one thought was the salvation of
America and of world democracy.

many's militaristic party, which at

Thus in forceful form the British
premier, David Lloyd George has
summarized the situation in the world
war from the viewpoint of himself
as head of the British government and
of his colleagues.
The premier said it was folly to ex.
aggerate the situation created by the
events In Russia and the possibility of
the release of hundreds of thousands
OF the enemy to attack Great Britain,
France and Italy, but that If Russia
had decided to abandon the struggle
the American democracy was taking it
up. Germany, he added, was gambling
on the failure of the United States to
transport her army to Europe and the
future of the world depended on the
efforts of Great Britain and the United
