EARLIER TELEGRAMS.
MR, LLOYD GEORGE PRAISES THE WORKERS.
London, "Aug. 15 Speaking at the luncheon given by the Liberal War Com- mittée to Mr. Holman, the Premier of New South Wales, in the House of Commons, Mr. Lloyd George said we must not forget that the progress made in the war, the mile by mile by which we had beaten back the enemy, was due not only to the valour of the soldiers but to the energy of the workers, which had given us superiority of munitions and equipment. All honour to the workers. We were fighting for the victory of democracy over aggression. All other things wrapped up in party programmes were unattain- «
able uniers we woll.
र
Under the constitution no section of the community had as large an interest in the victory of the Allics as bad the workers Nothing in the programme of labour could be achieved if the Allies were beaten. There was room for nationhood within the British Empire and it was this feder- ation of free peoples that was presenting such a formidable obstacle to the aggressive aims of German militariam.
The military position we now held was largely due to the skill and industry of the workmen in factories. Every victory in the, held is a victory for the workers... We also must not forget the unparalleled way in which all the Dominions voluntarily came to the aid of the Mother Coun- try. The strength of the Empire was due to a sense of kinship, fraternity and good will
Mr. Walter Long said that Mr. Holman was among the first of the representatives of the Dominions to preach the doctrine of the Empire first and the traditions of life-time second. As to the successful prosecution of the war be could regard with confidence the future, burden of the Empire as long as they bad men of the Dominions like Mr. Holman and the people he represented.
Mr. Holman in the course of a bold speech advocated closer relation between the workers and the Government in order to avoid misunderstanding. He said the time had arrived when they should strike the balance between achieve- ments like Messines Ridge and the wealth and labour there' by involved. He asked: Has not the time arrived when frontal attacks should give way to other methods? We must enter on a policy of unceasing creation on the most scientific ethods and develop neroplanes in su-h numbers as to destroy enemy
communications and compel surrenders

THE REACE QUESTION.
A Plea for Minimum Terms.
London, Aug. 13. The Westminster Gazette", recommends the Gover ment to consider what it would like to achieve as a result of the war and then, putting aside the prepositions, con- " sider how much that achievement is likely to cost. Sext it should consider not whether the Pope's proposals are inspired by Gerinany, or are necéptable as final teribs it whether they" afford a basis of negotiation with the prospect of securing the necessary minimana required by the Alfies. If this question is answered negatively the Allies should announce what is the necessary miffimum so that the world would not think, as Germany desires the world to think, that we are persisting in the war for aims that we could not and are not avow.
Seperate Peace with Turkey?
Ainsterdam, Aug. 18.
The Handelsblað" learns that discussions have been occurring for some time at Lusauge between representatives of Turkey and the Entente with â view to o separate pence,
THE KAISER'S CHARACter reveaLED,
Lasalon., Aug. 15.
The chief interest hitherto in Mr. Gerard's, revelations in the "Daily Telegraph" is the light they throw on the character of the Kaiser. When Mr. Gerár) protested, against submarinism, the Kaiser always asked why the United States did not break the British blockade. He önce declared that before he would allow his family to starve he would blow up Windsor Castle and the whole English Royal Family, He always wanted the United States to do something against England when Mr. Gerani protested against any. German violation of International Law. On one such occasion Mr. Gerard retorted: "If two men entered my grounds and one stepped on the flower beds and the other killed my sister I would probably first pursue the murderer." The Euiser was unaffected by such an argument.
AUSTRIAN RAID ON VENICE-
