Mr.. Lloyd George, in a remarkable speech
at Manchester, declared thMt the Teuttnic
victory at Pelmysl was not due to the genus
of their generals or the number md valour
of their soldiers, the Austro-Germans having
won solely because Of the overwhelming
superiority of their shot aud shell munitions
aud equipment. Two hundred thousand
shells were thrown iu a single hour, over
whelmin9 the Russians, who had but seven
hundred for a single battle. The numbers
of the Russians were unlimited and their
gallantry was conspicuous even in defeat.
Englishmen, he said. were in the same posi-
ton. Their soldiers were more numerous
than their equipment, and EnglaDds's fate
rested with her workmen. The vic cries of
the Germans were being won in the factories,
aud if England were equal TO Germany in
that respect the Germans would have been
turned out of France before now and the
British would have been in Germany. He
asked the workmen to enable the British
soldiers TO break through the German lines,

dismissed the United States suit against
the Steel Trust as Il combination in restraint

Swallowing the depression caused 10y the war.
Mr.. Meyer Gerhardt has sailed on the
Danish Steamship Omitted Stutes" for Co.
penhngen, TO report upon the "Lnsitania"
situation in the United States, in q manner
otherwise unavailable for Count Won Bern
stortf under the present state OF communica-
tons. 1t is understood that be considers
Germany's policy unwise and inappreciutive
of the serious intentions of the United
States.
President Wilson has submitted his Sc
cond Note to the Cabinet, which has ex-
pressed its approval. 1t merely requests a
reply to his first Note, before negotiations
can continue.
The evidence regarding guns on the
"Lusitania' has been traced to Germans
who have disappeared and are known to
have been in the pny of the German consul
late and Captain Boyd of the German
Embassy. There are hiuts Of prose cut'ous
for perjury. The United States regards
these afidavits as inferior to it's own official
ones and considers the reports that gun
luountings were plnnked over irrelevant, If
true, Stree the "LusitaniA" did not resist
and the submarine gave no notice. 1t il not
expected that the United States second
note will consider the side issues contained
in the German note.
