Until Recognition Is Offered of Only Princi-
pie Upon Which an Honorable Peace
Can Be Concluded.

London, Feb. 12.-In his speech a,

George said the struggle had reached
a critical stage which demanded more
than ever the full use of the couin
try's energies and resources.
Until recognition is offered of The
only principles upon which an hon
orable peace can be concluded, the
king declared, it is the duty Of the
British to prosecute the war with all
ahe vigor they possess.
Kings Speech. :
Following is the kings speech:
My Lords and Gentlemen: The /
necessities of war render it i'm
perative for me, after a brief in
teryal, to summon you again to
your deliberations. The aims for
which I and my allies are con-
tending were recently set forth by
my government in a statement
which received the emphatic ap-
proval of my peoples throughout
the empire, and provided a fair
basis for settlement Of the present
struggle and establishment of
national rights and international
peace in the future.
THE German government has,
however, ignored our just de-
mands that it should make resti-
tuition for the wrongs it has COM
mitted and furnish guarantees
against their unprovoked repeti-
ton. It's spokesman refuse any
obligations for themselves while
denying rightful liberties of 9TH
ers. Until a recognition is offered

BRIGHT SKIES BRING
ENEMY AIR BIRDS

With the American Army in France,
Monday, Feb. 11.-(By the Associated
Press 1T was bright and clear today
and a considerable number of aircraft
was over the American sector. The
enemy machines were busy taking
photographs and making observations,
and number of air fights resulted.
One group of three enemy airplanes
flew so low that they became targets
for anti-aircraft and machine guns
and were driven off.
The artillery continued active on
both sides. The enemy dropped shells
into a number of villages behind the
American lines, and the American ar
tillerymen replied. Only one man was
reported wounded during the past
twenty four hours. He was injured
by a bursting shell in village behind
the lines. Several American patrols
reached the enemy wire entanglements
last night without encountering any
Germans.

with the Ukraine glorifies the policy
OF might. Germany he says, shall
seek in every way to bring peace to
the world, but those who refuse the
German terms must be forced to have
peace" while acknowledging the power
of the German sword.
Meanwhile on the western front,
where Germany is massing her forces
to crush the entente, there are signs
OF growing alertness, portending the
battles to come. The weather has i'm
proved and on some parts of the Brit
ish front the ground is in condition
for military operations on q larger
scale than for several months. German
troops and guns are still pouring into
France opposite the British lines, but
the British are reported confident, the
preponderance of men and guns being
still with the allies.
Raids are increasing in intensity and
the artillery fire is becoming more
violent along important sectors. In
an attack against Caurieres wood,
northeast of Verdun the French re-
pulsed the Germans with loss. On the
Italian front the Austrians have failed
in attempts against the positions west
of the Brenta captured recently by
the Italians.

ASQUITH DEEMS JUST

London, Feb. 12.-In the
house of commons today former

upon President Wilson's speech
to congress yesterday, said the
president had Disseminated
justly in regard to both tone
and substance between the dec
larations of the German chan
cellor and the Austro- Hun
garian foreign minister in their
utterances regarding war aims.
Mr.. Asquith said 1t would
seem, as Mr.. Wilson remarked,
as though the military party
of Germany alone rejected and
would have nothing to do with
peace based upon the lines
which, in principle at any rate.
all the rest of the world was
ready to accept. The former
premier asserted that nothing
had been done or left undone
which had in the least shaken
the confidence of the nation in

mander in France and Belgium.
and in Gen. Robertson, chief OF
the imperial staff at army
headquarters.

Cincinnati, Feb. 12.-With the river

feet early today and continuing to rise
at a rate of two tenths of a foot an
hour, rivermen contend that only the
breaking of the ice gorge below this
city can save it from a disastrous
flood. The United States weather fore

Already the lowlands of Cincinnati

this. coupled with the moderate
