ston Spencer Churchill made this an
nouncement in a speech
David Lloyd George, British prime

Peace Based On Stern Justice.
London.-(British wireless service.)
Sir Auckland Geddes, president Of
the local government board and min
lister Of national service, in a public
address said the line of policy advoc-
hted by the coalition government was
peace which, so far as enemy pow
ers were concerned, should be based
on stern justice and so far as those
men who planned and started the war
were concerned should be founded on
justice of the nature meted out in the
highest courts Of the land.
Such men as the former German
emperor, Enver Pasha and former
rulers of Bulgaria and Austria would
be placed on trial and if found guilty,
their lives would be forfeited

civilian inhabitants of invaded lands"
he continued, must stand trial, and
IL they are condemned, must suffer
DEATH"
1t had to be proved how far COM
manders of submarines acted under
orders, which they had to carry out
under pain of death. or how far they
acted on their own volition, he point
ed out, but If atrocities at sea were
committed on volition of individual
commanders, he declared, they too,
must suffer the extreme penalty.
To-day is the day Of reckoning for
our enemies" said the minister,
land they will have to pay to the
uttermost farthing what it is posi-
BILE to bring out of them"
Britain Will Rule Seas.
Dundee, Observation-Disclosures must
continue to rule the waves. She will
not suffer any Arrangement whatso-
ever of her "well tried and well-de-
served naval supremacy" No argu-
ment or appeals-no matter from
what quarter-will sway her from
this stand.
Colonel Churchill's statement was
the first positive, clear-cut, and UNI
compromising utterance on the SUD-
ject made by any member of the gov
eminent since signing of the armis-
tice.
The munitions minister announced
Great Britain does not intend to take
back Helgoland, Germany's Gibraltar
in the North sea-" because this is UNI
necessary. He also announced the
governments decision in favor OF ma
tionalization Of railways.
1--WE intend to make the Germans
pay for harm they have done to the
uttermost farthing they are capable
Of paying" said Colonel Churchill
viii Demand Wilhelm.
With regard to Wilhelm Hohen-
zollern the speaker said
1--WE have, so far as Great Britain
Is concerned, decided that so far as
our influence goes. We shall demand
his surrender. Stern justice must be
melted out to him and his accomplices.
I'VE shall also insist those German
subjects in this country or others or
German origin who have abused our
hospitality and who are informed shall
go back to their country when peace
is signed, and, in my opinion, 1t would
not be right until the country has
again been consulted in three or four
years time that we reconsider the
whole situation Of allowing other
Germans coming into this country
from outside.
Must Pay "Ton For Tom"
"Ton for ton for gold or other
securities or any other liquid securi-
ties which Germans might dispose OF
we intend to exact Of them, subject
to the condition that In exacting them
we must not do anything that will in
jure our own trade.
"Alsace-Lorraine must be given
back to the French without qualifica-
lions Of any kind.
POLAND must be reconstructed as .
nation.
None of the German colonies or
Turkish provinces we have captured
will be given back to Germany or
Turkey They must be disposed OF
in agreement with all other Allies at
the peace conference, in accordance
