Lloyd George Makes Another
Speech in Which He Re-
minds People Of Objects Of
the Struggle,
GERMAN ARMIES ARE
DRIVEN OUT OF OPEN
Kaiser's MinionS No Longer
Dare to Fight in Field, but
Seek Refuge Underground,
Premier Says.

Dundee, June 30.-"We have driven
the great army of Germany under
ground" said Premier Lloyd George
in a speech here today When
great army is driven to these tactics
it is the beginning of the end; it
means that we are pounding sense
of inferiority into every pore of the
German military mind.
'It is good fofr the war, even better
for after the war. As long as the
Prussians have an idea of superiority
in their minds Europe will not be a
decent place for people to live in
peace. 1t will be easier after this"
The Prussian. said Mr.. Lloyd
George, has many virtues but sense
Of humility has never been among
them. The premier added that the
tue of humility with fierce and re-
lentless lash.
No Privations in England.
Speaking of the sacrifices the peo-
pie had been called on to make in the
war, Lloyd George said there had
been no privations in this country
thus far and that while there were
privations in Germany and Austria
those countr es were still fighting
The restriction of horse racing, the
premier said, was entirely question
of the extent to which it could be per-
mitted without interfering with the
work of the war.
Anything beyond that would be ir-
rtating and mischievous, anything
short of it inadequate to meet the
case.
IF you apply those principles to
the question of drink" he continued.
you will find that it will work out
all right. No man in his senses would
sacrifice the food of the country for
any drink, however alluring it may
be-"
Condemns "Profitecring."
One condition which the country
was entitled to ask from the govern.
ment, the premier continued, was that
1t would not permit the burdens Of
the country to be increased by what
was called profiteering as distinct
In peace; in war, 1t was an outrage.
That was why the government had
taken action to restrict profit and pro-
posed to deal drastically with profit
eering in food.
Another condition which the peo-
pie were entitled to- expect Mr. Lloyd
George went on, was that food must
ha oI,
pie. Present prices were largely de-
pendent on prices over which the gov
ernment had no control in America
and elsewhere, but steps such as were
within its power had been taken by
the government to keep the prices of
food within bounds The government
would even go to the extent Of re-
sorting to the exchequer in order to
see any rate that the price of bread
was within the compass of the bulk
of the people. The premier said the
people must not shirk under the bur-
den of the struggle, but lift their eyes
to Great Britain's purpose, which was
clearer than ever. He continued:
objects OF the War.
we are lighting lot tne tights OF
men and women and we will win. 7
always knew the struggle would be
prolonged one and made plans on
that presumption, but with continuous
persistence we shall win."
The premier alluded to the attitude
which the Germans adopted in 1870
II, when Alsace and Lorraine
those French provinces were
dragged from France" and contin.
ued:
THE doctrine OF 1870 is the doc
trine Of today and 1t is the doctrine
we are fighting for. So it is with It.

her people, and also with the Poles.
who want to resume the breadth of
their national independence. 1t is
our will that they shall. And so 1t

That is what we are fighting"
