. Those who hope forthe subjugation of Germany by ‘économie
means may well consider the conclusion arrived at by David Lloyd
George, Britain’s most prominent statesman, who believes that only

a. crushing military victory over the Teutons will britig the war tol :

‘a satisfactory conclusion. In an interview the other day Move
George said? * \
Franee during the war. I set her up as England’s constant model.
Her soldiers and generals show qualities of endurance, courage and
military skill worthy of the highest deeds of Napoleon’s army.
“Weare now too closé properly to judge the immortal pages
written by France in the book of history, but historians of the

future will: write of ‘the splendid deeds of her sons in letters of |

gold. 8

" “At the name of Verdun, I bow bétore such proofs of” super-
human courage. The French . army. ‘met a shock, backed by the
most barbarous methods, such as no army ever had to. meet. — It,

will be one of the most decisive battles of the war, because it|

represents the enemy’s supreme military effort. ,
~ “Tts lesson for the Allies is that heavy artillery and the most
vislent explosives will play the preponderating role ‘in the battles
to come. . We will profit thereby, for it comes at a moment when
the fabrication of munitions inerenses Prodigiously and the Allied
strength daily augments.
: “T have never despaired of victory. The task will. be hard, but
the end i is sure, . Et is: Germany’ 8 military force that we must beat.
it. “is ‘not énough: to force her to submission by edononiic pressure.
A peace imposed on, Germany, exhausted i in food and materials only, |:

would not be durable, ‘It would be a moral defeat for the Allies.
The Germans could say they had ‘beaten us in battle and made
peace only because we had starved taeir women and children. That.
peace we do not want, - Only a crushing military vietory will bring |,
the peace for which the Allies are fightihy and of which Germany
will understand the meaning. That victory we shall have; it will
be complete and final.”” , _ mS

SOLDIERS’ AID FUND
Many letters from Hazelton!
men at the front have been re-

ceived by the Soldiers’ Aid Com- | ,

_ mittee, The boys are all appre-
ciative of the work the Hazelton
people are doing through the
committee, and their communi-
cations show that they are proud
of the town they-hail from, Their

. requirements are invariably of
the most modest character and
the committee has so far exper-
ienced no difficulty in supplying

them, although further subscrip- '

tions will be weleomed by R. E.
Allen, the secretary. -

Late casualties amongst local |-

men include .George.. McKay.
slightly wounded: “‘Spot’” Middle. |'

pital, and Percy Frost, wounded

Jack Frost, whoge good work as
stretcher-bearer was spoken of
by others, is returning here,

count of his wounds.
