SHOUTS TO LLOYD GEORGE

Bristol. Eng, Dec. 1.-THE war bill
Of the allies against Germany is a.
O,OOO 900 pounds, according to the
British prime minister. David Lloyd
George, who presented this and other
interesting facts here yesterday. The
cost of the war to Great Britain was
800. 100000 pounds.
Before the war the estimated wealth
Of Germany. said the premier. was
between 1900 900 and 2O.0OO,0OO.-
900 pounds sterling. So, If the whole
wealth of Germany were taken. there
would not be enough to pay the ac-
count. Therefore, he had used the
words Germany should pay to the
utmost limit of her capacity"
When the prime minister was nd
dressing an overflow meeting, he said
Great Britain would be guilty of a
great folly if she gave up her navy.
A voice interrupted: .Then swatch
Wilson,"
The premier replied: swell. hope
to meet him in fortnight. / will tell
him what you say"
wherever the request comes from,
we are not going to give up the pro-
lection of the navy, so far as Great
Britain is concerned" he added.

advised the closing of the public
schools on the first sign of the re
appearance of the epidemic. He said
the disease apparently now tended tc
occur more frequently among school
children.
"Our main reliance" DIR. Blse said,
