WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON.
Lloyd George, in speech to a vast
audience at Queens Hall, London,
said that if England had not gone into
the war with her whole strength the
Monroe doctrine would have been
treated as a scrap Of paper by Ger
many.
Premier George of Great Britain
says England must stay in the war un-
til victory is complete and that her
national liberty Is so strengthened that
she will never again be challenged.
A set of dazing figures was submit
ted to Secretary of War Baker Of the
United States by French High Com
missioner Tadieu which shows the ire
mendous sacrifice France has made
lures the gamest nation the world has
ever seen.
In no branch of the British army
does personal initiative count more
than in the flying corps. The British
have held the Germans in check by
sheer inherent man-power until at
last it is admitted along all lines the
British birdman is truly the king Of
the air.
The Argentine Republic again is
threatening Germany with a severance
Of diplomatic relations, due to the
disregard Germany is showing Argen-
tine shipping.
Premier Kerensky has returned to
Petrograd and withdrawn his resigna-
ton. All parties have selected him
to lead Russia out of the dark abyss
into which she has fallen due to dis
affection. He has been given plenary
powers, and the utmost confidence is
reposed in him. He will probably
be the Cincinnatus Of Russia-the
Washington of the Slav.

members, except one, resigned, but
later, with the exception of M. Terest-
chenko, the foreign minister, with
drew their designations.
General Erdelli, recently appointed
military governor of Petrograd, is re-
ported to have been assassinated.
The line Of the river Zbrocz at its
confluence with the Dniester, has been
given up at several places by the Rus
SLAMS, but the Russians fought stub
born1y to hold back the Austro-Ger-
mans.
Between the Dniester and the Pruth
the Germans have not halted in their
retreat toward the border.
Bukowina is almost entirely recap
tured by the Teutonic forces. The
Russian seems about to lose an open
sesame to the Black sea, and if they
don't turn and hold the Teutons in
check, the great port, Odessa, may
fall into the hands of the central ar
mics.
German officers captured in the bat
tie of Flanders discuss quite freely
both the military and political situa-
ton in Germany, and admit that Ger
many's man-power loss is a serious
factor in the war.
A resolution for submission to the
states of a prohibition amendment to
the Federal Constitution was adopted
by the senate. 1t now goes to the
house, and there is little doubt of it's
early passage.
Senator Smith of Georgia voted for
the prohibition amendment; Senator
Hardwick voted against it.
The prohibition amendment propos-
ed to the Federal Constitution recites:
'The manufacture, sale or transporta-
ton Of intoxicating liquors within, the
importation thereof into, or the ex-
portation thereof from the United
States and all territory subject to the
Jurisdiction thereof for beverage pur-
poses is hereby prohibited"
Both steel and wooden ships must
be built very quickly. 1--WE are in this
war far more seriously than a vast
majority Of people realize," is the first
public utterance of Admiral Caps
since taking charge oAsthe shipbuild-
ing work for the government.
The United States asks England to
be more strict with her censorship in
so far at least as it concerns American
military movements.
The great heat wave that holds the
country in it's grip has claimed nearly
three hundred victims, and caused hum
