CONFIDENT AS
HUNS THREATEN

EDINBURGH, May 24.-"The next few
weeks viii be race between Hinden-
burg and Wilson" Premier Lloyd
George declared in 8 speech here TO-
day.
"The Germans are straining every
muscle 70 reach their goal before Amer
ica's help is available.
"ThIs Is no time to organize cam
paigns 10 harass the men who are In
charge OF the destinies OF nations. There
ought to be a truce in such campaigns,
at least until the offensive'is over.
Il can honestly say that the British
government has neglected no possible
means Of ascertaining whether there is
any honorable outlet from the war.
I'VE are dealing with ruthless Prus-
sian despotism, which is out for plum
der and plllage. Their latest treaties
restrain Germany as little today as they
did when Belgium was invaded"
"The submarine is still a MANAGE, but
Is no longer a peril; Il Is still formid-
able for inflicting injury, but It cannot
cause the winning or the losing OF the
war" The premier declared the Allies
are building ships faster than the sub
marines can sink them, and at the same
time the Allied navies are sinking sub
marines faster than Germany can build
them. He said that an Admiralty report
showed that during April a record Of
Of submarines was estab-
lished while in the same month the
record Of ship building exceeded the
losses for the first time since the sub
marien warfare began.
ION the eve Of the German attack
those best acquainted with the pros
poets are the most confident OF the re-
suit" he declared.
