President Wilson received most

In the course of his address, during

duties with glory to themselves and
credit to their country, the president
spoke of his hopes for permanent
peace. and declared:
1T happened that it was the priyi

That question can be adequately an

that Germany started the terrible con-
hict In Europe for no reason other
than that of conquest and loot; start
ed 1t only to satisfy the selfish ambi-
tons of selfish people for world
domination. That is being admitted
today by what is left of the German
nation; 1t is admitted by those who
were directly responsible for the war.

BRITISH ELECTORS
SUSTAIN COALITION
SWEEPING TRIUMPH AT THE
POLLS OF DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
AND HIS SUPPORTERS.
Pacifists and Women Candidates Are
Routed, Former Premier Asquith
and Most Of HE Able Lieu
tenants Meeting Defeat.

London.-The broad features of the
election results announced Saturday
are the sweeping triumph OF the Lloyd
George coalition, the complete rout OF
the Asquithians, the pacifists and the
women candidates. and, perhaps most
significant OF all, the victory of the
Sim Feiners all along the line.
That the coalition government would
be victorious had been n foregone CON
clusion, despite the rumblings OF ru-
NOR between the polling ana the
counting of the votes that labor would
make an unexpected showing. But
that David Lloyd George would COM
mand completely an overwhelming mn
jorlty in the new house In the proper
ton of almost five TO one had never
been contemplated. even by the most
sanguine coalitlonists. And since
coalition. as 1t now operates. Is dis
tinctly more conservative than liberal
In its composition and tendencies, this
result of the first election under the
extended franchise and with the par
ticipatioh of millions OF women voters
is most suggestive.
Premier Lloyd George has $40 seats
for his coalition, out of membership
OF 7O7. The Sim Feiners have elected
seventy members. and labor approx
mately seventy-five.
or fourteen women candidates only
one will be entitled to sit In the house
OF commons, namely. n Sim Felner,
Countess Markievicz, who was elected
for ST. Patrick's division OF Dublin
city. But, as the Sim Feiners refuse
to sit ut Westminster. the house of
commons will, as hitherto. be com
posed entirely OF males.
Among the surprises OF the election
wac the defeat OF H. ii. Asquith. the
former premier. He is rejected In
with most OF his ablest lieu |
tenants. including Sir John Simon.
former home secretary Reginald Me- !
Nenna, former home chancellor OF the |
