This tonnage available for the government will be left to sub sequent negotiations although the President has power to attain it if the tonnage is needed by the United States.

LLOYD GEORGE MAKES SPEECH ABOUT THE WAR Tells a Large Gathering Today in London That MiIitarism of Huns
 Must Be DOWned. VICTORY IS NOW NEAR War Must Be Eliminated from the Tragedies
 of Human Life of
 the World.

LONDON, Aug. 4.-Prime Minister Lloyd George in speech this after noon commemOrating the beginning of the foltrh year of the war said that victory must be so complete that the British national liberty must nev- CT be challenged again.
 Neither the Kaiser nor his Chan cellor," said the Prime Minister, would be satisfied with German soil when the war is over. They talk glibly about peace but stammer over the word restoration. They must learn to use the word restoration
 As Italian Foreign Minister Sonnino and other representatives of the Al lies reached the platform, the gather ing arose and cheered repeatedly, the bands playing the national anthem of all the Allies. This reused tre- mendous enthusiasm.
 Lloyd Georges appearance was the signal for remarkable manifesto tion of popular fervor.
 The premier asked in his speech what would have happened if the British had not entered the war.
 Europe would have been at the mercy of the cruel military powers; Russia would be disintegrated sooner and France would have fought brave ly but might have been overwhelmed and Americas Monroe Doctrine would have been treated as a scrap of pa per-" said the premier.
 we have checked the ambitions of Germany War is a ghastly busi- ness, but not so bad as the German peace. While they know their plot has miscarried this time the Prus- sian war lords have determined to succeed next time. There must be no next time This generation must eliminate war from the tragedies of human life. No one in Great Britain, France, Italy. Russia, or even Ger many and Austria, has any idea how near we are today to the summit of our hope"

CANADIAN LINES
 ADVANCE FREIGHT RATES TO NORTH
Ten Per Cent. Increase Is to Go into Effect Internationally on

SEATTLE, Aug. 4.-The Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk railway and steamship lines have sent the follow ing notice to shippers:
 "On account of the heavy increase in the operating expenses of the coast steamships a surcharge of ten per cent. will be added conditionally to all freight rates covering shipments between all ports on the British Col umbia coast routes between Seattle, Victoria. Vancouver and Prince Ru- pert and also between British Col umbia and southern Alaska ports"

Seattle Companies Greatly Concerned Over the Communicating
 of Steamers.
TO GO TO THE PACIFIC
Withdrawing of Steamers Would Permit Foreign Lines to Get the
 Big Traffic.

SEATTLE, Aug 4.--Local com panies operating vessels to Alaska are greatly concerned over the gov ,ernment's commandefrinS of vessels on the Pacific Coast for use in the service across the A tlaniic. s
 Seattie's' Alaska fleet is composed of small and medium small sized common freight and passenger steamships, ideally suited for the routes on which they are operated but not large enough for the trans Atlantic service.
 If the foreign ships are permitted to take II the coastwise routes in place of the American steamers, it is said, the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk System could en- ter the Seattle-Alaska passenger and freight trade in competition with the American ships and having cheaper operating expense, could get the cream of the traffic.
 Japanese and other foreign ships could enter the routes at will and the shippers would be disturbed be- cause the American steamship com panies furnish regular service be- tween here and Alaska which is ab solutely essential as Alaska is de- pendent on a fleet.
 If the foreign ships entered the Alaska trade, it is said, and the American ships dropped out, the foreigners might not maintain reg ularity and efficiency, as the Ameri- can lines are doing now.
