MORE MEN WANTED.

FOR CRITICAL PERIOD OF WAR. London, Feb. 18. Lord Derby, speaking at Bolton, said the war would be long and even moro bitter than' hitherto. Three things were necessary to victory and iie would enumerate them in the order—money, men, munitions. People had given money, and munitions were being supplied, but men were wanted and must be had.
