BRITISH CHANCELLOR CALLS
PRUSSIA 1.-THE ROAD HOG
OF EUROPE
SAYS GERMANY LOOKS UPON
TREATIES AS MERE PAPER
Declares Great Britain Is Fighting
Against Barbarism and Germany Is
Behaving Like Fraudulent Bank
rupt Seeking to Escape His ObIisa-
tion-War Could Not Be Avoided.

London Sept. 19.--"There is no man
in this hall who thruout his political life
has regarded the prospect of engaging
in war with greater repugnance than
myself. There is no man either inside
or outside this hall more convinced than
I that we could not have avoided the
present war without dishonor.''
This was the text of speech of
David Lloyd George in Queens hall
this afternoon to arouse Welch enthusi-
asm for Field Marshal kitchencr's new
army. The chancellor went on to say
that any nation which disreEarded it's
national honor was doomed and Great
Britain was bound to defend the indie
pendence, liberty and integrity of Bel
GUM.
Referring to the case of Servia the
chancellor of the exchequer said that
Emperor Nicholas had given Austria
the only answer that became man
when he said, L will tear your ram
shackle empire limb from limb and he
Is doing it,
Prussia" said the speaker. ''is the
road hog of Europe. Men. women, chill
dren and nations are ordered out of the
way. Even Great Britain is ordered
out of the way. II the old British spirit
is left in British health the bully will
be torn from his seat. They thought
we could not beat them: 1t will not be
easy, it will be long job. 1t Will bc ter
rible, but in the end we will march thru
the terrible to triumph.
This struggle is a great war for the
emancipation of Europe from the
thralldom of the military caste which
has thrown it's shadow upon two gener-
ations of men and has now plunged the
world into a weller of blood
Treaties Just Scraps Of Paper.
Referring to the accusation that
Great Britain had used the treaty pro-
viding for Belgian neutrality as a cum
ming cloak to veil her jealousy OF a
| superior civilization, the chancellor
said
Our answer was the action we took
in 1870. In that case Prince Bismarck
respected Prussia's treaty obligations
but 1t was In the interest Of Prussia tc
break her treaty today and she has
done it, To Prussia a treaty is just a
scrap OF paper.
This doctrine OF a scrap OF paper
| goes to the root of all public law. We
are fighting against barbarism ant
! there Is only one way of putting Il
right. If there are nations who sa.
they will respect treaties only when Il
| is to their interest to do so we mus
| make 1t to their interest to do SO here
| after
Mr.. Lloyd-George continued
"a great nation ought to he ashamed

ewing to escape his obligations

Colonel Roosevelt. addressing a
state wide meeting of progressives
here today. elucidated his position on
important subjects OF legislation. He
discussed the relations Of capital and
labor at some length, pointing To the
Colorado labor troubles as illustrating
the failure of national and state gov
ernments to enact and enforce effec-
tive laws. and pointed TO the New
York, New Haven 4 Hartford railroad
scandal as an example of capital gone
wrong In the absence of proper gov
ornamental control.
Business he asserted. Is entitled to
its profits, and we must learn to ac-
cept the principle or combinations OF
capital as OF the highest economic
value. But this acceptance. he in
sisted. must carry with II q fair share
of the profit to the employs. The In
dustrial situation has greatly changed
in the last twenty five years. he said.
tor whereas at the beginning OF the
period mentioned only about 25 per
cent of the people were employees. at
this time he said half OF them live on
their wages. He quoted "Dooley" In
illustration. Jefferson was good
man. said Deoo!ey. "hnt he lived be-
fore the days OF open plumbing
Congressmen erred In defeating re-
form measures proposed by progress
sives. the speaker asserted. mentioning
the Murdoch trust bills. the tariff
commission bill. the federal employ
ment bureau hill and the bill for the
abolition OF child labor. as measures
which he said were blocked by oppon-
ents of the proRressives.
This opposition. he said. emphasized
''the need Of our demand for a reform
OF the political machinery, notably the
reform OF the presidential nominating
system"

sHAckLEroN OFF FOR SOUTH.
Expedition Divides in Two Parties and
Hopes to Meet in April 1915.

London. Sept. 19-Sir Ernest Shack
Teton and the members of his trans
Antarctic expedition left London yes
terday in two sections for the south
polar region One party. headed by Sir
Ernest Shackleton. departed for South
America; the other half of the expedi-
ton left for Ross Sea. on the New
Zealand side OF the Antarctic by way
of Tasmania.
Sir Ernest hopes to meet the Ross
Sea contingent in April of next year,
or, failing in that, by March of 1915.
The Shacltleton section Will have
seventy dogs and also motor sledges.
the other party will have twenty six
dogs.
One great difficulty that confronted
the expedition was the lack of scien-
tific instrum ents. These had been or
dered in Germany, but had not been de-
livered because Of the war. and 1T was
necessary to replace them in England.
The Ross Sea party will board the
exploration ship Aurora at Hobarts
town, Tasmania. Sir Ernest Shackleton
hopes to depart from Buenos Aires Oct.
Is by the ship Endurance. which is now
en- route 60 South America.

Washington. Sept. 19.-The day and
night fight on the river and harbor bill
in the senate showed signs of break
today with victory for the filibustering
republicans. when it became known
that President Wilson favored aban-
doning the bill and substituting new
resolution appropriating $12.000.000 to
$15.OO0,000 to continue only those pro-
jects under way. The modified demo-
cratic bill proposed $53.O0O.OO0.
Officials said the president believed
the bill should be abandoned in it's
present form. because government rev
e. ues, already failing because of the
European war, must be supplemented
by war tax. Increases to salaries to
officials will be abandoned.
Senator Burton took the floor shortly
before 6 o'clock last night after the
democrats had determined on con-
tinuous session. Shortly after midnight

ing of writs of arrest. He had an hour
and a half of rest while the majority
of the senate was herded in the cham

had discarded his frock coat for an
alpaca house jacket and had donned

series of charts which he had placed on
the wall Of the senate chamber.
Altogether Senator Burton and his
aids. Senators Kenyon and Smoot
forced nine roll calls before dawn. Jus,
as day broke the democrats forced

contention that he had already made
two speeches on the pending bill in q
single legislative day. the limits fixed
by rule. Senator Burton. however. i'm
: medi. tely, presented a motion to send
the bill back to committee and began
! the first of his allotted two speeches on
that motion.
Burton Speaks Twelve Hours.
Shortly after 6 o'clock. when Senator
Burton had occupied the floor more
, than twelve hours, Senator Kenyon re-
| lieved him and Immediately succeeded
in forcing roll call on a point of no
quorum.
During the long wait to get senators
to the chamber, Senator Ramsdell pro-
posed that the sergeant at arms be
directed to request the attendance OF all
senators now out of the city as earlier
! orders had applied only to those in
Washington. The order was agreed to-
