The long train which took the

up the Moselle valley and the Ameri-

in an address here today, in which
he announced that "the conscript

Concerning the termination of con-
scription in Europe, the premier as
serted: IF we want permanent peace,
and to prevent a repetition of the
horrors of this war, we must end the
conscript armies Of the continent.
"There is an irresistible desire on
the part of the heads Of those ma
chimes to try their luck. The Ger.

resist their perfect war machine,
hence they hurled it against the
world"
Premier Lloyd George added that
conscription in England has lapsed
with the passing of the emergency
which made it necessary, and the
question of whether 1t would be
needed in the future or not depends
entirely upon the peace terms"
"The navy" he continued, "is
