With Premier'S' Speech

LONDON, July with one or two
exceptions, the morning newspapers
express satisfaction with Premier
Lloyd Georges speech in the house of
commons yesterday. Several. includ-
ing some most friendly to the pre-
mier, refer to it's defense" of the
peace treaty. but there is a gerenal
agreement that he gave a good an
swer to those clamoring for more
drastic terms. as well as those OBJ
jecting to the oppressive features of
the peace treaty.
The laborite Herald alone sweep
ingly condemns the speech, asserting
it to be unsatisfactory to most labor
and liberal members of the house
The liberal Daily News. however,
while continuing to criticise certain
terms Of the treaty, says the validity
of many of the premier's arguments
are incontestable, and warmly praises
his declaration of faith in the league
of nations.
Only a few comment on the an

the allies are honoring England's
reputation for fair play, which

BALTIMORE, Md. July Light
wines and beer containing not more
than 2.75 per cent alcohol by weight
proved an attraction to many Wash
ingtonians today. and many of them
reached here early in the morning to
participate in a liquid celebration of
Independence day. There were nu-
merous interesting attractions sched-
uled for the celebration at the Ma
tional Capital, but with out the liquid
attraction, and many of those who
came on early trains made it known
that they thought today would be
the last holiday they would be able
to celebrate with the added alcoholic
attraction.
When hundreds of Washingtonians
came here Decoration day. when the
weather was unusually warm. they
spent much money for all sorts OF
liquid refreshments. At that time
they believed they were celebrating
the last national holiday with the
booze accompaniment. but Judge
Roses decision prolonged part of the
saloon business and made possible
the kind of celebration in which
thousands of persons in this city are
participating today.
Came as a Surprise.
"I wonder if another change will
bring back the cocktail, highhall and
rickey?" queried an early morning
arrival from the National Capital.
"Todays freedom from operation of
the war time prohibition law came
as surprise" he added, and an
other surprise may come before the
Thanksgiv holiday"
at is true that surprise may
come" said a man behind the bar,
but what kind of a surprise will it
be? That's hard to surmise. 1t may
mean the shutting out of beer, or 1t
may mean the return of the heavy
stuff-whisky, brandy. gin and nu-
merouS other beverages CONTAINING

alcohol

Premier Lloyd George argued that
it was not vengeance Ito take every
possible precaution against recur-
renee of the war, and to make such
an example of Germany as will dis
courage ambitious rulers and peo-
pies from ever again attempting to
repeat this infamy. The German
people approved the war, and there
fore it was essential in the terms to
show if nations enter into unpro-
voked wars of aggression against
their neighbors what lies in store
for them"

1t was the intention to make such an

Women Shout.

There was scene like those which
frequently occurred in the 'suf-
fragette" days. during the debate
after the premier's speech. A woman
in the galleries shouted: There is
no need to send men to Russia The
war is over" Attendants carried her
out struggling and crying that her
son was being sent to Russia"
Another woman took up the cry, and
while she was being dragged out two
men had fist fight. The galleries
were then cleared.

Reference to French Pact.

The premier's reference to the United
States and England agreeing to aid
France If she should be attacked
was loudly cheered.
After referring to guarantees in the
treaty. such as disarmament, which
he declared should not be a scrap
of paper" the premier spoke on the
bill dealing with the American and
British guarantee in the event of an
unprovoked attack on France. saying
he did not suppose any section of
the house would oppose that.
1T is entered into with the ap-
prevail of the league of nations" the
premier asserted. within living
memory France twice has been in
vaded by Germany. With her -popu-
lation Of 100000 facing a hostile

League Needs Strong Nations.

After all. the league would have no
value unless it had behind it strong

France was quite prepared, said
the premier, to reconsider at the
proper time the question of the oc-
cupation of the Rhine. There was an
understanding with France. But
the moment Germany carried out her
undertaking regarding disarmament
the cost of the army of occupation
should not exceed 240.000,000 marks
a year.
Lastly, there was the guarantee of
the league of nations, great and
hopeful experiment, only rendered
possible by other conditions. without

Territorial Treaty.

Speaking of the territorial terms of
the treaty. Mr.. Lloyd George said the
territory taken from Germany was a
matter of restoration. 1t was a res
toration of Alsace-Lorraine, he said,
taken forcibly from the land to which
its population was deeply attached;
it was a restoration of Schleswig-
Holstein. the taking of which he de-
scribed as the "meanest of Hohen-
zolIern frauds, robbing a helpless
country in the pretense they were
not doing it and then retaining the
land against the wishes of the popu-
lation"; a restoration of "a Poland
torn to bits by Russian, Austrian and
Prussian autocracy and now reknit
under the flag of Poland" And he
added, they are all territories which
ought not to belong to Germany"

Though showing the effects OF his
long labors at Paris and lacking his
usual fire, the premier at times made
impassioned utterances and was
loudly cheered.
His announcement that the former
German emperor would soon be placeo
on trial before a tribunal sitting in
London was Cheered most or all
while his presentation of the Anglo
French convention. providing TOT
France unprovok ed-a convention
analogous to one between the Un1ted
States and France-waS greeted with
unreStrained approval.
Notables Present.
The scene recalled some of the great
speeches of the war. All the seats
were taken and every inch of stand
ing room was pre-empted. The Prince
of Wales, the American ambassadors.
John w Davis and Thomas Nelson
Page, the Japanese and Italian am
baSsadors and many other noted per-
sons were in the distinguished wish
tors gallery. The gallery behind
them was unusually colorful, because
under the recent rules women were
admitted to this section and nearly
monopolized the space.
The premier had good reception
from all sections of the house. HIS
speech was largely impromptu and
discursve. He told of the peace con-
the future and reviewed some of the
striking restrictions put upon Ger
many in the treaty signed at YER

Terms Not an Injustice.

II do not think any one can claim
the terms imposed constitute injus-
tice to Germany the premier said in
discussing the reparation clauses,
unless they believe justice in the
war on the side of Germany. Having
regard to the uses Germany made
of her army there is no injustice in
scattering and disarming it. If the
allies had restored the colonies to
Germany after the evidence of ILL
treatment of the natives and the part
the natives have taken in their own
liberation, it would have been a base
betrayal.
Then take the trial Of those re-
sponsible for the war. If wars of this
kind are to be prevented those per-
sonaliy responsible for them, who
have taken part in plotting and plan
ming them, should be held personally
responsible. Therefore, the entente
decided that the man who undoubt-
edly had the primary responsibility.
in the judgment, at any rate, of the
allies, should be tried for the Of
lenses he committed in breaking
treaties he was bound to honor, and
by that means bringing on the war
1T was an exceptional course, and
it's a pity it was, because if it had
been done before there would have
been fewer wars. The allied coun-
tries unanimously decided that a
tribunal-an interallied one-should
sit at London for the trial of the
person chiefly responsible for the war.

Great Achievement.

After abiding to the disposition of
the colonies and to the labor conven-
ton, Mr.. Lloyd George, reviewing
Great Britain's part in the war and
the treaty, described it as a tremen-
douS achievement. He was not sure
that the great commonwealth of ma
tons known as the British empire
yet realized the great part it had in
the achievement. He then passed, in
brief review, to the men who joined
the colors. the money raised and the
sacrifices of men and material made by
the empire.
1T is a great record" he concluded.
Let us rejoice, but rejoice as men
under no delusion that our troubles
are ended. but rather like men who
feel that the first and worst of our
troubles are passed and that the
spirit. courage and resolution which
enabled us to overcome them will
also enable us cheerfully to face what
is to come. Let us not waste strength
prematurely in fighting each other. l
say with all solemnity that, if we
wish to save this country from sink
ing under its burdens and the worlds,
we must make the most effective use
of the resources of the country and
the empire"

like the other conventions. would be

"Let Us Earnestly Try It."
LET us earnestl try it, exclaimed
the premier. Had it been in exist
ence in 1914 it would have been diff
cult for Germany and Austria to make
war. and if they had America would
have been in the first day, instead of
two years after
The premier argued that it would
have been mistake to let Germany
into the league while there were ques-
tons resulting from the war that still
remained to be settled. 1t was for
Germany herself to accelerate the
date of her entry by showing that the
fire of war had purified her soul. The
sooner she entered the better it would
be for Germany and the world.

A Personal Appeal

There is nothing much that can
be said by the man who ran down
and killed little girl in his au
t0m0bile when he meets the be-
reaved parents a few minutes aft
er the tragedy.
All regret is futile for the man
who would not find time to learn
to swim and suddenly finds him
self flOundering in ten feet of wa
ter when his canoe capsizes.
The fact that he is still young
and has a good JOY is poor con-
ISOLATION is poor consolation to the
man who SURVEYS the smoking ru-
irs CT his small home twerty-fOur
hours after he had allowed his fire
insurance policy to lapse.
As he lies on the table of the
operating room Of the emergency
hospital. all the agony and grief
in the world won't compensate the
lad who lost q leg when he tried
to Flip" a street car in defiance
Of his parents pleas. orders and
advice.
All of which is mere trifle to
the emotions which will assail the
person who failed to subscribe to
the Victory Liberty note issue and
later tries to alibi himself with
cCnvalescent wounded Yankee
fighter or with his own conscience.

WHAT CONGRESS

TO ACCOMPL

Washington, May 8.-Congress is
ready for tie special session which
President Wilson ordered yesterday
from Paris to convene on Monday,
May 10.
Both houses, under Republican
control for the first tine III a de-
cade, are prepared to expedite pas
sage of appropriation bills stemmed
in the stagnation Of legislation at
the close OF the last Congress and the
Senate is prepared to wrestle with
the world peace treaty and the great
est international problem ever pre-
sented to the American Congress, the
League of Nations Covenant.
Appropriations for the coming tls-
cal year, which failed in the last
Congress and which must be rushed
through, aggregate mola than So 800

Besides appropriations and the
peace treaty there is much othel
legislation of pressing importance to
come before the special session.
General legislative problems TO come
before Cogress of major Importance
are the disposition Of the railroads
woman suffrage, immigration reform
on the basis of conditions changed by
the war, Americanizat;on measures
and prohibitions against the grow
ing conditions Of Bolshevism and an
archy, enforcement OF wartime pro
hibtion, a government budget system
fer appropriations and reorganization
Of . the national defense, which in
-cludes primarily the adoption OF ma
tional military policy with regard tc
the army.
Numerous measures are to nc sub
mittcd providing for universal mill
tary service and the military com
mittees in both houses are in favor
of such a system. Whether they art
to be supported in this way by th(
Democratic executives Of the gov
ernment remains to bee seen. Of lati
there has been growing suspicion
| they are not.
