'DUNNORE OPPOSES
PREMATURE PEACE
Createst Danger Confronting
the Allies, He Says.

The greatest danger confronting the
allied nations is the possibility OF a
premature peace, in the opinion OF
Colonel the Earl of Dunmore, who spoke
last night at the patriotic celebration
held on the roof OF the Washington
Irving High School, Seventeenth street
and Washington place. under the aus
pices of the American Defence Society
and the Gramercy Neighborhood Asso-
citation.
Col Dunmore Is one Of the survivors
or the first small expedltionary force
sent from England to Belgium. He was
gassed In the early part of the war and
wounded last autumn in the battle OF
Flanders. The recital OF his experiences
made deep impression on his audience
and his warning against the danger Of
accepting any OF Germany's insldious
peace feelers was construed by his hear
ers as an official answer TO Lord Lans-
downe's recent letter urging the Allies to
take advantage OF any opportunity for
the discussion OF peace terms.
Unless In our peace terms we can
force Germany to yield everything she
has so far seized said Lord Dunmore
I'VE shall all be ruined and we shall
leave the burglar in the possession OF his
loot II We were to yield to Germany's
PROPOSALS now we would merely Justify
her In the assumption that the Anglo
Saxons are a decadent people and we
would also give her the opportunity for
which she Is looking to prepare for the
next great war of aggression.
During the fighting last year Eng
land lost on an average of 5000 Of
hcers month. About l 900, 600 brave
Engiishmen lie In soldiers graves in
various parts Of the world where fight
Ing has taken place. but I would rather
see every British boy and every Ameri-
can boy lying dead on the battlefield
than slaves under the brutal German
domination"
with America In the war. however,
Lord Dunmore declared, there was no
doubt about ultimate and complete
victory for the Allies.
The other speakers OF the evening
we're Louis Tracy, the British novelist
and member of the British War Mis-
sion here. and Anthony Euer, "the poet
OF the Northwest"
