for Protection Of Commerce

such mail matter as is suspected OF

The commerce protectors are de-
scribed as large and powerful, but ca

boat danger and in anticipation of an
attempted raid off the Canadian coast,
similar to that by the U-53 of Nam
tucket on Oct. 3.
At that time shipping men figured that
there was not an allied warship within
800 miles of the spot that Captain Hans
Rose deliberately selected in which to
operate. The British admiralty, it Is said.
decided to make impossible another such
raid and the fleet Of commerce protec-
tors was the fruition of the plan then
formulated.
The arrival of the disguised warships
was followed almost Immediately with the
announcement of the British premier
Lloyd George, Of the plan for the nation

lie in wait for submarines at strategic
points, but that they have been provided

Russia's Affiliations with
Entente Allies Is Assured
in Statement by N. Pokrovski

London, Dec. 26.-The Russian foreign
minister, NJ. Pokrovski, invited the repre-
sentatives of the press at Petrograd yes
terday to an interview, at which he out
lined his program and his ideas in regard
to the present political situation. Reu-
ters Petrograd correspondent says that
in general this ministerial declaration,
which seems to have been meant to take
the place of the usual speech before Par
lament. consisted of a few clear prop
ositions.
There has been no change in the re-
lations between Russia and her allies.
2-The minister declared with firm as
surance thatsafter the war the military
alliance of France, England and Russia
would be consolidated in close eco
nomic union.
3-War will be continued, according to
this declaration, unti<4a decisive victory
has been won.
NJ. Pokrovski then discussed the three
great questions of the day-the German
peace proposals, President Wilson's note
and the attitude of Greece. Recalling the
recent Duma declarations in regard to
the German peace note, NJ. Pokrovski
passed to the action of President Wilson,
saying Russia appreciated highly the
good will and the lofty. humane motives

London, Dec. ga dispatch to the

that the ceremony will be carried out

THE dress of Empress Zita says the

SWISS DISCLOSURE CAUSES
new INTEREST IN j, s, Note

London, Dec. 26.-Interest in the re-
ceipt of President Wilson's note re-
mains undated. Newspaper discussion
was renewed with new impetus ad-
ministered by the issue Of the Swiss
cote. with its disclosure OF Swiss
American consultation weeks ago, and
by London cable dispatches recording
the discussions, speculations and crit
icisms in America. On the main ques-
ton as to how President Wilson's note
and similar communications should be
treated by the allies opinion remains
as already recorded. There is on the
one hand a reiteration of 1.-The rooted
objection of the allies to inopportune
and ill-advised Intervention by neu-
trails" and on the other appeal for cour-
teous treatment of neutral representa-
tons, it being urged that the allies are
bound to take them into account. for
to do otherwise would be to reduce
themselves to 1.-The level of the ag
gressors who began the war;"
Apart from the main question there
is much discussion as to the genesis.
nature and probable effects of Presi-
dent Wilson's message. Dispatches
from Washington and New York rep
resent puDuC opinion III America as
uniformed and curious on these points
as opinion is here. 1t seems a matter Of
special satisfaction to some editorial
writer's that criticisms of the Presi-
dents phraseology and surprise at the
course he has taken are according to
these dispatches, identical on both
sides of the Atlantic. The Times says:
1T would not be easy to discover in
the recent history of diplomacy state
paper issued by any great power which
has proved so exceedingly difficult of
plain Interpretation. President Wilson's
first duty to his fellow citizens. to the
contestants and to theother neutrals
would seem to be to make his meaning
less obscure. Unless and until he does
so, the allies must put upon 1t what

doing and is clarifying in the success
of her military efforts-in fact, in the
victory Of German imperialism. In my
opinion, II France and ourselves were
to enter into negotiations under exist
ing conditions. with such spirit, we
should be atoms In bondage.
Nothing less than that IL the price
which our enemy would exact for peace
today.
Il cannot tell you how many months
and what sacrifices stand between us
and victory. But I can tell you what
will be the rewards Of victory If we
are true to ourselves. We shall have
asserted the rights Of nations. large or
small. to live their own lives undis-
turbed by the ambitions Of powerful
neighbors. We shall have enacted such
reparation for wrongs done by this war
as will be a warning to aggressors for
all time to come. We shall have laid
the foundations Of that league of ma
tions, beginning with those who have
fought and suffered at our side, which
will deliver Europe and the world from
the terror of war.
The choice today is between an un-
tIiicIy peace WIFI years Ol lear anu d
few months of suffering with lasting
peace. Taking into consideration all the
consequences of our decision, say that
now, as in August. 1914, both nations
are presented with the choice as be-
tween honor and infamy. The choice Is
more sacred now as the cause has been
sealed by the blood of our heroic dead.
We in Britain feel that to make peace
now, to think of peace at any time with
less than full indemnity for the past
and full security for the future would
be to desert our allies and betray the
hopes of freedom throughout the
world.
I'VE hate war. 1t is brutal, the mega
ton of everything for which we stand.
Therefore we must prevent its recur-
renee so far as Is in our power. We
desire to see the democracies of the
world free to progress to their highest
ideals. To accomplish this we must
stand together for the destruction of
militarism. the vindication Of national
right and liberty. the punishment of ma
. tional wrong. Be the nations. large or
small. they must be free"
