This Is Opinion of Colonel Mur
ray in Thrilling Address at
Auditorium' Last Night.
TWO BIG AIMS-OE GERMANY
One: Was Defeated at Battle of
the'Marnej Other Russia, of
Which She Is in Possession.
- "If we "hold them In the present j big

reaching a decision within a reasonable
time say within the nett year were
never brighter." ' -f ' i
' tJo said Colonel Murray, the earl of
Dunmore; In an address at The Audi
torium. Wednesday night. Colonel
Murray, a British army officer, with a
Uing record of distinguished service" In
this war and other of England's wars.
Is on a tour of tha country on a special
Invitation of President Wilson, i. ' He
,served In the Flanders - campaign and
- has been a close student of the great
war. o
'' "Iast year Germany wis content to
esimme the defensive on the western
. front. Now she knows she must act or
face Inevitable .defeat. That la, the
reason for the . present desperate of-
- fonnlve. I am not here to minimise her
successes, for they have been severe But
... Germany has not only failed In her
main objective, but has failed to secure
any ground of sufficient Importance to
compensate for the fearful cost she had
. paid." said Colonel Murray.
, arlo-Amerlcaa Aplrlt It Stanaeh
f "The defection of Russia has added
lone and a half million fresh troops to
.Germany's western front armies, but
'even this haa not. given her the auperl
'nrlty. Amiens Is "her objective.. I con-
- ffldently predict that she will never take
ilt. Uermany cannot DreaK trie Angio
'American spirit. They cannot break the
"spirit of France. The battle, however. Is
'only Just begun and the situation Is yet
grave. All steps are being taken to meet
i It. I feel confident that Germany will
never achieve what she is seeking, for I
know the difficulties she will have to
encounter."
Colonel Murray then gave a brief
v -description of war under present con
Jdltlons. saying that difficulties are en
countered In this war that were never
before known. He mentioned particu
larly the handicap of mud, which often
jmakes It Impossible to bring up the
artillery, lie said he has actually seen
.soldiers drown In the mud. He de-
..scribed phases of recent battles and
Germany's great preparations. He re
lf erred especially to the Hindenburg
line, which, he said, was reputed to be
;the most Invincible battle front ever
'' established. "Yet," he dryly remarked,
J"lt took our boys only two hours to
walk through it." ,

Oaa of Germaay's strings Brokea
"Germany went- to war with' two
strings attached to her. parse." One was
the subjugation of Franc and the other
was the domination of tha. races along
the eastern front. Tha first string was
broken at the Marne. The other -still t
remains to be broken. Germany wanted

ma," h continued. "Britain is , not
sparing : her . resources, either in ma
terial or humans. Our armies in ue i
field number B. 000,000. They are not
only helping France and Belgium, but
Italy. They ara in Salonlkl, Faletttn
and Mesopotamia. Our casualties were i
1.000, OOO last year and yet wa are
stronger at the front today than even
before."!
Calling attention to the Ideals at
stake ajnd referring to the spirit of
America when once before she fought
for her liberty, Colonel Murray praised
the " stand of the United States and
declared that England is proud to fight
side by side with Americans.
"We are all dedicated to the same
purpose.' he said. "The greatest assist
ance you Americans can give now la
the furnishing of ships. In this lies
the chief factor of success. The rais
ing of an army is not all ; the gath
ering together of great food supplies
is not all. Your problem is to get
that army and that food over there.
By acting and acting quickly you will
reduce your casualties and our cas
ualties through bringing the end of
the war- that much sooner."
Only Peace With Victory Possible
Referring to peace talk the speaker
said : "There can now be no peace ex
cept a victorious peace. I know that we
can and, will win this war. We have the
resources wherewith to win. It would
be folly to Ignore Germany's successes
as a result of her 40 years of prepara
tion. She has occupied a good deal of
territory. ' She haa enslaved 40,000,000
souls. In this she has gained, for she Is
using those people In agricultural and
industrial pursuits, permitting the re
lease of her own people for duty at the
front.
The territory that Germany has taken
im.a been most shamefully devastated.
It haa been stripped of all its worth,
which has been removed to Germany.
Hence, It Is idle to consider peace of no
ally.
when every ally will bear its full share
of the burden.
"We must win, for w are fighting for
our Uvea our woman, our children. War
brings misery. It la true, but X would
rather see every British and American
boy dying dead on tha battlefield than
be slaves or a victorious uermany.
Colonel Murray referred to the sug
gestion of President Wilson for creating
a league of nations. aftr tha war to In-
. X I J
sure .permanent peace, xxo yrmwu inii
idea, but said that mere must nrst d
some rearrangement of boundaries in
Europe to insure future friendly inter
national relations.
Oreatest Opportnelty of All Time
"We have the greatest opportunity of
all time and I hop and pray that w
may i be worthy of It," he continued.
Prevloua to the speaking, music was
furnished by the Glee club of the 318th
engineers at Vancouver and by Fred
erick Goodrich, presiding at the pipe
organ. Several hundred Boy Scouts
were seated on the platform. At the
conclusion of the speaking. Colonel Mur
ray made a brief address to them. The
colonel is a personal friend of Sir Badep
Powell, organiser of the Scouts. Then
followed the presentation of 0 medals
to as many Scouts for service Curing
th first and second Liberty loans. The
medals were awarded by President Wil-

Another feature of th meeting was

Despite this effort to rectify an ap

thee decrees must be set aside and the

The federal act is to th effect that
no default decree can be, entered, un
less the plaintiff files such an affi
davit. If unable to file this affidavit,
th plaintiff must file a bond to In
demnify the defendant if future litiga
tion should arise. This act became ef
fective March 8. and applies to all
courts in the United States.
It was not until Wednesday afternoon
that . Judge Morrow a attention waa
called to th new law. He Immediately
notified attorneys and refused to grant
