$fl5.ooO,O00 to previous debt of $2,7OO,-

ALLIES STILL ASSERT

That Assertion Is Made

New York, Feb. 27-With the in.
creasng frequency British and French
Statesmen are insisting that there is
perfect accord between the members Of
the French English Russian alliance,
while at the same time asserting the
determination Of their own nations TO
see the war through single handed if
necessary.
II is apparent that absolute certain.
ty does not prevail at Paris and Lon.
don regarding the future attitude of
the Russians. The possibility exists
that the Slavs may make separate
peace, thus releasing 100000 Aus
trians and Germans from the eastern
for the western battle front and ro.
lieving the Teutonic food peril
Russia undoubtedly Is suffering
worse under the strain Of war than any
other Of the powers. Among the Slavs
the military humiliation Is intense, not
only because of Field Marshal Won
llindenburg's 3 repeated victories over
their armies but also because Of the
swagger with which they entered the
war aud the grandiosc annexation Of
German Poland by a premature ukasc.
Not only is Germany firmly in posses.
sion Of large part Of Russian Poland,
but Austria has recovered much Cali.
cinn territory and seems destined to
regain still more.
Financially Russia Is near national

obtain relief from their western allies
