Restored and C-ompensaUon be
Granted—Terms Refined
LONDON. Dec. 20.—The restora
tion of the territories taken by the
enemy, together with compensation
is demanded by Lloyd George as the
basis for peace. He explained the
aims of the government, in the House
of Commons today, saying that the
Germans had been partially success
ful at first owing to the surprise of
their stuck, but this was now rapidly
being evened up by the late successes
of the allied forces. He said that Ger
many has lost hundreds of thousands
of prisoners and valuable positions,
w'lth hundreds of guns; that the mar
gin of 108868 of the alllies at sea was
narrowing; the sinking of subma
rines by the allied vessels was stead
ily increasing, therefore the allies
had little to complain of in thp pro
gress of the war. He believed that
Germany was weakening and that
peace should only come on terms dic
tated by the Entente Powers.

Don’t Flatter Yourealf
“Somehow 1 was always different
frapi other people,” is a common say
ing among men, even among those
wpo lay .no,claim tp any special vir
tue. Indeed, the statement is often
made by .those who, pretend to be
ashamed of their vices, but who are
really almost proud of them. To feel
like that and to admit it is only a
confession of egotism common to hu
manity! Whoever you are, you are
only different frpm others in person
ality. You belong to the race and
probably are neither better nor worse
than any one of the vast majority.
Everybody thinks that he is different
from all the rest. He ain’t!

stopped by two men who said they
could not leave the vessel until a
search had been made.
One of the men stood guard while
his companion went through the boat.
Two suit cases and two gunny sacks
filled with liquor were found. During
the search every possible argument
pras used without avail on the dry
