GERMANY MUST PAY COST, SAYS
 LLOYD GEORGE
People Merit Punishment for War Damage, British
 Premier Asserts.

London, Nov. David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister, in a speech at Newcastle yesterday, said the victory of the Entente Allies had been due to the ceaseless valor of their men and that it would be lesson to anybody who in the future thought that they, as the Prussian war lords hoped, "could overlook this little island in their reckoning"
 I've are now approaching the peace conference" the Premier con- tinued. "The price of victory is not vengeance nor retribution. It is pre- vention. First of all, what about those people whom we have received without question for years to our shores; to whom we gave equal rights with our sons and daughters, and who abused that hospitality to betray | the land, to plot against security, to | spy upon it and to gain such informa- l tion as enabled the Prussian war | lords to inf1ict not punishment, but damage and injury upon the land that
 had received them as guests? Never
 again."
 Mir. Lloyd George said the interests
 of security and fair play demanded | that it should be made perfectly clear l that the people who acted in this way 1 merited punishment for damage they
 had inflicted.
 1 The second question was one of in-
 demnitics, the Premier added. In
 every court of justice throughout the world the party which lost has had to
 bear the cost of the litigation. When Germany defeated France she estab- lished the principle, and there was no
 doubt that the principle was the right
 one. German must pay the cost of
 the war up to the limit of her ca-
 pacity.
 But I must use one word of warn
 ing" said Lloyd George. "We have
 to consider the question of Germanys
 capacity. Whatever happens Ger
 many is not to be allowed to pay heH ; indemnity by dumping cheap goods , upon us. That is the only limit in , principle we are laying down. She must not be allowed to pay for he1
 wanton damage and devastation by dumping cheap goods and wrecking
 our industries.
 There is a third and last point. Is no one to be made responsible for the , war? Something has been responsible for war that has taken the lives o1 millions of the best young men pt
 Europe. Is not any one to be made responsible for that? If not, all car say is that if that is the case there is one justice for the poor wretche6 criminal and another for kings ant emperors."
 The Premier dealing with the ques. tion of the responsibility for the in,
 vasion of Belgium, said the British government had consulted some of the greatest jurists of the kingdom ant : that they unanimously and definitely t had arrived at the conclusion that 1T 5 their judgment the former German
 Emperor was guilty of an indictablt ) offense, for which he ought to be helt t responsible.

PERSH|NC SAYS DEBT TO FRENCH

Addresses Soldiers at Gen. eral Headquarters on
 Thanksgiving Day.

American Headquarters in France, Thursday, Nov. 2S.-Victory won by the American soldiers in hard fighting and at tho cost of great sacrifices, "as the Thanksgiving day gift to the American nation and the American army, General Pershing declared in an address at General Headquarters today. The debt of gratitude to La fayette has been paid and the in vader has been driven back in defeat, he said
 The American commander in chief paid tribute to the dead and wounded, urged the soldiers to thank God for the victory and declared a new vision of duty to God and country had come to all
 Gene-al Pershing's address in part follows:
 Fellow soldiers: Never in the his tory of our country have we as a peo. pie come together with such full hearts as on this greatest of all Thanksgiving days. The moment throbs with emotion, seeking to find full expression. Representing the high ideals of our countrymen and cherishing the spirit of our fore fathers who first celebrated this fes. tival of Thanksgiving, we are proud to have repaid a debt of gratitude tC the land of Lafayette and to have lent our aid in saving civilization iron destruction.
 l The tide of conflict which during the dark days of midsummer threat ened to overwhelm the allied force! has been turned into glorious victory As the sounds of the battle roll away the beaten foe fees from the field, i Is fitting that the conquering armie should pause to give thanks to tn, God that lives.
 Nor in our prayers shall we forge the widow who freely gave the hus
 band more precious than her life, no those who, in hidden herOism, hav' impoverished themselves to help tn comrades who are at home.
 Great cause, indeed, have we t thank God for trials successfully me and victories won. Still more shouI
 we thank Him for the golden future with its vast wealth of opportunit, and it's hope of a permanent universa peace"

WOLFF OUTLINES
 IDEAS AND AIMS OF GERMAN PARTY
Party's Membership Al ready Colossal, Says Its
 Instigator.

Berlin, Thursday, Nov. 2s-(By the Associated Press)-The aims of the new German democratic party, the appeal of which for comprehension and support has been sent to Presi- dent Wilson was outlined to the cor respondent today by Theodor Wolff, editor-in-chief of the Berlin Tageblatt. It was on his initiative that the party was formed. He said:
 "Our party has been formed to sup port the republic, to further demo- cratic reforms on socialistic- economic basis and to furnish rally ing point for the middle classes and keep them from falling into the power of the reactionaries The party will naturally oppose Bolshevism with all means at it's command. In other words, we aim to win and hold the middle classes for democracy. Here Wolff explained that with the party's aims, all former members of the pro- gressive or other parties who have been active in military and national ist agitations, or who, like Dr. Gus taVe Stresenann National-Liberal member of the reichstag have advo- cated the submarine campaign, have been flatly informed that while they cannot be excluded from the party if they desire to join, they will, never
 theless, be vigorously excluded from any participation in it's leadership. The party's membership is already colossal" said Herr Wolff, and thou sands of accessions are coming in daily. Virtually the whole progress sive party membership excepting a l few on the extreme right will join, and many prominent democrats who l formerly stood far to the left that 1 they were kept out of party councils. | These include men like Hugo Preuss, Germany's foremost authority on con stitutional law, who is now drafting 6 constitution for submission for the national assembly; Professor Walther l Shocking of Marburg University; Prof. Gerlaach, Deputy Fischbach and Prof. Max Weber. The left wing of the national labors is also receiving
 recruits. These men include Prince Schoenach Calolath, Dr. M. J. Junck 1 and Dr. Winninn, president of the Ma tfonal Bank of Berlin.
 i The National-E Liberals who opposed
 the reform of the Prussian franchise
 cies will be excluded from leadership.
 Herr Wolff declared that his party
 was by far the strongest in the em- pire, next to the socialists.
 It holds, however. that private prop erty shall not be touched without full
 compensation.

PAN-CERMAN
 ACTIVITIES
 WERE HARMFUL
This is Opinion of Won Holl- veg Who Also Admits
 Fatal Naval Policy.

London, Nov. 30.---Fuller reports of the statement published by Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg, the former Impe- rial German Chancellor, in the North German Gazette show that although he attempts various arguments in ex- cuse for his share in German guilt for the war he makes the following confession:
 But above all we must confess that
 by cur deficiencies of national char acter and by the sins of our general behavior we have contributed to the warlike tension which filled the air for the last few years. Words which might be taken as provocation were repeatedly uttered. The pan-German activities at home and abroad have done us the greatest harm, but above all our naval policy brought up the
 most fatal opposition"
 The answers to Ton Hollweg were
 apologies in the Berlin Tageblatt,
 which in taking the former chancellor to task says:
 ''Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg men toned neither the German-British ne gouations, which already were con- cluded in July, 1914, nor Sir Edward Grey's (then British foreign secretary) very reasonable and acceptable pro- posal for mediation. Why did the l German government reject this pro- posal? The ex-Chancellor states him. self that the Austrian ultimatum was 1 too sharp, but in that case what ob- ! jection could the German government
 raise against Sir Edward Grey's pro- posals? If von 3ethmann felt him. self that wrong was committed
 against Belgium he had no right to
 submit and if he was not able to
 carry his point he ought to have re- signed.'
