VOL. LIX.—NO. 89 WELCOMED AS ALLY BY LLOYD-GEORGE Speaking Before a Notable Assembly at the American Luncheon Club in London MADE A SCATHING DEN British Premier, After Declaring That the United States of America Had Never Engaged in a War Except for Liberty, Warned the United States to Avoid the Blunders Committed by the British—Plainly Asserted That There Will be No Peace While Germany—Narrated Incidents of Prussian Intrigues and ‘Tyranny — Ambassador Luncheon Was Given, Made a Patriotic Response. London, April 12—As the first Brit- ish prime minister to salute the Amer- jcan nation as comrades in arm: David Lioyd George, speaking before £ notable assembly brought together by the American Luncheon club today, mroused intense enthusiasm by hi& scathing denunciation of Prussia and his warm welcome of America as an =ily in the war. it was a stirring day, for the taking up of arms by America was celebrated by two notable gatherings, ome under the auspices of the American Luncheon club and the other a dinner by the Pilgrims’ club in honor of the Ameri- can ambessador, Walter Hines Page. Viscount_Bryce, the former ambassa- dor at Washington, presided at the dinner to Mr. Page and delivered an eloguent oration. “The United States of America, of 2 moble tradition never broken, never have, in & war except of lib- erty,” Mr. Lioyd George “That it has ma€e up its mind finally makes it abundantly clear to the world that this is a great fight for human liberty.” A remarkable feature of the pre- mier's speech was his warning to the United States fo avold the blunders committed by the British. Probably no event celebrated in in the present generation un- officially brought together more men of great prominence than this luncheon. The Pilgrims’ dinner had more of a jmilitary air, with large patches of &haki and navy blue at the tables. Complete Text of Speech. Following is the complete text of Mr. Lioyd George's speech: “I am in the position, in the hap- Py position, of being, I think, the first prime minister of the Crown who, speaking on behalf of the people of this country, could salute the Amer- fcan nation ‘as comrades In arms. I am glad not only because of the stu- pendous resources which this great nation will bring to the succor of the allies, but I rejoice as a democrat that the advent of the United States into this war gives the final stamp to the character of the conflict as a struggle against military autocracy throughout the world. That was the note that rang through the great deliverence of President Wilson’s. It has been in Yyour resounding words, sir. “The United States of America, of & noble tradition, never broken, nev- er bave engaged in a war except of liberty. Great Struggle For Liberty. “This is the greatest struggle for Mberty that they have ever embarked upon. I am not at all surprised, when one recollects the wars of the past, that America took its time to ‘make u pits mind about the character of this struggle in Europe. Most of the great wars in the past were waged for e aggrandizement and for conquest. It is no wonder that when this great war started there were some elements of suspicion stili lurking in the minds of the people of the United States of America that there were many who thonght that perhaps the kings were at their old tricks. I think they comewhat, perhaps, re- garded it as in the nature of a con- spiracy of monarchial swashbucklers. That the United States of America has made up its mind finally makes it abundantly clear to the world that this is no strugsle of that character, but is a great fight for human liber- ¥ Prussia is Not a Democracy. “They naturally did not know at first what we had endured in Europe for years from this military caste— it har never reached as far as _the United States of America. Prussia is not a democracy. The kalser prom- ises that it will be a democracy after the war. I think he is right. But Prussia not merely is not a democra- cy; Prussia was an army. It had its great ambitions, it had its great uni- versities, it had developed its science. All these were subordinate to the one great predominant purpose of an all- conquering army to enslave the world. The army was the spear point of Prus- sia—the rest was the bilded haft. Thres Wars of Conquest. “That {s what we had to deal with in this old outworn country. It was an army that In recént times had three wars, all of conquest, and the incessant tramp of its legions through the streets of Prussia, in pa- rade ground of Prussia, had gone to the Prussian heads. The kaiser, when he witnessed it on a grand scale at his reviews, got drunk with the sound of it. He delivered the law to the world s a new pastor on Sinia de- livering the law from the clouds.

In fact, the secretary pointed out that the net result of the application of the war enlistment plan would be to leave the nation without an army of any sort, regular or na- tional guard, If the war lasted beyond the enlistment terms of men now in those services. The whole force would then be discharged and the adminis- tration apparently expects that a new peace-time military policy, founded on universal service, will have been en- acted by that time. phasized that the administration war army bill is only an emergency meas- ure. contemplated It has been em- “] stand firmly and unalterably in support of that bill,” Secretary Baker said, “without modification of its least detail.” from which Europe has suffered for fifty years. It sapped the benefits and the equities of all states which ought to have devoted and concentrat- ed on the well-being of their peoples. They had to take into account this menace, which was their constant pre- occupation, as a cloud ready to burst over the land.” “France—no one knew except Frenchmen what they endured from this tyranny—patiently, gallantly, with dignity, prepared till the hour of de- liverance came. The best energies of democratic France have been devoted to preparing against the impending terror, the brave things France was capabie of, and that great home of the ‘maginative, fertile mind, which would otherwise have been devoted to prog- ress, was paralyzed. This is the state of things we have to emcounter. “The most characteristic of all Prus- stan intitutions js the Hindenburg line. What is a Hindenburg line? A Hindepburg line is & line drawn on territories of other people, warning them that the inhabitants of those territories shall not cross it at peril of their lives. That line has been thrown across Europe for fifty vears, in many lands.~ You recollect what happened some years ago to France when a French foreign minister was practically driven out of office by Prussian _interference. Why? What had he done? He had done nothing but what a minister of an independent state had the most absolute right to do. He had crossed the imaginary line drawn within French territory by Prussian despotism. Fight for Emancipation. “But Europe, after enduring this for generations, made up its mind at last that the Hindenburg line must be drawn along the legitimate frontiers of Germany.

The Dutch ship was rounding the Irish coast, the officer sald, when the submarine appeared and started after the British vessel some distance away. Shells from a deck gun brought the transport to a stop and the men were taking to the boats as the submarine approached. Suddenly there was heard a heavy explosion ‘and the U-boat was lifted out of the water and, turning in the air, plunged downward, bow first. The officers of the Dutch ship were of the opinion the submarine struck a Ger- man mine. 1 GERMAN SUBMARINE !

Washington, April 12-—With high British and French naval officers in conference here with American naval officials, definite steps have been taken toward participation of the American Davy in the war against Germany. Patrol of the entire Atlantic seaboard, reaching southward to the Panama canal zone and possibly northward to include Canada, will be the first duty of American warships. With that goes the necessity of guarding against the probable extension of the German sub- marine campaign to include approaches to major American ports. U. S. Navy to Patrol Coast. British and French ships now on this patrol duty will be withdrawn as soon as the American forces have their lines established. The American squadrons will operate from British and French bases in the south Atlantic, wherever necessary. This was learned today in connection with the _announcement that Vice Admiral M. E. Browning of the British navy and Rear Admiral R. A. Grasset of the French navy are in Washington, conferring with Secretary Daniels, Admirai Benson, chief of na- val operations, and other officers of the American navy. The conferences have to do with the part the American fleet will play in the war, either immediate- i1y or later, when its strensth in light patrol craft and trained men has been mereased. Commanders of the British and French forces off the American coasts, lit is known, have expected that Ger- |many would extend her submarine op- | erations to these waters. Arrange- | ments to patrol vigorousiv the ap- proaches to the chief American har- bors have been made and will be car- ried out by American ships. Germany Has Not Announced Blockade It has been expected that Germany would formaliy announce a submarine blockade of Boston, New York, the mouth of the Delaware, the mouth of the Chesapeake, Chariéston and Sa- vannah. These are the arteries through which flows the main traffic_in food- stuffs and war supplies for Europe. Unless a blockade is declared, in line with her previous action, Germany will be under the necessity of giving warning before attacking merzhant craft under neutral flags. Many naval officers doubt that amy considerable number of German sub- marines can be spared from the task of blockading the British Isles for work on this side of thé Atiantic. Sporadic operations within such pre- scribed areas are loowed for, however, and no precaution to guard against thegn will be overlooked by the navy. Submarine Trap Nets. The navy department has a consld- erable suppiy of submarine trap nets already available and more will be de- livered within a few days. It is as- sumed that the approaches to Amerl- can harbors will be fully protected in this way and the fieet of submarine chasers now being assembled, equipped and manned wiil be distributed to comb the seas night and day. The conferences with the visiting officers have dealt with many subjects. It is understood that not only will the naval bases and other British and French ports on this side of the At- lantic be opened to American naval vessels but that, when need arises, Pports on the Brifish and French coasts will be placed at their disposal. An American naval port probably will be established at some future time on the Irish coast, when the measures of co- operation have been extended. Entente Naval Officers Here. Accompanying Admiral Browning are the following British naval offi- cers: Captain A. Downes, G. A. Miller, flag secretary of the commander, Flag Lieutenant Commander A. R. J. South- by and Captain E.

IN SPITE OF RAIN, SNOW AND A FORTY MILE GALE TAKE 2 MORE VILLAGES Unofficial Advices Say That Repre- and Bulgaria Are in Switzerland Making Peace Efforts. In spite of rain and smow and a forty mile gale, the British troops fighting in France have again delivered telling blows on the German line southeast of Arras and to the north on the remaining portion of the Vin: ridge in the hands of the Germans. The bad weather has extended to the front held by the French and Thurs- day saw no activity there except in the nature of reciprocal bombard- ments. sh Take Two Villages.

HOUSE TO BEGIN DEBATE ON WAR REVENUE BILL TODAY General Debate is Likely to Develop ted Discussion of War Situation Washington, April 12.—Congression- al machinery to grind out legislation to finance the war will begin to turn in the open tomorrow, when the house commences debate on’the $7,000,000,000 war revenue authorization measure. It probably will be passed by the house Saturday with only a few dissenting votes. Then the house will turn its attention to providing plans for rais. ing money by taxes to pay a part of the war debt. Discussion of the bill tomorrow probably wiil be extended, for no at- tempt has been made to limit it. Little interest attaches to the measure it- self, however, because of the apparent unanimity of the house in favor of it. General debate is_likely to_develop heated discussion of many phases of the war situation. Secretary McAdoo visited the capi- tol today to make arrangements for pushing the authorization measure through the senate. The house ways and means committee, to which the bill was referred, formally reported the measure back to the house today with the recommendation that it pass. In discussing the bill with the sen- ate committee, Secretary McAdoo ex- pressed sympathy with a suggestion by Senator Smoot that all the $5,000,- 000,000 "in bonds to be authorized in the bill should not be issued at once, although there would be authorization for the total in this legislation. It was sucgested that the war might end within a few months and that it might be just as well to hold up the issue of part of it for several months. Mr. McAdoo promised to give the committee specific _information on plans for raising revenue as soon as possible. The secretary sald he be- lieved at least $1,600,000 could be raised through the taxes sugzested in addition to the amounts now raised by taxation. PRESIDENT'S WIFE IS TO SET AN EXAMPLE Is to Reduce Scale of Living to the Simplest Possible Form. Washington, April 12—Mrs. Wilson, wife of the president: Mrs. Marshall, wife of the vice president, and wivy of the members of the cabinet have agreed to reduce their scale of living to the simplest possible form in order to set an example to other women of the country. To do their part in the movement for the conservation of the nation's time and resources, they have decided to omit the usual formal entertaining and calling and to reduce to the mini- mum their socfal activities, so that they will be able to give more time and money to constructive prepared- ness and relief work. They have agreed to pledze them- selves to buy inexpensive clothing and simple fcod_and to prevent all kinds of waste. Today they informally ap- pealed to ail the women of the country to join them, not only as individuals, but by organization to prevent possi- ble suffering later on.
