layed. )-There were two KEYS to
the world war position, said former
Premier Herbert H. Asquith in an
address to his constituents here to-
day. These keys were the command
of the seas and of the western front.
Both, he said, after all vicissitudes,
remained in the hands of the en-
tente allies.
While it is impossible to avert
our eyes from the tragedy unfold
ing in Russia 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
effective military factor has been
wiped off the slate: second, the
German procedure in the so-called
negotiations with Russia and the
light they have thrown upon the
minds and methods of Germanv's
present rulers. There rarely has
been a more instructive contrast he
tween pretention and intention.

General f. b. Maurice, chief mill
tary strategst of the British gener-
al staff, elaborated the information
he had made public that the Ger
mans now have sixteen more divi-
sions on the west front than the al
lies.
At the same time, he said the AL
lies forces are still superior in three
major branches of warfare: in air,
rifles and artillery. What superiority
the Germans may possess at present,
numerically, is more than offset by
the superior fighting equipment OF
the allied forces, which may be TAX

While observations, as a rule, are

Gates the Germans have all major
preparations completed and are now
in position to launch drive when
details have been arranged. He
says:
while camouflagc is developed
to- high degree. and we cannot al
ways prophesy precisely. our intelli-
gence is that if the enemy wants to
attack, he is now prepared, and
there is nothing to hinder him.
When the major preparations are
completed, there remains only the
completion Of local preparations be-
fore an offensive is begun"
General Maurice explained the
significance of recent raids by the
Germans by saying that they are
seeking fuller information as to the
Allies strength, which they hope to
get from prisoners

they want to ascertain the actual
condition of the allied forces. One
prisoners. In the second place, raids
such as we know about are for the
purpose of developing the offensive
spirit of German troops. Another
purpose is to teach officers through
the carrying out of smaller opera
tions how to carry out larger ones.
General Maurice also confirmed
reports that the Germans secretly
violated the armlStlce with Russia.
He said the Allies were in possession
of the official order issued by the
German staff instructing the kurds
to harass the Russian forces despite
the armistice between Russia and
Turkey.
In many quarters in London there

ed from General Pershing recon-
mending the change. General PERISH
ing said the French government had
called attention to the unquestioned
valuable information which the Ger
mans could obtain from statements
giving the exact number of casual
ties, resulting after raid, and from
official statistics in the form of cas-
ualty lists which gave the precise eff
fects of gas attack. He recommend
ed that the system be changed SO as
to omit everything which might be
of value to the enemy.
1t could not be learned whether
General Pershing specifically desig-
mated the features to be deleted or
left this to be decided by the de-
partment. Nor was there any explain
alton of statement in an Associated
Press dispatch today from American
ing the discussina of casualties
temporary" Whether this referred
to prohibition imposed by General
Pershing on correspondent in
France or to the departments new
order was not made clear.
General March explained that the
French government has never is
sued casualty list of any kind since
the beginning of the war. Instead,
the war office in Paris, as soon as
name is received notifies the mayor
of the town from which the soldier
came and the mayor personally, mott
fled the soldiers family or next of
kin.
The British government, accord
ing to the chief of staff, issued week
ly lists which contain only the infor-
nation now given out in Washing
ton, while the German government,
long ago discontinued the practice of
posting in towns the names of the
killed or wounded from those towns.
1t fs the intention of the depart
ment to give out the lists as they
are received from abroad, it was ex-
planned. Until further notice one list
will be published by the adjutant
generals office, mimeographed cop
les being provided for newspaper
correspondents. After explaining the
departments action, General March
today expressed the opinion that
the patriotic press" would sustain
the ruling.
Adjutant General Mccain tonight
reiterated that there is no cause
for anxiety among the relatives of
soldiers in France and that all rela-
tives of men killed, wounded or dy-
ing from any cause will be notified
Immediately.

of the Exchequer Andrew Bonal

America in the war depended upon
the successful operations of the

Quickly recovering himself, Mr.
Bonar Law resumed. He spoke of the
splendid organization of the entente
allied forces on tile western front
He professed some skepticism
concerning the much advertised
German offensive, and declared that
a member of the government who
had been with the troops in France
had told him that, while headquar-
tiers expected an offensive, when he
got lower down the line and talked
with brigadiers and battalion COM
manders who were in daily contact
with the enemy he found that these
men did not believe the Germans
would attack, and that the British
officers were confident of their own
superiority.

Mr.. Bonar Law said that, from
the viewpoint of staying power in
