Premier in Fine Form.
Premier Lloyd George, always
forceful and epigrammatic, was never
in finer form and his ringing words
struck a responsive chord. There
We're toasts to the president of the
! United States and the king of England
! and wonderful display of rejoicing
! over the scaling of the bond of friend
| ship between the United States and
| England and France and the other al
| lies,
/ THE United States OF America
never has engaged in n war except for
] li,prtty ut
/ it has made up its mind finally makes
! this is a great fight for human lib
| erty."
! Again. he said: Prussia is not 4
! democracy the kaiser promises that
! 1t will be a democracy after the war
| think he is right"
/ Mr.. Lloyd George paid warm tribute
T TO France.
Warns Against Blunders.
| A remarkable feature of the pre-
micrs speech was his warning to the
| United States to avoid the blunders
! committed by the British. The grim
! humor of the British was we'll illus
| trated by Mr.. Lloyd George when, in
! voicng this warning. he said: we
! are a slow people-slow and blunder-
! ing, but we get there. We have made,
as we generally do, every blunder
! May | respectfully suggest that it is
worth a good deal to study our blum
| ders, so as to begin where we are
| now, not where we were three years
I ago?"
Ships to Win War.
The arrangements already under
! way for the building of ships by the
/ United States appealed strongly to the
| premier, who declared that the road
! to victory was to be found in the one
word ships" He expressed the be-
| lief that the Germans and their mill
! tary advisers were beginning to real
/ ize that was another of their miscal-
| culations, which would lead them to
disaster. OF Americas part in the
war the premier said:
IT was a bad day for the military
autocracy in Prussia when it chal-
! lengcd the great republic of the west.
/ We know America and we also know
! that now she has said it she will do 1t.
/ She will wage a strong and successful
war and there is something more inn
| portant, she will ensure a beneficient
peace.
Lloyd Georges Speech.
J Mr.. Lloyd George said in part:
Il am in the position, in the happy
position, of being, l think, the first
prime minister of the crown who
could salute the American nation as
comrades in arms l am glad not only
| because Of the stupendous resources
which this nation will bring to the
succor of the allies, but rejoice as q
democrat that the advent of the Unit
ed States into the war gives the final
stamp to the character of the conflict
as q struggle against military autoc-
raCy throughout the world. That was
the note that rang through the great
deliverance of President Wilson's.
The United States of America
never has engaged in a war except
