IRepuhIican A. p. Leased Mirel

LONDON, April 16.-No interven- tion in Russia; no recognition of bol- shevism, and the fulfillment of his cleo tion promises, including those relating to indemnity from the enemy powers and punishment of the former German emperor, were the outstanding features of the report which Premier Lloyd George delivered in the house of com mons today.
 Every member was in his seat and the galleries were packed with dis tinguished visitors, among them the Prince of Wales and the American ambassador, John w. Davis, when the premier entered the chamber, with the cheers of the great crowds outside the parliament grounds still ringing in his ears. He appeared fresh and in buoy ant spirits.
 In the main, though, the premier was serious, in conformity with the weighty subjects discussed, and the audience listened with profound at tention to his speech, which lasted for almost an hour and a half.
 Laborites Cheer Premier
 The laborites vigorously applauded the premier's announcement of non- intervention in Russia and non-recog- milton of bolshevism, but remained silent while the conservatives cheered the statement that the allies would continue to aid friendly elements which were fighting bolshevism.
 At the conclusion of the premier's s speech. when members and those in the galleries were pouring out in quest of belated luncheons, William Adam son, leader of the labor opposition in the house, rose and characterized the speech of the prime minister as elo- quent, but not entirely satisfactory. Mir. Adamsons comment summed up the opinion of others among his audit OTIS and numerous elements among the public, whom the newspapers for the last few days have prepared for il- luminating revelations in the speech, concerning the peace terms formulated.

Clynes. labor member and former food minister, declared it would be better to kill bolshevism by feeding than by fighting. He complained that it would be humiliating to receive news of the peace terms from eaermany and said that apparently Mir. Lloyd George would come to parliament for vote or confluence a1ter the settlement Ol terms in which parliament had no part
 At 6:30, Q member called attention to the absence of a quorum. The doors were opened but instead of the mem bers entering to make a quorum, many of those present walked out, and the house was counted out, standing ad- iourned for the Easter recess until April 20.
 Recast Fourteen Eouncaries
 LONDON, April 16.-In his review during the earlier portion of an ad- dress before the house of commons to- day, discussing the difficulties con- fronting the peace conference, from the many complex problems before it David Lloyd George pointed out that the boundaries of fourteen countries had to be recast. This would give some idea of the purely territorial difficul- ties. But, he added, there were prob lens affecting the peace of the worlc and the destiny of the human race ant if there were blunders made, humanity would have to pay for them. In giving a list of the problems the premier con cluded with the subject of indemnities This brought cheers from the members of the house who had sent him th' telegram urging that Germany be made to pay in full for the war. The premier took up the challenge, saying in re ferring to the problem:
