Anetmerican correspondent sends us a page from a Transatlantic

tie* spaper, the Christian Work, containing an article entitled

" Why Must the War Go On ? " by Mr. Arthur Ponsonby, M.P. This strange document is heralded by a note to the following effect

Brought secretly to this country from England recently, the follow- ing article, by a member of Parliament, has an interest second only to that which attached to the appeal of Bertram [sic] Russell to President Wilson. The statement, which is entitled Why Must the War Go On I' was sent by Mr. Ponsonby to the American Neutral Conference Committee, '70 Fifth Avenue. IO was written before the German Peace Note of December 12th."
