LONDON. June lin reply to the

for statement of.the British war
aims Great Britain has forwarded to
Petrograd note expressing hearty
acceptation and approval Of the prin.
ciples which President Wilson laid
down in his historic MESA ge to Cons
gress. The British Government be.
lleves, broadly speaking. that tho
agreements made from time to tins
with Great Britain's allies are con.
formable to these standards.
The purpose of Great Britain at the
outset. says the note, was to defena
the existence OF the country and en-
force respect for International agree.
ments. Since then there has been
added that Of "liberating populations
oppressed by alien tyranny" Tho note
bespeaks not only the liberation Of
Poland or Russia but Of that section
OF Poland within the dominions of tho
Germanic empires.
Text of the Reply.
Tie text OF Great Britain's reply Is
as follows:
in the proclamation to the Russian
people enclosed with the note. 1t is said
that free Russia does not purpose to
dominate other peoples or take from
them their national patrmony. or
forcibly occupy foreign territory. In this
sentiment ;he British Government
heartily concur. They did not enter the
war as war of conquest. they are not
continuing it for such object. Their pur-
pose at the outset was to defend the ex-
istence of their country and enforce re-
spect for international engagements. To
those objects have now been added that
of liberating populations oppressed by
alien tyranny.
They heartily rejoice. therefore. that
free Russia has announced her intention
of liberating Poland. not only Poland
ruled by the old Russian autocracy but
equally that within the dominion of tho
Germanic empires In this enterprise
the British democracy wish Russia
sodspeed.

PARIS. July rs - David Lloyd
George, the British premier today, gave
z breakfast to a number OF EDITORS oi
important French newspapers. during
which ne convcrscd fully with them on
the military situation and replied to
questions. The Temps this evening
gives a summary Of his talk.
100000 British Soldiers.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that Great
Britain now had between s,OOO,OOO and
S,yO0.OO soldiers enrolled without
counting between 100000 to 10000 be
longing to the navy or nearly a million
men from the dominions and colonies,
Great Britain has placed at the dis
posal Of her allies, he added, from j.
100000 to 100000 tons of merchant
ships. Next years building program
for merchant ships which already has
begun amounts TO 100000 tons or
twice as much as in a good year dur
ing peace time. Abiding to the cam
paith against submarines Mr., Lloyd
George said:
The dimunition of shipping losses IS
incontestible. 1t is impossible to aban-
don the subject without paying homage
to the aid given by the American navy
both regarding the organization OF ron
voys and by torpedo boat %destroyers
which have rendered an invaluable serv-
ice"
100000 In War Work. l.
Continuing Mr.. Lloyd George said
that 100000 women and children now
were engaged in war work in the
United Kingdom. More women could
be employed il the trades unions did
not fear the competition OF women after
the war, but other countries seemed
TO have experienced the same Difficult
ties. Ii could be said that at the
present time no English industry is
working for individual interests cx-
eept in agriculture.
Although the English people sincere
ly hoped the present war would be the
last war, Mr.. Lloyd George continued,
The country intended to avoid its pre-
vious error and in the future would be
able to support itself He said he rec
ognised that the latest news from Rus
'sia wa not good news, but that Rus
sia had already shown that she pos
sessed infinite and was the
land of the unexpected.

The annual congregational
meeting of the Presbyterian
church was a pleasing and pro
titable occasion.
The tables, forming a hollow
square on three sides, were very
attractive with white linen and
floral center pieces. A Towering
ornamental rose on a pedestal
added much to the decorations.
Rev. Murray was nominated

made from the different organiza-

all departments reported a good
balance.
The board of elders was in.

Mrs. Creation of New Rich

Jacobs, who is here on a visit, is
a little older than her brother,
but their birthdays fall on the

In honor OF the occasion, Mrs.
Jacobs aud the two daughters.
Misses Gladys and Myra, invited
a small company of friends for
dinner, which was certainly a
fitting close to the day and a
feast to remember. The large
birthday cake, surrounded by
candles mo matter as to the num-
bert was a sight for an epicure.
After the dinner all repaired to
the sitting room, where social
chat, enlivened with music, made
the time pass all too swiftly.
The company withdrew at "a
seasonable hour, wishing the
guests of honor many more hap
by anniversaries.
Among those who called dur
ing the day to offer congratula-
tions was Mrs. J G. Gorsuch,
who numbered both Mrs. Creator
and MIR. Jacobs among her pup
lis when she was young school
marin back in Wisconsin.
