Intense Interest in London as to the New Premier's Announcement of Poliry. Loudon, Dec. I'd.?Premier Lloyd < leorge said iu the house of commons today that it was felt that they should know before entering negotiations that Germany was prepared to acred to the only terms whereon it was possible for inravr IU it uuiuiuni iinu ujauuaiiii:\i m Kuroiie. The Premier sniil that without reparation i*?ace would be imitossihle. Mr. Lloyd George .said there were 110 proj>osals for peace. To enter proposals of which they had 110 knowledge was to put their heads into a noose with the roi>e end in the hands of Germany. Much as they longed for it, the premier added, the central powers' note and the speech preceding it afforded small encourgement and hope for an honorable and lasting peace. Mr. Lloyd George said: "Our answer will be given in full accord with our allies. Each of the allies has separately and independently arrived at the same conclusion. I am glad of the first answer given by France and Uussia. Mr T.lnvil Owirco <nw1 tlu? would Insist that the only end of the war must be complete guarantee against Prussian militarism disturbing the i>eace of Europe. The formal reply of the allies, the premier announced, will be given in the course of a few days. The premier said. "We will await until we hear what terms and guarantees there are surer than those which Germany broke. Meanwhile we put our trust in our unbroken army." After declaring that i>eace without reparation was impossible, the premier asked whether "all the outrages on land and sea" had l>een liquidated by a few pious prhases about humanity. During the war, the premier said, shipping would be nationalized in a _ true, Dealing with the war situation, the premier said he had to paint a stem, but not gloomy picture. The Roumanian blunder was an unfortunate one. but at the worst it only prolonged the war, and could not affect it. It might have a salutory effect, he continued, in calling the attention of the allies to obvious defects of organization. To prevent the Roumanian situation from becoming worse they had taken strong action. In Greece they were taking m> risks. They hail decided to recognize the agents of former Premier Venizlous. The speech of Chancellor von Bethmanu-Hoilweg before the German reichstag was characterized hy Mr. Lloyd George as constituting in substance a denial of the only terms upon which peace was i>ossible. Premier Lloyd George said the liiue ha?l come when the dominions should be consulted more formally as to the war. An imperial conference would be summoned at an early day to discuss vital questions. The premier said it was proper to appoint a director of natonal service and that all industries and services would be scheduled as essential or non-essential to the war. _ Shaking of the western front Mr. Lloyd George referred to the growth of the British armies there and continued : "I an? convince' iltimate victory " sure of the nation that shows rue same spirit of endurance and readiness to learn as the mud-stiued armies at the front." Turning to the more purely political of the domestic problems before the new minsstry, Mr. Lloyd George said: "We are enxious to avoid all controversal questious. The functions of the premier and leader of the house of the house of commons have been separated because it was believed the double tasks were toy much for one man. The orgainzatiun of the new cabinet is best adapted for the purpose of war. In war you want prompt decision, and the allies have suffered disaster after disaster from tardiness of decision." London, Dec. 10.?The lirst appearance of David Lloyd George before the houpe of commons as premier was made today in circumstances seldom if ever faced by a new holder of the office. Even if the peace proposals of the central powers had not intervened his statement of the i>olicy of his government. which was chosen iu reply to a public demand for more vigorous prosecution of the war, would have marked au imi?ortaut step in the world eon ilicL The peace note, however, vshifted the interest and every corner of the world awaited the announcement as to the UrltLsh attitude .toward the move of the conral powers.
