Roscoe G. Simmons, the speaker, was
given an ovation when introduced. He
delivered an address. For being late
he said it was due to the fact that he
had to stop to look at the building and
he was proud that he did, because he
was a Negro from top to bottom. He
said that the building represented
brains and money combined, both in
possession Of the Malones. "To build
up great race, great institution, you
must have the combination Of brains

Thanksgiving.
There were many interesting features
connected with the day at Poro. It
opened with Thanksgiving services in
the auditorium presided over by Mrs,
Malone-in fact this is the service that
she had charge Of and in which she
seemingly entered with her whole soul
and heart. She had many things for
which she was thankful, among them
being an opportunity to serve. She
liked to serve and to her it was source
of pleasure all the time. She read the
scripture lesson in keeping with the
occasion.
f Each employee and Poro agent had
something to say, and it was to hear
the story told by the women who were
the agents of Poro. Several who had

BRITISH PREMIER

LLOYD GEORGE MAKES STIRRING
ADDRESS IN WHICH HE GIVES
STATEMENT OF ALLIED AIMS.
RUSSIA WARNED OF DANGER
Germans Must Restore Occupied Ter
ritory and Pay Damages-Aisace
Must Be Restored-Trent and
Triest to Italy. Turks to Stay.

London. = Declaring emphatically-
that Great Britain's democracy would
stand to the bitter end alongside Of
the democracies of France and Italy
in the struggle against the central,
powers, asserting that democratic
Russia would be still welcomed as
an ally, but that the Russian people
must choose for themselves in this
matter, and charging that peace pro-
posed along the lines laid down by
the latest Germanic offers to Russia
could not be permanent, Premier
Lloyd George, addressing the trades
unions on the subject of wal aimss
gave the clearest exposition of Great.
Britain's reception of the recent Ger
man offer for peace yet made by any
OF the allied powers.
The premier asserted that England
was not fighting to overthrow any OF
the enemy peoples, had no thought Of
conquest or of driving any nation
from ~peaceable power, but he de-
clared in ringing terms that the es-
Enlistment Of a democratic form Of
government in Germany would be the
most convincing evidence that the.
| spirit Of militarism was dead in that
nation.
Before permanent peace can come"
the Welsh statesman dramatically
concluded, three conditions must be-,
fulfilled:
"First-The sanctity of the treaty
must be established.
"Second-There must be TERRITORIAL
settlements based on the consent Of
those governed.
"Third-And lastly, there must be-
created some international organiza-.
ton to limit the burden of ornaments
and diminish the probability of war"
Britain, he insisted, with her allies,
were battling for these principles:
Frst-Complete restoration of Bel.
GUM.
Second-Reparation, as far as pos.
sible, for devastated towns and cities.
Observation-Disclosures and interna-
tionalization Of the Dardanelles.
Observation-Disclosures" OF the.
great wrong done to France in 1871.
referring to Alsace-LQrraine.
Fifth-establishment of an indie
pendent Poland, comprising all genu-
inely Polish elements, because this is
necessary to the stability of Western
Europe"
Sixth-Arabia, Armenia, Mesopo-
tamia, Syria and Palestine all to have,
separate national conditions.
Seventh-Russia's future to be left
to decision of the Russian people,
themselves.
observation-disclosures Of the African
colonies to be placed under an adj
ministration acceptable to themselves;
for the purpose of preventing exploit.
alton for the benefit of European
capitalists and European govern
ments."
