London, Dec. 2. Germany must
pny a war Indemnity up to her capac
ity. Premier Lloyd Georgo announced
In nn address at Nowcnstlc-on-Tync.
At tho same time Mr. Lloyd Georgo de
clared there would be u "sternly just
peuce."
As to indemnities, the prime minis
ter sold: "The principle always 'ios
been that the loser must pay. That' Is
tho principle wc should now proceed
upon regarding Germany. She must
puy tho cost up to her enpacity."
Tho premier ludlcnted that he favors
punishment for tho kutser when ho
said :
"We should so act now thnt men In
tho future, when they uro tempted to
follow the example of the German rul
ers, would know what Is awaiting them
in tho end."

"responsibility for tho war," he wns
Interrupted by cries of: "Tho kaiser,
the kaiser," nnd when ho referred to
the violations of International law
there were shouts of: "Hang the kai
ser I Shoot him!" followed by cheers.
Mr. Lloyd George continued : "Is no
body to bo punished for tho crimes of
tho war? I mean to see that the men J
who mistreated our prisoners shall bo
mudo responsible. But I do not wunt
when the war is over to pursue any
policy of vengeance."
Tho premier declared that the Gor
man sumbnrlnc ptrntcs must recelvo
punishment for their crimes, adding: '
"As to tho culpability of the nuthors
of tho war, wo inenn to make an In
vestigation, und It will be conducted
In u manner perfectly fair, but stern.
It will go to the llnnl reckoning; too. i
"Whoever devastated tho lands of
another ought to be responsible. If
none Is' made responsible for the war
which hns taken the lives of millions,
theru Is ono Justice for tho poor and
wretched criminal and
another for ,
kings and emperors."
"In every court of Justlco In the

"the party that has Inst bears the cost
