TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT OCTOBER 25, 1917. BRUTE FORCE HAS DRAFT PROVISIONS ARE MADE PUBLIC TO BE DETHRONED o Lloyd George Sees no Other Means New Army Regulation» Prematurely Di»clo»ed at New York. for Obtaining Enduring Peace London, Oct. 22.—‘I have scanned the horizon intently,” said Premier Lloyd George today, “and con see no terms which will lead to enduring peace. The only terms now possible would mean an armed truce ending in an even more frightful struggle.” The Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Andrew Bonar Law, were the principal speakers at an im posing demonstration in Albert Hall this afternoon to inaugurate the Au tumn campaign for national economy. The hall was crowded, while on the platform were many distinguished men, including the archpishop of Can- tenbury, General Smuts, the mem bers of the cabinet and the allied dip lomats. Cost of War Gigantic. ThePremier, who was given a tre mendous reception, declared that the magnitude of the enthusiasm gather ing in the fourth year of the war was the best proof of the determination of this country to prosecute the war un till victory was achieved. The cost of the war was gigantic; it was heavy today and would be heavy tomorrow. One hundred and twenty thousand workers on war savings committees —a fine, army—were doing splendid work and he thanked them for their labors in connection with the last war loan, which had been most successful, and also in connection with the food economy campaign, which had result ed in a saving of food supplies of from 5 to 7 per cent. That in itself, meant a saving of hundreds of thou sands of tons. Peace Must be Lasting. After drawing a comparison be tween the extravagances of war time and peace time and making a plea for economy, the Premier said: “The way to shorten the war is to prepare as if the struggle were going to be a long one. I am not going to predict when the end of the war will come—no man in his senses would prolong it one hour if there were an opportunity for a real and lasting peace. But it must be a lasting peace. It must not be a peace which would be the prelude to a new and more devastating war. Mr. Lloyd George said Germany would make peace now only on terms which would enable her to benefit by the war. He asserted that that would be encouragement to every bucca neering empire in the future to re, eat the experiment. More than twice as many German submarines were lost in the first 10 months of this year as in all of last year, the Premier asserted. The Brit ish tonnage lost monthly now is not much more than one third of the total destroyed last April. Time on Allies Side. The Premier said he had hoped the enemy’s terrible power might be broken this year, but that the tem porary collapse of the Russian mili tary power had postponed this hope. But time was on the side of the allies he said. Time once was neutral, but two things together had changed this, namely the advent of America and the increasing failure of the German submarine war. The allies were working in the greatest harmony, the Premier con tinued. He said they were on the eve of the more important inter-allied conference ever held, at which for the first time representatives of America and of the Russian democracy would be present. He stated that the confer ence meant to determine the ultimate issue of the war. The war, said the Premier, was ter rible in itself, but more terrible in the possibilities it revealed of new hor rors on land and sea and in the air. It must be settled now, once for all, he declared. If the war should be renew ed after 30 years more of scientific application, it would mean the death of civilization. Brute force must be dethrowned forever. To realize what the advent of Amer ica meant, the Premier went on, it was necessary only to look back on the rapid growth of the little British army. America was now starting, and its resources in men power were twice those of Great Britian. British shipbuilding, said the Pre mier, had increased four-fold and America had done likewise. Germany laughed at the -war declarations of China and other nations, but these de clarations meant that most of the world’s food and raw materials were under the flags of Germany’s enemies which would reduce Germany to im potence and desolution. Danger in "Boloism.” ------o Washington, Oct. 22.—The five classifications into which men await ing draft will be divided, under the new regulations approved by Presi dent Wilson, have become public much before the time planned by the provost Marshal-General's office. It was discovered today that what what was to have remained an official secret for a week or more was di vulged Saturday night at a dinner in New York, which Secretary Baker and Provost Marshal-General Crow der attended. The Provost Marshal- General discussed the new regulations i without intending to make public the classifications, but some members of the New York local exemption board, thinking to elucidate the General's speech, printed the classifications on the back of the menu card. The classifications are as follows, and show every man registered to which class he belongs and in what order the different classifications will be called to service: . Class 1. 1— Single men without dependent relatives. 2— Married men (or widower with children,) who habitually fails to support his family. 3— Married men dependent on wife for support. 4— Married men (or widower with children) not usefully engaged, fam- ily supported by income independent of his labor. 5— Man not included in any other description in this or other classes. 6— Unskilled laborer.
