 MT. Lloyd George declared that the decision which would be taken in tnc next few months in the peace con- , ference was going to leave a mark upon the world The ages to come he said, would he able to reap the fruits of it.
 The Premier next dealt with the question Of indemnity. He declared the war had cost Germany less than i: had cost Great Britain. It has cost Great Britain, he declared, S. OC0.0C0,0OO pounds, gigantic sum, The German bill, he believed, was ;iX billion pounds or seven billion pounds He cOntended it was indefensible that the person who was in the wrong and had lost should pay less than the perscn who was declared to te in the right and had won.
 The premier said a British imperi- al commission had been appointed to investigate the capacity of Germany (to pay) and that he had received it's repott. He summarized his re- marks on this point as follows:
 "First. as far as justice is concern ed, we have an absolute right tt demand the whole cost of the war from Germany.
 Second. we propose to demand the whole cost of the war from Germany.
 "Third when you come to the eX- acting of i:, we must exact in such way that it does not do more than harm to the country that receives it than the'country that is paying it.
 Fourth. the commission appointed by the British cabinet believes that that can be done.
 Fifth. the Allies are in exactly the same boat. We shall put in our de- mands all together and whatever they are they must come in front of the German war debt"
 The Prime Minister continued:
 "The first consideration in the minds Of the allies will be the in- terest of the people upon whom the Germans have made war and not in the interests of the German people who have made war and have been guilty of that crime"
 With regard to the former German emperor, the premier said
 ''There is absolutely no doubt that he has committed a crime against in- ternaticnal wight, and there is ahsO- luHe'v ro douht that ha ought tio he held responsihle for it so far as the European allies are concerned"
 The premier said he hcped that America would '"ke the same view when President Wilson arrived as to tho demand that would %e nut for word on the part of the Furonaan ellies. 'to make tho Kaiser and his accomp'ices responsible for this ter rifle crime"
 Referring to a letter said to have heen written bv British General 10 a Fren"h General in which the Brit ish officer was quoted as savine 1t was proposed to establish British National army of twenty divisions ha- sed on conscription. but that the "cah- inet would not touch this until af- ter the elections and then not un- til this leao of nations nonsense had heer discussed at the reaca con ference" Premier Lloyd George de- clared.

 ''TO attempt to continue federal control, under the inadequate provi- sions of the present federal control act, and for the very ibrief period tt authorizes would be to multiply our difficulties and invite failure. On the experience of the past year, that the returns of the railways to the old competitive condition will be hurtful alike to public inter est and to the railroads themselves. This course, however, will bring fewer evils in it's train than the unsatis- factory, if not impotent, federal con- trol provided for By the control act
 The railroad was taken over as a war measure. They have been opera ted the past year for the paramou,., purpose of winning the war. l think it will be generally admitted that the war service has been success fully rendered, and l am sure that experience of great value and benefit has been gained not only fer the puD- lie, but for the railroads themselves during this brief test.''
 A conference of representatives of interests affected by transportation will bc held here tomorrow and Fri day at the call of the United States Chamber Of Commerce, to formulate a statement of principles which may serve as the basis for popular dis cussion of the nations future at;I- tude toward railroads and other transportation agencies The confer yfi11 .,,rn ments of definite program is not expected at this time.
 Washington, Dec. 11.-Continuanc of government control of railroads for five years, or until January 1st. 1924 was recommended today by Director General McAdoo, in a letter to the chairman of the senate and house in- terstate commerce committees.
 This would permit fair trial of government operation, said Mir Me Adoo, and eliminate the unsettled condition under which the railroads must be operated during the next year or two if their status is no5 changed materially by legislation.
 This recommendation is not made in support of any the ories concerning the best ultimate policy of running the railroads, Mir. McAdoo explained, but only to give the nation time to form it's ideas carefully.
 The director general eXpleined that it is impossible to retain the roads under government contro! for 21 months after the declaration of peace without further Legislation owirg to the strain on the morale Of officers and employees, and pointed out the difficulty of obtaining comprehensive legislation on the subject soon.
 President Wilson. in h:s recent ad- dress to congress, said he wss uni able to deci,'> No>. should be done With the ra'roa ads. and sr'Sed com grcss. to take up the question f9r discussion i!nmediately. He declared that unless action was Forthcoming he would be forced to turn back the roads to private management.
 Acting under this plan, the railroad administration hss been preparing to relinouish control of the railroads and it was the general understanding that the administration would wait two or three months before actually starting the relinquiEh p,o2eed- ing to give congress 9 chance to act. Recent aevelopments have shown the difficulty of determining a final poll cy at this time however, according to railroad administration officials.

 The bulletin, qJoting a circular let ter from the D1Eery branch office of the quarte.mas.e: general, follows:

 Most of the men Ot the new ar1Iy have been living in homes where the NAdl lON ahAOnhN A1 so much. not only in money value, but in actual conservation of food, were not considered worth bothermg with; for this reason these men can not be expected to realize th eneces- sity for being careful with food. or to view the question from an angle of real economy.
 With the cost of rations al ll2 cents a day for each man, man who leaves on his plate even one eignty-- third of the food served to him causes a waste of F cent a day.

MUSICAL TREAT FOR
 DISTRICT SATURDAY ON YLYCEUM COURSE
Original Strollers Quaret Biller as Next Attraction for Music Lovers; Orches- tra Here in March.

Lovers of good music have a real treat in store Saturday night at The \ Y. M. C. A, when the Original Str0l- lers' Quartet will give a program which is open to all Y members and their families. The entertainment is one of the numbers booked by .he Bisbee Y- NJ C. A. from the Dixie Lyoeum bureau and judging from the high standard of the other acts sent here and the way they have been re- ceived there will not be a vacant seat at the Y Saturday when the program starts at o'clock sharp.
 The seven acts this year will cost the association better than S1050 and since they represent the best talent ever brought into southern Arizona the Y people feel they are worth ev- cry cent of this sum- No admission is charged and this is but one of the many high class features offered .ree to members of the association.
 Ross Crane, formerly president Of the International I.yceum association, recently wrote the Century bureah: The Strollers unqusStionably are one of the leading auartets on the
  tion and in their specially and en-er- taining features"
 This company was organized Tn 1906 and made it's first appearance in towns and cities on the Pacific coast Since that time and with only one change in personnel during all the years of their organization, the com pany has filled engagements in near ly every state of the union.
 These men are not only of first class ability as singers and entertain CTS, but they have a high standard e what a lyceum program should be and they work constantly in adding to their program new material and Tn giving it an artistic finish that has made The Strcllers a standard of eN- cellence.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE TELLS WHAT WAR WORK" MEANS

With the announcement that Ari- zona's quota of unskilled labor for war work is 2,640 men, the question is be- ing discussed among employers and employees of the baby state as to just what constitutes "war work"
 The following dispatch from the United States Employment Service states that for the purposes of the centralized war labor recruiting pro- gram, "war work" means:
 1. The manufacture of products or the erection of structures directly or indirectly supplied to some depart ment of the government for use in connection with the war. Indirectly supplied" includes goods delivered under contracts to government con- tractors.
 2. Coal mining and copper is wholly war work.
 8. Railroads and farms are engaged in war work to the extent that under this program they are protected from all recruiting by other industries.
 The making of products which may ultimately be used for war purposes, but which are not to be delivered either directly to the government or to some contractor who uses them in producing or as part of products to be delivered to the government is not considered war work.

LIGHTNING KILLS STEERS
 AND KNOCKS HORSES DOWN

J. M. Pesterfield had an experience Sunday evening that he does not care to have repeated in his immediate neighborhood again. He was driving a four-horse team in from the Frank Dickinson COW ranch at Apache Maid. When he reached the lower end of Lake Mary, a flash of lightning slammed down into the wire fence, killing a steer standing near the fence and knocked down two of his lead horses. One of the horses was so badly stunned that he made five at- tempts to scramble to his feet before he was successful. The last time he came alive, but didn't amount to much the rest of the way to town and was apparently stone deaf. About hun dred yards further along Pesterfield found another steer that had been killed by lightning within a half hour, showing most exclusively that light ming was out after beef in plenty that day.
 Pesterfield says he was somewhat stunned and it took some nerve to hold his seat during the lombard ment. Four wires of the fence were completely cut by the flash within twelve feet of him.

BANKS TO CURTAL
 NONESSENTIAL LOANS

Credit extended by banks to their customers for non-essential purposes hurts in several ways. First, it in- wolves the use of money that might be better invested in government se- curities, thereby helping to win the war, and shorten the war with the consequent saving of American lives. Second, it involves the use of labor, material, and transportation, which ought to be left free to meet, to the fullest, the needs of the government. Third, it involves unnecessary compe- tition with the government, both de- laying government operations and making them more expensive.
 Every resource of the United States and its people should be devoted to the winning of this war. We should hit the Hun with all our strength. To win the war we have got to keep our soldiers in a high state of efficiency and keep our people at home, and our farms and mines and factories in a high state of efficiency. We are not keeping ourselves in the highest state of efficiency when we are using money and goods and labor transpor- tation for non-essential things, for luxuries, and extravagances.
 It should not be left entirely to the banks to carry out this policy. The people should cooperate with them, and curtail their expenses, their ex- penditures, and their borrowings.

RECONCILE SAWMILL WILL
 START SAVING OCTOBER 1

The McGonigle Lumber Company at Riordan hope to be running a new sawmill et full tilt by October 1. The company recently purchased sawmill outfit at Phoenix of A. G. Smith and have it on the ground ready to be put up as soon as their new blaming mill is in working order. The blaming mill, according to Tom Mccarthy, the master mechanic, will soon be in op- eration to take care of the lumber sawed before the fire and the mill will follow immediately.
 The sawmill will have a capacity of 10000 per day and is considerable smaller than the old mill, but owing to existing conditions, it was the best that could be done this late in the year. All haste is being made in order to take advantage of the good weather.
