MR LLOYD GEORGE

ENTHUSIASM AT TORONTO. MESSAGE ON EMPIRE UNITY. Pr«*» Association—By Telegraph—Copyrlgm OTTAWA, October 11. (Received Oct. 11, at 10.10 p.m.) Through cheering crowds at Toronto Mr Lloyd George went to the City Hall. He spoke through a megaphone, but his voice was nearly inaudible. Later a mass meeting heard his message on Empire unity—“So that when the War-cry goes up Britain may be strong enough to cry halt.” He followed the safhe lilies as in his previous speeches. His voice was noticeably hoarse, and the back rows scarcely heard him. Dame Clara Butt sang the National Anthem. Mr Lloyd George will proceed to Winnipeg next week after resting at Niagara Falls.—A. and N.Z. Cable. FETTERS OF 5 UTILITY. HOW BRITAIN IS BOUND. LONDON, October 2. Mr Lloyd George, speaking as the guest of the American Society, at a luncheon in his honour, said that he was glad he was going on a lecturing tour to America, whose problems were similar to Britain's. He described Europe as “like iNehemiah rebuilding his shattered habitation, with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other.” Be was interested to see, he said, how America was progressing, by using Doth hands. “She is a miracle to the Western world, as she is unfettered by the antiquated futilities which are hampering Britain, who is entangled at every step in Europe by old feuds and new fears.'
