenders who are
coming over in large numbers with

During the early months Of the war
hundreds of Americans who crossed on
horse boats were left stranded In Eng

vanced various dcbatablc reasons for
not returning them to America. Amer
lean ConsulGcncral Skinner laid the
facts before tho Board of Trade a

to refer all stranded horse and mule
tenders to the board. with the result
that all such Americans are being

tracts and other mooted questions.
