NO "BREST PEACE"
FOR ALLIES OR FOE,
SAYS LLOYD GEORGE
Premier, Declaring Victory on
Way, Insists This War
Must Be Last.

MANCHESTER, England, Sept. L.
Nothing but heart failure on the
part OF the British nation can prevent
our achieving a real victory" said
Premier Lloyd George. speaking to-
day at Manchester.
THE news is distinctly good-really
good" said the Premier. I'VE are GO
ing through a long tunnel and are not
at the end OF the Journey. There is
some steep gradient to climb. It may
be that the tunnel will be dark, but
1t will be short now that tho worst
Is over"
The Premier said that the British
casualties in the last offensive in
France were one-fifth Of what they
were in 1916
Premier Lloyd George said he was
all for a league of nations, and that
in fact league already had been
begun. The British Empire, he said,
was league OF free nations and the
Allied countries fighting the battle
for international right, were now a
league of free nations.
Continuing the Premier said:
I'VE shall neither accept for our
selves nor impose upon our foes a
Brest-Litovsk treaty.
I'VE cannot allow the 'Bolsheviki'
to force on us peace so humiliating
as to dishonor the national flag and
to make a repetition OF the horrors
OF this war inevitable. When a salts
factory peace has been secured we
can proceed with a clear conscience
to build up new world.
THE Prusslan military power must
not only be beaten. but Germany her
self must know and the German peo-
pie must know that their rulers have
outraged the laws of humanity and
that Prussian strength cannot protect
them from punishment.
This must be the last war. Don't
let US be misled that the establish
ment Of League OF Nations withou.
power will in itself secure the world
against a catastrophe. A League OF
Nations with the Prussian military
power triumphant would be a league
OF fox and geese-one fox and many
geese. The geese would greatly dl-
minish in numbers"
The only sure foundation for
League OF nations. the Premier said.
was a victory for the Allies. Peace
must be OF a kind. he added. that
commends itself to the common sense
conscience OF the nations. AS a whole
is must not be dictated by extreme
men on either side.
In speaking OF the prospective Al
lied victory, Mn Lloyd George said:

OF PEACE OFFENSIVE,

or Striking in Speech to
Krupp Workers.

wASHINar TON. Sept 1.-THE
German peace offensive Is now
recognized by otficials here as being
in full swing. 4 progressive cam
paisn IS clearly indicated TO their
minds by the apparently casual re-
marks OF Premier Won Hertling, few
day ago. followed by the more formal
statement to the visiting German
newspapermen in Vienna by Count
BuriAn, tho Austrian Foreign Minis
ter, the remarks of the German
Grown Prince and now the speech OF
Emperor william himself to the
working people at Essen.
Peace proposals emanating from
these sources would appear incon-
gruous were the officials not firmly
convinced OF the insincerity OF the
movement, which again II recognized
as conceived with the double purpose
OF placating the uneasy and restless
German socialists and at the same
time appealing to the paciflsts In the
Entente countries and America in the
hope of weakening the hands OF the
Allied Governments In the prosecu-
tlon OF the war.

MANY COMMUTERS REGISTER
BEFORE COMING TO CITY.

Reports from suburban communi-
ties showed that the commuters were
registering before starting for New
York. taking no chances on getting
back early enough in the evening.
The Evening Worlds correspondent
at Yonkers reported that 1900 men
were expected TO register in West
chester County. New Rochelle made
a holiday OF II. with bands playing
everywhere and naks flying. The
registration was quieter but just as
busy at Mount Vernon and White
Plains. Jersey City had enrolled al
most half OF its $4,000 quota before
noon.
Neither the police nor the Depart
ment OF Justice agents have found
out who posted the placards advising
men not to register. All such cards
had disappeared this morning. how
ever. and It was clear that their ef.
feet had been negligible. Director
Conboy declared. however, that the
effect on the persons responsible will
be very far from negligible IL they
are caught.
IL was announced at draft head
quarters that members OF foreign
military missions in New York would
be registered there by Director Con-
boy and his assistants, Capt. Asch
and Capt Riegelmann. The first to
register under this arrangement was
Charles Monnet of the l7lst French
Infantry. There are three hundred
members of the French military mis-
sion in New York who must register.
Two calls were sent in for reserves.
Ono came from the Bronx and the
other from a Rivington Street booth.
The disturbances. IL they could be
called by that name, were occasionej
by the rush to register.

MANY NATIONS REPRESENTED

The most cosmopolitan crowd. per-
haps, was that which gathered at the
schoolhouse at Mulberry and Hester
Streets. Nearly every country on
earth was represented and many of
these foreign born, who represented
themselves. had taken out, at least,
their first papers. A great number
OF Chinese and Japanese between the
ages OF eighteen and tweuty-one and
thirty-one and forty claimed to have
been born in this country.

ENVY OF ALLIES LED TO FIGHT
ING, KAISER DECLARES.

Envy induced our enemies to fight,
and war came upon US. And now,
when our opponents see that their
hopes have been deceptive and how
our mighty generals, after whom
named, have dealt them blow upon
blow, hatred springs up. We only
know the honest wrath which deals
tho enemy the blow, but when he
lies PROSTATE and bleeding we ex-
tend to him our hand and see TO his
recovery.
Hatred manifests itself only
among peoples who feel themselves
beaten. IL. therefore. such terrible
hatred exists among our enemies II
owes Its origin 10 the fact that their
calculations have been wrong. Every
one who knows the character of the
Anglo Saxons knows what II means
20 ight them--how tenacious they
are. We do not know when the
struggle will end but one thing we
do know-namely, that We must night
the battle through.
