ASSOCIATED Press Review.)

tNesoCIdteu TTcSS neVleW.t
Premier Lloyd George, in a stirring
address to British labor, today on
the man power situation, pointed out
the urgent need for raising more men
for the army.
"The people must either 90 on or
60 under" the premier exclaimed, in
holding up to the labor interests the
danger to democracy in Great Britain
and Europe in general, if the people
were not prepared to stand up to the
German military autooracy and fight
it down. No democracy, he declared
bad ever long survived the failure Of
| it's adherents to be ready to die for it,
Directors Answered.
Certain sections of British labor
have been demurring to the new man
power program of the government and
it evidently was at these interests
that the premier's remarks were chiefly
directed. He pointed out that there
had been general agreement regarding
the allied war aims, as expressed both
by him and by President Wilson, and
aims condition made by the British
trade unionists in their recent pro-
nouncement had been answered by any
German authority.
On the contrary, he declared, the
Germans were still controlled by the
dominant Prussan military power
which purposed giving it's answer from
the cannon's mouth.
Austria Unsettled.
The Austrian internal situation is
pictured in dispatches from Switzer-
land as troubled, with the strikes ac-
companied by serious rioting occurring
in Vienna and other industrial centers
throughout Austria. Apparently the
veil of the censorship has been dropped
over the situation, as no Austrian
newspapers have reached Switzerland
since Wednesday.
An apparent deadlock in the peace
negotiations with the central powers, |
threatened war with Rumania and the |
hostility of the Ukraine are the diff. |
culties faced by the boIshevik govern
