London, May 23rd-Lord Montagu of
Beaulieu, former Vice-ChaiIman of the Joint
Naval and Military Board, in the House IF
Lords to-day moved a resolution complaining
against divided control of the nations air
service. The debate which followed, aud
which was adjourned until tomorrow whoa
Earl Curzon of Kedleston, Lord Privy Seal,
will speak, was chiefly noticeable, because Of
the maiden speech of Lord Northcliffe, who
has been a silent member of the House Of
Lords for a decade. The chief points in
Lord Northcliffe' s speech were the expressed
belief that the new Air Board must develop
into an Air Ministry, that there was need for
encouraging inventors and manufacturers SO
that the Government would be placed in the
way of getting all the required air craft, and
that there should be timely training of au
adequate number of air pilots.

of Commons since his return from the front,
was the first speaker in the general deba'
initia. ed bv the Premier's motion for the
vote of credit. Mr.. Churchill expressed re-
greet that Mr.. Asquith had not review
ed the general strategic situhtion. He sad
it was unreasonable for people to ex-
expect the War to turn suddenly and decI-
sive!T in favour of the Allies. The contend
ing armies were far too evenly matched at
the present time to permit of such a change.
The Allies felt that they were the stronger
and had a preponderance of men, but
against this was the %ceDtral position of their
opponents, the superior unity of their war
direcI ion and the advantage of being able to
retain the initiative. The Allies had larger re.
serves, actual md potential, than their ene-
mics, aud il was in the use which was made
of them that the hope of final victory lay.
The frequency OF the German and Austrian
attacks on all parts of the trout might be IL
sign of their strength, Mr. Churchill said,
but it might also be "a sign of the measure
of their profound anxiety. If the Germans
were beaten decisively they would be beaten
by lack of men, and accordingly the best
use mnst be made of the men now being
called to the British Army. Laying the
greatest stress upon the Importance Of get
ting every mau available into the fighting
line, Colonel Churchill said the Admiralty
had told the Government at the outbreak of
the War that it might safely send all the
regular forces out of the country. Every
thing that had happened since, be added,
had tended to consolidate the position of the
country as regards invasion. It's naval forces
had increased and its defensive arrangements
had been vastly improved. All these consider
atoms, he argued, ought to protect the coun-
try from panicky fears which might prevent
the proper use Of the men now employed in
home defence. He suggested that the young
or men should be sent on active service.
Much had been heard, said Colonel Church
hill, about combing this or that industry.
He would say to the Wan Office physician
Comb Thyself". He contended that all avail
able reservists III the East including Salonica,
Egypt, India, and the French forces in Afri-
CO should be drawn upon. What were the
great armies III Egypt and Salonica doin1?
He said a great mistake he considered was
made every day these forces were left mac
tive when they ought to be employed III dim

OF WORLD
CANNOT STOP THE WAR

That's the cold bIooded financial
view of it. Personally I don't sup
pose there is a banker in the United
States that wouldn't like to see the
war end tomorrow-but the reasons
are not financial. They are humane,
What could we do to stop the
war? Stop lending money? Germany
hasn't borrowed any money and al.
though it is a puzzle to me how she
is financing her fight, she is doing
it somehow. One thing is true, ap,
parently and that is Germany still
has the money with which she began,
On the other hand, the allies still
have their own funds; they've been
fighting on borrowed capital and
would still have their own capital tc
fall back upon if United States loans
were shut Off
1T doesn't seem likely in the least
that a peace move at this time Will
have any result but it is not true ii
my opinion that Wall street has
sought or ever will seek to bring any
influence for or against peace efforts.4

Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON Nov. 2S.-United
States Ambassador Gerard will carry
a vigorous protest from this govern
ment against the deportation Of Bel
gfans into Germany when he leaves
for his Berlin post, December 5.
An outline on this governments at
titude on the question, which has
stirred all Europe, will be given to
Gerard personally by President Will
son.
Since Secretary Lansing requested
the American embassy at Berlin to
inquire. regarding 4Ilo Belgian de-
portatfons. several replies have been
received from American officials In
Germany outlining the German de-
tense Of her action. Obviously, Off
cials admitted today, the decision to
send the protest by Gerard shows
this government is dissatisfied with
those explanations Gerard was to
see the president some time this aft
erncon to get his instructions. These.
as have been previously and exclu-
sively stated In United Press dis
patches, will include a complete OUT
line of this governments attitude re-
garding the submarine questions, and
caution" to the Berlin government
against unbridled revival Of her sub
marine campaign as indicated in re-
cent sinkings.
Colonel E. NJ House, who had
made several visits to belligerent
capitals, is here advising with the
president, Secretary Lansing and
Ambassador Gerard. During his last
visit here, House paid particular at
tention to the systematic develop
ment Of American relief work and
fear has been expressed that this
work in Belgium will be interrupted
If not entirely discontinued, if the
Teuton allies continue the deporta-
ton of Belgians.
1t is understood House feels no
trepidation about recent indications
that Germany may be considering VIC.
lating her pledges regarding subma-
rine warfare. Those who have talked
with him say he feels confident Ger
many intends to carry out her
promises.
Colonel House said today he had
no plans for going to Europe. A year
ago at this time he made a trip and
it has been generally supposed he
would go again when the president
thought the time opportune for sound
ing out belligerent capitals on a pos
sible move for peace.

scribed in Austria's ancient rules for
