LONDON, Feb. 19.-Premier Lloyd
Georges statement in the House Of Com
mons to-day on the plan made at Yer
sAi'ea by which unity in the control Of
the allied armies is to be achieved. made
q deep impression. His declaration that
the American delegation presented a
strong argument in support Of the policy
Of unity which was decided upon un-
doubtedly will have great influence not
only In the House Of Commons but with
the great mass Of the British public.
This also Is true Of his statement that
there was complete agreement that the
authority Of the Versailles council must
be an interallied authority and that the
council should have executive powers.
Former Premier Asquith. expressing
tho wish that the Premier's speech had
been made a week ago and that It un-
doVbtedly would have weakened the po-
ltical attack on the Ministry. depre-
Gated the attack that had been made by
a certain section OF .the press against
nigh officers Of the army and navy. He
asked IL the loss Of Admiral Jeilicoe and
Gen. Sir William Robertson, former
Chief o, Staff. was compensated by the
presence OF Lord Derby at Whitehall
and the appointment Of Beaverbrook.

SOCIALIST AIMS
LIKE WILSON'S
President Expresses War OBJ
jects Of French and British,
Says Albert Thomas.
WOULD LIKE TO TELL HIM
Views American Head as
Leader of World Democracy
Animated by Ideals.
WOULD LIKE TO TELL HIM
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS. Feb. 19.-"The war aims o, the
Socialist party OF France are Identical
with those Of President wilson," said
Albert Thomas. former Minister of
Munitions, to the Associated Press to-
day just before leaving for the Inter-
allied Socialist Conference to be held In
London.
1T has been one OF my dreams NJ.
Thomas continued, that a delegation of
English and> French Socialists should
visit Washington. II the President would
receive us. to explain to him that his
purposes in the war are our purposes.
The American army is entering into
action in France and its part will be q
growing one. Nevertheless America has
q greater role than that Of its army.
The spirit of the Entente allied peoples
must be continually supported and re-
freshed BY the daily consciousness Of the
Justice Of our afsfS. Tho mtndg of the
people must be Allied with ideals.
President Wilson's part can be much
greater than the military action Of the
American army. His international diplo-
matte action In support Of his Ideals
that is the supreme part which America
has. President Wilson can become not
only the leader OF American democracy
but the leader OF world democracy. and
can assure you his influence already
is very considerable with the peoples OF
Germany and Austria
Tho Socialist national convention
adopted yesterday by vote of 2.sl7 to
2lS a resolution accepting memoran-
dunn prepared by the British section as
basis Of discussion by the interallied
convention.
N. Thomas, speaking for the majority
OF the committee on resolutions, said that
q referendum regarding Aleace-Iorraine.
though accepted by the majority and q
greater part Of the minority. must not be
considered an indispensable condition
previous to disannexation. He was tn
terrupted by one delegate. who shouted :
we don't care anything for Alsace-
Lorraine
NJ. Thomas brought the convention to
its feet with an eloquent speech on
Alsace-Lorraine. Referring to tho In
terruption he said:
That coarse interruption reveals a
doctrine which we will never accept, be-
cause It is a doctrine Of abdication and
cowar6ice."

AMSTERDAM. Feb. IA traveller who
recently arrived in Holland from Ger
many says That. although he saw several
German towns befasged IN token OF
rejoicing over peace with Russia. che
greatest disappointment and depression
were occasoned by the LATER news that
war with Russia was 10 be resumed.
Thoughtful Germans do rot regard a
peace with Russia, it effected, as al
together desirable. since II the 2,000.-
100000 Russian prisoners OF war are
returned to their homes Germany will!
be confronted with serious labor prob
lens
The large wooden barracks at AiX-la-
Cfappelle. of which the construction was
reported recently, are intended for 100, 900
Russian laborers. who are to work Oh
the railway running in almost a straight
line from 'AiN-la -Chappelle to Bruges.
This railway has been built during the
war and is considered immensely i'm
potrant by the Germans. who instead Of
double are now making 1t four
track road.
Bread Ration 10 Ounces Less.
Even the German soldiers at the front
are now undergoing privations In their
food supply. the weekly bread ration for
all those except the men on the firing
line being diminished by 800 Erammes
tabout ten ounces). instead Of which
they receive seventeen Jumps Of sugar.
II Is necessary to feed bread to the
horses owing to the enormous losses
among them due to malnutrition.
German officers with whom the neu-
trail talked were pessimistic over the
prospects Of n German offensive In the
west. The best they expected as the
result Of such an offensive was enor-
nous slaughter without a decision
In the interior OF Germany the food
problem Is accentuated owing to the
Governments decision to declare large
tracts of agricultural country reserved
for army supplies Many large cities,
such as Berlin, which made contracts for
food supplies for delivery this spring
and summer are being told by producers
they can supply nothing. Anxiety Is in
creased by the prospect that a long de-
lay will be inevitable before the food
stuffs Of the Ukraine would be available.
The Polish strike also is embarrassing
the German Government and the Pan
German elements. who view II gravely
and as the most exasperatin2 develop
ment that could have occurred at this
juncture,
Although the German strike appar-
emily has died down. 1t Is said to be
much more serious In the mining districts
than the Germans admit. Several strik-
ers. including foreigners, were shot in
the Westphalian mines. where the Gov
ernment declared that no trouble ex-
listed. 1t IL said that tho recent dis
turbance was only preliminary to a
bigger strike that Is to follow later.
