was an Indication of the unceasing

are making on the submarine in his
statement that during the last quarter
the enemy had lost as many subma-
rines as during the whole of 1916.
The first lord, speaking Of his de-

toned to add strength to the experi-
ence of the older officers on thenaval

Premier Kerensky discussed the pres

Russia was worn out by the long strain

country was out of the war.
The premier referred to the years
in which Russia had fought her own

ance as has been extended to France
by Great Britain and now by America.
He said he felt help was needed urg-
emily and that Russia asked 1t as her
right.
He urged that the United States
give aid in the form of money and sup
plies and appealed to the world not to
lose faith in the Russian revolution.
Russia, M. Kerensky added, was
taking an enormous part In the strug-
gle and those who said she was out of
1t must have short memories
Russia has fought consistently
from the beginning. She saved France
and England from disaster early in the

strain and claims as her right that the
allies now shoulder the burden"
Thus Premier Kerensky explained
Russia's position to the correspond
