GEORGE SAYS GERMANY
MUST PAY WAR COST

BRISTOL, Dec. 1.-THE war bill
of the allies against Germany is a.
coo. 100000 pounds (s120. 900, O00,O0O),
according to the British prime min
lister. David Lloyd George, who pre-
scented this and other interesting
facts before a large gathering here
Yesterday. The cost Of the war TO
Great Britain was 5000, 100000
pounds $4,000. 0OO.oo0).
Before the war the estimated
wealth of Germany, said the premier.
was between $4,000, 100000 and 90
600, OOO, 900 pounds ($75,000, 600, 900
and 500. OOO. OOO.O0O) sterling. SO. if
the whole wealth of Germany were
taken there would not be enough to
pay the account. Therefore, he had
used the words: Germany should pay
to the utmost limit of her capacity.
When the prime minister was ad-
dressing an overflow meeting, ne
said Great Britain would be guilty
Of great folly IL she gave up her
navy.
A voice interrupted:
"Then watch Wilson,"
The premier replied:
well, I hope to meet him in
fortnight. 1 will tell him what YOU
say"
wherever the request comes Ann
we are not going to give up the pro-
lection Of the navy, so far as Great
Britain IS concerned"
Against CONSUMPTION.
Premier Lloyd George said the
English military service act was
passed in order to meet a great
emergency. When that emergency
was passed the need was passed and
the act would lapse He added there
was no intention to renew 1t. Wheth-
or Great Britain would require con
scription in the future in any shape
or form, Mr.. Lloyd George said. dc
pended not upon the opinion which
he now expressed. but upon the peace
terms which were made.
Continuing, the prime minister
said:
what drove us to CONSUMPTION
was the existence OF conscrlpt arm
les on the continent that inevitably
rushed the world into war. They
could not have great military ma
chimes there without tempting the
men at the head of them to try their
luck with those machines. The Ger
mans always felt there was nothing
to resist their perfect military ma
chine.
IF you want permanent peace;
if YOU want to prevent the horrors
of this war being repeated you must
put an end to conscript armies on
the continent of Europe.
"The first thing to do is to pre-
vent the repetition of blunders of
the past by making it impossible to
have those great conscTipt armies
in the future.

DR.. Solf, who became German sec
rotary for the colonies in 1911. fig
ured frequently during the war in
discussions of matters connected
with Germany's colonial possessions
which the conflict was wrestling from
her. His prominence in German pub
lie affairs has, however, been most
marked since September of this year
when he was appointed to the for
eign secretaryship in succession to
DR.. Won Kuehlmann, retaining at the
same time the colonial portfolio.
When the overturn Of the govern
ment took place last month, DR..
Solf was continued as the head of
the foreign office In what was styled
the coalition cabinet and continued
to act as the mouthpiece of the for
eign office under the Ebert govern
ment. AS such he sent a series Of
messages to the Washington govern
ment, making various appeals for
notifications of the arnistice con-
ditions and for assistance to the Ger
man pSOpJe' III iHIu-NONeHIpe1' AO"-
ever, he was advised by Secretary
Lansing to refer any future appeals
to the allies instead of to the Unit
cd States alone.
DR.. Soils continued presence in
the government has been vehemently
objected to by the more radical of
the German political elements as
savoring too much of the old German
regime, and campaign has been in
progress against him. The demands
for his rctirements were specifically
voiced in resolutions adopted by the
soldiers and worlmen's council at
Berlin and emphatic calls from Ba-
varfa that he be eliminated.

Important Statement.

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are continually
being advertised for the purpose Of max
ing thin people feshy. developing arms,
neck and bust, and replacing ugly hOl-
lows and angles by the soft curved lines
Of health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands Of men and women who keenly
feel their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due 70 starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than a. contained IN
modern foods. Physicians claim there
Is nothing that will supply this deficiency
30 well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bitro- phosphate, which
Is Inexpensive and Is sold by y. h. Dan
forth and most all druggists under a
guarantee OF satisfaction or money back.
By feeding the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements, hitro- phosphate
quickly produces a welcome transf0rma-
tion In the appearance; the increase In
weight frequently being astonishing.

MAY DISTRIBUTE
MILK BY zones
Government Expert Tells
Producers Plan Has Been
Found Satisfactory
PRICE FIGHT UP
SATURDAY AUG. "a

As a result OF a conference between
milk producers and a committee OF the
Retail MIX Dealers Association, held
at the office OF Edmund Mitchell, food
administrator, yesterday afternoon, a
general meeting OF the Producers As
sOciatOn, was called for Saturday, Au-
gust "a for the purpose OF consider
ing the price OF milk after August. The
zoning system for milk distribution
was one Of the chief phases considered
at yesterdays meeting, and Professor
Clyde L. KingS a government official,
who met with the association, sug-
gested that the system be adopted in
this city.
He cOntended that I'm all munltion
centers, such as Wilmington is, that
the distribution Of milk, would either
have TO be by zone, or else through
grocery stores.
Such has been the case in other
war centers, and he stated that he
believed such conditions would even
tually come about here.
II developed at the meeting that
the basis Of the price upon which
there is hope OF an agreement being
reached, is the Philadelphia market
price. With this price would also
have TO be considered the quality Of
the milk obtained In Philadelphia.
Whether II shoud be tested milk or
bought by the quart. was one Of the
questions that will have to be deter
mined at subsequent meetings.
DR.. Kings experience and his repu-
tation as an arbitrator In such mat
tiers. led to his statements Of facts
being accepted without question, and
there was a hearty disposition on the
part Of both sides TO accept his ser
vices with the utmost good will.
