LONDON. December 11.-Expounding
the British view of the freedom of

things with the lessons of the war
regarding naval operations as they
appear to him, describes the main
British position on the question as
follows:
"A readiness to continue as hereto

by England, for example. as to the ad-
mission of foreign vessels to coast

important commercial country, and to

sea of any sea now treated as a closed
sea.

"a strong conviction, greatly
stren gthened and hardened by the
lessons of this war to maintain the
minimum of safety for our people

any agreement conflicting or tamper-

"A belief that the conditions of
warfare are so changing that we must

IN leading up to his conclusion the
correspondent says:
The more the British point of view
is understood the more it will COM

closer we look at the question from

Lloyd Georges Address.
LONDON, December 11.-Premier
Lloyd George, speaking today at Bris-

and the act would lapse. He aooeo

depended not upon the opinion which
terms which were made. Continuing.
the prime minister said:
Forced, by Situation, to Conscr1pt.
"What drove US to CONSUMPTION was
the existence Of conscript armies on
the continent that inevitably rushed
the world into war. They could not
have great military machines there
without tempting the men at the nead
machines. The Germans always felt
there was nothing. to resist their per-
feet military machine. =.
If you want a permanent peace, II
Won want to prevent the horrors OL
this war being repeated you must put
an end to conscript armies on the
continent of Europe. The first thing
to do is to prevent the repetition OF
blunders of the past by making it i'm
possible to have those great conscrIpt
armies in the future. e
Britain's Not an Offensive Navy.
I'VE did not have the machinery
for an offensive war. Our navy -
defensive weapon and not an often
sive one; and that is why we do not
mean to give 1t up. We have kept
centuries. and we mean to take no
risk in the future"
Mr.. Lloyd George declared that the
decision which would be taken in the
next few months in the peace con>
ference was going to leave a mark
upon the world. The ages to come,
he said, would be 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
it had cost Great Britain. 1t had cost
Great Britain, he declared, 100000
900 pounds, q gigantic sum. The Ger
man bill he believed. was 100000, 900
pounds or 100000. 900 pounds. He
contended 1t was indefensible that the
person who was in the wrong and
had lost should pay less than the per
son who was declared to be in the
right and had won.

Amsterdam. Feb. 11.-The death yes

Abdul Ha1nid was for thirty-three
years sultan Of the Ottoman empire.

of Europe, Asia and Africa, and at the
same time was commander of the
faithful army of tMoslems. He was paid
homage by nearly hundred million
subjects. Shorn OF power, he died a
prisoner, pitied, If not despised.
He lived in constant dread of death.
He had often escaped it only by good
luck or unusual precautions agains'
plots. Yet in his later years he had
sought death by his own hands. so
melancholy had his existence become.
He gained asoendency under cir
cumstances nearly as tragic as those
which ended his career. Born Sept.
%, 1s4S, the second son Of Sultan
Abdul Medjid, he became sovereign
when his elder brother Mural V, was
deposed because of mental incapacity
in 1876. 1t was time when Turkey
was in a state Of extreme depression,
almost succumblnG to the tremendous
blows Of Russia Out Of this slough
the new sultan saved the remnants OF
Turkish prestige. Many critics give
him credit for a successful regime.
Others denounce it as infamous.
Whatever the true estimate, it is a
fact that the Turkish empire increased
its power. Schools were reformed. the
army built up commerce extended and
Pan-Islamism created under Abdul
Hamid.
