Production OF stone In the United
States in 1914 reached the enormous
value Of $77.412,2s2. Figures made
public today by the geological survey
show. that the output was the largest

Lloyd George Says British
Government Is Now Seeking
"a Decision.
DOESN'T EXPECT WORKMEk
TO OPPOSE CONSUMPTION
No Desire for Compulsory Service if
Volunteer System Prom
Uses Victory.

LONDON, September 20.-David Lloyd
George. minister of munitions, in a
letter to one of his constituents ami
issued by the official press bureau.
makes an appeal to the public to give
the government fair chance to decide
the question Of compulsory service and
reiterates his view that the situation
Is serious one which demands that
the country, IL victory is to fall to the
allies. must exert its whole strength.
Mr.. Lloyd George says:
You say, and say rightly, that the
government ought to give the nation
a lead on the question whether the
moral obligation Of every ablebodied
man to defend his country should be
converted during this war into a legal
obligation.
Seeking the Right Decision.
The government, I can assure you.
are fully alive to the necessity for
giving a definite lead. They are en-
gagged in examining the subject with q
view to coming to the right decision.
Undue delay might be disastrous. but
undue precipitation might be equally
disastrous. Let US avoid both. The
issue Is one OF fact, not OF principle.
IF the figures demonstrate that we
can win through with the voluntary
system It would be folly to provoke
controversy in the middle of a world
war by attempts to substitute a totally
different method. On the other hand, If
these figures demonstrate to every I'M
prejudiced person that the voluntary
system has exhausted its utility, and
nothing but legal pressure can. give US
the armies necessary to defend the
honor of Great Britain and save Europe
from the triumph of military despotism.

Must Employ Whole Strength.

THE opinions have formed as to
the essential action are prompted by
the sincere persuasion that nothing but
the exertion Of our whole strength will
enable US to obtain victory, upon which
SO much depends. Having come to that
conclusion. am bound to do my best
to secure that effort without the least
regard to the effect my appeals may
have upon my own political fortunes.
THE issue Is the gravest any country
has ever been called upon to decide.
Let 1t be settled in spirit worthy
Of its gravity.
