He hoped that a party of Italians would come to see the tremendoa mauitions works of Great Britain Mr. Philippine Lloyd George declared that
Was absolutely con- fident; firstly, because the Allies were taking counsel together in-Shanghai & stead of acting independently as they had mistakenly done in the past; and, secondly, “because we shall have more men, strong and ft, and more maditions then the enemy, so that the war is only beginning for us, while the ec?nomic and financial conditions of swatow, Amoy & Formosa Tis Azpiar & Germany are growing wores daily. There must by na military deadlock," he said. "It may take long to crack the nut, bat we must hear it crack. It is a grim, final struggle between military anhcracy and political liberty.
