New German Drives at Paris and Calais Certain, Writes
Sir William Robertson Nicoll Munitions
Problem Grave for Britain.
Special Corretponience to Tn Sis.
Ixnpon, June 15. One of the most re-
murkable articles on the war appear
, ,.
In the ltritlth Weekly, from the pen
of Sir William Robertson Nicoll. I Brief I
extracts from this article have, already
been cabled to This Hun. Sir William,
a leader of the Nonconformists, one of
the ablest, coolest and shrewdest of
writers, hns exceptional means of know
ing what he Is writing of.
He deals with the probable effect of
the ltusslan reverses, the danger of the
British shortage of munitions and the
position of Mr. Lloyd Ueorgc. He hints
that the new Minister of Munitions will J
Insist on a perfectly free bnnd or will
iree iiauu ur i
e states that It Is
that it is
otherwise resign. II
not only possible but also probable that
the coalition Government will seek a
national mandate In a general election.
Kxtracts from Sir William's article fol
low :
L'rltlenl Period Near.
"It Is not the duty ct our people to b
dispirited and anxious, but It Is their
duty to be prepared. To Hatter the
vanity of the nation Is mischievous, but
It Is necessary to keep up their heart.
We have such faith In the Hrltlsh people
dm to be confident that they love to face
the facts, and that they will meet them
In the old spirit of courage nnd hope.
"We may say with certainty that th-J
next three months of the war will ba
extremely critical for the Allies. Jour
nalists arc now free to Indicate the possi
bilities of the situation. Mr. Lloyd
Otorgc has enabled them to write about
munitions without being Intimidated by
press censors. It Is not permissible to
stat halt of what Is known, but It Is
permissible to state what Is necessary.
George Lambert, late Civil Lord of the
Admiralty, said In the House of Com
mons: "'Apparently the Ordnance Depart
ment of the War Ofllce have failed In
their duty, and I am sorry for It." "
"We find ourselves In this position:
The superior strength of Germany In
munitions of war has given her a sec
ond great opoprtunlty of which she will
take full advantage. Our nation passed
through the tlrst crisis of tho war with
out half comprehending the danger. It
will not be possible for her to pass
through the second crisis without being
aware.
Germans Prep to (Jo West.

likely to set a million of the very best

mans put much faith In gas. and they
will apply It on the great scale. They
are almost certain to attempt an Inva
sion. In short, whatever may be Im
agined about the ferocity of their at
tack will In all probability come true.
"All these things will happen while
we are yet lamentably short of muni
tions. It does not seem conceivable
that we can take the offensive uwon
land. The peril thus Involved Is man!
fest. We may be sure that Germany
still hopes to reach Warsaw. Paris and
Calais, and the most determined efforts
will be made to attain these ends. But
the Germans have already .deceived
themselves, and they may deceive them
selves again. Their early plans L-irgely
n.lscarrled and we hope and believe
they will miscarry a second time.
"Again, when we come to our mag
nificent ally France our confidence re.
vlves. The unanimous report of those
who know Is that the French army Is
splendidly led and splendid In Its sol
diers. What Is about to take place, or
rather let us say, whatever may take
place, has hecn foreseen and provided
for. The French are confident of their
power to resist any attnck, however
formidable. No nation has more swiftly
Increased In eltlclency, In discipline. In
power and skill during tho war than the
French nation.
"Our own men In the field are all we
could desire, all we could hope for. They
have Miffered very heavily, but have
maintained throughout the attitude of
confidence and Joy which befits brave
I men fighting In a rlghteotw cause. Their

hi tifarprt frankly that we had not '
exerted and were not exerting one-half
oi out run power, though on the exer
tion of our full power dependa the fu
ture of the war and the fate of the na
tion. He himself accepted the new post,
of Minister of Munitions, nnd he Iib
been called to It by a nation unlversallv
of opinion that If he cannot accomplish
the titanic task no one else can do It.
"We do not need to enltrite on his
proposals. The Industrleb must become
practically .State Industries, and as Mr.
Lloyd George said, 'the .State control
of labor shall Insure for the benefit of
me fltate anil not of the employer.' Much i
fuwi has been made about the word 'coin-
pulsion.' We have compulsion nlready
under the defence of the realm net. Km
ployers can be and are called upon to
surrender their works and to chnnse
the form of their manufactures. This
Compulsory power must be exlenrte,! 1,1
the whole of Industry to employer nnd
normnan anae. We must all take our
part In home defence In any form of
service which can be rendered by men
above or below the military age, or by
women. If wo had done this eight
months ago the war would practically
have been ended. Our terrible short
coming Is no doubt due to an almost
fanatical hatred of new Ideas on th
part of those who have acted for us, and
who can act for us no more. We refer
to those Individuals known as cxpertw.'
"Somothlns must be said on the dis
cussion In Parliament on Monday. Kor
ourselves we are convinced that It will
not be neeessnry to use the latent und
last power of the State. When tho work

laboring for the enrlcnment of employ

they will do their duty. What Is wanted

"What convinces us that the workers
will play their part Is that so many
of them have sacrificed all to go out.
Will their brothers at home break their
faith with th dead and with tlnve wha
are In Jeopardy every hour? We aro
persuaded better things of them.
"But there Is no time to lose. Un
less the rally Is speedy It may be use
less, and the empire may be destroyed.
It follows that Mr. Lloyd George must
have Ills chance. He knows better than
any one how instantly and closely the
problem presses. He cannot nfford de
lay. He must have his opportunity. To
carp him In the midst of his mighty
task should be regarded as a work of an ,
enemy. We will go further. If Mr.
Lloyd George finds that he Is hopelessly
hampered by conditions Imposed upon J
him by the Government, or more likely
by the House of Commons, he will and
he should refuse to go on.
"We speak without special 1 lowledge.
but we lielleve that three months will be
required before the troops of the Allies
have a fair chance In the matter of mu
nitions. That period Is quite long
enough. It will be hard to live through.
It will have Its own story of bale. But
to lengthen It would be so perilous that
the thought of It makes one shudder.
Conscription, which means the forced
undertaking of foreign service, must not
be pressed Just now.
"We will in the fewest possible words
Indicate another necessity. Our men
must lie properly led. Inefficient olli-
cern must be turned out as worthless.
i as they have been In the French and
I German and Russian armies."

last evening delivered a very violent
attack along our entire front, ac
companied by the hurling of asphyx

After having succeeded in penetrat

by J. P. Morgan & Co. and the Roths
childs of Paris for a French loan In this
country of between J50.O00.000 and
$75,000,000. About the only explana
tion which seems to fit tho decline In
francs Is that France Ih making ex
ceptionally heavy purchases of food
stuffs, war material, hort.es and other
supplies In this country and that ns n
result the balance of trade ngatns
France Is being Increased nt an extraor
dinary rate.
The reasons nscrlbed to the strength
of sterling are the new British war
loan, the fact that many corporations
are
buying exchange to remit their July
iterest obligations In Kngland nnd
1 tut
the fact that th British liquidation of
American securities Is making Itself felt
In tho exchange market. There wero
rumors yesterday that tne negotiations
were well under way for the placing of
a British credit here based on Ameri
can (-eourltles sold In Kngland as col
lateral or on the British war loan. At
the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co. this
was denied by n member of the firm,
who said that 'f such plans were being
considered he knew nothing of them.
Bankers say that it would be to the
lntertst of this country If there were
somo liquidation of British held Ameri
can securities, as this market Is In a
position to stand It. They think that
n readjustment of the exchange situa
tion between tho two countries would
be beneficial.
