GERMANY MUST PAY AND WILHELM STAND TRIAL
 SAYS BRITISH PREMIER

great emergency. When that emergency is passed, the act will lapse, and there is no intention to renew it.
 Whether conscription will be required in the future in any form depends not upon the opin- ions which I now express, but upon the peace terms that are to be made.
 What drove us to conscrip- tion was the existence of con script armies on the continent which inevitably rushed the world into war. They could not have great military machines without tempting the men at the heads of them to try their luck with those machines. The Ger mans felt that there was nothing to resist their perfect military machine.
 'If you want permanent peace, if you want to prevent the hor- TOTS of this war being repeated. you must put an end to consoript armies on the continent of Flu rope.
 "The first thing to do is to prevent the repetition of the bIunders of the past by making it impossible to have these great conscript armies in the future.
 we had not the machinery for an offensive war. Our navy was a defensive weapon, and not an offensive one, and that was why we do not mean to give it up.
 we have kept these islands free from invasion for centuries and we mean to take no risks in the future"
 With regard to the ex-kaiser, MT. Lloyd George said:
 There is absolutely no doubt that he has committed a crime aginst international right. There is absolutely no doubt that he ought to be held responsible for it as far as the European Allies are concerned---and I hope that America will take the same view when President Wilson arrives, as to the demand that will be put forward on the par< of all Euro pear Allies to make the Kaiser and his accomplices responsible for this terrible crime"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-12-12

"The decision that will be taken in the next few months in the peace conference is going to cave a mark upon tAe world. Ages to come will be able to reap the fruits of 1t.
 "The war has cost Germany less than 1t has cost us. It has cost us 100000 ($4O,ooO,- 000,oO0)-a gigantic sum.
 "The German bill, I believe, is six or seven thousand millions ($SO,OOO. 100000 or $35,OoO,0Oo,- 000.)
 Tt is indefensible that the per- son who is in the wrong and has lost should pay less than the per son who is declared to be in the right and has won. A British inn perial commission was appointed to investigate the capacity of Germany and I have received its report.
 "1-As far as justice is con- cerned, we have an absolute right to demand the whole cost of the war from Germany.
 "2-We propose to demand the whole cost of the war from Ger many.
 "3-@When you come to the ex- acting of 1t you must exact 1t in such a way that 1t does not do more harm to the country that receives 1t than to the country that is paying 1t.
 "4-The committee appointed by the British Cabinet believes that that can be done.
 "5-Our Allies are in the same boat. We shall put our demands all together and whatever they are they must come in front of the German war debt"
 The premier said the first con- sideration in the minds of the Allies would be the interests of the people upon whom the Ger mans had made war, and not the interests of the German people who had made war and had been guilty of the crime. With regard to conscription, the Prime Minister said:
 "The English Military Service Act was passed in order to meet

The Experts Say--

Remember that the car will
stop more quickly and with less
shock If the brakes are applied in
termittently, than If they are
damned on, thus sliding the rear
wheels. This method Of putting
on the brakes should be applied,
then released, then applied, then
released, until the car comes cas-
lily to a stop. Keep the clutch
engaged just long enough not to
stall the motor.

DEALERS
TO HELP
TOURIST

The Willys-Overland company
is working out plans whereby ev-
cry dealer will act as an infor-
nation bureau for tourists who
winsbe visitors at the great Amer
lean army camps this summer.
Word has just been sent out by
John N. WHY'S to every distrib-
utor and dealer, located all over
the United States, urging all mo-
florists to use the Overland deal
err to give them the best route
from city to city, and asks every
dealer to cooperate in every way
with travellers, especially those
who are going to the cantonments.
BY this plan it is believed that the
Overland company may aid ma
terially in helping the tourists to
keep on the best roads and direct
them over the shortest distance
between intermediate points on
their journey.

the otranto victims alongside the Tus-
cania's dead, but this was found i'm
practicable owing to the lack Of trans
port TO that point, which 10 seven miles
from the scene OF the Otranto wreck.
Excellent police arrangements were.
made for the recovery of the bodies
The chief constable organized the island
ers into squads Of thirty and assembled
them at various sections SO that the en-
tire coast in the region of the wreck has
been covered. The constable also ar
ranged for the making Of hundreds OF
small bags, into which the personal ef-
fects found on each body will be care
fully stored and labelled for shipment
home.
Last Friday was pay day on the
Otranto and most of the soldiers had
money In their pockets.
Capt. Ernest Davidson of the Otrahtv.
who is an American. said the efforts OF
the Islanders to care for the survivors
and to recover the dead was nothing
short of heroic. Two soldiers. Earl
Carver and Noah Taylor. who still are
on the island, owe their lives to the Rev.
Donald Grant and his wife. who labored
