FIVE U-BOATS SUNK
BRITISH PREMIER TELLS COM
MONS OF ONE DAYS VICTORY
OVER SUBMARINES.
SAYS DIVER PERIL is ENDED
Lloyd George Defends Paris Speech
and Declares He Acted to Arouse
Pubic-Pershing Backs War
Council.

London, Nov. 21.-Five German SUD
marines were destroyed on Saturday
alone, Premier David Lloyd-George
| told the house of commons on Mon
day. The premier added that he had
no further fear of submarines.
These statements were made during
the debate in which Mr.. Lloyd-George
fought the fight of his political life.
The opposition against the premier
headed by former Prime Minister Her
bert 81. Asquith, apparently switched
it's plans since last weeks opening lire
on Mr.. Lloyd-George and, when MIR
Asquith summed up against his success
sor, he conferred his fire not so mucI
on the proposed supreme inter-allieo
war council, which it was feared would
change the British army system, as on
Lloyd-G Georges 'brutally frank" Paris
speech.
Responding, Mr.. Lloyd-George de-
clared his Paris speech was mot an
impuisive one."
ut was carefully considered and
W luG CdDlDClS lO S1NN~N
81 resolved to assume the risk in or.
der to arouse public sentiment, moi
merely here but in France, Italy and
America"
The new scheme had been launched
he declared, in an indictment or the
general strategy of the allies, on the
ground that it had been in several In
stances dilatory or misdirected.
Taking up Mr.. Lloyd-George's "bru-
tally frank" speech at Paris, he vigor'
ously criticized the premier's state
ment that the allies action toward
Serbia and .Roumania had been ian
ineffeccable blunder."
"Such a statement is unjust to the
allies statesmen and soldiers" he as
serted.
'The allies consultative machinery
has been inadequate and its effects
grievous," replied the premier, open
ing his defense.
AS far as he could gauge, public
opinion in America would have pre-,
ferred a council with executive pow
ers, but there were reasons why he
thought it undesirable to set up q
council with full executive authority
unless the allies were absolutely
driven to it by failure of the present
scheme.
General Pershing was among the
commanders who agreed to the coun,
Gil plan last July, the premier de-
clared. Others were General Foch OF
the French staff, Robertson (British)
and Cadorna Qtalian).

About Envelopes.

1t is said that envelopes were in
vented during the early days of Louis
XIV of France. In 1860 NJ. De Val
Iyer established a private post and
placed boxes at the corner Of the
streets for letters inclosed in envel-
opes that were sold in Offices estab-
ished for that purpose. 1t seems
likely, however, that envelopes were in
use before this period because envel-
opes so used in France were special
postpaid envelopes. But precisely
what year is marked by the first inven-
ton of envelopes is unknown.
