Stupidity-Says Conference
Has Not Wasted Time.

London, April 16.-The allied rep
resentatives in Paris have arrived at
a complete understanding on the
great fundamental questions. that
would effect peace with Germany,
Premier Lloyd George declared in
addressing the house Of commons to-
day. The allies had formulated their
demands and he hoped that by the
end of week they would be, present

Replying in the house Of commons
today to previous criticisms Of his,
activities at the peace conference in
Paris, Premier Lloyd George said the
situation was "still full Of perils for
all countries" He pleaded that
"those who are trying to do their
best be let alone"
: No onfcerence in history, said the
premier, had been faced with prob
lens of such variety, eomplexity,
magnitude and gravity. The congress
of Vienna, which was the nearest ap-
proach to it, took eleven months for
its work, but that congress, Mr..
Lloyd George pointed out, sank into
insignifcance as compared with, what
had been settled by this conference.
The time spent by the peace con-
ference in framing the League Of
Nations plan saved time instead Of
wasting it, Mr.. Lloyd George de-
clared, as the League would provide
a means Of adjustment of possible
errors. -I =. &

ued, of recognizing Russia. It had

VICTORY LOAN FILM
TELLS WAR SECRETS
Treasury Presents Film of Events in
Great Conflict Showing What
Bonds Pay For-Will Be Shown
at>Opera House Thursday,
Matinee and Night.

Secrets of the war recorded by the
motion picture camera and only now
released by the censors are revealed
in "The Price of Peace" an official
film issued in behalf of the Victory
Liberty Loan, and to be shown at
Abbeville on Thursday, tho 24th,
both matinee and night. e."
"The Price of Peace" is lthe only
official picture ever assembled which
purports to cover the war from the
day it was declared down to date.
The purpose of the picture as an
nounced by the Department of the
Treasury through Frank r. Wilson,
director of publicity, is to put before
the public graphic accounting and
to make clear why there is now a
Victory Liberty Loan.
The picture opens with a scene in
President Wilson's Office and a refer.
ence to that momentous April g.,
when war was declared. 1t concludes
with a remarkable view of the Statue
of Liberty, in New York harbor, and
the homecoming of our army. But
there is a vast deal between, includ-
ing the embarkation of troops, their
landing in France, final training over
there, then the desperate realities of
the front line trenches, gas attacks,
army railroading under FIRE, the
great attack from Scissors to Cha
teau Thierry, infantry and artillery
under heavy bombardment, battle
between aeroplanes and the downing
Of an enemy airman, the observation
balloons under FIRE, then ehe battle
dead, the prisoners, captured guns,
our troops marching over the Rhine
into Germany, General Pershing and
his men in Prussia, Christmas with
the Army of Occupation in Germany,
and the homecoming.
Probably the greatest thrill of the
picture is in the-scenes where our
troops are seen going "over the top
and into the wheatfeld. at 4:35
o'clock on that famous July 1s, 1918
