Sir Edward Carson, minister without

ciated Press in behalf Of the British
war cabinet, of which he Is a member.
Sir Edward also voiced the determine
ton Of Great Britain "to see this thing
through until we have attained the
aims we proclaimed at the beginning"
The momentous decision of the
United States that no alternative re-
manned to her but to take up arms
against Germany" he said. "is one of
the greatest events in the history OF
the world. Previous to taking 1t she
had proved by a long course OF pa
tient craftsmanship how deeply seat
ed was her adherence OF war and her
idealism in the conduct of international
affairs. Nothing but persistent and
openly avowed adoption by Germany Of
a policy of public crime and fragrant
violation of neutral rights would have
driven America into the war
The utterances OF President Wilson
have nobly indicated the moral basis
of the alliance against Germany and
we have full confidence that Americans
moral support will, in good time, be
backed by material aid of overwhelm-
ing power which will make an end Of

overthrowing the provisional Russian
government a great step would have
been made toward separate peace
with Russia.
1t is affirmed here that a separate
peace is more than ever discounted in
Germany. Figuring in the recent Ia
nous promises made to the representa-
tives Of the reichstag explains why the
defeat of the Maximalists is much more
serious for Germany than the Austro-
German victory in Galicia Is for the
Russians. One hundred German vic
tories over disorganized and betrayed
Russia If they do not lead to a DEFINITE
victory will mean but 80 many defeats
for Germany, who is uselessly wearing
herself out in pursuit of chirnera. The
only victory which can save Germany
is on the western front, and such VIC
tory is growing more and more i'm
probable. SO long as the Russians hold
from 100000 to 100000 Austro- Ger
mans on the eastern front the hypothe-
sis of any German success OF vital tb-
portance in France cannot be consid-
cred.
