Held impossible Now.

Continuing his discussion of a league
of nations, Mr.. Lloyd George said it
could not be had by negotiated peace
at this time.
1T is idle to talk of security to be
won by such feeble MEANS, he as

Allies Progress Steady.

That steady progress toward the desired
goal is being made by the allies despite
some untoward occurrences, is the firm
conviction of Premier Lloyd George. The
premier's words were:
1T is because l am firmly convinced
that despite some untoward events, de-
spite discouraging appearances, we are
making steady progress toward the
goal that / would regard peace over

Calls for Great Sacrifices.
The premier said that call must be
made on the nation for great sacrifices,
and more fighting men were needed until
the American forces arrive to Offset the
burden that had been cast on the allies
by the detection of Russia and the re-
verses of Italy.
The allies now must defend all fronts

Germany's Troubles.

Germany's victories were emblazoned
