four times as much ground This
meant not only ultimate victory: it
meant victory is going to be won
at less loss, and our chances are
growing as our equipment Is improv-
ing, and the Germans know it. Thas
is the explanation of the despair
which has driven them to black pi-
racy on the high sea-"
War Not Yet Over
Dealing with the effort of the gov
ernment to make, the country self
supporting the premier said that as
a result of the guarantees to the
farmer and the farm laborer a million
fresh acres of land had been brought
under : cultivation. which was equal
to producing two million tons of food.
Il do not say that the war is GO
ing to continue through 191S," Mr..
Lloyd George went on. but we must
take no chances. We have taken far
too many. If the German knew that
by holding out until the end of 1918
he could win, he would hold out, but
II he knows that the longer he holds
out the worse 1t will be for him, peace
will come much earlier"
Referring to ireland, the premier
said: I'VE must convert ireland from
a suspicious, surly, dangerous neigh
Dor to cheerful. loyal comrade. Set
tlement of the Irish question is essen
tial for the peace of the world and
esentias to a speedy victory in the
war. l appeal to the patriotism of
all men to sink everything for the
one purpose of getting this question
on the way"

NEW EXPLOSIVE BEING USED
Rochambolite, Introduced by French
on Western Front, Has Terrible
Effect on Enemy.

Rochambolite is new and terrible
explosive that has recently been intro
duced on the western front by the
French and employed in the defense Of
Verdun, says the Argonaut. The ex-
plosive, when tested in action at Yer
dun, was found to possess most ter
rible and demoralizing effect upon the
Germans.
The explosive Is powder which,
upon Ignition, changes into molten
metal and very large volume of gas
In an infinitely small space of time.
This sudden change In volume and
the terrific heat which is generated
cause an immense pressure on the
walls Of the vessel that contains II,
shattering the walls and hurling the
molten metal and wall fragments in
all directions, spreading death and de-
structiOn In their path.
The effect Of this molten metal on
the Germans can hardly be Imagined.
Pieces of metal upon striking them i'm.
mediately burn their way deep into
the flesh, even to the bone, causing
intense pain and suffering to the VIC
tim. So deadly and SO demoralizing
have the French found this explosive
to be that they are now utilizing 1t on
the entire front.

REFUSES PEACE TERMS
HoLLWEG DECLINES TO BREAK
SILENCE DESPITE DEMANDS
FROM BOTH SIDES.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Petrograd, May 17.-It became
known here that Gen. Alexis Brussil-
off. commander-in-chief of the Russian
armies on the northwestern front, and
Gen. Gurko, the commander on the
Russian western front, have asked to
be relieved of their commands.
The Workmen's and Soldiers Coun-
Gil issued another appeal to the army
to fight vigorously against the enemy.
declaring Germany and her imperial
free Russia and reduce her people to
slavery. The appeal warned against
fraternizing with enemy soldiers.
Berlin.-ln one of the most vigorous
and plain-spoken speeches he has yet
made before the Reichstag since the
outbreak of the war, the German
chancellor bluntly refused to enter
into discussion of Germany's peace
aims as demanded in interpretations
by the Conservatives and Socialists.
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg asserted
that these called for the governments
specific peace program, the announce
ment of which would at the present
time not only be premature, but which
it would be difficult to formulate and
also of no practical service to the ma
tion in the present situation.
While appreciating the passionate
desire of all classes to know the gov
ernment's views, the chancellor plain
ly declared that he would not permit
himself to be swayed by pressure from
any source, and that he was not under
the spell of any party or clique.
Ledebour, declared in the Reichstag
that it was impossible for Germany to
win a war of subjugation, and ex-
pressed the conviction that a revolu-
ton must happen in Germany as 1t
has happened in Russia.
I'VE shall propose a constitutional
committee" he said ito take prepara-
tory steps in the direction of intro
ducing a Republic in Germany.
THE chancellor doubtless desires
annexations both in the East and
West. With the exception Of extrava-
CANT visionaries nobody believes that
Germany can win war of subjuga-
ton. The Russian Socialists have
made an offer which opens up the
possibility Of peace. This is what the
chancellor forgets.
1T is true that a separate peace
with Russia cannot be achieved, but
the Russian government can convert
the entente, and in this direction we
ought to assist it,
