(From a Staff Correspond ent of the Associated Press.)—'While there is no general battle in progress, intensely 'bitter fighting has flared up along the British line in the vicinity of Lens, almost to the south of St. Quentin. Much of this is due to the desper ate attempts of „tihe Germans to re take some of their old positions. They still are hurling fresh reinforcements by day and by night into the conflict, "which ever is becoming more san guinary. The Germans are resorting again to the use of liquid fire, but even that barbaric weapon has now failed.

Prolonged applause greeted a speech by President Zorianko in which he repudiated any idea of a separate peace. The whole assembly stood and cheered the Entente ambassadors. War to the Finish. "The war which has been forced upon us and for which we are in no way responsible must be brought to a successful termination in such a manner that the integrity and nation al honor of Russia shall be main tained," said President Aodzianko. "The innumerable sacrifices we have laid upon the altar of this war demand that the peace should corre spond with the immensity of our ef forts, and that the aim for which we are struggling, the trials and ideals of justice and liberty be assured us. "The struggle for principles so mu tually contradictory cannot terminate in a draw, 'but only in a decisive vic tory for one or the other of the ad versaries. Only defeat of the German militarism can result in happiness. "Peace in the present condition would only be an armistice of lesser or greater duration. Do not forget that the working classes of Germany however socialistic, ardently desire victory for "Germany, and her defeat by the Allies would be like the bloiy of a club for the workers of Ger many, who naturally support the im perialistic aspirations of their gov ernment."
