Millions Doing War Work.

Continuing. Mr. Lloyd George said
that 100000 men and women now
were engaged in war work in the
United Kingdom. More women could
be employed if the trades unions did
not fear the competition of women aft
er the war, but other countries seemed
to have experienced the same difficult
ties. 1t could be said that at the pres
ent time no English industry is work
ing for individual interests except in
agriculture.
Although the English people sincerely
hoped that the present war would be
the last war, Mr.. Lloyd George con-
tinued. the country intended to avoid
its previous error and in the future
would be able to support itself He
said he recognized that the latest news
from Russia was not good news, but
that Russia already had shown that
she possessed infinite resources and was
the land of the unexpected.
In bidding farewell to his guests, Mr..
Lloyd George said the worlds future
depended on Great Britain and France
acting together.

which he was quoted as saying that if
the government failed to exempt a
single man from war duty he would
call strike of the 1900 mechanics en-
ployed on all the ways along the Della

THE statement" said Mr. Scott, "is
absurd on its face. The officials of the
shipyards with whom / have been deal
ing the last eighteen months know and
would gladly testify that my attitude
has always been foreign to any policy
which would tend to hamper the work
