The Premier said that if the 'Rus" sian army had fulfilled the expecta tions of it? generals, by this time the vride of the German military power would have been completely humbl ed. On the whole, the Britisn campaign had not achieved the expectations formed, he said, but there had been military successes in Palestine which would have a permanent effect on the history of the world. Jerusalem, he stated, never would be restored to the Turks. After referring to the Italian revers es, the Premier said it would be nec essary for Great Britain to make greater sacrifices to strengtnen Its armies in the coming year. The need would arise to increase the na nation's man-power, taking some men now exempted. , The Premier's speech was deliver ed when adjournment for the holi days was moved in the House of Commons this afternoon. He "dealt first with the problem of food. Two circumstances, he said, had contribut ed lately to the gravity of the situa tion the failure to obtain margarine and butter from Holland and Den mark and the fact that England had been required to make sacrifices in order to. supply deficiencies of her Allies. Owing- to the efforts of the food controller, an improvement was visible in circumstances which had caused so much anxiety in the last few days.
