One of the most encouraging things, the premier continued, was the ‘'su- perb valor and the trained skill with which the Americans have taken their part in the struggle and defeated the S$oe. It is a most encouraging thing, because there has heen a great flow of thase troops and we are depending on them.” If for any cause the Allles fail suceeed, it will be a sorry world live in, Mr. Lloyd George said “It is impossible to exaggerate the | importance or the significance of the issues with which we are confronted | tadav,” he added ““The fate of the| werld, the destinies of men and the june a purpoge and a to i tol ioned by the failure or the triumph | of eur eause. ‘1f the Prussians sheuld succeed to- | day, they weuld fling back eiviliza- tion into the dark dungeons of the past.
