WAR COST ENGLAND
 40 BILLION POUNDS
Lloyd George Declares Sum Was Spent for Purpose Of Destruction ENORMOUS EXPENDITURES
Premier Asserts That Changing from
 War to Peace Conditions Will Take Just as Long as Change from
 Peace to War.

Peace to war.
 London, Aug. 18.-The war cost forty billion pounds, Premier Lloyd George declared in his speech in, the house of commons today on the finan- cial and industrial situation. Most of this sum was spent for purposes of destruction.
 The premier asserted that the changing from war to peace condi- tions would take just as long as the change from peace to war. The first outstanding fact of the present sita- ation was the alarming adverse trade balance. 7
 To Terminate Restrictions
 The import restrictions which will terminate September 1, the premier continued, had given British manu- facturers an opportunity of making and dealing in goods which otherwise would have been hurried here from foreign countries. -s.
 The premier. said that before the war imports had exceeded exports from the United Kingdom by l60- 900, 1000 pounds. Receipts from for eign investments at present are down to 100,00O,0O0 pounds, while Great Britain has to pay back an adverse trade balance of S00,000,000 pounds.
 Enormous National Debt.
 The national debt, the premier .1e- clared, has grown from 41,OOO,00o pounds to 7,soo,oo0,o00 pounds
 Labor conditions in the United Kingdom, Mr. Lloyd George added, had improved. Of the 3,600,000 men dem obilized, only 350,000 have not been absorbed in industries.
 Pensions cost the government 100, 100000 pounds yearly Private expenditure in the aggregate, he said, was more formidable than public ex- penditures. One way of meeting the increase in expenditure was to in- crease production. but the output is less in everything except agriculture Adverse Trade Balance. He declared that if the country continues in the way in which it is going. the adverse trade balance would reach 1000, 100000 pounds i compared to 150,000,000 pounds be- fore the war.
 I've cannot prosper" said he, "ws cannot even exist without recovering and maintaining our internationa trade We must bring up the trade balance, adding to our exports and lessening our imports.

it is called upon to do.
The Thurmont Bank, during the entire
period of Red Cross activities here. kind

for the various uses of the society,
furnishing fuel and light free and thus
saved large amount in expenses, and
this courtesy is greatly appreciated.

ISOLATION met yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock to plan for an immediate drive
for clothing for the destitute and starry
ing people of Armenia and Syria.
The campaign for clothing is prelmi-
nary to countrywide campaign for
funds to be launched in February. 1t
was explained by speakers in close touch
with the situation, that unless clothing
is Immediately sent to Armenia thousands
of men, women and orphaned children,
reduced through starvation and disease,
will be unable to survive the rigors of
the coming winter. Hundreds are dying
daily and the entire population is desti-
tute of clothing. Rags, patched togeth-
err, are worn by children to cover their
nakedness and the only hope to save
thousands of lives is to send worn cloth
ing Immediately, with America the only
country from which to expect relief.
So urgent is the clothing need that the
committees above named will map out
campaign at their M. ting and without
delay will arrange for canvass for any
sort of wearing apparel that a generous
public might donate. The plan is to
carry the campaign to the home of the
humblest citizen in order that every one
might have an opportunity to participate
in the greatest lite-"aving effort that
has yet been undertaken After the
clothing campaign the local organization
will take up its part in the nationwide
drive for funds. While no quota has
been set for this county the hope was
expressed that $4,000 secured in the
last relief campaign will be exceeded.
