David Lloyd George, speak ing at a great patriotic demonstra tion in Queenshall this afternoon in commemoration of "Belgian lndepend ence day" characterized the speech o the German chancellor. Dr. Georg Michaells, as a mere sham and de clared that he did not want the Ger mans to "harbor any delusions tha they are going to put Great Britai out of this fight until liberty has been re-established throughout the world Great Britain could make peace with a free Germany, but with a German dominated by autocracy, declared the Premier, there never could be peace. Uermsis Repeat Mistake. The Germans, said the Premier, were making the same mistake in under estimating America's efforts In the war aa they had made about Great Britain in the beginning. 'They said that we would not fight," continued Mr. Lloyd George, "and if we' did, we could not. We had no army and couldn't raise one and they need not worry about Britain. I think they have di scovered their mistake about us. And they are now just going through the same process with America. America's! Resources Van. I want to put this to them: If Great Britain, not a very large coun try, while she Is maintaining a.. ' equipping and even building lip equip- eut for an army of millions afield and in reserve in full fighting array; while she is maintaining the largest navy in the world, can organize in the third year of an exhausting war to turn out millions of tons of new ship- pins, is America, with twice the pop ulation of this country, with endless natural resources, going to be beaten merely because she puts forth no ef fort? The man who talks like that knows not America; otherwise he would not say it." Referring directly to the German Chancellor's sneering remark that America has no ships and no Army and that when America has an Army it will have no ships to bring them across the sea, the Premier said: "He knows America just as little as the Germans knew Great Britain." England IS'ot Starved. Far from bfing starved by the U-boats, Mr. Lloyd George declared. Great Britain's food supply for 1917 1918 was already obtained, production was increasing and losses at sea were diminishing. He had sought in the Chancellor's speech for something upon which he could base a hope for the ending of the bloody struggle. "But," he declared, "I see In it a sham independence for Belgium, a sham democracy for Germany, a sham peace for Europe, and I say that Europe has not sacrificed millions of her gallant sons to set up a sanctuary for Bliarn." Mr. Lloyd George asked what hope 'ood Situation In East Prussia and Poland Reported In Most Serious Condition. WASHINGTON'. July 51. Quite dif ferent in tone from the optimistic view expressed by the new German Chancel- or In his speech to the Reichstag are the reports reaching the State Depart ment from persons coming out of Ger many regarding the food conditions and outlook in the central empires. While this information necessarily is second-hand. State Department agents are careful to forward only such news as in their opinions demand credence. Standing out in strong relief in the reports is the statement that Germany lacks no less than 600,000 tons of wheat to carry the population through to the middle of August, when the new har vest can be gathered. The harvest also is very poor in Eastern Prussia owing to adverse weather conditions and even potatoes promise only a minimum production. Many people are starving in Poland. Tension between Austria and Ger many is declared to have grown so that ConnfA Prtnrl Rill nifforo in suspected Austrians are now being in- P6''16 r00a DIN LMIICIb III terned in Germany. The Centrist leader, Erzberger, is re ported to have charged the government with manipulating U-boat statistics, to have given warning that the monarch- ial sentiments of the people are dimin ishing daily, and to have advised the government never again to threaten German strikers with machine gun as had been done at Stettin.'
