iciert force to turn the tide against

Premier George Says i'll Order to OBJ
tain Perfect Peace the Prac-
tice Must Cease.

! London, Dec. 12.-Prenlier Lloyt
George, speaking yesterday at Bristo
said the English Military Service acI
was passed in order to meet great
clnergenc;-. When that emergency was
passed the need was passed and the
act would lapse.
| He added there was no intention to
rerew it. Whether Great Britain would
require CONSUMPTION in the future, ir
any shape or form, Mr.. Lloyd George
said, depended not upon the opinior
which he now expressed, but upon the
peace terms which were made Con.
t:nuing, the Prime Minister said:
"What drove us to consciiption was
the existence of conscript armies on
The continent that inevitably rushed
the world into war. They could moi
have great military machines with.
out tempting the men at the head o,
hem to try their luck with those ma
chimes. The Germans always felt there
was nothing to resist in their perfeci
military machine.
IF you want a permanent peace, il
you want to prevent the horrors o..
yl;is war being repeatd, you must pu'
an end to conscript armies on the Con
:inent Of Europe.
The Premier in showing Germany
liabilities in bringing on the late wa
SAID:
"First-As far as justice is con.
:orned we have an absolute right Il !
sngand the whole cost Of the wal
from Germany.
"Secord-We propose to demand thu
whole cost of the war from Germany

"Tlsird-When you come to the ex !
act;ng of it we must exact in such
way that it does not do more harm tc !
inc country that receives it than the |
,ountry that is paying it.
"Fourth-The committee appointed |
y. the British Cabinet believes tbs;
'lat can be done.
"Fifth-The Allies are in exactl, !
he same boat. We shall put in ou
demands all together, and whatever
ncy are they must come in front
f the German war debt"
The Brine Minister continued:
The first consideration in the minds
f the Allies will be the interests OF
he people upon whom the Germans
,lve made war and not in the in
Jfects of the German people who have
made war and have been guilty OF
lat crime"
With regard to the former German

YtsoIutely no doubt that he has com
nittad a crime against internationa
