Exhausted, Despite Subs.
TONE TO CHANGE SOON
Declares the German Chancellor
Will Soon Write Different
Speech, for Which AL
lies Are Waiting.

London, July 23.-Premier Lloyd
George said today that the speech IN
the reichstag of DIR. Michaelis, the new
German chancellor, meant that if Ger.
many were victorious there would be
annexation all around. and that the
military autocracy would be established
more firmly than ever. The speech
showed, the premier asserted, thai
those in charge of Germany's affairs
had for the moment made the choice
for war.
Three-Year Food Supply.
Mr.. Lloyd George said the foo sup
ply for the 1917-1S period had already
been secured and that a program OF
cultivation had been arranged to make
the supply for the following year Sc
sure. even if losses increased.
We can't make peace with Il Ger
many dominated by autocracy," de-
clared Mr.. Lloyd-George. "The wa,
now becomes a struggle between two
definite groups of national ideals,
Significant in this respect is the news
announced today of the accession OF
that brilliant Russian statesman,
Kerensky to the leadership Of Russian
democracy"
~ don't wish ermany to harbor any
delusion," Mr.. Lloyd-George continued,
that Great Britain will De put out OF
the fight until full liberty has been es.
tablished. i predict it will not be long
before the German chancellor delivers
a different speech, and that is the one
for which we are waiting"
The premier said the statement OF
DR.. Michaelist contained phrases which
would 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

was that Belgium must be restored as a

racy for Germany and han peace fol

AT another point in his speech, which
was delivered in London, the pri,niel
said:
Regarding the submarine menace

is. Gradually. but surely, we are in
creasing our protection and diminishing
our losses.
Speaking of the ship building pro
gram Mr.. Lloyd-George said Grea,
Britain this year would turn out fom
times as many ships as last year. LII
the last w months of 1917, as many
ships win be finished as in all of 1916
In conclusion the premier said the

the end, knowing that the future o.
mankind was in their trust to maintain

MINNESOTA TO STOP
IOWA BOOZE SUPPLY
Will Cancel Licenses of Saloons
Selling Liquor for Export
to This State.

Des Moines. Ia, July 23.-Attorney
General II. NJ. Havner is making great
efforts to stop the supply of liquor from
Minnesota into Iowa, making it ex-
ceedingly difficult to run the blockade.
Word has been received by Havner
that the state public safety commission
has just ruled in Minnesota that no
liquor may be sold to lowans for trans
portation. and saloons which violate
the order will have their licenses re-
yoked.
Last week a state agent, whose name
Havner refuses to divulge, went to the
Minnesota capital with a petition
signed by hundreds of Iowans asking
that the sale of Intoxicating liquor to
lowans for bringing back to this state
be prohibited.
The Minnesota commission was Gre
ated by the last assembly and has
power to prohibit the Hruor sales and
provide punishment.

has for months received plasters from
Wisconsin residents and asked for an
opinion. He said:

some confusion about the socalled lep-
rosy bacilli and 1t is not certain that
leprosy can be contracted through
these germs.
