LABOR HOLDS KEY
TO VICTORY, SAYS
LLOYD-GEORGE
Unions Must Permit I'm
skilled Workers to Per-
form Necessary Tasks
MUST SPEED PRODUCTION

LONDON, Dec. 2i.
"The Ministry of War requires $4,000
skilled men for the new munition fac
tories. Labor alone can answer the ques-
ton"
This statement was made by David
Lloyd-George, Minister of Munitions. to-
day in discussion of the munition prob
lem before the Commons. He continues:
I'VE want 100000 to 100000 unskilled
men. We must reduce the proportion of
our orders which go abroad and develop
our home resources Upon the supply of
labor depends l think, our success in
this war
"Wil the war end VIGOROUSLY In a
year or will we allow 1t to linger on?
II wonder If it's too late-too late!
Fatal words of this war. Unless we
quicken our movements damnation will
befall the great cause for which so much
blood has been shed.
THE superficial facts are against us,
but the fundamental facts favor us.
There is no reason, therefore. to avoid
them"
"The whole question depends on organ
ICED labor Unless 1t allows as to put
ureklled workers on the work which
hitherto has been the monopoly of skilled
labor, we cannot perform this task. There
can be only one appeal, namely, to pa
triotism. Victory dc nCs on this. Hun
dreds of thousands of precious lives de-
pend on I.abor's answer.
at is a question whether we are going
to bring the war to an end in a year
or iinger along in the blood-staned path.
Labor has the answer"
Earlier in his speech, Mr. Lloyd-George
admitted that there was ba shortage
in the British munitions supply in the
first year of the war, but declared that the
present situation was quite a different
matter. Last MAY the British were turn
ing out only 25O) high explosive shells
daily against the Germans 100000.

STRONG ALLIED FORCES
Off GRECIAN COAST
Athens Believes Entente Ready
to Launch New Balkan
Offensive
LONDON. Dec. 81

LDNpbNt bef, II,
Information from Athens that strong
forces of Allied troops have arrived of
the Greek coast indicates th0t aJldicrs
withdrawn from the pqrdanell' are -
ing sent into the Balkans.
If, as believed a section Of the troops
transferred from the Suvla and Anzac
fronts are being sent into the Balkans
the following possibilities present them
sclve}:
F1rst The Anglo-Frcnch forces at sa-
ionica might be reinforced to withstand
n drive from the Austro- German, Bull
Rarian and Turkish soldiers massed on
the Greek frontier.
Second. A thanking movement may be
under contemplation by the Allies by
sending troops to Kavala.
Salonica is go miles by sea route from
that part of the Gallipoli peninsula from
which the Allied forces were transferred.
kavala Is only l2l miles from the penin-
sua. Eighteen miles north of Kavaln is
Drama, an important Greek town, on the
railway line which runs to the eastern
shore of Lake Dorian. The extreme left
wing of the German allies line rests upon
the western shores of this lake.
on the other hand the allied forces
could strike eastward from Drama into
facilities being afforded for such an
operation. There are reported to be at
least quarter of a million Bulgarian,
Austro-Germnn and Turkish troops
massed on the Greek border and many
military experts feel certain that a drive
will he launched against Salonica.
