PREPARATION FOR INJURIES
 IN VIOLATION OF LAWS

"Finally," continued the premier. there must be reparation for injuries done in violation of international law. The peace conference must not forget our seamen and the services they have renderd and the outrages they have suffered for the common cause of free dom.
 "One regrettable omission we noticed in the central powers proposals We believe that a great attempt must be made to establish great international organization as means of settling in- ternatonal disputes. War is relic of barbarsm. and as law has succeeded violence in the settlement of individu- als' disputes, so it is destined to set tie national controversies.
 We are fighting for just and last ing peace" declared the premier, in conclusion. Three conditions must be fulfilled:
 Firstly, the sancity of treaties must be re-established; secondly, territorial settlement must be based on the right of self determination or the consent of the governed; lastly, the creation of an international organization to limit armaments and diminish the probabil- ity of war.
 ITO secure those conditions the Brit ish empire is prepared to make even greater sacrifices"

 The premier said he would not at tempt to deal with the question of the Russian territories now in German occu- patton. The Russian policy since the revolution has passed through so many phases that it was difficult to speak, without some suspension of judgment. as to what the situation would be when the terms of the European peace come to be discussed. Referring to the facts that the war was started by Russia's de- cision to protect Servian independence, and that the present rulers of Russia had entered into separate peace nego- tiations, the premier said:
 T am indulging in no reproaches l am stating facts to make it clear why Britain cannot be held accountable for decisions taken in her absence and con cluding which she has not consulted, or hay oid

 The complete plans for the school chill dren's thrift campaign, to start Monday were announced yesterday. The state committee and pr. J. IT.

 The plan is to organize Limited States War Savings Societies. composed of al least 10 members each. The primary ob- ject of the societies is the same as that of the baby bond issue-to bring the

POLAND
 IS ANOTHER NECESSITY

An independent Poland comprising all genuinely Polish elements who desire to participate, is an urgent necessity for the stability of western Europe.
 Though we agree with President Will son that the breaking up of Austria Hungary is not part of our war aims, we feel that unless genuine self-govern- ment on true democratic principles is granted those Austro- Hungarian nation alities who have long desired 1t, it is inn possible to hope for the removal of those causes of unrest in that part of Europe which have so long threatened it's general peace.

RUSSIA HAS BEEN
 DECEIVED BY ENEMIES

Nobody who knows Prussia and her designs toward Russia can doubt her ul- innate intention. Whatever phases she uses to delude Russia, she does not mean to surrender any of the Russian provinces and cities now occupied. Un- der one name or another they will hence forth be part of the Prussian dominions ruled by the Prussian sword, and the rest of the Russians will be enticed or bullied into complete economic and ulti- mat te political enslavement.
 Democracy in this country will stand to the last by the democracies of France and Italy. We should be proud to fight to the end side by side with the new Russian democracy. So would America, France and Italy. But if the present rulers of Russia act independently we have no means to arrest the catastrophe. Russia can only be saved by her own peODle

 PLEDGE CARDS READY
 Pledge cards have been printed and will be distributed to the school children. The members of the society are those who will sign these cards, pledging them selves to save as much as possible dur ing 1918, and to discourage waste in any form. This is the only fee.
 Promotions in rank will follow as qual- ifications are displayed, and in direct proportion to the amount of effort ex- pended in the work. The detailed plans Of the campaign, which are quite lengthy, are very complete, and it is expected that the work of organizing Young America will be done in record time.
 The Treasury Department has provided marks of distinction to be given for service rendered. miniature liberty torch to be affixed to the clothing, is the insigna chosen. and commissions will be issued as the work progresses. Those securing 10 new members will be made Soldiers of Thrift; for p, a captain; 5o, a mdJor, lOo, cOlonel ana 2Vpi q gen eral Much interest is already being dis played by the school children in the work and the plan is expected to be very welcome one to them.
 TOUR OF STATE
 State Director Crawford Johnson has pla anned tour of the entire state in the interest of the baby bond issue, includ- ing every county seat, but as he expects to make the trip in a flivver he is wait ing until the weather makes a change. He stated yesterday that the roads were in no condition for travel at the present time, and that as the work needed to be done. he expected to begin as soon as weather conditions would permit.
 It has been discovered that the 100 per cent. thrifty family spoken of in yes- terday's paper is none other than that of Judge Thomas R. Lea, the efficient judge Of the Third division of the municipal court. When approached on the subject yesterday he said: T don't consider that man needs so much credit for buying these bonds. Of course, in way it is a patriotic act. but the purchaser gets by far the best of the bargain. Every man, woman and child in the country should own them"

NOT FIGHTING WAR OF
 CONQUEST AGAINST GERMANY

We may begin by clearing away some misunderstanding, said the premier, and stating what we are not lighting for. We are not fighting a war of aggression against the German peo- pie. Their leaders have persuaded them that they are fighting war of self defense against a league of rival nations bent on destruction of Germany. The destruction or disruption of Germany has never been a war ann with us. Most reluctantly and quite unprepared we were forced to join in this war in self-defense. in defense of violated law in Europe.
 The British people have never aimed at the breaking up of the German peoples or the disintegration of their state. Our wish is not to destroy Germany S great position in the world, but to turn her aside from schemes of military domination, to devote her strength to the beneficient tasks of the world.
 We are not fighting to destroy Aus tri-Hungary, or to deprive Turkey of its capital or the rich lands of Asia Minor and Thrace, which are predom- inately Turkish.

DESTRUCTION OF GERMAN

 slider a military, autocratic constitution
 dangerous anachronism. Our view point is that the adoption of a demo- cratic constitution by Germany would be the most convincing evidence that her old spirit of military domination had indeed died in this war, and 1t would make 1t much easier for us to conclude a broad, democratic peace with her. But that Is question for the German people to decide.
 Tt Is more than year since the President of the United States advised the billigerents by suggestion that each side should state clearly the aims for which they were fighting. We replied i; the central powers did not and they have maintained complete silence as to to the objects for which they are fight ing. Even on so crucial matter as
 their intention regarding Belgium they
 have declined to give any trustworthy in dication'
 Referring to the procurement by Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, at the Brest-Litovsk peace conference on December 9, that it was not the intention of the central powers to appropriate forcibly any oc- cupied territories rob it of it's inde- pendence any nation which lost it's po- litical independence during the war, MT. Lloyd George said 1t was obvious that any scheme of conquest and annexation could be perpetrated within the literal interpretation of such a pledge. EQUALITY OF RIGHT
 AMONG ALL NATIONS We must know what is meant. said the premier, flor equality of right among nations, small we'll as great, Is one of the fundamental issues this coun- try and her allies are fighting to estab- fish,"
 Preparation for Belgian towns and vil- lages and their inhabitants, he asserted, had been repudiated emphatically by the central powers, and the rest of their so-called offers were almost entirely a refusal of all concessions. On one point only were they clear. Under no circum- stances would Germany's demand for the restoration of the whole of her colonies be departed from. All the principles of self tion here vanish.
 MERE LIP SERVICE OF GERMANS IS USELESS "It is impossible to believe that any permanent peace can be erected on such a foundation" said the premier. Mere lip service to the formula of no annex ! ation, no indemnity and self-determina- l ton Is useless.
 lHe uays oi tne treaty oi FieAha CT :! long past We can no longer submit the l future of European civilization to the arbitrary decisions of a few negotiators ! striving to secure by chicanery or Fer suason the interests of this or that dy- nasty or nation.

EXPRESSED VIEW OF
 ALL SECTIONS OF THOUGHT

The premier said that during the last few days he had taken special pains to ascertain the view and attitude of rep resentative men of all sections of thought in the country. He had read the state- ment of labor's war aims; he had dis cussed war aims with MT. Asquith, the former premier, and Viscount Grey, the former foreign secretary. Had the na- t:onalist leaders in Ireland not been en- gagged with the tangled problem of Irish sef-government, he would have been happy to exchange views with them, but Mir. Redmond, speaking in their behalf, had made clear what his ideas are as to the object and purpose of the war. He had also consulted with representatives of the overseas dominions
 As result or these discussions, he continued, although the government alone vas responsible for the actual language ne proposed using, there was national agreement as to the character and pur- pose of the nations war aims and peace conditions. He was speaking, therefore, not merely the mind of the government, but the mind of the nation and empire. nj
