MR. ASQUITH'S COMMENT
GERMAN INVASION OF RUSSIA
THE BLOW IN THE WEST
Mr. Lloyd George has mado his promised statement on the Staff crisis which culminated in the resignation of Sir William Robertson from the office of Chief of the Imperial General Staff. The speech mak&s clearer tho functions of tlie Supreme War Council at Versailles, and Mr. Asquith's only comment on that point is that it was a pity the explanation was not given a week earlier. There is yet no sign of the big German offensive in the West, although we are again told that it is imminent. The German invasion of Northern Russia via the Baltic provinces of Livonia and Esthonia is now under way. : Dvinsk has fallen. Simultaneously the Austrians, advancing on their front, have seized Lusk. Gruesome stories of chaos arid anarchy at Potrograd continue to flood the Russian dis , patches, while. extraordinary stories have come in from South Russia concerning the sanguinary conflicts between the Bolsheviki and the Ukrainians.
