By the Associated Press.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE
BRITISH FRONT, July 6.-On the occa-
sion Of his review Of the American
troops in training here on the British
front yesterday. in which he said that
Germany could not have peace until
she accepted the conditions laid down
by President Wilson. and that she could
have peace tomorrow II she accepted
them. Premier Lloyd George said in
part:
General -: I desire to congratu-
late you on being in command OF such
a fine body of men. When I see them
/ am glad they are on our side. not on
the other. We are anxious that many
more thousands come across the ocean.
The fact that you are here at all Is
a source of great Joy to all of us.
AT the same time it Is a source of
great disappointment to the Kaiser. who
never quite expected you. He was
assured by his advisers that America
was so pacific there was no danger of
her getting in. OF course, a mistake
was committed. He has gone from
folly to folly. His next illusion was
that even II you declared war you could
not get here. His advisers said that
all the ships would be sunk and there
| would be no means remaining to bring
| you across the sea.
But you are here, not a part of a
force OF few thousands. but a part OF
| force of hundreds Of thousands to
| fight for justice and the freedom OF
| the world.
Chateau Thierry opened the Kaiser S
| eyes to another mistake. Yesterday In
| Paris / saw your comrades who fought
at Chateau Thierry carrying their flag.
And they carried 1t high. proud of the
fact they had not lowered 1t on the
battlefields of Europe. The French
generals have talked to have ex-
pressed delight with the lighting quail
ties Of Americans. So the Kaiser's ad-
visers and the Kaiser realize they have
| made another mistake.
We are grateful that you are here
| to fight, but of course you are not
| fighting only for America. not only for
| France. which has suffered more than
any nation In the world has ever suf-
fered you are fighting for the liber-
ties of the world. In your faces alone
we have source Of great hope. We
see there determination to win and we
| are confident.
| President Wilson yesterday made II
| clear what We are fighting for II
the Kaiser and his advisers will accept
| the conditions voiced by the President
they can have peace with America
peace with France, peace with Great
| Britain tomorrow.
| But he has given no Indication of an
| intention to do So Because he will
not do 30 Is the very reason we all are
fighting.
| What are we here for? Not be-
cause we covet single yard Of German
soil Not because We desire to dis
possess Germany OF her inheritance
Not because we desire to deprive tns
German people Of their legitimate rights
We are fighting for the great principles
laid down by President Wilson
II am delighted to have seen these
men here near the field of the creates,
battle the world has ever known. We
stand here. as a great American has said
at Armageddon fighting for the Lord
AZ MI Lloyd George concluded the
countryside resounded with three cheers
in regulation American style. Previou.

! watched American and British troops
training together on nearby fields.
