Believe LIoyd-Georee Had Pope in
Mind in Anti-Peace Interview.

Rome, Sept. 3O.-''A proper reply to
Germany in view of Bethmann-Holl-
wegs speech" was the Gioranle
Lioyd-George's statement to the Unit
ed Press that England was determined
10 carry the war to a - knockout" All
the Italian newspapers joined with Of
ficials in enthusiastically approving
the British war secretary's declara-
lions.
The Lloyd-George interview was in
terpreted here as a special warning to
the United States not to make peace
overtureS at the present time. 1t IS
thought possibly this warning was in
spired by reports that Ambassador
Gerard was carrying to Washington Il
request from Germany that President
Wilson sound out the belligerents on
peace.
At the same time it is believed that
Lloyd- George had the Vatican in mind
when he made mis- pronouncement.
