 Neither personal consideration nor political ardor will turn us from our duty or lead us to go beyond it. Too many criminal attempts have already resulted in the shedding of a super abundance of French blood. Weakness would be complicity. We shall be with out weakness, as without violence.

 Our armies shall not be taken be- tween two fires. Jus;:ce Is on the way. The country will know that it is de- tended and is France forever free.

Days will follow days, problems will follow problems; we shall march in step with you to the realizations that the necessities inn pose. We are under your control; the question of confidence will be con- tinually in the balance.

We shall ask of each citizen that he take his full part in the com- mon defense. that he give more and consent to receive less.

 In the course of his speech MT. Lloyd George said:
 Assuming that the submarine sit uation does not get worse, the easing of the position of the allies depends entirely upon the dates on which the American program of launching six million tons of shipping promised for 1918, comes into practical effect
 The premier said he wished to recog nize the eager earnestness with which the people of the United States are throwing themselves into the great task. He expressed absolute confidence that the great democracies now march ing shoulder to shoulder would utter ly overthrow the menace which threat ened the liberty of the world.
 The premier thanked the mission for "the invaluable services which the United States navy has already rend- cred. not only in protecting commerce but in dealing with the submarine, for vital assistance in financing the war and for effective help in many other ways"
 With reference to the question ot supplies MT. Lloyd George assured the mission that the most drastic food re- strictions were about to be imposed upon the people of the British isles.
 The premier told the mission that the collapse of Russia and the reverses to Italy, made it even more impera- tive that the United States send as many troops as possible across the At lantic as early as possible. In opening his speech, the prime minister said:
 Tt is a source of great satisfaction to my colleagues and myself that this gathering of two nations should take place in the very room in which the statesmen of an earlier and less en- frightened period committed the blund- CTS which had estranged them.' The premier had in mind the meet ing which occurred in this room where momentous action had been taken with respect to the American colonies near ly 150 years ago.
 This conference" the premier con- tinued lis a business gathering of the continuation of hard, patient, unobtru- sive work done between the members of the mission and the various Brit ish departments. Its purpose is to de termine how the United States can

MINNEOLA, N. Y, Nov. 20.-Only eight jurors have been accepted from the 6S talesmen during two days tdeious questioning and it seemed probable tonight the trial of Mrs Blanca de Saulles, charged with shoot ing to death her divorced husband, might further be delayed by the neces- sity of summoning another panel Four jurymen were chosen today.
 Mrs. De Saulles, the youthful de- fendant, finds comfort in the rfact that the trial is actually under way, accord ing to her counsel. She is to receive tomorrow a visit from her four year old, John L. De Saulles. Jr
 Mrs. Blanca Errazuriz. the defen- dant's mother, sat near her daughter in the court room, short time this afternoon.
 Mrs. De Saulles' chief attorney would not venture a prediction as to when his client would be placed on the stand. Neither would he give de- tails as to the testimony he will intro- duce in support of the claim of the defense that Mrs. De Saulles was mentally deranged when she did the shooting.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 20.-Federal authorities began roundup of l. w w. agitators in the middle west today. Official reports have been received here from the only raid that at Augusta, Kans., where % were arrested, but un- official reports indicate numerous oth- CT arrests in the Fl Dorado and Au- gusta oil district considered the focal point of agitation that led to the plac- ing Of armed guards about oil proper ties.
 Federal officers have intimated the total of arrests may run into the hun dreds. In. preparation for the roundup, Oscar SchmitZ, a special agent of the department of justice in Kansas City, was sent to Augusta to construct a large bull pen in which to house the prisoners. He reported the structure was ready today. Every man arrested will be examined to determine whether he evaded the draft registration it is said, while those who can show they are not members of the l. W. w. will be released. Those who cannot show they have business in tie oilfields will be handled by local or state authorities, while any considered dangerous will be dealt with by the government, the Of ficers stated.
 q tent headquarters of the organization in that section. It is said much litera- ture containing anti-war propaganda was confiscated and several leaders are said to have been among the men ar rested.
 The activities of the I. w. w. in the oil fields of Kansas have been under observation by department of justice investigators for several weeks. The whipping of I. w. W. members at Tul- sa, Skla.. augmented the I. W. w. fore es from Oklahoma and stickers bearing the picture of an angry black cat and the word sabotage" appeared. This was followed by several mysterious fires, and the placing of the armed guards. The Kansas and Oklahoma oil fields are controlled largely by the same interests and reports spread that the l. w. w. agitators planned to avenge the Tulsa whippings in the Kansas fields.
 More than fifty alleged l. W. W. members were arrested in the Butler county oil fields today it was an- nounced.
 Tn arrests today were made in the vicinity of Augusta by state and fed eral agents, it was announced. A quan- | tlty of literature was seized. | The purpose of the raids will be to rid the oil fields of the state of unde- sirables, federal officers say. and each man arrested will be examined as to whether he has registered.

best cooperate with Great Britain and the other allies.
 Like Britain, the United States is a pacific power and she. therefore, has had to build up a war organization from the start. In doing so she can learn from many mistakes which Brit ain made. Two of the most urgent questions today are man power at the fronts and shipping"
 Dealing with the airplane situation, the premier said:
 Command of the air in the battle line is almost as essential as command of the seas. The people of the United States possess to an unusual degree qualities of enterprise and daring ne cessary to the creation of successful airmen. The American climate also lends itself to the development of the air service, because it is clearer and more equable than the climate of the British isles. This is of special value, because the training of pilots. the crea- tion of flying units and the building of airdromes are as essential to the creation of an air service as the build ing of airplanes themselves"
 Referring to food, the premier said the allies were becoming increasingly dependent upon what the North Amer
  omize in the use of food. He assured the mission that the most drastic re- strictions were about to be imposed upon the people of the British isles, partly in order to assist the allies. partly in order to leave more room for the carriage of men and munitions to the battle fronts. The premier said he regarded the tightening of the block ade as of next importance.
 Close cooperation between the United States and the powers of west ern Europe can bring still greater economic pressure to bear on the cen tral powers during the war" he said.
 The premier then thanked the mis- sion for the great services rendered by the United States navy.
 In reply, Admiral Benson. on behalf of the mission. said that the mission was learning many lessons from the allies and expressed the gratitude of it's members for the manner with which all sources of information had been thrown open to them.
 "The United States is heart and soul in the war; he said, "and the country absolutely endorses the statement of President Wilson that none of it's re- sources would be spared. it's men and ships. or work, in order to win the war"
 Admiral Benson then gave the con- ference information as to what the United States has done and is doing. not only in training armies, in build ing fleets and in the manufactu of munitions, but in food economy and the construction of aircraft.

Let everything today be blended-the claims of the front and the duty in the rear Let every zone be the zone of war. If there must be men who find in their souls impulses of the old time let us put them aside. All civilized nations are engaged in the same battle against the modern development of ancient barbarity. Against this, with all our good allies, we are an immovable rock, barrier that shall not be passed.
 .Let only fraternal soidity, the surest foundation of the world to come, be shown at the forefront of alliance, at every instant and everywhere. In the field of ideas, France has suffered for everything that makes man firm. In her hope, drawn from the sources of the purest humanity, she consents to suffer still for the defense of the soil of her great ancester with the hope of opening even wider. to men as to peoples, all the doors of life. The force of the French soul is in that. That is what unimates our people as they work as well as they fight.

The $1O,0OO bail of John F. Craig, Cal, the only defendant who failed to appear, was declared forfeited and a bench warrant was issued for him. Advices from Long Beach said Craig's non-appearance was due to a misunderstanding over a demurrer he had filed to the indictment against him. He was reported on his way here tonight.
 District Attorney Preston moved that the trials of three other de- fendants be indefinitely postponed. One of these, Surandrar Nath Kar, was dying in a Berkeley, Cal. sana- torium, he explained. The cases against Solon Leonhauser, Buddhist priest, and his wife Marie, the only woman defendant in the trial. were also ordered postponed on the ground of advanced age and ill health.
 Five jurors had been temporarily passed when court adjourned. The defense. in questioning talesmen. en- phasized that many of the defend ants were citizens of Germany and was particular to ask whether the fact that state of war now existing between the United States and Ger many would have any influence with them.
 Ray W. Simonds, prospective juror. was excused when he said that Sec retary of State Lansing's disclosures of the workings of German intrigue in this and other countries probably would impel him to give more cred ence to the governments case than to any testimony offered by the de- fense. He explained that this atti- tude was impersonal.
 Your attitude probably reflects that of many other American citi- zens,' commented Judge William c. Van Fleet. who is presiding.
 The trial probably will consume three months, said District Attorney Preston. who is conducting the prosecution. Eleven attorneys ap- peared for the various defendants.
 Hindu prisoners who, because of lack of bail are held at the military prison at Alcatraz Island, are oc- companied to the court by a detach- ment of armed United States in fantrymen.
 Special precautions were taken to guard the court room against un- toward occurrences. The trial is closed to the public and admission is by card only. The court room corridor is blocked off by temporary wooden bsrricades through which ad- mittance is gained only by display ing one of the cards.
