 Lloyd George, Prime Minister o l Great Britain made two speeches las
 week-one in Giasgo apd the othe
 in Dundee. In those speeches he sai
 that the Allies would win this wa With the help of American money an'
 American troops and he told the truth He also said that after the victor, had been won by our aid that Franc 1 should have Alsace-Lorrain, Polan'
 would be an autumnous state, Englan' would take all of the German coIonie in Africa; and England would hay 1 charge over and control of Mesopotam ia, Armenia, Palestine, Syria and al the Near East. Nothing said abo what poor Russia was to have. Ye this England is the same nation tha for over 100 years has prevented Russia from having an outlet to thu oceans. It is the same England tha combined with France and Turkey I prevented Russia in the Crimean wal l from reaping her reward by havins
 an entrance through the DaTdanelles. The same England, the same France ! the same Germany and the same Rus sia that sat supiney by and saw and Armenian Christians ravished and l butchered. AS ye SOW so shall ye reap" said the Almighty, and today those ma tions are reaping- We are furnishing money, food and men, and it is out duty when this war is over to see that the treaty of peace entered into is an honest and righteous peace for all mankind. It is not simply the winning of battles and the capturing of 1eets-but 1t is to see that at the end wise laws are established and national happiness.
 The Presidents Banner.
 Norwich did her duty in 1861 and you boys of Norwich will do your duty at the present time. The fact that you are from Norwich is sufficient. When Lincoln was chosen president and was on his way to Washington for his inaug uguration-he was present. ed in Chicago Febrary, 1861. by Abra Kohn. with a silk flag with this in scription on, taken from the 5th and sth verses of the 1st chapter of Josh ua: Have I not commanded thee b. strong and be of good courage. Be not afraid neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord our God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all she days of thy life. As l was with Moses so shall I be with thee. I will not fail thee nor frosake thee" Lincoln fought under that banner all through the Civil war. My boys I know you will do your full duty and if you. too fight under that banner you will surely be victorious
 You reHnen7ber the story how Jennie, the Scotch lassie, lay dying in the hospital at Lucknow, in that far off
 
 head upon her arm, and said to the sinking hearts of the English, T hear the baSpipeS, the Campbells are com ing" but they said, NO Jennie, 1t IS but a dream, and she said NO, No. I heard them. and soon the sound If the Pie brock broke upon their ears and in an hour the flag of England waved over Lucknow? So in the dim future I see the time when kings and queens shall.b be no nore-and when f1fI I7rc Te4l shall be the equal of his fellows, and every man shall sit down in peace under his own vine and under his own fig tree and war shall be no more
 Joseph T. Tanning spoke m part as follows:
 An elementary lesson which all have learned from this war is that il is the unexpected thing about it which is q Ways happening. In the course of its we have been forced again and again to realize that the customs peculiar to former wars cannot be re- lied on to furnish guidance to the sol diery of today The fancful prophecy of more than fifty years ago about the nations air navies grapplins in the central blue was hardly accepted at any time as a justifia bIe use of any form of poetic license; yet now scien- tists are committing themselves to the doctrine that the &irship is to be the chief instrumentaiity for shap- ing the war to it's conclusion. The boat, men fighting from -he trenches. the wholesale destruction ! administered by machine guns. chlorine gas substituted for the much more bullet. are the means of bear ng the death agony to thousands upon thousands of the allies. and while these -hings. if foretold ten years ago. would De regarded as the product of scxoe nadman's dream. they are today the realities which are to bring our be- i owed country to misery, un.ess the ] -igor and Valor of merican arms are | 0 be the shield and refuge of freedom I
 Listen. ye people within the sound I If my voice. and let the sound be re- | ayed to the limits of this community. 1!

The iurhblest of our people, compared with ther nations, have reached great eights of contentment and prosperity,
  'e taken from our peaceful condition ut that on account of the friendship cit for us by other nations, no people would wage war against us. But we must discard this belief and realize hat we are in a life and death struggle with the most powerful enemy that yer marched to war
