WORLD CONQUEST AMBITIONS CHECKED, GERMANY TO LEARN
 MEANING OF TRANSFORMATION"
Republican A. P. Leased Wlre1

LONDON, Aug. 4.-Premier David Lloyd George, just returned from en- tente allied conferences, speaking to- day at great patriotic meeting in the 1 Queens Hall to mark the third anni- versary of the war declared that Ger man ambitions for world conquest had been checked and that before Great Britain enters a peace conference the Germans must learn the full meaning of the word Restoration" and 'learn to utter that word to begin with"
 Challenging the good faith of the German emperor and chancellor Mich aels in their peace talk, which he de- nounced as a subterfuge for the Prus- sian war lords to gain time for the next time, the premier shouted:
 There must be no next time. Don't let us repeat this horror!
 Let us be a generation that man. fully, courageously and resolutely elim- mated war from amongst the tragedies of human life. Let us make victory at any rate, so complete that national lib- erty whether for great nations or for small nations, can never be challenged. "The nations of the world have been climbing painfully up the steps that led to national independence and now comes a great power with brute IOTce lp lllIuSl IDe 1dlloilS tldtth crushed and bleeding into the chasm of servitude. That is what we have been fighting"
 Replying to the German emperor's assertion that Germany is carrying on a defensive war, Premier Lloyd George said:
 1 "He- knows, he must know, that that
 is untrue. That is not why he went to war; that is not why he is at war now. He talks modestly about defend ing German soil. Whoever wanted to invade Germany? Even now neither he or his new chancellor says that l they will be satisfied with German soil. They talk glibly of peace, but stam- mer and stutter when they come to
 the word Restoration. It has not yet crossed their lips in its entirety. We have challenged them. They cannot say it.
 "What do they mean. do they mean peace when they talk it?" the premier asked He had followed every line they uttered watched their newspa- pers and the truth is, Prussian war
 lords have not yet abandoned their ! ambitions. They are not discussing that. They are only discussing the postponement of these ambitions.p Premier Lloyd George said there were people who would introduce dis integrating methods in the British ar my and set up committees to direct the war
 "The nation has set up its own workmen's and soldiers council and that is the house of commons he said. The premier implored all Britons to keep their eyes steadily on winning the war After describing the pan-German dream of world conquest which he said would place Europe at the mercy of great and cruel power, he asked: What would have happened in Amer | ica? The Monroe doctrine would have been treated like any other scrap of 1 paper It is doctrine to whcih Ger many never will subscribe-not the 1 fact that she has not appended her 1 signature makes any difference. But
 we know her ambitions in South l America. Not a year after the termi-
 nation of this peace would have elapsed | before she would have started realizing those ambitions, and America would
 have been helpless.
 i "The allied powers from the first moment felt instinctively that a great menace to human liberty had appeared | on the horizon and without delay all accepted the challenge. America fully ] realizes why we did so and she is with
 us for that reason.
 At the conclusion of the premier S speech, the meeting passed unanimous
 ly a resolution recording Its inflexible 1 determination to continue to a victor
 ious end. the struggle for the mainten-
 ance of those ideals of liberty and jus
 tice which are the common and sacred cause of the allies"
 What are the allies fighting for7" asked the premier They are fight
 ing to defeat the most dangerous com
 spiracy ever plotted against the liberty
 of nations. The meeting of the repre-
 sentatives of the central powers or
 July 5 1914, when the train for wal
 was fired. was one of the most sinister
 episodes in the history of human brig
 adange.
 "What would have happened if Great
 Britain had not entered the war? What would have happened if our great navy
 had not been there to keep the seas
 What would have happened if we haC
 not been there to keep the ring aDC
 sea a certain measure of fair play 1 What would have happened if we would
 not have realised huge armies to con
 front the German legions? If you follow these questions ou you will find that Russia's democrati
 zation and disintegration would hav' ; taken place before it did. The gallan l armies of France might have beel overwhelmed.
 What kind of peace would they ha' } then? It would not have been a peace f it would have been conquest; a sub
