Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel lloyd George Statement

LONDON, Dec. 20.-"If we could project ourselves into the year 1000 what would be the opinion of many of the events of today?" asked the premier. No doubt the Russian revo- lutiOn would hold a conspicuous place. Another feature would be the advent of America, for the first time, not into the war, but into world politics-a gi- gantic event of itself. The next event would be the conquest of Mesopotamia and Palestine and the release of Arabia from the domain of Turkey. Another event would be the setting up of the in- ter-allied council"
 The premier said that this council would be discussed, and decided ques- tions which would have a greater eff feet on international relations than anyone could imagine. So far 1t had been conspicuous success; it had been free from factional feeling and had helped to remove friction. The various countries have found that it means the removal of friction in dis cussing and interchanging views. and he had no doubt it would have a great influence in the direction of the eco- homie policy of the four governments represented. The ministry established eNI tA oeiAlNo NOu1o uNC eL POlCilL AAl- fluence in unifying the war and eco- homie strategy of the allies
 The necessity of sending troops to Italy and the Russian armistice, the premier said had increased the anxie- tiec of the allies, and cast further ob- legations on them.
 Tt is therefore absolutely necessary T he declared, for the security of our armies and our country and for the defense of our allies that this country should make greater sacrifices in order to strengthen the armies in the field during the coming year"
 The pledges given to labor in 1916 regarding men exempted, he added would either have to be altered or cancelled and Sir Aucklan Geddes, min ister of national service, had called a conference for next week to consider the matter.
 Another circumstance which i'm pelled the government to make fur ther demand upon the man power o1 the country was that under present conditions they had been forced tC send men back to the fighting line who had been repeatedly wounded That was unfair and intolerable while there were men who had never beer at the front.
 As to future prospects, continued tho premier, one great power had practi. cally got out of the war and another great power had not fully come in, anC therefore the burden on Britain would be considerable.
 But we must not imagine that the enemy has not hao nls difficulties, | he said. We had proof of that the other day when facts were given to u. as to the deteriorated physical ability of the German workers as result O | the blockade imposed by the British navy. The German workers have s( deteriorated that the output of Ger
 many per man has gone down by some thing like 33 per cent. compared witl | the first year of the war.
 What are the prospects," asked tn
 premier.
 Frances losses, no doubt, have beel serious. Despite the reverses whicl Italy has endured, their losses are no
 to be compared with those of Austria
 and despite the losses inflicted on us (Continued on Page Five)

ADD 900. MEMBERS. IN DRIVE.

Phoenix Chapter of the American Red Cross during the first of the four days of its intensive drive for mem- bers, yesterday added 800 people to the mercy roll This is an average of about 100 for each of the nine mem- bership booths in the down town dist rict Some exceeded this number and some fell short.
 The plan here is to concentrate the membership drive on the four days, only, yesterday, today. Saturday and Monday. The first kay's result justi- fies the plan, for success seems almost certain.
 There was rousing meeting at Mesa last evening in the opera house at which Roy Goodrich. John D. Loper and Attorney B. k. Marks gave inter esting talks. As a result of this meet ing a committee composed of Dan Hib- bert. Elisha Allen and the Rev. Francis Bloy was named to take charge of an intensive drive in the enterprising Gate City. It was decided not to elect off cers for the Mesa branch until after the drive so as to give the many new members sure to be added, voice in their selection.
 Phoenix chapter hopes to add 5000 to its membership of 1,500. If it can maintain the speed set yesterday ii will reach the mark and pass it and once again the section will have justi- fled it's national reputation for response to patriotic impulse.
