essary, as his resignation had been
accepted as soon as filed.

the Chicago club was about to come to
an end. There were rumors of it one

ASQUITH DOESN'T FEAR FUTURE
Says Two Keys to World War Position
Are in Hands of Allies,

Cupor, Scotland.-There are two
keys to the world war position said
former Premier Herbert II. ASQuith in
an address to his constituents here
Friday. These keys are the command
of the seas and of the western front.
Both, he said after all vicissitudes, still
remain in the hands of the entente
allies.
while it is impossible to avert our
eye from the tragedy unfolding in Rus.
STA and the formidable dangers that
tragedy has revealed" he said. these
dangers do not give Us apprehension.
There are two important factors in
the situation. First, Russia as an ef'
fective military factor, has been wiped
off the slate: second, the German pro-
cedure in the so-called negotiations
with Russia and the light they have
thrown upon the minds and methods
of Germany's present rulers. There
rarely has been IL more instructive con-
trast between pretention and in1en'
ton"
