Mr.. Lloyd George paid a tribute to
the financial community, through the
help of which. he said. British credit
had survived the financial panic Of the
early days of the war. This commu-
nifty, he said, took an honorable and
leading part in the triumph of the last
war loan, which was the most re-
markable financial exploit ever wit
messed. After alluding to the organ
ization Of the ministry Of munitions
the premier said:
Now. thank God, our men have q
real chance in the fight. The story
now is very different from what 1t
was In the early stages of the war. Be
fore June, 1915, we lost eighty-four
guns and considerable number of
prisoners. Since that date we have
not lost single gun, while we haye

Gains in Big Battles.

During the first eighteen days Of the
Somme battle we captared 1900 pris-
oners and s4 guns. During the first
eighteen days of the Arras battle our
captures were $4,000 men and 2S0 guns.
while We gained four times as much
ground. This meant not only ultimate
victory; it meant victory is going to be
won at less loss. and our chances are
growing as our equipment is improving,
and the Germans know 1t. That Is the
explanation of the despair which has
driven them to black piracy on the high
seas.
"This is the next job we have to deal
with. Our minimum problem Is to feed
a population OF 45.000,000 in country
which is not self-supporting. to pro-
