Nothing but heart failure on the part of the British nation can prevent our achieving a real victory" said Pre- mier Lloyd George speaking today at Manchester.
 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 league of nations and that in
 fact league already had been begun. The British empire, he said, was a league of free nations and that the al- lied countries fighting the battle for in ternational right were now a league of free nations.
 A Durable Peace.
 "To end all wars," the premier said, i've must impose a durable peace from our enemies. The Prussian mill itary power must not only be beaten but Germany herself must know and the German people must know that their rulers have outriged the laws of humanity, and that Prussian power cannot protect them from punish ment."
 "This must be the last wtr," Mir. Lloyd George said. Don't let us be mislead that the establishment of league of nations without power will in itself secure the world against a catastrophe. A league of nations with
 the Prussian military power trium-

 league of nations, the premier said, was victory for the allies. Peace
 must be of kind, he added, that lcommends itself to the common sense conscience of the nations. As a | whole it must not be dictated by, ex- treme men on either side. selves, nor impose upon our foes "We shall neither accept for our selves nor impose upon onr foes a
