Speech of Lloyd George in
House of Commons
Yesterday.
GRAVITY IN COUNTRY.
France and Russia to Raise Their
Quota Towards Financing War
To Aid Belgium and Servia

London, Feb: ,16.-England, to-
day as never before realizes the en-
crmous task laid out for the allies.
The speech in the house of commons
yesterday by David Lloyd George,
chancellor of the eXchequer, announc-
ing that the cost Of the war to Eng
land and her allies this year will be
0000,000,000, that the allies have
only one third of their strength enl-
ployed, and that the other two thirds
will be used to the full has added to
the feeling of gravity in this country.
Great expectation was aroused by
the chancellor's speech that some
countries which are now neutral will
speedily enter the war on the side
of the allies land popular hopes turn
toward Italy, Greece, Roumania, and
possibly the Neatherland, and one or
more Scandinavian powers. The
chancellor did not name any country
but made reference to loans to coun.
tries which he expected to throw in
their lot with the allies. He decIar
ed that the British empire would
spend considerably more from $780,
900 to 100000 more than either
France or Russia, probably the
highest figures spent by the other
twc great allies.
The. chancellor said there was
every indication that France would
succeed in raising money necessary
to the part. she is playing in the war
bat that Belgium and Serbia must

Richmond, Feb. l6--The movement
for an investigation of the Police De-
pa:tment, with the view of fixing
the responsibility for alleged official
connivance in the maintenance Of i'm
moral resorts outside the old sesre-
gated district, took on decidedly
quicker tempo yesterday with the for
uartling by the Mayor Of letter to
The Vice Commission in which that
tndy is asked to file without delay
sIch supplementary reports upon
the vice situation as it holds in store.
While the Mayors letter merely
asks for the filing Of all the evidence

has nothing to say directly upon a
proposed investigation, there is u
ciear intimation that further action
will be taken.
Complaints that former inmates Of
lhe recently abolished segregated

.ec.ons were filed with the police
Yesterday. The complaints came
from various sections Of the city and
many Of them were made by well
k;nown persons who have lived in
their own homes for years. They IN
formed the police that women who
a,e said to have formerly lived in
the segregated district nave moved
into their immediate ncigh5nrhnods.
and inquired what they should or
'ou!d do.
The police are at loss to advise
hem. The complainants were told
that the reports would be listed and
th;t the department would 40 what
il could for them.
One Of the best known Judges OF
