PEACE TALK HIT
BY LlOYD.GEORGE
Premier Says il Russia Drops
Out America viii More Than
Fill Place.
ALLIES ON way TO VICTORY
Declares overtures to Germany Would
BE Betrayal Of the Peoples Trust
u. s. is Decisive
Factor.

London, Dec. 17.-"If this is the
worst moment IL Is because Russia
has stepped out and America is only
prepared to come In. Every hour that
passes will See the gap formed by the
retirement of the Russians filled by the
valiant sons of the great republic. Ger.
many knows 1t and Austria knows 1t,
are making to force the issue before
America is ready. They will not sue
ceed."
This was the concluding statement
Of Premier David Lloyd George in an
address at the dinner of the Grey's
Inn Benchers "a lawyers club).
Sees Victory Ahead.
That steady progress toward tht
desired goal was being made by the
allies, despite some untoward occur
rences, 1t was the firm conviction of
the premier, he declared.
Because of this fact, the premier
said, he would regard peace overtures
to Prussia ut the moment when her
military spirit was drunk with boast
fulness as u betrayal Of the trust of
himself and his colleagues. The pre-
mier's words we're:
1T Is because / am firmly convinced
that, despite some untoward events.
despite discouraging appearances, We
are making steady progress toward the
goal that | believe peace overtures
TO Prussia at the very moment the
Prussian military spirit Is drunk with
bOastfulness would be u betrayal Of
the peoples trust, the great trust with
which my colleagues and myself have
been charged"
Allies Face New Danger.
II Russia persists In her present pol
Icy, the premier pointed out, the with
drawal by the enemy from the east
Of third of his troops must release
hundreds of thousands of men and
masses of material to attack Great
Britain, France and Italy.
1T would be folly" he added, ito
underrate the danger; equal folly to
exaggerate 1t, and the greatest folly
of all not to face 1t.
"If the Russian democracy has de-
cided to abandon the struggle against
military autocracy. the American de-
mocracy is taking 1t up"
In Grip Of British Navy.
Germany's victories were emilia
zoned to the world, the premier said,
but her troubles did not appear In
bulletins. Something was known Of
them, however.
The deadly grip Of the British navy
was having Its effect, and the valor
of the troops was making an impress
sion which would tell In the end.
Mr.. LloydGeorge said he was glad
TO understand that Lord Lansdowne's
recent letter had been misunderstood
and that Lord Lansdowne was In
agreement with President Wilson.
81 Also" the premier declared
agree with President Wilson. and do
not desire TO force controversy
where none existed"

MAXWELL NONSTOP CAR
MAKES RECORD IN PEORIA
Veteran Automobile Travelled Over
Thirty -onc Miles on Gallon
OF Gasoline.

The famous Maxwell nonstop cham
pion Of the world has set another rec
ord in gasoline economy. Thirty-one
and one-tenth miles on n gallon of
gasoliEe That is the record made by
the veteran, which has Travelled more
than lSS,S27 miles Peoria, ILL.,, was
the scene OF the champions last glor-
ious record accomplishment.
This car made 22022 3 miles in Los
Angeles in the fail OF 1916. Since then
il has been wandering about the world
visiting Maxwell dealers The car Is
battered and worn, but is able 60
travel as well rs any automobile.
Accompanied by an official observer
Thos J. Grogan, of Peoria, the cham
pion started from the corner OF JEFF
ferson and Hamilton street at 10
O'Clock on September 80. There was
but one gallon of gasoline i'll the red
tank attached to the car. The car
looped the circuit for one hour and a
half. When the last drop of gasoline
burned the speedometer registered
