WAR COST TO

Lloyd George Says Huns
Must Pay All-Opposes
Conscript Armies.

Bristol, Dec. 12.-Conscript arm
les on the European continent are
inevitably aggressive and lead to
war. The peace conference, there
fore, must do away with conscrip-
ton.
The British navy is a defensive
weapon. and Britain, therefore,
means to keep it without abridge-
ment.
Thus, in substance. Premier Lloyd
George, in a speech here today, met
the charge which for a time was
the hinge and the ak of all of Ger
many's war eXcuses-the charge
that 'navalism IS as bad as militar-
ISM
The prime minister said in effect
that Britain cannot be accused of
navalism because her navy was not
an offensive weapon. but was mere
Iy meant to protect the British Isles
from invasion. In other words,
there was no room whatever for a
comparison between the continental
cOnscript armies and Britain's ma
val weapon Of self-defense.
Demand Foe Pay All.
On the subject Of payment of the
costs Of the war, the premier said:
Eve propose to demand the whole
costs of the war from Germany"
CThe premier estimated that the
allied war bill will reach 24,0o0.-
100000 pounds sterling, or nearly
$12O 900 ,00O,0OO)
A special investigating commit
tee appointed by the cabinet, he
said, had looked into Germans fl
nanciaI and economic status and
had reported that Germany was ca
pable of paying the whole cost
Asks Tried of Kaiser.
The ex-kaiser and his accom-

the crime Of &nl0osing the war, and
he hoped President Wilson would
