London, Aug. 6.-Tho keynote OF q
message to the British empire, issued
by Premier David Lloyd George and
promulgated in drastic way through

The message was read to audiences
in all theaters, concert halls and other

Thanks to the invincible bravery
Of all the Allied armies, it Is now evi-
dent to all that this dream Of universal
conquest for the sake of which they
wantonly prolonged the war can never
be fulfilled.
} But the battle is not yet won. The
great autocracy of Prussia will still en-
deavor, by violence or guile, to avoid
defeat and so give militarism . new
lease of life. We cannot seek to escape
the horrors Of war for ourselves BY
laying them up for our children. Hav-
