BRITISH DETERMINED
 10 PUSH WAR 10 END
Lloyd George Confident Allies
 Will Win Conflict

London, Jan. 29.-"I think that for us the war is only beginning" said David Lloyd George, minister of muni- tions in an interview yesterday with the London correspondent of the Milan Secolo," "but I am absolutely confident of victory because, although we all have made mistakes in the past, England and her allies are now taking counsel together and will be stronger because they are united. By next spring we shall have for the first time more munitions than the enemy and our superiority in men is unques- toned. Besides this, Germanys finan- clal position is growing worse daily"
 The minister of munitions admitted that the entente allies were all caught unprepared and had to organize armies England he said, had to create an army. Asked if he thought the war would end in deadlock, the minister said that such thing must not be thought of for a moment
 Pressure Becoming Greater.
 ''It may take long time" he said, but we must crack the nut before we get at the kernel. Wearing down the outside by attrition is too long and would not be a smashing pulverizing victory. Pressure on the enemy is be- coming greater They are spreading their frontiers temporarily but are be- coming weaker in a military sense and the process of strangulation will squeeze them more and more."

Everything that suggests the Russlanl effect is fashionable. Here is a littlel frock that is charming. 1t can be made| as it is on the figure, closed at the shoul- der with a high collar, or with a square1 neck. Both styles are good and both are correct, also the frock is good one for two materials and for one. In one view, plaid gabardine is shown over plain. In another plain linen is shown over a colored and the third frock is made of white serge throughout and 1t is just as pretty for one treatment as it is for the others and there are countless other ma- terials and other combinations that will suggest themselves. It is none too early to be thinking of the washable materials and how to make them. Linens and the like are charming. Ginghams are also pretty and there are other beautiful cotton fabrics. Plaid over plain is always pretty or plain or plaid over a stripe.
 For the I2 year size will be needed, 33l yards of material 27, 2z yards 36 or Al inches wide, for the blouse, 3 yards 27, ? A yards 36 or A, for the skirt and trimming.
 The pattern 8oo3 is cut in sizes for girls from to I4 years of age. 1t will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

Democratic War.

This is a democratic war. If 1t was not l should have nothing to do with it. I was opposed to the last war that England engaged in, but in the present war the future of democracy in the whole world is involved. It is final struggle between military autocracy and political liberty-a hideous con- flict but one wherein we shall be vic torious of that | am certain. The Central empires have lost their chance of victory and they know it. Great Britain is united for this war to such a point that, if there were general election, not a single anti-War mem Der would be elected.
 q forcsee no difficulty continued the minister, 'in connection with compulsion. No fewer than six mll- lion men came forward to enlist Some of them were unfit for service, others were acquired for tho munitions fac tories, for the railroads and for the mines. About SS0,000 men are af- fected by the compulsory service measure, but this number Is dimln- ishing through daily attestations.
 Never Give In.
 Do not be under any misapprehen- sion," Mr. Lloyd George is further quoted as saying. "Great Britain IS determined to push tho war to the end. We may make mistakes, but we never give in. 1t was British stubbornness which overthrow Napoleon after twenty years of war. Our allies then

MEN TAKE CARE! BEWARE!

Masqueraders for Cream.

For some days past, and maybe to.
day, there are two young women visit

Federal. State county and municipal
offices, masquerading as book agents
With apologies to Dick Dead Eye
in II. M. S. Pinafore it might be said
" Book Agents are not always what
they seem; Skim milk often n.asque-
rades for cream.
The young women in question
under the guise of selling books to
raise money to go to college. etc. ;,
ETC., etc have especially made it a
point to visit Offices where men are
engaged, soliciting money for their

WHEREFORE THE EXCITEMENT?
Information Published From Infallible
Source.

In Tuesdays Capital there appeared
a small item telling that Ensigns in.
Guiding Vincent" in the class of
1916 would be Lieutenants on and
after today, June 8.
The information came from the
Army-Navy Journal. June 8. Page
1896, the editorial page. Since the
Journal is highly reputable paper,
and not in the class with those that
make mistakes like the Capital) the
article was accepted as authentic
The only addition or change. made in
it was counting the names of graduates
including Vincent, which numbered
81, and the mineral 81 was used.
An explanation is not due from
this paper to anybody, but to lessen
the number of telephone calls in refer
ence to the matter, the Capital refers
