The Russian and Rumanian troops who have been in retreat before the TeutOnic allies in Do- brudja, seemingly now are at a point where they either must make n stand or cross the Danube into southwest Bessarabfa or into Mol david in the region of GaIatz.
 The latest communication from Berlin says that in Dobrudja, the Russians have retreated past their newly fortified positions in the north and that the Teutonic allies are now advancing toward the lower Danube.
 Aside from the announcement of the capture of more than 1000 Rus sians and Rumanians and the taking of numerous vehicles loaded with pro- no mention is made by Ber- in of the advance in Moldavia.

 Mr Asquith said his one great desire was to place at the disposal of the government whatever experience he possessed.
 While it was a relief to be free from the almost unsupportable bur den. continued MT. Asquith, it also was a matter of regret to leave unfinished the task for which he had labored so long. He did not assume the role of apologist for the late government and he denied that/there had been slack ness on it's part
 THE GENERAL SITUATION
 The former prime minister also spoke of the general situation, saying:
 %The prospects regarding hnance and transport are serious. but not so serious as to justify misgivings or alarm. But the difficulties will not be solved, as some seem to think, who mistake hustle for business and ve- hemence for strength, for short cuts or a series of coups de main.
 .I agree with MT. Lloyd-George about Rumania It has been a bad busl- ness and it is impossible to appor- tion the degree of responsibility therefor But it is a good Illustration of the urgent necessity of more intl- mate cooperation"

MUST LOOK ELSEWHERE

eve must look elsewhere for the origin of these proposals. They are born of military and economic neces- sity. We all yearn for peace, but it must be an honorable. not shame faced, peace There must be no patched up, precarious compromise. It must be a peace that achieves the purpose Tor which we entered the war. Such a peace we would gladly accept. Any thing short of it we are bound to re- pudiate by every obligation of honor and, above all. by the debt we owe those who have given their lives to the cause.
