The revolution in Ireland can
only be successful if supported from
Germany, otherwise England will be
able to suppress it, even though it be
only after hard struggles. Therefore
help is necessary. This should consist,
primarily, of aerial attacks in Eng
land and a diversion of the fleet SIM

Then, if possible, landing of troops,
arms, and ammunition in Ireland. and
possibly some officers from Zeppelins.

London, Dec. lift this is the

has stepped out and America is only
prepared to come in. Every hour that
passes will see the gap formed by the
retirement of the Russians filed by the
valiant sons of the great republic. Ger

This was the concluding statement
Of Premier David Lloyd George In an

The premier also said:
1T is because | am firmly convinced

Germany's victories were emilia

them, however.
The deadly grip of the British navy
was having its effect, and the valor
of the troops was making an impress
sion which would tell in the end.

premier admonished. There are men

CONQUEST AND KULTUR

Let it be the task then of our
diplomacy so to shuttle the cards
that we may be attacked by
France, for then there would be
reasonable prospect that Russia
for a time would remain neu-
trail. We must not hope
to bring about this attack by
waiting passively. Neither
France nor Russia nor England
need to attack in order to furth-
er their interests. So long as
we shrink from attack, they can
force US to submit to their will
by diplomacy, as the upshot Of
the Moroccan negotiation shows.
If we wish to bring about an
attack by our opponents we
must initiate an active policy,
which, without attacking
France, will so prejudice her in
terests or those of England that
both those states would feel
themselves compelled to attack
US. Opportunities for such pro-
cedure are offered both In At
RIGA and in Europe.-Bernhardi,

follows: Government candidates elect

from, 67; deferred, 4.

parliamentary election held through
out Canada, says:

majority
Returns from Toronto, Hamilton,
London and other districts In which
the war Is strongly supported, indi-
cate that the government received
overwhelming support.
CONSUMPTION the Issue.
The election, while nominally for the
control of parliament, was really ref
erendum on CONSUMPTION.
The unionists, under the leadership
Of Sir Robert Borden, passed a con-
scription act but could not enforce it
in the face of an opposing minority,
known as the anticonscription liber-
ais and nationalists, under the leader
ship of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Messrs.
Bourasa and Lavergne.
On the decision today rested the
fate Of the union government and, in
effect, the further participation Of
Canada in the war. If returned to
power, the unionists stand pledged to
enforce Selective service and thereby
expand the ranks of the Canadians
overseas.
Army Law Attacked.
Against CONSUMPTION, and in spirit
opposed to Canada's participation in
the war, the nationalists-Laurier-li
erals are pledged. in the event of vic
tory, to shelve the present army law
and set into motion the slow-movfng
machinery for referendum"
The contention of the unionists was
that the present election presented the
issue and that their defeat meant an
end to CONSUMPTION, virtually an end to
volunteer enlistment, and therefore
practically an end to Canada's partici-
patton in the war.
It is estimated that there are 1880
600 male domestic votes, 100000 over
seas soldier votes and probably 10000
women who are permitted to vote
through relationship with soldiers In
service.
