 AS WAR PROGRESSES
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1-

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Premer Lloyd George and the chancellor of the ex- cheQuer, Andrew Bonar Law, were the principal speakers al an imposing dem Onstration in Albert Hall this afternoon 10 inaugurate the autumn campaign for national economy. The hall was crowded while on the platform were many dis
 inguished men, including the Arch bishop of Canterbury, General Shuts, the members of the cabinet and the al lied diplomats.
 The premier, who was given q tre mendous reception, declared that the magnitude of the enthusiasm gathering in the fourth year of the war was the best proof of the determination of this country to prosecute the war until vic tory was achieved.
 The cost of the war was gigantic; it was heavy today and would be heavy tomorrow
 One hundred and twenty thousand workers on war savings cOmmittees-a fine army-were doing splendid work and he thanked them for their labors in connection with the last war loan, which had been most successful, and also in connection with the food econ omy campaign, which had resulted in saving in food supplies of from five to seven per cent. That in itself, meant a saving of hundreds of thousands of tons.
 After drawing a comparison be- tween the eXtraVaganceS of war time and peace time and making plea for economy, the premier said:
 "The way to shorten the war is to prepare as if the struggle were going to be a long one. 1 am not going to predict when the end of the war will come-no man in his senses would pro long it one hour if there were an op- portunity for real and lasting peace. But it must be q lasting peace. It must not be peace which would be the prelude to a new and more devas tating war
 q have been scanning the horizon anxiously and cannot see any terms in sight which would lead to an enduring peace.
 ''I feel that the only terms which are possible now would be terms which would end in an armed truce. ill say an armed truce ending in an even more frightful struggle.
 This war is terrible beyond all. But terrible as it is in itself. it IS still more terrible in the possibilities which has revealed of new horrors on laind and sea and in the air
 .I ask those who are pressing should there be any-for premature peace to reflect for a moment what might happen if We made an unsatls- factory -settlement-all the best sclen- tific brains in the lands. stimulated by naional rivalry. national hatred, na- lionl hope, devoting their energies for 10, 20, 30 years to magnify the destruct- i've powers of these horrible agents, whose power is only just disclosed. We must settle this once for all. Germany, in my opinion, would only make peace now on terms en- abling her to benefit by the War. That would mean that Germany would profit by her own wicked venture, and it would be an encouragement for any
 uccaneering empire in the future to repeat the experiment.
 .'Napoleon's failure taught France lesson she never forgot. similar les son must be burned into the hearts and memories of every Prussian be fore this war is done with. 1t is not a question of territorial establishment or indemnties, but pre- eminenttly d question of the destruc- tion of false ideal which has in timidated and enslaved Europe. or would have done so had It been tri- | dmphant."
 After reference to the postpone ment of the hopes of a decision this year owing to the temporary collapse of Russia, the premiar continued: There was moment when time was d doubtful and dangerous ne tral, rather disposed to favor our foes. Two things have changed that. The | first is the advent of America, whose resources and man power are twice | as considerable as Great Britains. They are throwing the whole of their volcanic entry into preparing for the conflict"
 1 Then referring to the second factor, , the dwindling power of the submarine warfare, the premier announced the | losses of German submarines. More than twice as many German submarines were lost in the first ten
 months of this year as in all of last year, the premier asserted. The Eng l ol ,sxt
