(, ed not upon the opinion which he hfiw expressed but upon the peace terms which were made. Continuing ,, the prime minister said: j , "What drove us to conscription was tie existence of conscript armies on the continent that inevitably rushed " the world into war. They could not have great military machine there without tempting the men at the head .'f them to try their luck with those machines. The Germans always felt there was nothing to resist their perfect military machine. Must Not Give up Navy. "If you want a permanent peace; if you want to prevent the horrors of "this war being repeated you must put " an end to conscript armies of the con""tlnent of Europe. "The first thing to do is to prevent

the repltition of blunders of the past j by making it impossible to have those ..JireAt conscript armies in the future. I "We did not have the machinery j f-fer an offensive war. Our navy is a ''i defensive weapon and not an offen- .' five one; and that is why we do not . mean to give it up. We have keptj i these islands free from invasion forj centuries, end we mean to take no ; risk in the future." I Mr. Lloyd George declared that the I , decision which would be taken in the! ;.' next few months in the peace confer-

Tuesday, Dec. 10 British wireless service Professor Christian Collin of Christiania university, writing on "the freedom of the seas" in the Norwegian paper Tidens Tegn says: "A voice is heard in Norway a voice, from Germany loudly pleading for freedom of the seas. No human being will deny that Germany has indeed done her best to free the seas, that is to say, free them from carrying living men and ships. "Those who really liberated the

seas from being a place of ceaseless

agony from whose depths

bubbles the last dying breath of those by

sunk without a trace by, the most destructive band of brigands ever known these were not the Germans but England and her colonies, France, Italy and the United States, and it is

I they alone who have the right to

speak loudly of 'freedom of the seas.' "Those others who have scattered broadcast the result of a million labors should be silent. The very seas themselves might well pray for deliverance from these hypocrites, who

dare speak of the freedom of the seas."
