prime minister and head of the Lib
eral party, under the title, "A Wike-

In brief, Marquis Okuma observes
that foreign and domestic policies of
the United States since she joined
the war show that the whole strength
of the country is directed towards
unifying the nation and making it
stronger after the war In conclu-
sion he turned his attention towards
Japan where he finds the people are
llstless and like fishermen sleepily
sitting on the riyerbank and wait
ing for something to bite instead of
being alert to meet the needs and
opportunities of the country after

ENGLAND APPEALS To AMERICANS
To HASTEN MOVEMENT Of TROOPS
Message from Lloyd George Call
to Americans to Back Up
Government

in his message Our army has been
forced to retire. The retirement has
been carried out methodically be-
fore the pressure of a steady sue
cession Of fresh German reserves
which are suffering enormous losses.
THE situation is being faced with
splendid courage and resolution The
dogged pluck of our troops has for
the moment checked the ceaseless
onrush OF the enemy, and the French
have now joined in the struggle.
But this battle, the greatest and most
momentous In the history Of the
world, is only just beginning.
Throughout ii the French and British
are buoyed with the knowledge that
the great republic of the west will
neglect no effort which can hasten
its troops and It's ships TO Europe.
In war, time Is vital 1t is i'm
possible to exaggerate the import
ance of getting American reinforce
ments across the Atlantic in the
shortest possible space Of time"
The dinner. given by the Lotus
Club In honor of Lord Reading, was

LONDON, Wednesday, March 81
General Maurice said that England,
considering the losses in the fight
ing in France must consider lne
usual German eAaggeration. In the
past the GermanG usually have given
the capture of prisoners in round
numbers, not as actually counted but
as anticipated from the general situ-
alton. 1t is reasonable to assume
that this is being done. Our total
loss in guns is 500. The Germans
claims $50. Probably the same ratio
applies to prisoners. We lost prob
ably 100 tanks"
