BRITAIN'S PRESERVES OF MUNITIONS.

GERMANS DRIVEN UNDER-

GROUND

(Aus. and N.Z. Assn. ond Renter.) (Received July .).. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 30. . Mr Lloyd 'George, speaking at Dundee, said-: "We now possess such ■a reserve'bf munitions that whatever the 'German. submarine does it cannot deprive us of .he necessary stocks for successfully prosecuting the war. We 'have driven Germany's 'great army underground,, which is the beginning of the end, for it means Chat we are pounding a sense of inferiority into every pore of the German military mind. Can you imagine the Kaiser before the war in a swagger speech to the Prussian Guard saying: 'My gallant Avarri'ors, descendants of the men of Frederick, when the time conies again to meet . the foes of the .Fatherland I will see that deep caverns are made to -hide you from your enemies, especially from the contemptible British Army; which are seeking your lives. I will do more. If by some diabolical machinery he those shelters, you shall "behind "have other, shelters "to which you cannot take your suns. Just leave them behind'T These are raljblt tactics, "but it is good for the war as well as after the war that virtue and 'humility are being tausdit the Prussians with a fierce relentless lash:" •■..■'..

TVT.T Lloyd George emphasised the need for unity at "home. We mustbear any sacrifice to assist the gallant fighters. We. ought willingly to suffer 'limitations and -restrictions. ''"Take riorse-racing,"' lie said. "It is entirely a 'matter of the extent to which it . interferes with war activities, and if this principle is apolied to drink you will find that it will wor kail rignt.'''' Referring to profiteering, he said that it was unfair in peace time, and an outrage in war time.
