He said there was no place under the Stars and Stripes for socialism, radicalism, I W. W.-Ism, communism, or any other of the willing and ready to take the colors out of our flag. He said this Is no time for neutrality Al and that the man who s will have the most law. The anti-prohibition forces, too, came in for a share of derislon for their stand. the evangelist declaring that no man will ever walk into the White House on a wet plank. v stopping to breathe and @ashing up and down stage, waving arms and hoisting legs and “shadow boxing,” as he al does, he at- tacked the “insiduous influences of the gang against our governmen! and between times criticized women's «wlothes and the country's moral About the mildest invective he hurled at any of the law-defying element was to call them “black-hearted, pea- nut-grained lizards, vultures preying on humanity.” The barrage was lift- ed only because he h the 9:40 train, which would carry him into the south for a series of lectures. meeting was presided_over by ive Stuart F.

Mr. ‘Jenkins, the evangelist's new song leader and trombonist, led the audience in the singing of a number of the old, familiar selec- tlons.

The average yearly consumption of apples in Washington is approx imately 450 cars. Some one with a bent for statistics has figured out that were all apples consumed here each year placed in freight cars and those cars formed into a train and placed on Pennsylvania avenue the engineer end fireman would be admiring the Xey bridge, in Georgetown, while the rear brakeman would be viewing the scenery of Randle Highlands. The 454 cars of apples consumed here last year do not represent all of the apples that came into the city, @s large quantities came by boat and trucks from Maryland and Virginia. Many fine grades of apples come in boxes from the state of Washington. As Halloween Is always associated | with apples, the shippers of this fruit since 1905, have celebrated the week of October 31 to November 7 as Apple week. Washington is taking art in the national celebration, and, ncidentally, the local merchants are endeavoring to capture one of the milver trophies offered for the. best displays. e NAVY SELLS FIVE SHIPS.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 3.—David Lloyd George today turned his face toward home, leaving behind him a final plea for the United States not to be too hard on Europe, but to drive home to that stricken continent the conviction that right is supreme over fore: In his last speech after a tour of the United States and Canada, de- ilivered In the crowded Metropolitan Opera House, the war-time premier of Great Britain warned that, within generation, civilization doomed to a catastrophe such as history has never recorded unless the United States and the British em- pire’ together stamped out the bellef that force alone rules the world. Standing on the spot where, a.year ago, Georges Clemenceau, premier of France during the great war, had urged, this country not to neglect her post-war duties and had warned of another rise of German militarism, Mr. Lloyd George sald: “France, at the present moment, is committed to holding the wolf by the ear. She cannot let go, but ulti- mately it may tear and rend her. “I heard yesterday from a man who had just returned from Germany, who met ‘one of the officers who had been appointed at the treaty of Ver- sailles to break up the cannon and the machine guns and the torpedoes of Germany. Wanted to Smash Gunw. “He said up to the last year, the German workmen, wherever he went to the workshops and arsenals, used to help him to destroy these guns, and said: ‘For God’'s sakKe, destroy them. These are the things that brought ruin to our country.’ ‘Now, he says, there is a change. : ‘We cannot trust justice. ot trust treaties. We can not trust the words of great natlons. Force is the only thing that rules the world.’ “Unless you stamp out that con- vietion clvilization is doomed on this earth.” Particularly did the doughty little Welshman, speaking as a private clti- fzen and not in “collusion with Lord Curzon.” plead with America to gua: antee the future of Secretary Hughes' proposal to cut the reparations tan- gle with an International commission. “There are two principles which are dinned into the ear of the to Mr. constantl: olfer which I would apply cretary Hughes' proposal The first is ‘follow through.' second is ‘keep your eve on the ball. “Keep Out of the Rough.” “It might get lost. You are play- ing in rough country, full of bankers, part of it a wilderness ere are some who might try to get the ball into the rough, and, once it is there, they might even substitute another. “Follow through. Keep vour eve on the ball, once you have begun. And if you do that I belleve this great play will be won. “Europe will be better for it America will be better for it. “The world s better because Amer- ica at one moment took an interest in the enforcement of right beyond its own frontiers. The world will be better for it tomorrow when it knows that the Interest of American in hu- man right has not weakened.” “Those who make war, whether they are individuals or nations, can- not escape responsibility for the peace.” he said. And again, Who smashed Ger- many? Who smashed Austria? Who reated the impotence which makes it dificult to execute treaties? Well, if you had asked it on Armistice day, we all would have gently hinted that it was really done by us. “We were all responsible for the victory. Each contributed his part. Each did something toward shatter- ing the fabric, and we have got our responsibility for what follows." “Millions Under Wreckage.” And still again, “But still they say to us in Britain and they say to you here: ‘Keep clear of the wreckage.' Yes, but there are millions under- neath. There is scriptural precept for it. Great nations cannot say ‘Am I my brother's keeper For the fourth time Mr. George touched on The commission of trusteeship for civilization does not come from kings; it does not come from rulers or princes; it does not come from senates or parliaments. It comes frofn on high. That commission is yours and ours today. You respond- ed to the invisible message in 1917 and we had already done so. But the commission is not fulfilled. The work is only half dome. If it Is not dis- charged full—fuily—civilization is doomed within this generation to a catastrophe such as the world has never seen. . Three times Mr. Lloyd George re- peated the prayer, “Don’t be hard on Europe,” and at one time in his address he asserted solemnly : “Vengeance is unbalanced. Every vin- dictive man or woman is partly insane. Text of His Addres: “I have traveled,” he said, “some thousands of miles in Canada and in the United States of America, and my first, and I think my deepest, impression is the vastness of these two great coun- tries, countries of infinite resources and of endless possibilities. “I came here to address eight meet- ings—I believe this is my seventieth. It 18 not in mortal man to deliver seventy speeches without saying some- thing, for which be is sorry. If I have {said anything in the course of these {numerous speeches that has given of- fense to any one, that has transy any of your party controversies—well, please put it down to my ignorance and pass it over. I did not willingly trespass. I came on no misslon, but, being asked to speak, I have spoken frankly. I have spoken |what I belleve. 1 have seen a sugges- tion that T was in collusion with Lord |Curzon in something which 1 said. Well, T haven't the honor of having any consultation or communication or | previous arrangement with Lord Cur- | zon. I am a member of no government. 1 am simply a private citizen. But in the things I have sald I had a certain sense of personal responsibility, having foeard to the part which T had played nd in s the making of the ' “We have all had our responsibil- ity.

Those who make war, whether they are individuals or'nations, can- not escape ‘responsibility for the P is 1 a : “Europe is in a deplorable condi- tion. Whose is the respon:lbfll!d}"? Some say it is the treaty of Ver. sailles. Well, I am not here to defend the treaty of Versailles, I am quite willing on an appropriate occasion to do so and to say that it was the best treaty that could be negotiated under the conditions of the time, But it is not the treaty of Versailles, Every treaty depends not merely upon its in- tringic merits, but upon the methods and manner of its execution. “But the condition of Europe was not created by the treaty of <¥er. sailles. The difficulties were not cre- ated by that treaty. They were cre- ated by the war. They were created by the completeness of the victory. It was the most complete victory th has almost ever been won in wars be. tween great natlons. Germany-Au: tria were shattered, demoralized, di; armed, prostrate; we left them like roken-backed creatures on the road for any chariot to run over. We cre- ated the responsibility. Who did it? Who smashed Germany? Who smash- ed Austria? Who created the im- H ¢ ¥ potence which makes I!“d(mcu\.l to 0 we; would have gently hinted that it w. really done by us.” i Now, he added, the nations were more prone to dodge the responsi- y. 3 “We were all respgnsible for ithe victory, we each contffbuted his part, Wwe each did something toward sHat- tering the fabric and we have 'got our responsibility for what follows. It is easier to make war tham to make peace. In the civil war in America there were milllons of men who were prepared to sacrifice their lives to wage successful war, but there was only one man who Was prepared to risk his career to mak a successful peace and he was & down. You say, ‘Yes, by an un anced mind.' All vengeance is un- balanced. Every vindictive mansor woman is partly imsane.

When it was first proposed a year ago I felt it was the right step to taKe. It is suggested that I have bean using flattering words since I came here about that proposal.

The world Will be better tomorrow when it knows that the interest of America in human right has not weakened. “Your country and ours have very largely the same problems to con- sider ‘and to confront. There is a natural disinclination in England to ®get entangled in European politics. It is traditional. - “We have said, ‘We are an island in the Atlantic; we have got the sea between us and you,' and in the past it has proved to be just as difficult to cross the straits of Dover as to cross the Atlantic ocean, when the British fleet is about. Describing the terrible toll of life and property taken by the world war and admonishing America not to think too harshly of Europe, he said: “There are events in the lives of men and in the lives of nations which are like the fall of the autumn leaves. But, once in a century, there are events which are like the fall of the stars; the fragments strike the earth and send it rocking and reeling out of its course. “There were' empires in Europe: that were like the planets in the heavens that have been rolled down into utter erkless darkness. There were countries that were fixed stars in the firmament; they have crashed into atoms. The earth quivers in Europe, and no one can tell how far it has been shocked out of its course. Don't be hard on Europe. “But they say to us in Britain and they say to you here, ‘Keep clear of the wreckage.’ but there are millions underneath. Europe has played a great part. There would have been no known America had there been no Europe to find it. A tute another. ‘had Just returned STAR, WASHINGTO. HOSPITAL GUILD RAISES $1,000 ON MEMBER FUND Team Headed by Mrs. B. A.

One thousand dollars was ralsed during the first week's drive for membership funds by the Woman's Gulld of Sibley Memorial Hospital, it was announced last night at a meet- ing of the guild in the Rust Memorial Hall, 1150 North Capitol street. The drive will continue over a period of one year in an effort to raise mem- bership funds of $2,500. Two competitive teams were chosen to make the drive during the .last week. The team headed by Mrs. R. Chapin defeated the other team in a close contest. An address was delivered by Rev. C. G. Chappell of the Mount. Vernon M. E. Church, while Rev.

P Unless you stamp out that con- viction, civilization is doomed on this ehrth. ;“Why do I say that these great na. thonalities are the only two that can provide the remedy? These two cquntrics _entered the war for no sdifish purpose. We both came in to redress a_ great Wrong. There have been times In the his- toty of the world where you have had two or three nations that for the time being have been the trustees of clviization. One after another they have falled. They have not dis- charged thelir functions, and in spite of the efforts and the power they en- joyed in the days of their might, one after another they went and new na- tions sprang up to take their place. The commission of trusteeship for ctvilization does not come from kings, it does not come from ruler or princess, it does not come from sen- ates and parliaments nor counclls, it comes from on high. When it comes it does not come from the choice of the people. It comes from the will of_God. “That commission—that commission is yours and-ours today.- The scene is a divine occasion. You responded to the invisible message in 1917, and we already had done so0; but the commission s not fulfilled. 'The work is only half done. If it is not dis- charged fully—fully—civilization 1s doomed within this generation to a catastfophe such as the world has never seen. But if you here, this great virile population. It came from Burope. What is the real problem in Europe today? I will tell you. In spite of the war, because Europe has been left so much to herself, she still believes In force. Why? “France says: ‘Justice never gave Alsace-Lorraine back. We had to mighty people, if our people through- out the British empire, resolutely, firmly. courageously, without flinch- ing, carry out the message, then I have no fear but that humanity will climb to higher altitudes of nobility, of security, of happiness, than it has ever yet known."
