THE KING'S SPFECH.
AT OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
(Received This Dav at 9.50. a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 12,
The King’s speech at the opening of Parliament, said the struggle had reached a critical stage, demanding their united energies and resources. The German Government had ignoreu our first demands to make restitution for the wrongs committed, and furnish guarantees against an unprovoked repetition. Until Germany recognises the offer of the only principles on which an honourable peace can be concluded, it was our duty to prosecute the war with all vigour. It was with {.nil confidence that the British forces and their faithful Allies continue to display heroic courage, and the people at home dis- ) play an unselfish devotion, which had frustrated many of the enemy’s designs, and will ensure the ultimate triumph of a righteous cause. I have summoned the Dominions’ representatives to a further session of the Imnerial War Cabinet for adv ice on questions affecting the common interests of the Empire.
