Interest in war operations was
largely swept aside today, attcn-
ton on all sides centering ON tho
speech of Premier David Lloyd
George In the British house OF
commons, which was expected to
state the British attitude toward
the peace proposals Of the central
powers as well as outline the gov
ernnent's general policy.
The military developments the
past twenty -four hours have In
fact been few In number and un-
important for tho most part.
In France. on tho verdun front.
there have been only lombard
ments since the French attack Of
yesterday. which Paris reports an
winning back the Chamhrottos

Denied Only Acceptable Terms.
The speech of Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg was characterized by
Mr.. Lloyd George as Constituting in
substance q denial Of the only terms
on which peace was possible.
Premier Lloyd George announced it
had been decided to give recognition
to the agents of Former Premier
Venizelos of Greece. Dealing with the
war situation, the premier said he had
to paint a stern but not gloomy pic
ture. The Roumanian blunder was an
unfortunate one, but at the worst 1t
only prolonead the war and could not
affect it, 1T might have salutary
effect he continued, in calling the at
tention Of the allies to obvious defects
Of organization. To prevent the Rou-
manian situation from becoming worse
they had taken strong action. In
Greece they were taking no risks.
They had decided to recognize the
agents of former Premier Venizelos.
Speaking of the western front, Mr..
Lloyd George referred to the growth
of the British armies there and con-
tinued:
Il am convinced ultimate victory Is
sure if the nation shows the same
spirit of endurance and readiness to
learn as the mud stained armies at
the front.'%s
TO Avoid Controversial Questions.
Turning to the more purely political
OF the domestic problems before the
new ministry. Mr.. Lloyd George said;
I'VE are anxious to avoid all con-
troversial questions. The functions OF
premier and I'D lea der of the house OF
commons have been separated because
it was believed the double tasks were
too much for one man. The organlza
tion of the new cabinet is best adopted
for the purpose Of war. In war YOU
want prompt decision and the allies
have suffered disaster after disaster
from tardiness Of decision.
Premier Lloyd George said the time
had come when the dominions should
be consulted more formally as to the
war. An imperial conference would be
summoned at an early date to discuss
vital questions.
The premier said he was convinced
the Irish Question was misunder-
standing and that he hoped this ms,
understanding would De removes.

added, would be great war measune' meas
