LLOYD GEORGE’S FAITH IN FINAL OUTCOME IS FIRM "Single Front, Single Army, Single j Nation, Is Program Requisite for Victory.” i Paris.—“A single front, a single ' army, a single nation—that Is the pro gram requisite for future victory.” said Premier Painleve at a luncheon fl honor of David Lloyd George, the i ^ British prime minister, who has jiist returned from the Italian war zone, and Signor Barenini, Italian minister Of education, ‘Tf after 40 months of r, after all the lessons the war was ; taught us, the allies were not capable | of that sacred international union, [ I then in spite of their sacrifices they ^ would not be worthy of victory.” j In discussing the manner of accom-1 ' pHshment of this fusion, to which the ! [ allies have long aspired, M. Painleve I ‘^ald^ j "The enemies' alliance realised j inity of effort by brutal discipline, I me of the peoples among them bar- J ng mastered the others and rendered ! hem serviceable. But we are free icoples. We do not admit of subjec- lon to other peoples in time of war. That Independence is at the same Ime a source of strength and weak- of strength because of their ca- >acity for resistance which is uu* nown to subject peoples, and weak- ess because It renders more dlSlcult D-ordinatlon of military operations, o reconcile this independence with ^e need for unity of direction which b required to achieve an efficacious rar policy will be the work of the )ter-allled war committee or of the iperior war council just created by te allies." Premier Lloyd George, alluding to -centralized direction of the allied forts, said: "Unfortunately we did not have ne to consult the United States or issia before creating this council. Italian disaster necessitated ac- n without delay to repair It. "But, in order to assure the com- I ete success of this great experiment I ilch I believe Is essential to the vic tory of our cause, it will be necessary iat all our great allies be repre- tinted in the deilberationff. * f.hftt. we shall nht ■ Washington.—President Wilson fOn , mally put the new machinery for the I carrying the selective draft bill into ; operation with the publication of the j foreword he has written to the regula- I Ions under which the second call will I be made.
