Lloyd George Declares Vic
tory of Democracy is
Issue of War
ONE THING BRITISH
ARE FIGHTING FOR
The Press Considers Pope's
Peace Offer Most
Untimely

London, Aug, l6-"We are fighting foI
one thing, victory of democracy over ag
gression," declared Premier Lloyd Georg,
in an address to-day
His utterance was regarded as es
pecially significant in view of the peace
proposals from the pope
The premier was discussing the pro.
gramme of the labor party when ref
erenee to the tins of the allies was
made, but the restoration of the allied
basis of victory at this time was greet
ed as the governments informal answer
to the pope.
Lloyd George appeared at the Lib.
eral was committees luncheon to Pre-
mier Holman of New South Wales.
Adding to his statement Of what Eng
land is fighting for, he declared nothing
in the programme of labor is attainable
if the Allies should be beaten.
Under the heading "The Great Peace
Offensive" the Evening Standard this
afternoon says:
1T (the pope's appeall shows that Ger
many is working with might and main
to get peace before the full weight of
the United States is felt on the battle
field. The pope must be singularly i'll
informed as to the state of public feel
ing among the allies
The Westminster Gazette deprecates
the hasty assumption that the popes
appeal is the result of German in
trigue, but points out the futility of
such proposals so long as Germany APP
proves of the kaiser's declaration TO
former Ambassador Gerard that there
is mo longer any international law"
The Pail Mall Gazette asks; what
security is the allies to receive OF
the fulfillment of such terms mentioned
by the pope, SO long as Germany retains
the power to break treaties and her
long series of crimes go unpublished"
Characterizing the appeal as incompar
able folly, the Globe says:
"The foolish buzzings Of the Vatican
will provoke nothing but laughter and
The press comment Of to-day does not
show the resentment that appeared when
German peace feelrs came. 1t is pointed |
out, however, that immediate peace ne
yotiations are OF supreme Importance to
Germany.
Whether the allied nations reply di-
rectly depends on the nature of the com
If it calls for reply, an
answer may be made through speeches
before parliamentary bodies
If the allies finally and officially de-
,ide to reject or ignore the popes pro
1osals it is nevertheless realized much
work done in Russia during the past
may have to be done over again.
The peace appeal, it is feared, will
gain arouse the peace and pro-
Serman elements in Russia. The tire
ess work of Premier Kerensky is just
BEGINNING to bear fruit. The army has
'een fighting with commendable valor,
nd the recalcitrsnt elements have for
he moment been stilled.

STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers
no pain.

No bumbug! Any corn. whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without a particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is q
compound of ether discovered by a Gin
cinnatl man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of ~freezone, which will cost but
a trihe, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the sorenes disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corn or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when APPLYING it or
afterwards. If your druggist dom have
freezone have him order it for you. 8
