CRITICAL PERIOD
Fate of the Empire of Europe and Of
Liberty May Depend on Allies Sue
cess in Present Struggle

LONDON, April 9.-Premier Lloyd
George told the house of commons today
that when the battle of the Sommc front
commenced the total combatant strength
of the German army on the west front
was approximately equal to the total of
the entente allies.
Mr. Lloyd George said his man power
proposal would involve ar extreme sacri-
flee by part of the population of Great
Britain. The Cambria battle, he said,
was a very trivial event when compared
with the recent battle and until the strain
had relaxed it would be difficult to find
out exactly what had happened.
In the course Of his speech the premier
said we have now entered the most criti-
cal period of the war There is a lull in
the storm, but the hurricane is not vet
over. The fate of the empire of Europe
and of liberty may depend upon the sue
( cess with which the last German attack
( is resisted and countcred.

Strong Attempt to Deal with the Prob
lens of Government for Ireland as
Result of Report of the Irish Conven-

LONDON, April 9-Parliament rcas-
sembled today after the Easter recess
with two questions of great Importance
upon its hands. The first is a new mil
iary service bill which raises the age
limit eight years and makes those born
after a fixed date in the spring of 1867
liable to bear arms The second promises
to be a strong attempt to deal with the
problems of government for Ireland. Both
these issues have been thrust upon the
cabinet during the brief recess. the first
by the desperate German attack in
France, which demands all the men the
allies can muster as quickly as they can
be put in the field, and the second by
the conclusion of the Irish convention and
the rendering of its report which Premier
Lloyd George said would be followed by
. legislation

Turn the dark cloud inside out

Until my dreams all come true,
