BRITAIN AND THE WAR
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Australian & N.Z. Cabl*> Association). LONDON, Sept. 9. Mr Lloyd George, acknowledging the freedom of Breggn, raid : "I do not like tho epidemic of the depreciation of British strength that is sweeping over the Continent. But for Britain's intervention in the war, they would have, been vassal slates, because Britain is the only country that does not swagger and boast that she won. Other nations forget what she did. I was shocked by M. Poincare's recent speech, suggesting that but for Prance, Germany would have completely wiped out Britain. Would her army have swum across? Britain cqmppecf'n gigantic army to save Franco and Belgium from complete annihilation. Britain is not so impotent as our continental friends imagine."
