LONDON, May 24.
Mr. Lloyd George, on receiving the Freedom of the City of Edinburgh, was neronded an ovation. In the course of a speach, the Prime Minister reviewed the situation of the war.
He said that the coming battle would be the greatest ever fangth on earth, pou which depended greater conse uences for the human race than any battle fought. He was glad to think they bad at the bend of the forces of freedom a man of Generalissimo Foeb's gen. (Cheers).
The Prime Minister emphasised that everything must be done to keep up the spirit, morale, determination and unity of the people as long as the arruggle continued. He remarked that the lesson of Russia was to trust not

The Fremier reminded his audience that since the Government took office it had to deal with two adverse circum- stances, namely, the collapse of Russia and unrestricted submarine warfare, but the brave men of the Navy and of the Mercantile Marine had at last, thank God, conquered these pests.

It was the failure of the submarine that had accounted for the present offensive to which the enemy bad been driven as a last resoures. The Allies had to bridge the chasm between the collapse of assis and the coming in of Americs- yawning, terrifying golf whose spans were being built under a very heavy fire. We were on the eve of a very great attack. No man ought to boast about the outcome hut those who knew best were full of confidence about the result.

LATIE. Speaking subsequently at á luncheon. the Premier referred to the brilliant achievements of the Scottish Divisions in battle. I wished he could say of Ireland what could be said of Scotland. Irishmen had fought brilliantly, as always, but the vast majority of the manhood of Ireland, unfortunately, held alocf. It was not relevant to say Eng- land had treated that country badly in the dim part. This was not England's struggle it was Belgium's, Serbia's, Poland's, and the small Catholic Nation- alities in the Austrian Empire. It was the struggle of France, the truest, most loyal and mes: steadfast friend that Ireland ever had. He was sorry to 337 that Ireland not merely walked, but many Irishmen seemd to have been swayed by that Military Autocracy,ce, making the ration five ounces. which oppressed small nations.
