VICTORY CERTAIN, PREMIER lLLOYD==GEORGE DECLARES ]: SEES NO PEACE SIGNS YET
Enemy Is Trying to Rattle Our Nerves" He Tells Assemblage Unable to Predict Length of Struggle, But Peace Now Would Be Only Armed Truce and Would Result in Another War of Greater Horror.

London. Oct. 23.Premier Lloyd George gave notice yesterday to a world in arms that he sees no, signs of carly peace. He asserted in un- rnista1rable terms that the only agree4 mept which might be reached at this time would mean an armed truce H''end1ng. in an even more frightful struGg1eD He made it plain that a p~aca now without victory might lead to future horrors almost undreamed of%
 The Premier and the Chancellor Of the Exchequer, Andrew ~Bonar Law, were the principal speakers at a great 6emonsfration in Albert Hall to in- auGurate the autumn campaign for national economy. The pleas of both were directed toward retrenchment that win make it possible for Great Britain and her allies to attain a peace that will be lasting and that not only will afford opportunity to re- cover from the ravages of war but win guarantee forever the impossibil- | fty of another sucfr conflict. The hall was crowded, while on the | platform were many distinguish ed men. Including the Archbishop of \ tCanterbury. Gen., Shuts, the mem- bexs of the Cabinet, and the allied di. plomaks.
 The Premior. to whom a tremen- dozfs reception was accorded, said that | the magnitude of the enthusiastic | Rathering fin the fourth year of the f wGF was the best proof of the deter nafna4ion Of this coantry to prosecute the war until victory was achieved Tho cost of the war is gigantic, 1t was Iheavy today and would be heavy to- morrow,

self meant a saving of hundreds of thousands of tons.
 The valor of Great Britain would be enhanced enormously by the Equickening inspiration of righteous war Another solacing fact was that the gigantic debt would be a debt which Britains owed to themselves. as Great Britain was borrowing daily from her children. After drawing A comparison between the extraya- Fgances of war time and peace time and making plea for economy the Premier said.
 The way to shorten the war is to prepare as if the struggle were go- Ing to be a long one. I am not go- ing to predict when the end of the var will come-no man in his senses would .prolong it one hour if there were an opportunity for a real and lasting peace. But it must be a last ing peace. It must not be peace which would be the prelude to new and more devastating war 1 T have been scanning the horizon anxious1y and cannot see any terms in sight which would lead to an endurne peace. feel that the only terms which are possible now would be terms which would end in an armed truce I will say an armed truce ending in an ever more frightful struggle.

MUDDY MUNITION WILL
 RENDER RIFLES USELESS

Washington. Oct. 23 - Warning against the use of muddy ammunition in service rifles Is given in army or ders published today, based on the experience of American and other troops abroad. The order points out that the use of such ammunition is q natural tendency in trench warfare. but directs officers to demonstrate to their men the fact that the burnt mud left in the gun will soon render it use- less. Special wire brush breech sticks are to be issued to the troops to guard against this possibility where wet and muddy ammunition must be used.

APPROVE PLAN
Provide Policies for All
American Armed Forces
in War. ~.

Washington, June 2e.-onicials Of
life insurance companies. invited by
Secretary McAdoo to confer with him
next Monday on plans to insure Off
GERS and men in the naval and mill
tary forces. have shown great en-
thusiasm in the project in letters and
kilograms replying to the invitation.
Although department officials re-
fuse to discuss the proposals to be
laid before the conference it is known
that the administration is determined
that some form of insurance be given
to all Of Americas fighting men. It
is believed the companies may be
given an opportunity to form a COM
bination for war insurance. with the
cooperation Or backing Of the gov
eminent.
More than three and a half billions
of dollars in extreme liabilities would
have to be assumed if insurance were
granted to the 100000 men the
United States Ia have in the service
within two years.. with a minimum
policy Of $500.

COAL SIS PER ,
TON IN PARIS;
MUST Use GAS
Small Amounts Cannot be
Purchased at all-Coal I'm
portation has Fallen Off.

Paris, June "a housewife in
Paris cannot buy a 60-pound sack Of
coal at n price, but large CONSUME
ers have been obtaining it in lots OF
from W to ten tons at SIS a ton.
This situation was disclosed in the de-
bate in the Chamber Of Deputies on
the economic situation. It is. attrib-
uted to facilities afforded for specu-
lation by the licenses through which
the government hoped to regulate the
traffic.
The licenses acquired at once a
trading value that was put to profit
by people who had had any,
Dressmakers, lawyers, society men,
commission merchants of all kinds.
dealt in these licenses, each one taxi
ing as big a profit as he could get In
passing it to the next buyer.
Maurice Viollette, Minister Of Pro.
visions. cited a typical case. The price
Of coal originally bought at $36 a ton
went to SIC a ton by passing through
the hands of six Intermediates. none
of whom had anything to do with the
coal business before this license was
issued.
NJ. Brunei, Deputy from Paris, cited
a nsum who was able to buy ten
tons of coal, a five years supply, while
tenants of the same building could not
obtain enough to cook a meal and
were obliged to use gas. These facts
have so impressed the public said
NJ. Brunei, that people Of very mod
crate ideas have declared to tao
authorities that If the situation con-
tinues it means revolution"
The Minister of Provisions has de-
cided to issue nc licenses to import
ers who were not regular dealers be-
fore the war, and proposes a law
furnishing speculation in coal by fines
and imprisonment.
Trading has gone on not only in
importation licenses but in options for
the purchase Of ships. One concern
pretending to have options on 60
vessels was asked for a statement OF
its affairs. It's real capital was found
to be $50. The Minister declared that
this traffic had been stopped.
The rate of coal importation which
had improved in January. February
and March, has been affected by the
submarine campaign and gone down
to 100000 tons a month below last
years figures. Extraordinary efforts
are being made to increase the pro-
duction of French mines and thus re-
assure the population as to the sit
uatiOn his coming winter.
