Brkenhead England, Sept. S.--Premiel
Lloyd George, speaking here yesterday
said that the news from Russia in the
last few days had not been good. III,
thought when the revolution came that
it would have the effect of postponinp
victory, but he had expected an earlier
recovery. However, through all we must
exercise patience" he added,
Mr. Lloyd George said that the Rus
sian leaders, all brave and patriotic men,
knew that the enemy attempt in the
Riga region involved the fate of the rev.
olution, the fruits of which they would
do their best to defend. Under fire, the
Russian leaders were repairing the ma
chine which had broken down, and he
was confident that in the end they would
succeed.
what | am concerned about most"
the premier went on, lis not the effect
which the failure of Russia would have
upon the war but the harmful effect it
would have on the cause of democracy
in the world"
1t took long time, said Mr.. Lloyd
George, for oppressed people to get ac-
customed to freedom, as it did for free
people to get accustomed to oppression.
"One thing gives me satisfaction he
continued, German attempts to SOW dis
sension between the allies East and the
allies West failed Germany only de-
cided to invade Russia with the sword
because all her other methods and mach
nations failed
The premier said he repudiated with
scorn the calumny that England was
responsible for the war.
England drew the sword in honor of
her pledged word" he declared. Far
from being respondent about the crisis
in the eastern theatre, Mr.. Lloyd George
said further, the people should look for
ward to Russia with hope, because she
would recover and play greater part
vet before the war was over in saving
the world from Prussian domination.
Ozark as may be the clouds in the |
Russian sky" he said. there is sun
shine on the banners of the allies in all |
other theatres of war Germany may |
boast of her victories in the East against |
forces, but she has her reply |
IN the success of the allies in the West, |
md especially the recent success of the
Italians.
america, who has now come into the
conflict, has never known defeat, and on
his occasion, too, she with her allies.
will triumph over her foe.
with all these reasons, | ask you to
,e of stout heart. There may be stony
PATHS to climb, but we will climb them.
)ur footpaths may be stained with blood,
nut we viii reach the heights and then
n front we win see the rich valleys and
,lains of the new world
He declared that the whole allied cause
md the freedom of the world depends on
at sea and that he is certain
will be maintained German states
men, he said, have been at great pains
o impress upon their people that the
ubmarine figures given out by him in
he House of Commons recently were in
ccurate. He declared these figures are D
bsolutely correct and that they put an
nd to all hopes of the enemy to win.
The premier asserted he is absolutely {
onvinced that the German submarine !
ever will be able to beat down the
trength of the British empire or to beat

all the efforts the Germans can make
