BDINBURG, May 24.-'The next
few weeks will be race between
Hindenburg and WILSON," Lloyd
George declared in speech here to-
day.
The Germans are straining every
muscle to reach their goal before
American help is available.
"This Is no time to organize cam
paigns to harrass men IN charge OF
the destinies of nations. There
should be a truce in such campaigns,
at least until the offensive is over.
''I can honestly say the British gov
ernment has neglected no possible
means of ascertaining whether there
is any honorable outlet from war.
We are dealing with ruthless Prus-
sian despotism which Is out for plun-
der and piIlage. Their latest treaties
restrain Germany as little today as
when they invaded Belgium. Tho
submarine still is a menace but Is no
longer peril. II cannot determine
the wars result"
The premier said the allies are
building ships faster than submarines
can sink them, while allied navies
are sinking submarines faster than
Germany Is rebuilding them. He
said the admiralty report showed
record of destruction OF submarines
established in April. while I'm the
same month the shipping output ex-
ceeded the losses for the first time
since unrestrfrted stIbmariniuE VAS
begun.

''The Germans recognize the fall
ure of submarine warfare and there
fore are conducting the offensive on
the western front. They were driv-
en- into it as a last resort for victory
The premier said Americas en-
trance has not yet equalized Russia's
collapse. Americas Intervention has
given the allies only about a fifth Of
the number of men Germany was able
to add to their western lines through
from the eastern front.
but on the eve of great Ger
man attack those best acquainted
with the prospects are the most con-
fident OF the results. General Foch
IS one of the most brilliant strategists
Of the age. He is a man of dynamic
energy and profound knowledge and
commanding respect. adj

pany which played for four days in
the city last year for the benefit of
the Honor Guard Girls.
The purpose to which the funds ac-
quired by the guard company will be
