WITH AUTOCRACY
Premier Predicts German Chancellor
Will Soon ''Deliver q Different Speech
and That Is the One For Which We

Will Not Be Victorious Weapon.

London, July 21.-Premier Lloyd
George said today that the speech in
the Reichstag of DR.. Michaelis, the
new German chancellor, meant that If
Germany were victorious there would
be annexation all around and that the
military autocracy would be estab-
lished more firmly than ever. The
speech showed, the premier asserted,
that those in charge of affairs in Ger
many had for the moment made the
choice for war
I'VE can't make peace with a Ger
many dominated by a,utocracy", de-
clared Premier Lloyd George. '"The
war now becomes a struggle between
two definite groups Of national ideals.
Significant in this respect in the news
announced today of the accession Of
that brilliant Russian statesman, Ker-
ensky, to the leadership of Russian
democracy.
'I don't wish Germany to harbor.
any delusion," Mr.. Lloyd George con-
tinued, that Great Britain will be put
out of the fight until full liberty has
been established. I predict 1t will
not be long before the German cham
cellor delivers a different speech and
that is the one for which we are
waiting"
The premier said the statement of
DR.. Michaelis contained phrases which
will be understood by the military
powers Of Germany. Unless these
were wiped out. he added. they would
again plunge Europe into a welter OF
blood. ssrxSsss4 Is ~

George. IT see in It only sham inde-

cracy for Germany, sham peace for

Submarine DOSES Diminish.
At another point in his speech.
which was delivered in London, the
premier said:
Regarding the submarine menace I
must disagree with Chancellor Mich
aelis. Gradually, but surely, we are
Increasing our protection and dimin-
tshing our losses"
Speaking of the shipbutlding pro-
gram Lloyd George said Great Britain
this year would turn out four times as
many ships as last year.. In the last
two months Of 1917 as many ships
will be finished as in all Of 1916.
The chancellor's speech, Mr.. Lloyd
George said, offered no hope for Bel
GUM The determination Of the
Allies was that Belgium must be re-
stored as free and Independent
people, not German protectorate.
Mr.. Lloyd George said the food
supply for the 1s17-1s1s period had
already been secured and that pro-
gram of cultivation had been arranged
to make the supply for the following
year secure. even If losses increased.
In conclusion the premier said the
