Answers to Inquiries
There have been several letters
asking for the recipe for nut ’read
and others have asked for sugges
tions along the line of lunches and
"when one is entirely at a loss
what to cook.” At this season there
come days, rainy weather affects
me, when I want an entirely new
program. That’s the time to use new
I recipes, or to experiment. So I am
' going to give you the result of my
i experiences and experiments, or some
I of them.
First and foremost, let me tell you
that you should always keep raisins
in the house. They come in tin cans,
or paper cartons, and form the pivot
on which many a good dish depends.
Their food value is high, and when
you want a special treat for the
children get them a package of seed
less raisins.
Another article of food that I al
wavs try to keep is rice. Sometimes
> 1 mix the left-over rice with oatmeal
and have a new cereal for break
fast. Sometimes it goes in griddle
cakes or muslins, and often, of
course. It is on the table with roast
meat. And I always want it when
I have turnip salad. All of you know
; the usual rice puddings, but before
sugar became scarce I had a pudding
I that I am going to give you today;
' sugar is becoming more plentiful.
Caramel Rice Pudding—Half cup-
I ful of rice, three cupfuls milk, three
fourths cup of sugar, one-fourth
cup of butter or substitute, three
eggs, cinnamon to taste, one-fourtn
cup seeded raisins, pinch of salt.
Wash rice and steam it in milk until
thick. Then let it cool. Cream the
butter and sugar. Add the well-beat
j enwggs, raisins, salt, rice and cinna
i mon. Hero comes the difference. In
stead of greasing your pudding dish,
put in two tablespoonfuls, or more,
of caramel and let it cover the sides
of the pudding dish. Bake in a mod
erate oven.
You may not have the caramel, so
! here is the recipe:
Carapiel—Place a cupful of either
brown or white sugar in a pan with
a tablespoonful of water, let it re
main over the fire until it melts and
becomes a rich dark brown. Then
;.dd a teacupful of boiling water and
let it simmer for ten minutes. When
i there is more than you need for im
mediate use let it cool and pour it
I into a bottle and keep for another
time.
Rice Pie—Boil a cup of rice in a
quart of milk until tender. Beat into
it a pinch of salt, two tablespoonfuls
I of sugar, juice and grated peel of a
lemon, and three eggs that have been
I beaten very thoroughly. Turn the
mixture into a pie plate that has
■ been lined with pastry and bake. Sift
sugar over it just as you cut to
serve.
Nut Bread —Two cups of flour, one
third cup of sugar, pinch of salt, two
teaspoonfuls baking powder, cup of
sweet milk, one egg, half a cup of
nuts, cut line or mashed. They do
not do so well when put through the
meat chopper as when washed with a
cup. Pour in a baking pan and let
set twenty minutes. Bake in a mod
erate oven.
Many of you may not know what
a treasure a box of Grape-Nuts may
become. and gelatine is another
“must have" in every home. Try
these two recipes:
Fruit Pudding—One package lem
on gelatine dissolved in one pint of
boiling water, add lemon juice, or
half pound of raisins or other fruit,
three-fourths pint of Grape-Nuts,
cup of walnuts, mix thoroughly and
pour in a dish to cool and harden. Do
not put in the dish until almost stiff,
ns you must stir occasionally to keep
from sinking. Serve with whipped
cream.
Minute Plum Pudding—One envel
ope gelatine dissolved in a pint of
boiling water. Add the juice of one
lemon, small teaspoonful vanilla ex
tract. five tablespoonfuls of sugar,
pinch of salt, one cup of Grape-Nuts,
one cup of chopped raisins, two
ounces of citron, two English wal
nuts or half a cup chopped pecans,
one-half of a small apple chopped
fine. Mix ail together and pour in a
mould to cool. Serve with whipped
cream and one spoonful of sugar fla
vored with vanilla or grape juice.
Christmas is almost here, are you
going to be s?lf-denying and give
only useful presents? Are you only
going to give to the children, the
lonely and the old people? We must
not cease our patriotism now. The
little French and Belgian children.
;he people of Armenia and Poland
are freezing and starving. Don’t say
“They are too far off.” They need
at least a part of your tenth. If you
have not commenced giving the Lord
His tenth let this be the time to do
so.
Faithfullv yours.

AKSWER3 TO QUESTIONS
Dear Mrs. Thomas: Will you
please give me an idea of correct
amount of feed for forty head of
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13, 1018.
1 chickens, all grown? I have the
White Leghorns; they were bought
from a reliable poultryman, but 1
| seldom have eggs when ail my neigh
' bors have them to sell. 8o 1 am
convinced that 1 either do not use
correct iood. or too much. Those I
kill are always tat. 1 keep them
in a good-sized yard and u e corn,
wheat, bran and table scraps. .Just
• how much ot eacn grain and how
'. otten should they be nd? This and
any other advice about.caring i’or
, them will be appreciated.
This letter is a good example of
. nianv that have come to me. It these
I have written to me there must be
; many more who are disgusted with
I their flocks and have determined to
| kill or sell them.
J would do neither. To begin
I with, the ration is not balanced.
There is nothing said aoout green
food, and they must have that to
make satisfactory records as egg ma
chines. They need some sort ot' ma
terial for the grain to be thrown in,
leaves, chaff front the barn, straw
or the commercial sort tiiat one can
get by the bale. Even on the farm,
tor my breeding pen, I find the good
commercial scratch feed more satis
factory than what we raise, tor it is
more "thoroughly mixed. Where the
flock has a good range they have a
better opportunity to select their bal
anced diet. If one has a rye patch,
or a mixture of rye and barley, the
hens are almost sure to give a sub
stantial sort of appreciation of one's
thoughtfulness toward them. Sprout
ed oats are more trouble, but what
I can one expect in the line of success
unless an effort is continually made.
One of the most extensive advertis
ing agencies in America has this
motto: “Keeping everlastingly at it
leads to success." And there is not
a month in the year that a flock of
hens can be neglected. I was away
when my rye should have been plant
ed and now 1 have nothing like
enough. I cut off some every day
and feed to the pens. And, as I’ve
told you many times, I put oats in
a trench, filled it with water, cover
with earth and put a heavy board on
it.. The board is to keep them from
getting the oats before they sprout.
As a rule I have two boards and as
one begins to sprout the other trench
is planted.
I often have letters from people
whose flock is mixed and they want
to build it up. It is like the advice
to cattle men. Better sell a few or
many of those scrub hens and get
two really good hens of your favorite
breed, mate with a good cockerel
and set those eggs. Several times
I’ve sold a trio and have never failed
to get a letter telling me that suc
had been the result. Get the
idea out of your head that a flock
must consist of ten or more. And
ten or twelve dollars spent that way
brings earlier results than even baby
chicks. I bought day-olds for I got
the “chicken fever” in December.
Another mistake that many make is
changing strains. About every two
years I get one new cockerel, but I
get it from the same poultry yard
that furnished my present start. And
by going over my records I can tell
from what pen my customers get
their stock, and this year I have
furnished cockerels for their old
hens.
Get the idea out of your head that
real poultry raisers are keeping any
secrets of success. .

FBOM FORTY YEARS’ EXPEDI
ENCE
Dear Troubled Wife: I gather
from your letter in Joufnal of No
vember 29 that yob have allowed
yourself to become a “doormat” of
a wife. Brace up and assert your
self. Don’t quarrel (that never ac
complishes anything). Don’t argue
and above all, don't try to explain.
If he gets into a temper and ac
cuses you wrongfully. look him
straight in the face and say, “Con
sult your own conscience, vou must
have something of the kind or even
worse, or you would not suspect
me.” One time is enough to sav
that.
When he begins leave him alone.
Go into another room and get busy.
Probably by the time you see him
again, his mood will have changed.
I have found that to leave a man
to himself for a half hour is the
easiest way to avert a quarrel. Even
if you feel that you are right and
he is wrong, use your self-control
and leave him to his oini thoughts.
Many a time have I put on my cloak
and gloves and sat in a cold room,
and read or wrote, until I thought
he had simmered down. Don’t
threaten to go home, or any other
thing.
He asked you to marry him, you’ve
cast in your lot and helped to make
what is there. Do vour nart pleas
antly and thoroughly. Cultivate a
sense of humor. Try to see the fun
ny side of things; it will h«dn won
derfully. Don’t mope nor whine, nor
bo afraid of the other girl. You’ve
got him: forget her.
A WIFE OF FORTY YEARS.
TO TBOUBLSD WIFE
Dear Troubled Wife: Your letter
touched my heart, just as many
wives have done in the past. It is
strange that some men will be
lirutes, but the fact remains that
they are. Such a fellow does not
deserve a wife, yet they seem to
marry the best and purest women
And because the women think it
their duty they eat our their food in
sorrow and put up with it. I've seen
men torment their patient, long-suf
fering wives, and I know some wom
en who would like to bear the heart
broken wife’s burden just long
enough to break the man’s heart, or
if too hard to break, then crack it,
cr inflict some sort of misery where
his heart ought to be. And some
women could accomplish this. too.
Ten years from now you may look
back and smile to remember your
“big trouble,’’ but at present It is
very real and very agonizing to bear.
Since you are a pure woman and
he has r.o cause for his jealousy. It
must be very disgusting and revolt
ing to endure. But do not let it
drag your soul down from the moun
tain tons of noble ambitions and
ideals into the mushroom, stagnant
valleys. where his poisonous
thoughts must dwell. You have a
part to play. The time to begin is
now. not tomorrow.
First ask him what sort of women
he was accustomed to associate with
before he knew and married you?
That since his w’ords and actions bear
out the answer it must not have been
your kind. Furthermore, ask him the
sort of life he lived previous to his
marriage. Because purity seeks ever
to believe In purity and a coarse, vul
gar mind strives to draw purity down
upon its own plane. You say you
have prayed. That is good, but we
must work while we pray. You ’.rant
to be understood. This is natural and
when a woman marries a man who
cannot understand, then she must
indeed be miserable, because in mar
ried life this is one of the sweetest
of all things—to have a husband who
understands, who does rot tread on
tender places in one’s heart. Dear
little woman. It takes a man to un
derstand. A jealous creature never
can until that spirit bo con<yiered. If
your husband has in him (he mak
ings of a men, a principle, backbone
something firm and steadfast to
build upon, then a wise woman can

Permanent Navy to
Require More Men
Than Are Authorized
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—A con
siderable increase above the author
ized strength of the navy is neces
sary. according to the bureau of navi
gation annual report made public to
day.
"Since last annual report.” said the
message, written October 15, “the
permanent navy has been increased
from 57.000 men and 6.000 appren
tice seamen to 131.485 men and 6,-
0.)0 apprentice seamen. This num
ber is just sufficient to man Che
ships of the regular navy in com
mission and to be commissioned by
the end of the present fiscal year,
on the basis of the former comple
ment sheets.
"Since that date, however. the
commander-in-chief has submitted
the final recommendations of the
fleet as a result ot’ actual experience
with new and perfected instruments
and more modern methods. This will
require an increase over the old com
plements in order that our efficiency
may not be behind that of other
naval powers.
“For the regular naval vessels
that will be in commission by the
end of the next fiscal year and a
readjustment of complements brought
out bv war experience, there will bo
required a considerable increase
above the present authorized
strength.”
The report showed that the war
strength of the navy had been de
veloped from about 56.000 men to
over 500.000. The training systems
afloat and ashore made it possible
to convert men from civil life quick

Says 90 Per Cent of
Flu Deaths Preventable
CHICAGO. Dec. 11.—Ninety per
cent of the deaths from influenza and
I neumonia are preventable, when a
properly prepared vaccine is used, ac
cording to an address by Dr. E. C.
Rosenow, of Rochester. Minn., before
the annual meeting of the American
Public Health association today.
Surgeon General Blue, head of tne
United States public health service,
also a speaker at the conference, said
nearly 350.000 deaths occurred among
civilians kfrom September 1, 1918. to
December 1, 1918, from influenza and
pneumonia. He had no figures on the
epidemic in the army camps.
Dr. Rosenow read figures on the re
sults of inoculations around Roches
ter. showing that after the third in
oculation there were nine cases of in
fluenza per 1.000, against 220 per 1.-
000 among the uninoculated, and
1 8-10 cases per 1.000 of pneumonia
against fourteen per 1.000 among
those not inoculated. Over 20.000
persons were given the three inocula
tions and their cases were compared
with 61,000 not given the treatment.
The deaths from influenza and pneu
monia among those inoculated wore

help to mold him into the man God
meant him to be.
You say you have never told him
a falsehood. One can do this anil
yet tell him too much. Keep him
guessing part ot the time. You dwell
on how much you love him. Do not
ba too demonstrative. A man wearies
of hearing how much you love him;
grows too used to caresses being
showered free gratis over him. Let
him seek your love hnd caresses. Quit
telling him how much you love him.
Act coldly and more distant toward
him. Give him ample time to won
der why. Let him have cause to
suspect that you are growing indif
ferent toward him; that his jealousy
is driving you from him. You have
told him you would leave him, yet
he acts no better, and you feel you’d
never be satisfied away from him.
He evidently knows as much, so con
tinues to torture your soul. He eith
er isn't capable of the best love or
he hasn’t had bis awakening yet. He
needs an electric chock or an earth
quake, some good, hard sort of shak
ing up. It's up to you, little wife,
to administer it. Forget how much
you love him and proceed on your
course of treatment unless you want
to allow him to continue his highly
enjoyable act of breaking your heart.
Evidently he enjoys seeing you
suffer. It’s your turn now to show
hhn how it feels. You’ve failed in
acting the saint. He does not appre
ciate your saintliness. Watch your
opportunities. Then get a jealous
spell on yourself. Say the mean
things to him he’s beeng saying to
you. Keep him on the rack and pour
it in to him so fast, he'll be so busy
squirming he will forget to torment
vou. Keep thin up for a spell. It
will at least give him something new
to think about.
Don’t be afraid of him. Some men
delight in showing wives they’re
boss. Hold yourself aloof; make him
look up to you. Men prefer women
on a pedestal to those on footstools
at their feet. Yet many women place
themselves there, not knowing at the
time they’ll get stepped upon later,
and used as a door mat in no time, so
get off the footstool back to the
pedestal and be quick about It, be
fore your nerve fails you.
Treat other men friends socially
and chat with them and laugh and
smile right before your husband’s
eyes and he’ll be storing up wrath in
eyes. An awful look will come in his
his brain that will give you thunder
when he gets jou home. But just
before you catch it you smile at him
and remarw sweetly, “Did you see
me chatting to our old friends? So
many folks think you’re jealous, so I
just took that opportunity to show
them you’re a man and not a jealous
fool.” You say sometimes you be
lieve he really wants you to go.
Well, go. A dose of absent treatment
would be as fine medicine for him as
the foregoing. Only he requires a
general mixture to cure his terrible
disease. Plan and nut into execution
a trip. If h“ mentions being left all
by his lonesome, tell him he needs
to bo alone. That you see he Is
wearied having you around th-’ place.
Tell him jealous thoughts such as he
feeds upon will cause him to go In
sane and you do not want to feel re
sponsible for it, so that you’ll get
out of his way for a snell and give
him a change for variety. By all
means goi Miracles lie in Journeys.
And don’t mope about him when

GERMAN GDNOSTIfINS
HOT 50 ITO. 85
PIMM PRESS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—While
the slate department today declined
to be specific as to its information
concerning Germany, it intimated
that conditions in that nation are not
as bad as painted by press accounts.
There appears now to be a swing
toward more conservatism than re
cently. This is evidenced by reports
of counter revolutions, including the
rumored siege of Prince Henry of
Prussia against the reds at Thorn.
This government is watching close
ly the developments within Germany
as the time approaches for assem
bly of the national soviet congress.
This body, as already pointed out,
will set a date lor elections. It prob
ably will also undertake to lay down
some basis for the future of the na
tion.
Bolshevism probably will not gain
the upper hand in Germany, it is
now felt, but the outgrowth of the
present ferment is regarded as like
ly to be a very liberal socialism.
It is doubtful that the peace con
ference will wait upon formation of
a stabilized government in Germany
before making its conclusion. if
there is an organization which can
conclude a peace, it will go ahead
with its treaty, according to the view
here. x
As for Russia, it is said that there
will be representative Russians in
Paris, but that there will be no ac
tual delegates inasmuch as there is
not even a de'acto regime in Russia
to appoint delegates.
PAPER WARNS AGAINST
GERMAN BANKRUPTCY
AMSTERDAM. Dec. 11.—The Co
logne Zeitung warns against possible
bankruptcy of Germany and declares
that unless the financial situation is
improved the Germans will be unable
to pay either their tax or the indem
nities expected to be demanded by
the allies.
“The present Socialistic govern
ment with its continual demands for
higher wages while Germany is un
able to produce or export is bound to
hasten bankruptcy,” the newspaper
says.
"German banks cannot hold out
move than a few weeks under the
present financial strain. If the situ
ation continues, nobody in Germany
will lie able to pay taxes, not count
ing the indemnities.”
The Zeitung suggests ’hat the na
tional assembly establish a strong
financial nrogram in which, contrary
to the Socialists’ views, taxation
would be divided equitably among
the whole population. Otherwise, the
newspaper predicts, there will be the
most far-reaching catastrophe.

NOT TO SEND DELEGATES
BERLIN. Monday. Dec. 9. (By
the Associated Press.) —The German
cabinet has sent a wireless message
to the Russian government asking it
not to send a delegation to Berlin
for a conference planned for Decem
ber 16. The reason given was “the
present situation tn Germany."
The Russian Bolshevist delegates
were Invited by the executive com
mittee of the soldiers’ and workmen’s
council against the wishes of the
cabinet. The opposition of the. cabi
net has been strengthened, beyond
doubt. by accusations made bv
Adolph .loffe, the Bolshevist ambas
sador to Germany, who has made a
statement saying that Ministers
Haase. Barth and others were friend
ly toward him and actively seconded
his plan to introduce Russian meth
ods into Germany. Tn spite of their
denials M. .Toffee's accusations have
created a painful impression in

Battle on Tax Plan
Is Begun in Senate
By Attack on Bill
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.—The con
i gressional battle royal over the coun
try’s reconstruction tax policy began
today. Senator Simmons, chairman
of the senate finance committee, filed
his formal report on the bill in the
senate. It was at once made the tar
get for several minority reports.
7he first was one signed by all Re
publican members ot the committee,
breathing unalterable opposition to
including in the bill taxes for 1920.
Senators Smoot and La Follette also
nad individual reports dissenting
from the majority view.
Senator Simmons presented the bill
as "the fairest both to business and
the great mass of taxpayers, and the
best from the government’s point of
view that it has been possible to ar
rive at."
lu a word, the bill proposes to raise
about $4,600,000,00!) income, war and
excess profits taxes for the fiscal year
1919, and $1,400,000,000 from other
sources, a total of $6,000,000,000. For
the fiscal year 1920, it will produce a
little less than $3,000,000,000 from in
comes and profits taxes and about
$1,000,000,000 from other sources, a
total of $ 1,000,000.000.
"About the wisdom of such a pro
gram we entertain no serious dount,”
said Senator Simmons. "It is im
perative tiiat the profits and income
realized in 1918 be heavily taxed.
This is not only necessary to raise
the needed revenue, but it is equit
able and in accordance with sound
public policy.
“The profits realized during 191 S
are largely war profits; they are now
in the pockets of the taxpayer; they
should contribute heavily before they
have been dissipated or reinvested.
“But it is equally important tnat
these special taxes should be reduced
as the occasion which inspired and
justified them recedes into the past.
Not to provide now for the reduction
! of the war profits tax after I’JlS’s
i profits have been taxed would be as
; inexcusable as not to tax those
I profits. ’’
Senator Simmons and other Demo
• cratic leaders admitted today they
I will have a hard time getting any
revenue legislation passed this ses
sion. With the help ot the treasury
department, however, they will bring
the strongest pressure to bear, it
will be pointed out to congress that
failure to enact a tax law soon will
mean that more billions of bonds will
have to be floated, with the country
at peace and no means existing of
raising any enthusiasm over a bond
sale.
Senator Smoot and other Republi
can leaders have stated they oppose
i including the 1920 tax because they
I fear the 54,000,000,000 provided for
1920 by the bill will not be enough,
; and the Republican congress would
; be forced to impose heavier taxes to
I meet the deficit and thus be blamed
i for increasing taxes.
Berlin and Vienna
Again Told to Address
Allies, Not U. S. Alone
WASHINGTON, Dee. 10.—Notes
were sent to Berlin and Vienna bv
the state department today advising
the German ami Austrian govern
nients that the United States desires
to receive no f urther communications
from them which should properly be
addressed to all the allied nations.
The state department issued this
statement:
The state department has given
formal notice to Germany and Aus
tria through the legations In charge
of the interests of those governments
here, that the United States insists
that communications addressed to
the United States government, or to
the president of the United States
as to the terms of the armistice oi
aa to other matters in which the as
sociated governments are alike con
cerned, should be transmitted to all
i the associated governments and not
to this government alone.
“This is the second request along
this line which the state department
has made to the enemy countries. The
latest note, which acting Secretary
Polk has sent to the Swiss and Swe
dish legations, for transmission to
Germany and Austria, is brought out
particularly by a communication fiom
tlie national council of Lemourg. te
garding the boundary lines, and
brought also by various communica
tions received from Austria and Ger
many which bore no evidence of hav
ing been similarly communicated to
the governments associated with the
United States/*

BDUBMRYDISPIJTE
BETWEEN BELCIUM
momBEPOBT
LONDON, Dec. 11.—(British Wire
less Service.) —Belgian claims that
the peace conference will be directed,
not only against Germany, but
against Holland, according to the
Metropole, of Antwerp, which prints
a statement made by the Belgian
minister of foreign affairs. The min
ister is quoted as follows:
“Obviously our first demand from
Germany will be the restitution ot
all of which we were robbed in hun
dreds of ways. As far as territorial
readjustments are concerned, if you
carefully read between the lines of
the passages of the recent speecn
from the throne which refers to the
old treaties they will tell you as
much as I can.”
The passages in question deal
especially with the international
treaty of 1839 which fixed the status
of Belgium. This treaty deprived
the young kingdom of Belgium of
the principal portions of her prov
inces of Leswig and Luxemburg and
enriched the German confederation
by the Belgian towns of the provinces
of Liege, such as St. Vith, Eupon,
Malmady and Montjoie. It likewise
made the kingdom of The Nether
lands master of the lower Scheldt.
The consequence was that the
beginning of the war Antwerp ha»
been bottled up and deprived of all
possible assistance by sea against
the invader. In declaring that the
treaty which wronged Belgium h:
this way and reduced her in size
from 1839 to 1918, is now a dead
letter, the king gave an idea of what
Belgian claim:; would be.

Thinks U. S. Should
Help Russia to Stay
German Influence
BY J. W. T. MASON.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The efforts
of tne leaders of the Russian Mol
.saeviki to strengthen themselves at
nome by forming an effective alliance
will! the extremist factions in Ger
many are not proving successful.
The Germans are adopting some
of the outward forms ot the Bolshev
iki governmental system, and the
administration of Germany by ( the
Bolsheviki method of local soviets is
now in operation. But the essential
factor in the Bolshevik! theory, that
the workingmen should possess all
power and should abolish tlie middle
and upper classes, has made no
marked impression upon the Ger
mans. The soviet principle of ex
tensive self-government in local ad
ministrative affairs has probably
been accepted by the Germans for
good. But having gone this tar, the
Germans are now planning to domi
nate a reformed Russia politically,
as they formerly tried to control the
Russia ot the czars industrially.
It is highly probable that if the
Bolshevik! do not in the end throw
Germany into turmoil, the Germans
will impress an orderly Influence
upon the Russians. This will mean
the inevitable spread of German in
fluences in Russia and may well
lead to so strong an alliance as will
threaten Europe with a new German '
menace.
Russia is now isolated by the rest
of the world. The Russians undoubt
edly believe they have a grievance
against thq western democracies.
They imagine they are being pun
ished because their own ideas of
democracy are far in advance of wes
tern ideas. Whether they are right
or wrong, it can not be advantageous
to America and the allies to permit
Russia to linger in that belief and ‘
be slowly starved into the arms of
Germany. Instead of helping the
Germans and thus giving Germany
an opportunity to help Russia to her
own advantage, the western govern
ments ought to offer material assist
ance to the Bolsheviki by w’hatever
method the Russian government sug
gests. In the long run this is no
more than a policy of self-interest.
England Must Keep
Her Navy Supreme,
Says Lloyd George
BRISTOL. England, Dec. 11.—“ The
navy is a defensive weapon, not of
fensive,” Premier Lloyd-George de
clared in a speech here today, "that
is the reason we don’t mean to give
it up.”
“If you want peace, you want a
permanent peace," said Premier
Lloyd-George. “It you want to pre
vent the horrors of war being re
peated, you must put an end to con
script armies on the continent of
Europe.”
Mr. Lloyd George said conscrip
tion was introduced in Great Britain
to meet a great emergency and that
when the emergency was passed the
need which caused the passing of
the act would lapse and there was
no immediate intentio nto renew it.
Whether some kind of conscription
would be required in the future, he
added, would depend entirely upon
the peace terms.
Referring to the question of an in
demnity, Mr. Lloyd George said:
"It is indispensable that a person
who is in the wrong and has lost
should pay more than a person who
has been declared in the right and
has won.”
There is absolutely no doubt, the
premier added, that the former Ger
man emperor has committed a crime
against national right and there is
absolutely no doubt that he ought to
be held responsible for it. Mr. Lloyd
George declared that as far as the
European allies are concerned there
is no doubt that the demand will be
put forward to make the emperor
and his accomplices responsible for
their crimes. The premier added:
“I hope America will take the same
view when the presiden tarrives.”
