Edinburgh, May 25.-"For the Ger
mans, as well as for US, the next few
weeks will be a race between Hinden-
burg and President Wilson," said Mr.
Lloyd George in an address here. "The
Germans are straining every muscle
to reach the goal first, on the eve Of
American help becoming available for
the allies"
II can honestly say" the premier
declared. that the government has
neglected no possible means for find
ing out whether there is any honora-
BILE outlet out of this war. its horrors
and tragedies"
Mr.. Lloyd Georges address was de-
livered in connection with the confer
ring of the freedom of the city upon
him.
I'VE are on the eve OF . great Ger
man attack" the premier asserted.
Those who know best what the pros
poets are feel most confident about
the result"
Mr.. Lloyd George said that. while
the United States was rushing its men
into France. tho present strength Of
those armies was not the equivalent
of one-fifth Of the fighting strength
which was gained BY the Teutonic al
lies through the collapse Of Russia.
The premier's statements about the

mistic. He said in April the output Of
shipping for the first time exceeded
the losses.
Speaking at q luncheon Mr.. Lloyd
George said there was no doubt that
there had been . conspiracy for a
great rising in Ireland. He stated that
he had seen the evidence. The leaders
of the Nationalist party. he added. had
nothing to do with 1t.
Mr. Lloyd George was received with
great enthusiasm. the people rising
and cheering again and again.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he felt hap
pier than at any other time during the
war over the prospects Of making the
most effective use of the whole force
of the alliance.
I'VE are dealing with q ruthless
Prussian despotism that is out for
plunder. loot and pillase." he said.
Treaties restrain them Just a. little
today as in the day Of Belgium. They
do not intend to bring the war to an
end until their basket is as full a. It

From the data at present available.
the premier told his hearers. the ad-
miralty was Of the opinion that in
