Bonar Law Tells Of In
crease in Asking Credit
of So, 500, 100000
Aid Given to Allies
Americas Assistance Already
of Great Benefit, Says
English Chancellor

London, May 9. In moving for vote
Of credit of 81 100000 900 in the House
Of Commons to-day Chancellor Of the
Exchequer Andrew Bonar Law revealed
the alarming feature" that in the week
since the budget was adopted Great
Britain's daily war expenditures had
jumped from the estimated s3l ,375,OO0
to an actual S3725O,OO Of which $1O,-
100000 a day, since April /, had gone to
the empires allies and dominions. In
the early period Of the war the daily
outgo was S24,1OO,O0O. The present vote
would carry the government until
about August !.
The Chancellor also commented on
the entry Of the United States into the
war. He declared that the Germans, in
falling to estimate human nature. had
lost enormously more than they had
gained in the submarine war by adding
"one of the greatest nations in the
world to their enemies" He added
that the American people were not in
clined to do things by halves, and that
the assistance they had already given.
financial and otherwise, had been of the
greatest benefit.

States concluded Bonar Law. al don't
believe in saying anything in praise Of
my colleagues, but | am going to make
an exception. Mr. Balfour, as every
one who has worked with him knows.
has from the beginning Of the war re-
garded himself as soldier whose duty
1t was to undertake any task he was
called upon to fulfil Il was in that
spirit that the Premier asked him with
out a moments hesitation to agree to
undertake the mission. and | venture
10 say no service in his public life has
been greater 20 the state than that rem
dercd by him in connection with this
mission"
Mr.. Law said the assistance which
America already had given in addition
to financial assistance was of the great
est value and would become increasing
ly important as the weeks advanced.
Due to Increased Prices
Reginald McKenna. former Chancel-
Tor Of the Exchequer, referring 10 Mr..
Bonar Laws statement regarding the
expenditure. said this was a little dis
turbing. especially when the House
found the budget estimate had been eX-
ceeded. They must remember, however,
he added. that all estimates had been
lower than the actual expenditure, due
to the great rise in the prices of COM
modities. which could not have been
foreseen.
The national demand for commodities
which the nation considered indispen-
sable. he said, was in excess Of the
worlds supply. He hoped the House
would give the Chancellor its fullest
support.

although they we're not brought out
at the time Of the revolution. II was
only when the council Of workers, IN
conjunction with the soldiers, had
gained complete control over the bu-
reaucratic machine that the Duma
emerged from It's refuge in the Taurida
Palace and stepped forward to reap
the harvest sown by the blood OF the
masses.
Duma Got the Credit
The Provisional Government was
formed from among the Duma members
who only a short while previously had
watched inactively the greatest drama
in the history Of Russia. The Duma
acquired the reputation Of being the
liberator Of the oppressed nation. but,
in spite OF this wrong impression ere
ated abroad. Russia knows that free
dom has come to her, not through the
Duma, hut through the Council Of
Workmen's and Soldiers Deputies. The
latter was established six days before
the Provisional Government, on the eve
Of the revolutionary period that ended
in the rise Of the Lvof Ministry.
In a coalition government, which IS
now likely 20 result a a solution OF the
differences between the present Cabinet
and the extremists of the Council, the
latter will have. If not a predominant

America May Clear
Russian Situation
Declaration for No Annexa-
ton or Indemnity Likely
to Appeal to People

London, May 9-America may prove
the KEY 10 the Russian situation. Pres
ident Wilson's declaration that the
United States entered the war with
no desire for annexation or indemni-
ties is likely to appeal to the Russian
racial temperament, and may solve the
present tangle
The American communication from
the Federation Of Labor will also
doubtless prove Of the greatest as
siStance.
No revolution can be successfully
achieved in a few weeks, especially
when such a great elemental force a
Russia is considered. From the Allies
point Of view it Is a pity the revolu-
ton did not occur year ago.

from Treasury Head

Although the executive council Of
the American Bankers Association
ended its convention at Brlarclif
Manor Yesterday without taking final
action on the proposal that state banks
enter the Federal Reserve System,
every effort is being made to convince
these banks that this action would not
only be TO their own interest. but a pa
triotc duty.
Just before adjournment telegram
was received from Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo asking that the asso-
citation use its influence TO this end.
After assuring the bankers that he
would gladly make use OF their offer OF
assistance and cooperation in floating
the Liberty Loan. the Secretary said:

War Aims.
(New Republic)

If we are to have a unified war morale, we must have unity of war aims and these in their broad princi- pies must be known to the peoples as well as to the Governments The Ger mans refuse to formulate and publish their war aims. This is because they hope in one way or another to split the allied group, to play the ambition of one Power. against that of an other. The position of the Allies is diametrically opposed to that of Ger many. Their hope of making the most out of the war lies in their in divisibility. The formulation and publication of common aims is the best guaranty against the emergence of such conflict of am mbitions' as Ger many hopes to profit from.
 Moreover, war aims in which the whole group of allied nations can con- cur, and which may be published to the world cannot bear self1Shly na<- tiOnalistiC character. In the process of working out an agreement in war aims inordinate national ambitions would inevitably be pared down.. In consequence. the conditions that Ger many would be required to meet, how ever bitter to her governing classes, would not be such as permanently to prejudice the interests of the German people. It is> not in their interest that Germany should remain menace to the people of Europe. What the Allies would agree in demanding from Germany would represent nothing so extreme as to drive the German peo- pie to desperate resistance. An allied program consisting simply of victory. undeflned, is calculated to evoke in Germany the last extreme of resist ance. A program consisting of defiin- ite, reasonable war aims will raise in Germany the question whether furth- CT fighting is worth while, long before the German power of resistance can i be completely broken.

 Germany could not help herself. The Prussian spirit informed all her progress, in trade, in science, in phil osophy. and the Prussian spirit is that of violence. It waR inevitable that it should at some time break through it's respectable restraints and take it's ar- rogant way of blood and fire. It chose the hour when 1t thought the milder manner had served its purpose Noth- ing was made clearer by the propa- ganda conducted in this country than the belief of Potsdam that "kultur" had conquered in America and had paved the way for unhindered vio- lence.
 War has awakened us from our dream. The fascination of German efficiency and German philosophy no longer enthralls us. The peril that we in time, with other nations. might have been wholly "kulturized" is averted. This is one great service that the war has done the world. The Australian soldier realized it, and so felt justified as he fought his last hard battle to the end.

WITH THE CANADIANS.

There is but one issue in the elec- tions which are being held today throughout the Dominion of Canada, the first ballotting since 1911, when the Taft administration in this country furthered the idea of reciprocity. The Borden administration, made up of the Conservatives, wants to continue in power and further the fpoficy which has already been in -vogue in Canada since the beginning of the war. Fhere Is but one way to do this. SO these peo- pie believe, and that is to adopt 8 se- lective service Jaw such as is in effect in the United States. The volunteer ing in Canada has reached the begin ming of the end. The flower of the Dominion has been sent to the battle fields of Europe, and this without compulsion. Canada, If 1t deemed necessary. need not send one soldier to the aid of England and her allies. Yet, having seen the valorous men of the Dominion go away, the Conserve their places all those youthful slack CTS who have remained home and profitcd by the losses of others. To- days Parliament elections should, therefore, serve to show conclusively the temper of the Canadian people in- solar as they are concerned with the war.
