GREAT BRITAIN.

WAR LOAN OVERSUBSCRIBED. ;: EVERYONE HELPS BY TAXES. ABOUT SPIES TN BRITAIN. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, November 19. Mr Lloyd George, referring to the proposed taxation in wartime, said that the time for national sacrifice had come for those who were unable to give their Eves and were anxious to do something. He -would be unpardonably blundering unless he took the earliest opportunity to enable people to contribute to carrying on a war which involved th,e honour and life of their country. Besides the beer duty, he was devoting attention, to the elusive teetotaller, who was as difficult to catch as the Emden, but he thought he had got him by taxing tea. Britain drank more tea than any country except Australia-«jid New Zealand. It was unnecessary to appeal for patriotic support for the war loan. There would be no more loose and malevolent talk with regard to the decay and downfall of the British Empire. Her Victory would surpass even the great achievements of the past.

The Financial News says that the loan j was over-subscribed at noon yesterday. ] There'was a sharp debate in the House rf Lords on the Home Office slackness respecting spies. Lord Londonderry, during an angry ipeech, said he had every ground for believing in the signalling and espionage on the; north-east coast. As Lord-Lieuten-mt' of Durham he intended to instruct magistrates to arrest spies, and if guilty to shoot them.
