LONDON, July 21-The British prime minister, David Lloyd George, speaking at a great patriotic demonstration in Queens hall this afternoon in com memoration of Belgian Independence Day" characterized the speech of the German chancellor, Dr. Georg Michaelis, as a mere sham and declared that he did not want the Germans ito harb0r any delusions that they are going to put Great Britain out of this fight until liberty has been re- established through out the world
 Great brllaIn could make peace with a free Germany. but with a Germany dominated by autocracy, declared the premier, there never could be peace
 The Germans, said the premier, were making the same mistake in under estimating Americas efforts in the war as they had made about Great Britain at the beginning
 "They said that we would not fight" continued MT. Lloyd George, and if we did, we could not. We had no army and couldn't raise one. and they need not worry about Britain. l think they have discovered their mistake about us, and they are now just going through Inv sonIe process with America
 T " ant to put this to them: Great Britain, not very large country, While she Is maintaining anu equlppng and even building up equipment for an army of millions affected and in re- serve in full fighting array: while she is maintaining the largest navy in the world, can organize in third year of all eXhausting war to turn out millions of tons of new shipping; is America, with twice the population of this country, with endless natural resources, going to be beaten merely because she puts forth no effort? The man who talks like that knows not America; otherwise he would not say it.'
 Referring directly to the German chancellor sneerng remark that America has no ships and no army and that when America has an army it will have no ships to bring them across the sea, the premier said:
 lie knows Amel4ca just as little as the Germans knew Great Britain"
 Far from being starved by the U- boats, MT. Lloyd George declared Great Britain's food supply for 1917-1S was already secured, production was in creasing and losses at sea were dimin- ishing. He had sought in the chancel- lor's speech for something Which he could hope for the ending of the bloody struggle.
 But" he dec .ared q see in it a sham independence for Belgium, sham democracy for GermAny, a sham peace for Europe, and l say that Europe has not sacrificed millions of her gallant sons to set up a sanctuary for sham. MT. Lloyd George asked what hope there was in the chancellor's speech of peace.
 T mean an honorable peace which is 1 the only possible peace" he said. Tt is i dexterous speech, a facing all ways ! speech. There are phrases for those who earnestly desire peace, many oi i them, but there are phrases which the military powers of Germany will un- ] derstand, phrases making the frontier. | of Germany secure.
 That's the phrase which annexed i Continued on Page Five)

 BISBEE, Ariz.. July 21-Interest has shifted from the local strike situation to the situation in the Globe Miami district where the strike is said to be 100 per cent effective. Miners and bus mess men coming here from Globe and Miami reported that the feeling be- tween the strikers and operators and the Loyalty League was gradually growing more bitter and one business man predicted an open break should the United States troops be withdrawn from that district August 1 as an- nounced from Washington in a com munication to Governor Campbell. He says the I. w. w. movement has been growing in the Globe Miami district and has practically overshadowed the strike called originally by the lnterna a- tional Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers. Miami is sai dto be a hot bed of the l. w. w. organization and the miners coming here say they left there because of threats made against any man who returned to work
 There was talk here today that. if necessary, Harry Wheeler and a part of the Citizens Protective League and Workmen's Loyalty league would go to Globe should assistance be needed there in controlling the situation after
  the troops were withdrawn. This was drowned upon by the large operators here, however. who say Bisbee and the Warren district have their hands full looking after the local situation and each strike community will have to take care of it's own situation.
 Sheriff Wheeler received an official communication from the White House at Washington today in his mail but said it was only an acknowledgment of a message he had sent to the president regarding the situation here
 The work of rounding up the idle men in the district who have not ap- piled for work was started today by the deputy sheriffs and police. All who will not work are to be charged with vagrancy and either sent out of the dis frict or placed in jail. No deporta lions occurred today but many appli- cants for work were examined by the

IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

COLUMBUS, N. M, July 21.-The 116S men deported from BiSbee, ArlZ., who have been detained in the military camp here, voted unanimously tonight to remain in the camp pending further action by the federal government. This action was taken after the army of ficer in charge of the men had an nounced to the men they were free to go whenever they desired.
 The men were drawn up in military formation and the announcement that they were at liberty was read to each of the eight companies into which they have been divided They were in formed that instructions had been re- ceived from Washington that they were at liberty to go where they pleased but any desiring to remain in the camp would be supplied with food by the government and permitted to use the tents and other army equipment in the camp.
 William B. Cleary, the Bisbee attor- ney. who was deported with the alleged Industrial Workers of the World mem bers and sympathizers, addressed the men and advised them against leaving the camp pending further develop ments. MT. Cleary pointed out that it would be inadvisable to flock over the country in a disorganized mass or to go into Columbus where the people had treated them kindly, and should be shown by the mems restraint that this treatment was appreciated.
 The Bisbee attorney urged the con- tinuation of the organization estab- lished in the camp by the army officers and suggested that they organize their own police force and remain as they had been from the first-"a law abiding body of workingmen tempor- arily out of work in an effort to i'm prove their condition"
 After MT. Cleary's address, the men adopted the following resolution with out dissenting vote:
 | Civilian Camp, Columbus, N. NJ, July q. 1917 Whereas, most of us have our homes and families in the Warren dis trict Coehise county, Arizona; and Whereas, we were forcibly deported without proper sanction of law from our homes on the 18th day of July; and ] Whereas, the federal government today has given us our choice whether 1 We stay in this camp, or return tC the Warren district where we would be "t lhS HiOiCy Ol company thugs dHC gunmen, or wander to other parts o1 the country; be it

LEADV|LLE MINES COMPLETELY SHUT
 DOWN BY STRIKE
Republican A. p. Leased W;rc1

LEADVILLE, Colo, July 2l.-For the first time in it's history not a pound of ore was hoisted from the mines of the Leadville district today and not a sin gle carload broken under ground. Ap proximately 2,000 miners, engineers and pumpmen, organized and unor- ganized, failed to appear at the mines this morning, and it was with consid- erable difficulty that the pumps on sev- eral of the large plants were manned. A few pickets were stationed on the roads leading to the mines and in- formed men coming to work that the strike was called.
 The strike, which was called by the International Union of Mine. Mill and Smeltermen, an organization which began the work of unioniZing the camp some months ago, directly affects fifty producing properties and number of small leases.
 A statement issued at the office of the Mine Owners association today said:
 The fact that the operators have re- fused to deal with the union has been deliberately misconstrued to imply that they will not meet their men. The managers have at all times been willing to confer with their own employees and adjust any differences which may arise"
 Attention was called to the fact that the state industrial commission at the solicitation of the union had come to Leadville and investigated conditions here with the result that it was de- cided that there was no justification for increasing the minimum scale.
 "The manner in which this strike was called by discouraging pumpmen from remaining at their duties with the evident intention of abandoning the pumps and permitting the workings to become flooded, shows clearly the pernicious influence behind this move ment." The statement continues

WASHINGTON, July 21-The ad- ministration food control bill virtually rewritten after five weeks bitter con- test, was passed today by the senate, S1 to 6. Conferees from house and senate will begin work early next week and leaders are hopeful the measure may be in the presidents hands in ten days.
 As revamped the bill gives the presi- dent broad authority over foods, feeds and fuel, the latter including kerosene and gasoline; provides for administra- ton by a food board of three members instead of an individual; authorizes federal fixing of coal prices requisi- tioning and operation of mines and authorizes a minimum guaranteed price of not less than s2 per bushel for wheat at primary markets.
 The senate prohibition sections, pro- hibiting manufacture of distilled UeV- erages during the war and directing the president to buy all distilled spirits in bond was substituted for the house ''bone dry provision and will be one subject of difficulty in conference. Senators voting against the bill were: France. Maryland; Hardwiclk, Georgia; Penrose, Pennsylvania Reed, Mis- souri; Sherman, Illinois, and Suther- land, West Virginia.
 Scores of amendments were disposed of today but the principal features were the incorporation of the amend ment authorizing the minimum wheat price and another by senator Pom creme greatly broadening the govern ments power to handle the coal situa- tion.
