OVATION IS GIVEN PREMIER LOSS CUT TO 1.28 PER CENT tloyd George Declares Definitely .Against ' Sectional Peace, Saying AVIiolo Xation ' Made, ' War. King Greets Other Kulcrs. LOXDOX, Aug. 4. David Lloyd George, the British Premier, in the presence of a distinguished gathering roprenentaiive of all parties which met this afternoon in Queen's Hall to mark the third anniversary of the declaration of war, reiterated the aims for which the entente- allies were fighting and indicated the only conditions under which they would consent to a suspen sion of hostilities with, the central powers. The meeting was held, under tne auspices of the National War Aims Committee and was probably the great est patriotic demonstration of the year. The expectation had been that the Pre mier's spuecb would be a most impor tant one. The Marquis of Crewe, leader of tne Liberal party in the House of Lords, was chosen to preside. He was -supported by the Archbishop of. Canter bury. 20 members of the government end 100 members of Parliament Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign Minister, and Nikola. Pachitch. the Seriian Pre mier, were invited . a-uefts.. . ' Knthusiaxm Is Shown. As Foreign Minister Sonnino, of Italy, and the other representatives of the entente allies reached the ilatform the gathering rose and cheered again and again, while the playing of the National anthems of the aJlies aroused tremendous enthusiasm. Premier Lloyd George's appearance was the signal for a remarkable mani festation of popular fervor. The Premier paid a tribute to Italy, whose greatness, he said, was in itself additional security for peace and lib-ert-o- throughout the world. -What are.- the allies fighting- for?" asked the Premier. "They axe fighting to defeat the most dangerous conspir acy ever plotted against the liberty of nations. The meeting of the represent centatives of the central powers on July 5, 1914, when the train for war "was fired, was one of the most sin ister episodes in the story of human brigandage. France Might Have T.o I 'What would have happened if Great Britain had not entered the war? What would have happened if our great navy had not been there to keep the -seas? What would have- happened if we had not been there to keep the ring and Bee a certain measure of the fair play? What would have happened if we had not raised huge armlea to confront the German legions? i.Ti." "If you follow these questions out you will find that Russia's democrati zation and disintegration would have taken place before It did. The gallant armies of France might have been a vw helmed. "What kind of peace would they have had then? It would not have been a peace; it would have been a conquest, a subjugation of Europe. Europe would have been placed in servitude to a great dominating power; there would have been many nations, but one great power. The indemnity might have taken the form of the surrender of navies and Europe would have been at the mercy of the worst elements of that dominating power. "The allied powers at the first mo ment felt instinctively that a great menace to human liberty had appeared on the horizon, and they accepted the challenge. ' America saw it and joined us. Tha is what the Germans have Deen striving against for three years, and not without success. . German Ambitions Checked. "We have, checked the ambitions of Germany. The nations of the world have been climbing painfully the steps that led to national independence and self-respect. France and Great Brit ain reached the platform long ago and hen came a great power to thrust the nations back to the old dark servitude. That is what we have been fighting three years. "The Kaiser now adopts different language-i-f ighting to protect German soil. Even now, neither he nor his new Chancellor has said they would be satisfied with German soil. They talked glibly of peace, but stammered when they came to the word 'restoration.' Hefore we enter a peace conference they must learn to utter that word to begin with. -Our gallant fellows are gradually going to cure: the Kaiger of his stutter 'restoration' is the first letter; then we will talk. "War is a ghastly business, but it is not a grim as' bad peace. There is an end to a horrible war, but a bad peace will go on and on, staggering from one war to another. The Prussian war lords have not yet abandoned their ambitions; they are only destroying the postponement of the realization of their ambitions. 'o 'xt Time, Says Premier. "The next time the Prussian war lords meant to make sure. There must lie no--next time. Let us have done with it. Do not let us repeat this hor lor. Let us make victory such that national liberty, whether for small or great nations, can never be challenged. On all the roads ever confronted there are ups and downs, and no doubt the tussian collapse is rather a deep glen, and I am not sure that we have reached its darkest level. But across the VjUley I can see the ascent. "We of this country cannot allow sectional organizations to make war or make peace. The nation as a whole lias made war sacrifices, pretty even ly divided among all classes, and the nation as a whole must make peace. "The Germans claim to be satisfied with the last battle. All I can say is that Field Marshal Haig has secured all his objectives. He had enough guns to smash, lines upon which for three years the Germans had expended will ing and forced labor, and if the Ger mans are pleased with the battle, so we will let it continue thus, to our mutual satisfaction. "The course the advance is taking Is the British method of saving life, ond it is the duty o fthe nation to (stand behind the army, patient, strong and united. In this way we will win." King; George Write to Rulers. In the course of his speech. Premier Lloyd George said: "Victory must be so complete that our national liberty never again shall be challenged. "Kuesla learned that an army with out discipline is a rabble. "There are some here who want to set up committees for the British army and direct the conduct of the war. We cannot allow a sectional organization to direct the war or dictate the terms of peace. The nation aa a whole made MUSIC TODAY WILL PLEASE Programme for Municipal Concert Promises Treat at Park.

Andre - Tardieu,' high commissioner of France in the United States, in a for mal communication to Secretary Baker, setting forth a detailed statement of what the devotion of the French peo ple has made possible. It contains stunning figures as to the men, guns and money they have contributed to the war. It breathes the spirit of confi dence and high courage that still animates the nation. It asserts without hesitation that the United States is to aid In striking the last blow at the foe. Ordeal Most Severe. "Such Is the situation." says M. Tardieu. in conclusion. "Severe was the ordeal; stronger is the national en ergy. "Now It Is a question of striking the last blow to the adversary, you will help us. "But at the moment when American soldiers arrive in France It "is proper to let them know what they will find, to receive them, in a country which, today as well as during the past three years, bears the principal exertion of oJr dreadful foe: a country which maintains to the maximum of her pow er, without hesitation and without weakness, her strength, her means and her will." Secretary Baker pays high compli ment to the spirit of France In his brief reply. American officers are unanimous, he says, in their praise of the splendid courage and military ef ficiency of the French people. 3,000,000 French at Front. "Now that America has begun to con tribute soldiers and materials to this war," says the Secretary, "it will be well for our people to have the story you have told in order that we may re alize that your Army is going to share the Imperishable glory which belongs to the soldiers of France and her al lies who have fought so long and with such increasing spirit and determina tion in the cause of liberty." M. Tardieu says in his statement that there are today nearly 3,000,000 French troops'ln the zone of the armies alone, exclusive of those in the zone of the interior and the colonies. That is a million more men than were used to stem the German floodtide at the Marne and the greatest number France has ever muttered in the fighting zone. The Commissioner adds that the force can be maintained "for a long time to come." He shows that French "definitive casualties" in killed ana prisoners have dropped from 5.41 per cent of all mobi lized forces at -the battle of the Marne to 1.28 per cent during the last six months of 1916; that France is holding 574 kilometers of the 739 kilometers on the western front, and that her troops in June of this year were facing 81 of the 123 German divisions con centrated on that line. Six Thousand Heavy Gnna Used. As to guns, the Commissioner shows that French armies have had an ampld supply of the famous "75's" from the first and that ber 300 heavy guns August. 1914, had increased to 6000 in June, 1917, giving one heavy gun for every 26 meters (about 30 yards) of the French offensive fronts this year, Including all field and trench guns, he says, there Is a gun for every eight meters in the sector of attack. To feed the "75's" the daily output of shells has risen from 13.000 in 1914 to a quarter of a million today and 100,000 projectiles for the heavy guns are supplied each day in addition. During the last offensives a total weight of projectiles averaging 1442 kilograms (about one ana one-hair tons) was hurled into every lineal meter of the German trenches as saulted and 12,000.000 shells of all cali bers were expended by French guns. In addition to all this. France com pletely re-equipped and re-armed the Belgian, Serbian and Greek armies and furnished 800 heavy guns to her alii' On the financial side the tables show that France has expended 82.647,000,000 francs (nearly 116,000,000,000) since the war began.
