GREAT SPEECH BY MR LLOYD GEORGE,
London, June 99.
Mr. Lloyd George, toasting the Dominion Ministers at the liamentary Supper, said they were the leaders of prob ably the most democratic communities in the world. We value the shrewdness, sagacity and courage" which they bring to bear on the problems of the Empire." These periodical conferences with the statesmen of the Dominions were very helpful and stimulating to British Ministers. The conferences were a source of the greatest inspiration and support to those who had borne the stress and strain of war for yearE, Mentioning Sir B L. Borden, Mr. W. M. Hugbes and Mr. Massey, the Premier said their names were as well known and esteemed in the United Kingdom as in their own hands. He regretted that the Premier of South Africa could not be present (hear, bear)either at this Council or previously. Hie absence was a proof of his devotion to duty. Mr. Lloyd' George specially welcomed the great representatives of India. The Mabarajah of Patiala tad worthily followed the great inherited tradition of attachment to the Crown and Empire. and his gallant eople would fight sile by side with Britishers who would welcome them as worthy courades. He alau welcomed Sir C. P. Sinha, who was the first Indian King's Counsel
"All the Dominion guests represent a good deal to us. They represent the consciousness of the Empire and real help a moment of real need" He said the Dominions' representatives came more readily and eagerly into the fight because the old country had got into trouble through cham- pioning the sacred cause of freedom and right. One of the greatest stories for future ages would be how the children, when the motherland was beset with cruel foes, rasned from the ends of the earth to shield her with their sturdy strength. (Choere). The overseas kinsmen must have noticed the special warmth of the greetings and the reception they had got since the war, for the old country was grateful to and proud of them. (Choers). "The guests have come to take part in the great Council of the Empire which is the most wonderful federation of human beings the world has". ever scea".
The Premier said he had the privilege of presiding at the first Imperial War Cabinet where around the table sat representatives of orer four hundred million human beings of most of the great races of the world and most of the great faiths, who had come together to evolve the best methods of establishing right and justice on earth. It was a fine start for the Imperial Conference. The British Empire had sadly, bit- terly, angrily disappointed its foes and hadsurprised its friends. While not deprecating the fleets of France, Italy, Japan and America, Mr. Lloyd George said the history of the sea had not provided anything to compare with the resource, skill and daring of the British Navy and the British mariner, "and the way they fought and conquered the naval sharks infesting the high seas. It was an old story, but what the Empire had done on laad was something new. There had never been anything like it. Britain had an army about the size of the Bulgarian, and the Dominions hardly any. Never- theless the United Kingdom had raised nearly six millions of men for sea and land and Dominions, despite the small- ness of their populations, the nearest of which was thousands of miles distant, raised one million. Germany expected to met raw levies, brave but easily scattered by her nighly trained disciplined legionaries. Instead the Germans en- countered men who had defeated their proudest war- mors in a hundred fights. Taeir achievement in the past three months was a great one. (Cheers). India likewise had disappointed our enemies, who counted upon India absorb- ing the Empire's strength whereas she had added thereto. India had raised voluntarily nearly a million men. "They are about to raise another. (Loud cheers). They have been and are guarding the bridges of the East and will so con- tinue to the end, All this to-night is a striking lesson of the reality of the power of the Empire. What would have hap- pened to the world if the might of the Empire had not been thrown into the conflict? Eussia collapsing, American troops- not in last year, Germany commanding. the seaal interna ional right would have been trampled underfoot. Military despatisin would have triumphed throughout the world. The Kaiser proclaimed to the world that God gave Hmden- burg and Ludendorff to him and Germany; but who gave the British Empire to his enemies? The Kaiser could casily discover if he would only ask some learned divine to tell him. who planted wrath against injustico and abhorrence of in- hamanity and love of freedom in the heart of man. It was those divine passions which ranged the British Empire from north to south, far east to far west in one brotherhood of arms against the deeds and designs of Prussian despotism." Everybody had underestimated the reality and strength of the bonds which unite the British Empire. Germany thought them paper ties which shrivel and scorch into black dust at the first flash of the fires of war. They were mistaken. In life the most real and enduring ties were the invisible ones. It was true we had ties of language, race, blood and common origin, but the most potent of all were the ties of common am, sympathies and ideals. They had stood the strain and drawn us closer together. It ought to be the purpose of all statesmanship to strengthen those bonds, to defend and protect them against severance. All which was best in the world was safer to-day for the existence of the British Empire. He recalled saying at the Imperial Conference-in 1907: The federation of a free commonwealth 18 worth mak- ing sacrifices, tur. Une cever knows when its strength say be essential to the great cause of numaa freedom, and that's priceless." We now knew. (Cheers). "Let the knowledge of the peril averted by the unity of the Empire be our plea for further strengthening it. That's why the Imperial Con ference of 1907 has become the Imperial Cabinet of to day." Cheers). That is why India has been called to our Councils, that is why action has been added to the Council and the Council converted into action, and that is why we specially welcome our guests to-night as forerunners of a succession of counsellors coming from all the Empire which for generations to come will direct the destiny and wield the authority and power of the greatest union of free nations that the world has ever seen." (Loud cheers).
Bir Robert Borden said that the extreme peril had pass eif, thanks to the splendid work of the Navy, but what bad the Dominions done for the supreme importance of sea power? He declared the whole of the Empire's spirit was as unflinching as ever. They were all optimists regarding the war Lecause it was undertaken in a cause which could not be permanently defeated though it might be temporarily defeated Against the serious mistakes which were made was the zinst wonderful and mighty military effort 'ever under- taken and accomplished by any non-military, nation
... Mr. W. M. Hughes declared that the four years of war kad united the British Empire on vital issues a never before They were all weary and warworn, nevertheless they' were not only resolved to conquer, but firmly assured of últimate victory and determined to have no peace which did not rest upon an enduring foundation of justice and liberty, The Dominions, excluding india, had placed in the Feld over a million men whose deeds spoke for themselves To-day the mother country and the Dominions

ORBAT SPEECH BY MR. LLOYD GEORGE. Mr. Massey, following Mr. Haghes referred to the work of the Imperial Conference. They were daily, engaged in arranging a form of representatiga for the people of the Dominions, representations which would continue to improve.. and develop for many centuries hence. He added, that it was the special duty of public inen to encourage British senti ments and also affirmed that the staying power of Britain was equal if not superior to Germany's.
THE AUSTRIAN OFFENSIVE.
Italy's Reserves hardly Touch.
Kome, June 20 Signor Orlando, talking to Deputies on Friday morning, said the line could have been established on Thursday but the position of the Austrians was so dangerous that they were obliged to continue their attacks in the hope of Freeing themselves of the proximity of the Piave, whose flooding prevented supplies. Signor Orlando added that the Italians bad hardly touched their rese) 785,
Premier Orlando told Parliament that in the evening the situation was generally unchanged and there was no infantry fighting.
Austrian Reports
London, June 21.
A wireless Austrian official message says: The enemy on the 20th. vainly made an effort of undiminished violence to re-capture the positions we won westward of the Piave The struggle for Montello increased in violence, wo destroy- ing wave after ware of the enemy's storm troops in hand-to- hand fighting on a twelve kilometre front. The Italians are throwing in reserve after reserve. We prisonered 3,200 on the 18th. on Montello alone.
A later wireless Austrian official message says: We ro pulsed Italian attacks on Montello and westward of Sandona The prisoners now number forty thousand, including a few Czecho-Slovak legionaries, who were immediately subjected to the treatment prescribed by martial law.
Enemy's Offensive Stayed
London, June 2 An Italian official message states: The enemy's offensive has not been renewed since Thursday evening. We san- guinarily repulsed a strong local attack in the direction of Losson. The enemy concentrated a violent fire on Montello 2nd the Grappa region. We crusbed subsequent infantry advantcs We again enlarged the bridgehead of Cavazuc- cherina, prisonering 150. We penetrated a post on the Asiago Platean and captured the garrison. We brought down ten enemy aeroplanes.
THE IRISH QUESTION.
In view of Lord Curzon's speech Mr. Dillon says the
London, June 22. Nationalists will shortly return to Westminister. Sergeant Sullivan, Sir Maurice Dockrell, and Mr. Hedry McLaughlin will explain why Mr. Gwynne was appointed to the Irish Recruit- ing Council Lord French in a message to the Council says the readiness and goodwill with which they responded to the invitation confirms his unfailing belief in his country- men's sympathy with the cause for which the Allies are fighting. The task they have undertaken will bring joy to many an old comrade in the fold where Irish regiments" are looking to the boys at home to maintain the great tradition of a fighting race.
ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
1
London, June 22. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reports: We-prisonered & few and inflicted casualties in raids and patrols in the Villers-Bretonneux and Strazeelo sectors. In a raid on the night of the 20th northward of the Scarpe Scottish troops penetrated the German trenches, indicting heavy casualties. The enemy's garrison was captured with a number of prison- ers and we destroyed a number of dugouts and took several machine guns. Low clouds and rain greatly hampered flying on the 90th. One enemy machine was brought down and one British machine is missing.
A wireless German official message says the enemy kept up violent reconnoitering thrusts on the whole of Prince Rup precht's front and were everywhere repulsed Hospital buildings in the Veale Valley, have twice recently been the objective of enemy aircraft
An American official message of the 21st says: Nerta westward of Chateau Thierry we advanced the line and improved our positions there.
Reuter's correspondent with the American Army saya that the Americans by a series of small but brilliant assaults in the past two days have straightened a few small salients. in Belleau wood and north-west of Chateau Thierry. They drove back the Germans over a kilometre in one place.
