Show British Imperial Commission Com-mission Believes Teutons Teu-tons Have Capacity to Defray the Expenses. End to Conscription as Means to Prevent Horrors Hor-rors of War, Premier Lloyd George Says. LONDON, Dec. il. Premier Lloyd George, speaking today a t Bristol, said the English military service act was passed in order to meet a great emergency. emer-gency. When that emergency was passed the need was passed and the act would lapse. He added there was no intention to renew it. Whether Great Britain would require conscription in the future in any shape or form, Mr. Lloyd George said, depended de-pended not upon the opinion which he now expressed, but upon the peace terms which were made. ' Continuing, the prime minister said: "What drove us to conscription was the existence of conscript armies on the continent con-tinent that inevitably rushed the world into war. They could not have great military machines there without tempting the men at the hear) of them to try their luck with those machines. Tiie Germans always felt there was nothing to resist their perfect military machine. WILL NOT REPEAT BLUNDERS OF PAST. "If you want a permanent peace: if you want to prevent horrors of-, this Wi?.r being repeated, you must put an end to conscript armies on the continent of Europe. "The first tiling to do is to prevent the repetition of blunders of the past by making mak-ing it impossible to have those great con- , script armies in the future. "We did not have the machinery for an offensive war. Our navy is a defensive weapon and not an offensive one: .and that is why we do not mean to give it up. Wc have kept these islands free from invasion for centuries, and we mean to -take no risk in the future." Mr. Lloyd George declared that the decision de-cision which would be taken in the next, few months in the peace confeience was going to leave a mark upon the world. The ages to come, lie said, would be able to reap the fruits of it. COST GERMANY LESS THAN GREAT BRITAIN. The piemier next dealt with the question ques-tion of indemnity. Ho declared the war had cost Germany less than it had cost Great Britain. It had cost Great Britain, he declared, S.000,000.000 pounds, a gigantic gigan-tic sum. The German bill, he believed, was six or seven billion pounds. He contended It was indefensible that the person who was in the wrong and had lost should pay less than tho person who was declared to be in the right and had won. The premier said a British imperial commission had been appointed to investigate in-vestigate the capacity of Germany (to pay) ami that he had received its report, lie sunimarizeed his remarks on this point :is follows: 'First As far as justice is concerned we have an absolute right to demand tho whole cost of the war from Germany. "Second We propose to demand the whole cost of the war from German'". "Third When you come to the exacting exact-ing of it we must exact In such a way tha t it. does not do more harm to the count:.'.' that receives It than tiie country that- is paying it. "Fourth The commission appointed by the British cabinet believes that that can be done. "Fift Ii The allies are in exact !y the same boat. We snr.ii put in nur demands all together and whatever they are they must runic in front uf the German war debt." MUST HOLD WILHELM RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIME. The, prime minister continued; "Th."' first consideration jp n10 minds of the ;lies will be the. interest nf the people peo-ple upon whom the Orinans hav.. imde war .md not in the interests of tho caiman cai-man pert' ic. who have made war "and hav heen guilty of t i it, t crime."

So. if the whole wealth of Germany wero taken there would not be enough to pay the account. Therefore, he had used the words. "Germany should pay to ihe utmost, limit of her capacity." The prime minister said Great Britain would be puilty of a great folly if she yave up her navy. A voice interrupted, ''Then watch Wilson Wil-son !" The premier replied: "Well.
