GEORGE
 SAYS NO PEACE
 IN SIGHT YET
Only Possible Terms Armed Truce Which Would Would Mean Fright
 full Struggle.
ENCOURAGE WAR SPIRIT

LONDON, Oct. 22. = T have scanned the horizon intently, said Lloyd George today to The Associ- ated Press, "and can see no terms in sight which will lead to endur- ing peace. The only terms now possible mean armed truce, ending in a more frightful struggle"
 He said that the enemy would make peace now on terms only en- abling her to benefit by war, and asserted that such action would en- courage every buccaneering empire in the future to repeat the experi- ment.
 Over twice as many German sub- marines were lost in the first ten months this year than during all of last year. The British tonnage lost now monthly IS not much more than a third of the total destroy. ed last April.
 The Premier said the Allies had hoped the enemy's terrible strength might be broken this year. The tenn. porary collapse of Russia, he said, postponed this hope. He said time was now on the side of the Allies that time was once neutral, but two things had changed this, namely the advent of America into the war and the failure of the German sub- marine warfare.

(By JACK vEIOCK, International News
Sports Editor.)
Hugo Bezdek has man.slzed job
on his mitts as manager Of the Pirates.
It Is no cinch to take hold Of a tall
end team In midseason and pump 1t
full Of life and pepper, but this is the
task Bezdek has tackled, and he may
surprise the critics by making good
with vim.
There IRE always few Joy killers

low who takes the reins as manager
Of losing ball club. He gets about
as much encouragement as the allies
are giving Won Hlndenburg these days,
and II he Is one of the kind who can
be discouraged easily he has about us
much chance Of getting by as snow
ball In n pot of boiling oil.
The Pirate managerial Job this year
looks just about us big as ull outdoors,
and the material Bezdek inherited
when he took the wheel was not cal
culuted to bring Joy to any managers
heart. But Bezdek did not hesitate
when the berth was offered to him.

baseball, and II the Pirate owners will
stand behind Bezdek he may be the
man for the permanent Job. Who
knows?
Look at the case of Lee Foil. Lee
was appointed manager Of the Cleve-
land Indians to finish out a bad season.
No one thought he would stick as pilot
Of the club. But he's still there, and
he has had the Indians In the lime
light ever since the owners of the club
got behind him and handed him moral
and financial support.
One of the main troubles with the
Pirates was the fact that they began
playing ragged and often listless base
ball, as soon as they found out that
they didn't have the stride' necessary
to keep them In the pennant race. They
were discouraged, and Callahan was
discouraged, too. So the club was not
really doing It's best.
Bezdek gained some valuable eX.
perience in the handling of men as a
baseball and football coach, and he
has studied players as n scout for the
Pittsburgh club. His fighting qualities
were trained during his football days
with the University of Chicago, and
while he wore the Maroon he was one
of the greatest backs the Windy City
school ever turned out.
