PREMIER'S REPLY TO GERMAN CHANCELLOR.

Great Speech in the Queen's Fiall.

London, July 1, Speaking at the Beigian Independence Day feast at Queen's Hail, London, Mr. Lloyd tvorge said that Belgium for three years had suffered humiliation, servitude and anxie ty, but at the end Belgium would be greater than ever. Her deliverance was surely coming-(Loud applause)--and Franco and Great Britain, and Civilisation hold that when it does come it must be complete. (Cheers). Turning to the Ger man Chancellor's speech he asked what boge of an honour- able peace it contained! It was dexterous, facing all ways. It was the speech of a man awaiting the military issue. Let the Allies bear that in mind. (Hear, hour). There were phrases in the speech that the German military power will understand, phrases about the making of the frontiers of Germany secure. That phrase apßezed Alsace and Lor 'raine and had drenched Europe with blood since 1914 That pbrasc, if they dare, will annex Belgium, and Courland and again precipitate Europe it a welter of blood within a generation unless it is wiped out on the battlefields of.. Europe.

The speech contained phrases for democratic minds. For example members of the Reichstag are to get offices" but will not be ministers, only clerks. (Laughter). After saying that on the whole the Chancellor's speech meant that the military party had won at the moment he pre- ceeded to reaffirm that the form of Germany's Government is Germany's own affair, but what manter of Government we can trust to make peace with was our business. (Hear, bear). Democracy is in itself a guarantee of ponos and if you cannot get it in Goriany then we must secure other guarantees as a substitute. The Chancellor's speech showed that Germany for the moment elected for wat

PREMIER'S REPLY TO GERMAN CHANCELLOR.

Its plurasoology was full of menses to Belgium It makes the German frontier secure, that is it takes Metz and Strassbürg and will take Liege and control aufwerp in order to secure German economic interests. The determ tion of the Allies is that Belgium must be restored as a tres and independent people (Lond cheers)--zot "as a protector- ate, its sceptre, must be Belgiau, as sword must be Belgian, ita- scabbāru must be Belgian, its soul must be Belgium. (Loud cheers). I have read Dr. Michael' speech as wy duty unce, twice, thrice, to see anyting from which 1 coula hope to vnd thus bloody struggle and 1 see in it a indepmacuee of Beigra, a suan democracy of Gerus, en sham peace for Europe, and I say Europe has not sacII- feed mitions of her galtant sons tu re-establish soil conse- cisted by their blood as a mere sanctuary for stain. (Luod cheers).

Dr. Michaelis tries to dope his people with illusions. Ger- many will fit that these, he others, will be dupelled. "The barrassing, ax weeks," that's gone. (Laughtery, the en Curvention of the blockade by opening the road to Baghuan, that's gone, Zepp rands, where are they now? It is Turks and

Although our apprenensions were great tur the summer months we gradually decreased the losses for example comparing the three weeks of July with the cor- responding period of Apru wo and not lose palf the number pt ships. (Loud cheers). That is not all. We will turn out in 1917 four tunes the number of sings as in 1916. (Cheers). In the last two months of 1917 we will turn out ad many ships as we did during the whole of last year; (Loud cheers). I want to give those figures to the Chaocviler so as to help him to give a right interpretation to his own statement. (Loud laughter)., we will curn out in 1915 six times more than in 1916. (Cheers). We are a slow people, not quick in taking up, but rather difficult to beat when we begin.... The Germans underrated cür zutelugence, industry and de- termination, but they will starve us--they have said so. (Laughter). I am sorry, but as Premier I must again teil the truth: Far from starving us, owing to the exertions of the Food Controller, and the shipping Controler the food supply for 1917-1918 on the basis of present consumption is secured. (Load cheers). We are arranging a programmu,, of cultivation that will make 1918 secure even 11 te losses are increased. I do not want the Germans to lurbour delusions that they are going to put us out of this sight till liberty has been re-established throughout the world.

If Britain," while maintaining, échapping and ever building up equipment for an army of millions, and while maintain. ing the largest navy in the world, can organise herself in the third year of an exhausting war to turn out millions of tons of new shipping, is America, with twice our population and ecxiless natural resource, going be beaten for the lack of effort. I predict that if Dr. Michaelis survivor be will forma a different opinion and make a different speech and that

for. A great GermMEKA newspaper the other day said Germany was ighting for, freedom and the in- dependence of the Fatherland. That was never true and is. less true to-day than ever. The freer Germany is the better we like it. Her rulers not the Allies are the enemies of the freedom of Germany? We could make prace with a tree Germany but we cannet with a Germany dominated by anto cracy. (Cheers). Since the Russian revolution on the Bastian offer to concede the independence of nations under the Russian flag the last shadow of pretext of Germany. fighting for freedom has vanished. It is now a struggle between a group of democratic freemen and a group of nations governed by military autocracy. That is the whole thing. The Premier. concluded: There has been a more significant chang's an- nounced a few hours ago than the substitution of Dr. Michae lis for. Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg namely that the brillisat young Bussian stateemar, the outstanding figure of the revolution, the man whose inspira ion regenerated and reviv- ed Russian inilitary power, has aucceeded to the leadership of the Russian democracy. (Cheers). In the coming great struggles in "the east and west every German soldier must know in his heart that if he falls-te is dying for military autocracy.
