verge Of what he had dreamed and
longed for for years-taking his gospel
of antirum, hell-fre preaching to the
Ave and q half million people OF the
metropolis. According to the reporters
he prayed openly and audibiy: "Oh,
God, give me strength to do thy will
in this mighty city"
A couple Of minutes before he had
been talking OF the work that was
before him.

many dominated by autocracy." de-
clared Mr.. Lloyd-George. The war
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"
Il don't wish Germany to harbor n
delusion," Mr.. Lloyd-George continued,
that Great Britain will be put out of

tablished. l predict 1T will not be long
before the German chancellor delivers

for which we are waiting"

ships will be finished as in all of 1916.
In conclusion the premier said the

the end, knowing that he future of
mankind was in their trust to maintain
and defend.
