INFLUENCE OF BRITISH PLEDGED
MPUNISHING men RESPONSIBLE
FOR STARTING WORLD STRUGGLE

London. Dec. 5.-(Thursday)-1n
the detailed re-statement Of his poll
cy, issued by Premier Lloyd George
today. calling for the trial and punish
ment Of the men responsible for the
war, however high their place. he
pledged the entire influence of the
British government at the peace con-
ference to see that justice was done.
In declaring for the expulsion and
exclusion of all enemy aliens from
British soil the premier pointed out
that considerable proportion Of ene-
my residents in the United Kingdom
during the war had abused British
hospitality and thus had forfeited
their claims to remain.
In his statement the premier, after
paying a warm tribute to the soldiers
and sailors of the empire said:
The war was a crime. Who doubts
that? It was frightful. terrible
crime. 1t was a crime in the way in
which it was planned and in the de-
liberate wantonness with which 1t was
provoked. It also was a crime in the
invasion Sofss i helpless little state and
In, the; wicked snd most brutal treat
ment pf that little state. Remember
the treaty of neutrality, the scrap of
paper!
Surely the war was a crime. The
fact that all these iniquitous things
were done in the name Of war and
under the imperial edict of an auto
crat does not change their nature. The
war was a hideous, abominable crime,
crime which has sent millions Of the
best young men of Europe, to death
and mutilation and has plunged
myriads of homes into desolation.

be no punishment? Surely that is
neither Gods justice nor mans. The
men responsible for this outrage on
the human race must not be let of
because their heads were crowned
when they perpetrated the deed.

COMFORT" CAN
NOT BE- REACHED
BY WIRELESS
Apparatus of Hospital Ship
Believed to Have Been
Damaged.

New York, Dec 6.-Army authori-
ties here today announced that they
had been unable to get in touch by
wireless with the United States hos
pital ship Comfort since yesterday
afternoon. The last wireless message
received from the vessel, which is re-
turning from Europe with American
wounded troops, reported she was de-
layed by heavy storm but was not
in distress.
1t is believed by the military au-
thorities that the Comforts wireless
apparatus may have been put out Of
commission by the storm.
Army officers emphasized that other
incoming vessels have been similarly
delayed by the storm conditions
known to be prevailing at sea.
The military authorities pointed
also to the circumstances that many
ships are passing eastward along the
course which the Comfort was taking
when last heard from. If the hospital
ship had been in distress she would
have been able to signal at least one
of these vessels. Efforts here to COM
municate with the Comfort are con-
tinuing. The wounded soldiers on

London, Thursday, Dec. 5.-Natives

under British rule, said Walter Hume
Long, secretary of state for the col

night.
"Our representatives at the peace
conference should see that the case
for our retention of those colonies is
