PIE, SAYS LLOYD GEORGE.
Enemy Will Have to Settle to Limit of
Her Capacity for Devasta-
ton of War.

London, Dec. Germany must
ray a war indemnity up to her capac-
ity. Premier Lloyd George announced
in an address at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
At the same time Mr.. Lloyd George de-
clared there would be "sternly just
peace"
AS to lndemnlties, the prime minis
ter said: '"rhe principle always has
been that the loser must pay. That is
the principle we should now proceed
upon regarding Germany. She must
pay the cost up to her capacity"
The premier indicated that he favors
punishment for the kaiser when he
said:
"We should so act now that men in
the future, when they are tempted to
follow the example of the German rul-
ers, would know what is awaiting them
in the end"
When the premier referred to the
responsibility for the war;" he was
interrupted by cries of: THE kaiser,
the kaiser" and when he referred to
the violations of international law
there were shouts of: Hang the kai-
ser Shoot him! !" followed by cheers.
Mr.. Lloyd George continued: SIS no
body to be punished for the crimes of
the war? l mean to sec that the men
who mistreated our prisoners shall be
made responsible. But 1 do not want
when the war is over to pursue any
policy of vengeance"
The premier declared that the Ger

punishment for their crimes, adding
"As to the culpability of the authors
