i ONDON, December Is -
- ASSOCIATED Press)-Steady
Progress by the Allies toward the
much desired goal was asserted
by Lloyd George yesterday in
speech before the house of COM
mons but at the same time he
called upon the country to inn
recognize the need for
retrenchment and to act upon
that recognition. Winning of the
war is matter Of tonnage and
ships now, he said. He took occa-
sion to express himself clearly
and decisively upon the possible
ity of separate peace made by
Russia and how such action on
the part OF Russians would be re-
garded. ..". j.
I. GERMANS ARROGANT -
Despite recent untoward oc-
currences l hold the. conviction
that we and our allies are pro-
crossing towards our much to be
desired goal" said the premier.
Because of this fact 1 should re-
gard actual peace offers by Rus
STA at this time, when the Ger
mans are still drunk with the
spirit of war and are still arro-
gantly boastful, as an absolute
betrayal of the trust which we
and our colleagues and our other
allies have placed in them.
German Victories" he contin-
ued, "are blazoned to the world
but their troubles have not APP
peared in any Of their bulletins.
POWER is FELT
"The deadly grip of the British
navy is having its certain effect.
The valor of our troops is max Il
ing its impression. But | want
to warn the nation to watch the
man who thinks that there is any
halfway house between victory
and defeat. There is none and.
there can be none.
"Nictory has resolved itself in
to a question Of tonnage. With
that tonnage we can and will win
and we shall have the tonnage"
MUST RETRENCH
He declared hat the nation
must continue to rctrench and if
occasion demanded must make
still further retrenChments. IN
less this be done there must be
greater than ever sacrifices Of the
fighting men of the country and
its allies.

AMERICAN ARMY WILL NOT USE
TINE H0N0RED OFFICERS SWORD

Washington, Aug. 2S.--The ira
ditlonal sword will not clank at the
heels OF American army officers In
France. This is the first time in
American history the officers sword
has been abandoned In battle.
The French and British banned
swords for their officers during the
first year of the war. America, now
In, follows suit by official order OF
the war department.
The reason is simple and sutfi-
cient.
During the frst year of the war
French and British officers were
easily distinguishable from their
men by their swords, uniforms and
insignia and the Boche sharpshoot-
ers concentrated their fire on them
with deadly effect,
The idea ever since has been to
make commanding officers look as
much like enlisted men as possible,
n you happen along the front In
France and met General ,Halg, COM
nander-in-chlef OF the British field
forces, YOU couldn't tell him from
a private until you got close enough
to shake hands with him.
The insignia OF French, British
and American officers on the western
front now cannot be seen farther
away than the whites OF their eyes.
They wear the same service uni
forms and carry the same arms as
