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.

ily supported by income independent

Mr. Lloyd George said that "bo
loism” in all its shapes and forms
should be looked out for.
"Bcwars of people who try to sow
dissension, distrust and suspicion." he
said. "The enemy is trying to rattle
our nerves. Keep steady and we will
win. >»
“I ask those who are pressing—
should there be any—for a premature
peace, to reflect for a moment what
might happen if we made an unsatis
factory installment—all the
best
scientific brains in the lands, stimu
lated by national rivalry, national hat

ergies for 10. 20, 30 years to magnify
the destructive powers of these hor
rible agents, whose power is only
just disclosed. We must settle this
once for all.”
The Premier said eyes must be kept
steadfastly on the great purpose of
the war, which was destruction of the
false ideal which would have intimi
dated and enslaved Europe if it had
triumphed.”
