FUNDAMENTAL JUSTICE

No Settlement That Contravenes
Justice Can BE Permanent,
Says Lloyd George.

London, Nov 18.-"One OF the
principle issues at the forthcoming
general election will be the nature

mean the settlement OF the world"
Premier Lloyd George made this
announcement in an address to his
liberal supporters on November II;
"What are the principles on which
that settlement is to be effected?"
he asked. Are we to lapse back in
TO the old national rivalries, animosi-
ties and competitive armaments. or
are we to initiate the reign on earth
or the Prince OF Peace? 1t is the
duty OF liberalism to use its in
nuence to insure that IL shall be
reign Of peace.
What are conditions OF peace?
They must lead to a settlement
which will be fundamentally just.

America Deeper In This War
Than Any Other Nation
BY President Ray Lyman Wilbur,
Of Stanford University.

by Preeloent Kay Lyman Wilpur,
Of Stanford University.
We must realize that we are
deeper In this war than any other
nation, for we have said. through
our President, that our peace II to
be with the German people, not
with the Hohenzollern. We have
then the problem OF providing the
additional offensive strength need
ed to defeat the greatest war lord
In history with millions OF trained
veterans under his control. To do
this, we must see the issues clear
ly and back up those at the front
by our actions each hour OF each
day. The morale OF the lighting
armies will settle this war. We
must see that the morale OF our
men and that OF those who fight
with us is kept at high tide. We
can do so II they can feel our sup.
port oil OF the time.
Now Is the great opportunity OF
the American people 10 demon
strate that our form OF govern
ment is success. IN we do not
oil OF us. at once. voluntarily and
willingly get behind those who
fight and die for us. in every phase
OF our life. and now particularly
realize that food Is powder to win
the war. then We are going 20 fail
in this, our immediate pressing
duty, and be n despised and hum
Hated nation. We must be a great
united democracy fighting our way
forward toward final victory.
There can be but one outcome OF
this war and we must steel our
selves for any misfortune. for any
reverse. with our minds united and
fixed upon the idea OF a final VIC
tory.
