LONDON, April 27.-Lloyd George delivered a very optimistic speech before the Guildhall this afternoon. Victory was looming in- creasingly nearer and 1t would not surprise him if it came earlier than was expected.

GEORGE SAYS VICTORY
 IS LOOMING UP

Before June 1915, said the Prime Minister, Great Britain lost eighty four guns and a number of men were taken prisoners. Since that time they had not lost one gun in had captured four hundred enemy guns and had taken ten of the enemy prisoners for every British soldier taken. That was the record of the new army and it was no wonder all the nation was proud of it.

NEW YORK, April 27.-There is a covert belief here that Gerard was speaking for Wilson when he de- nounced the opposition to conscrip- tion upon the part of Speaker Clarke declaring that Clarke suffered from "constitutional cold feet" in the matter and asserting that he De- lieved some beneficient policy saved the Amercan people from putting forward this Clarke type of states

 On account of the tremendous influence exertcd by the companies in the county, it is almost imposs- ible to get a detail of all the facts leading up to the mine explosion whose seriousness is now dwarfcd by the terrific fire blazing in the bowels of the mine.

SEATTLE, April 27.-Logan Billingsley in letter to the Daily Star today, Seattle. announced that he would surrender himself at a prominent corner at two o'clock, to- morrow Saturday afternoon. He said that later he would tell how he escaped and the story would be a true one. Since his escape Logan said that he had determined to serve his term of thirteen months and then lead straight and for ward life ever afterwards.
 The publication of the letter has created no end of sensation and it is freely asserted that the man was aided in making his getaway by some of the officials who were a party to his confession alleging the discrimination of Gill and the rest ot the municipal officials.

 That Gerard is politically ambiti- ous is a fact known to everyone, hence the advisability of his keeping in the public eye.

thentic reports that the Russians have been fleeing are increasing. These dispatches say that the deter imitation to continue the war has halted this stampede. The army was reported to be wavering, but finally has repledged itself to con- tinue the war.
 Very little real information is leaking out of Russia, and there seems to be a stricter censorship on reliable news even now than during the regime of the bureaucracy.

She had an impulse to skirt the bay

saw nothing at first. But the sound
was repeated at odd intervals. She sat
still. Thoughts OF forest animals slip

afraid. At last she caught sight of
man striding through the timber, sound

straight toward her.
