UNCOMPROMISING SPEECH BY MR. BONAR LAW

BRITISH SUCCESS IN EGYPT

CALL FOR MEN

BRITAIN'S URGENT NEED

In an uncompromising speech in the House of Commons, Mr. Bonar Law has made it perfectly clear to those who think that the timo for peace negotiation has arrived, that Britain's chief aim in the ■ war is to destroy Germany's capacity for making mischief. Thoso who have steeped Europe in Wood with tho dcliberatoness of chess-players moving their pieces on the board must, he says, he punished. Contemporaneously with this firmly expressed declaration is an appeal for men. For 1917 the word is "now or never," and every man is wanted for the great effort. The Germans, by a. sudden attack in force, and tho use of flame projectiles, have, been able to seize an advanced post on the British line at Le Trinsloy. Elsewhere on the line our raiding successes continue. Successful operations are reported from Sinai, on the Egyptian front,' where two Turkish positions have been taken. There are no new developments in connection with the superfrightfiil war afc sea.
