LONDRES, Julio 2S.-El primer
ministro b~ritanico, David Lloyd Geor-
&c. hablando en- un acto eminentemen
tie patriotico, celebrado con motive
del aniversario de Ia independence
de Belgica, dijo que el discourse del
| Canciller Michaelis no era mas q una
ficcion tendente a satisfacer a todos

ria que los alemanes "se f~orjasen
la illusion de que Ia Gran Bretaha Sc
~separaria de la lucha antes de que Ia
libertad estuviese rcstablecida en- to-
do ell mundo."
i Inglaterra solo puede hacer la paz
cor una Alemania libre, porque con
una Alemania dominada por la auto
cracia. I;jo Ell primer ministro, nunca
podra haber paz.
Los alemanes, manifesto, incurren
en- ell mismo error que cometieron en-
los comienzos de la guerra con respec
to a Inglaterra, al despreciar 2or in
| significantes los esfuerzos de los Es-
tados Unidos.
'Dijeron que no combatiriamos-

many matters relating to improve
ments and other subjects of interest.
Before adjournment one of the new
plans decided upon was that given to
Thomas McCaffery and ]. c. Daley,
resident trustee and superintendent of
the Union Printers Home, who were
authorized to purchase, in the name of
the association, the small strip of land
lying south and west of the Home.
The strip of land, which many people
have always considered as part of
the ground owned by the home, lies di-
rectly outside the entrance and has
been much sought after by local real
estate men. According to Marsden G.
Scott, president of the union and
chairman of the board of trustees for
the Home, the land will be cleared up
and made a part of the large lawn
leading from the street car tracks to
the Home. The addition of the new
land will complete the grounds owned
by the Home and make the line run en-
tirely to the car tracks on the west.
The newly purchased land comprises
a strip ninety-four by ITO feet.

added a new maximum war profits tax
rate of 60 per cent en- profits in ex-

in the bill was 80 per cent on profits
