Otherwise War Continues.

With The American Army on the
British Front, July 6.-(By the A. P.)
Until Germany accepts the condi-
tions laid down by President Wilson,
she cannot have peace and she can
have peace tomorrow IL she accepts
them. David Lloyd-George. the Brit
ish premier gave this message to the
American troops training on the Brit
ish front after he had seen them at
review today.
The arrival IN France of one mil
lion American soldiers had made the
German emperor realize that his de-
feat was certain. The emperor, the
premier said, had had many illusions
regarding the war. One of these
was that the new American troops
would not be capable of meeting those
Of Germany. trained to the minute,
Premier Lloyd George reiterated
forcefully that the allies do not covet
a single yard OF German Soil and do
not desire to dispossess Germany of
her rightful Inheritance or the Ger
man people of their legitimate rights.
The British prime minister stood in
an automobile in the center OF the sun
bronzed Americans who have recent
ly landed In France. Beside him were
Viscount Miner. the British secretary
Of state for war, and William Morris
Hughes. the Australian premier. Mr..
Lloyd George said IN part:
General desire to congratulate
you on being in command Of such a
fine body Of men. When I see them
am glad they are on our side. not
on the other. We are anxious that
the ocean The fact that you are
here at all ts b. source OF great joy
to all OF US.
AT the same time It IL source Of
great disappointment TO the kaiser
who never quite expected you. He
was assured by his advisers that
Amer lea was SO pacific there was no
danger OF her getting In. OF course
a mistake was committe. He has
gone from folly to folly. His next
Illusion was that even If you declared
war you could not get here. His ad-'
visers said that all the ships would
be sunk and there would be no means
remaining to bring you across the
sea.
But you are here, not a part of a
force OF few thousands, but a part
of a force of hundred Of thousands
to fight for justice and the freedom
OF the world.
Chateau Thierry opened the kais-
er's eyes to another mistake. Yes
terday In Paris I saw your comrades
who fought at Chateau Thierry car
rying their flag. And they carried
IL high. proud OF the fact that they
had not lowered it on the battle
fields OF Europe. The French gem
erals have talked to have expressed
delight with the fighting qualities of
Americans So the kaiser's advisers
and the kaiser realize they have made
another mistake.
I'VE are grateful that you are here
to fight, but of course you are not
fighting only for America not only
for France which has suffered more
than any nation in the world has
ever suffered.gyou are fighting for the
liberties of the world. In your faces
we see source OF great hope We
see there determination to win
President Wilson made. it clear
what we are fighting for. II the
kaiser and his advisers will accept
the conditions voiced by the president
hey can have peace with Americs
