Country House of British
Ambassador of Exche-
quer Demolished.
LAY BLAM ON WOMAN.
Strns sfure unsccupied 1: The Time
Bomb Had Been Placed in Front
Room Which Failed TO Explode.

London, Feb. 19.-Chancellor of the
Exchequer David Lloyd d-George's
country residence at Walton -on-the-
hill was wrecked by d bomb explosion
early today and detectives from Scot
land Yard are convinced thai the out
rage was perpetrated by suffragettes.
The bomb was planted in the servants
room and the explosion shattered the
walls on that side Of the house, blew
out all the windows III The building and
broke many of the joists supporting
the floors above and below.
The house was new and unoccupied.
When the workmen arrived today
they found the house nearly COM
p!ete wreck. In one of the front rooms
they discovered another bomb that
had not exploded.
The fact that the house was unoc-
cupied and the presence Of fresh auto
mobile tracks in the road and drive
way, convinced the detectives that
suffragettes had planned the explosion
to destroy property, knowing there
was no damage to human life in the
exploit.
The unexploded bomb was composed
of ten-pound can of black powder to
be ignited by short candle set in
shavings soaked with kerosene. The
candle was supposed to burn down un-
til it's fame touched the shavings
which, flaming up, would reach the
powder The candle was blown out by
the first explosion before it reached
the shavings. Remnants of the ex-
ploded bomb proved that it was OF
similar "home- made" construction.
Further indications that the eXplos-
sion was the work of women were
found in two broken hat pins on the
floor of the front room.
The house was so badly damaged
that it is believed it will have to be en-
Etirely constructed. L9oyd-George
is in the South of France and ha:
been notified by wire.
The country residence was of thu
most up date construction and es
pecially designed for weekend parties
1t was reported that several well
known sufragettes had been seen re

GEORGE WASHINGTON GUSTS LEE.

Borne to the strains ct the dead march,
Slowly the hero goes
On to the tomb's deep quiet,
On to his last repose,
Proud Of the cause he honored,@
True to the South's great trust,
Loved when he lived among us,
Loved, now returned to dust.
Sired of the great war chieftain,
First at the front was he,
Brave at the South's reverses
Calm in her victory,
Lovingly watch him lowered
To 1est meath the spreading trees,
Pray do mot spare in your tribute
To the last of the fighting Lees.
Lift high your head, Virginia,
SIN File thro' your binding tears,
Give thanks to the Great Commander
Fdr this life that has seen the years
Bring9 to the South redemption,
After the war cloud passed,
Honor the grand old lea der,
Faithful and true to the last.

and, accustomed as she was to the old

he could not possibly be one of its

he was suspicious on that ground

was no accent at all that Sallie could

man upstairs. he nevertheless in
spired in that breast most unholy

housemaid pursuing the cat with the
broom.
Mr.. Hand was not greatly troubled
by Sallie's tendency to sweep him out
OF the way, but whenever he took any
notice of her he was more than a
match for her. On the afternoon fol-
lowing Agatha's visit to Mrs. Stoddard,
he appeared to show some slight OBJ

Are you his mouthpiece?" said Aga

for her scorn by Mrs. Stoddard's look.
Her eyes rested on Agatha's face with

minute up into the vivid face bending
over hers. while her spirit. even as
Agatha's had done, pierced the hedge
which separated them, and compre-
hended something of the goodness in
the others soul. Finally she laid her
other hand over Agatha's, enclosing
It In a strong clasp. Then, with a
certain pathetic pride in her submis-
sion. she said:

on here, but the strain of the inter
view was beginning to count She
sank down in the chair that Mrs. Stod-

their meeting. and covered her eyes
with one hand. The elder woman kept
the other.

she said, I'VE will ask Gods help. The
prayer of faith shall heal the sick"
Then falling to her knees by Agatha's
side. with rapt. lifted face and closed
eyes, she made her confession and her
petition to the Lord. Her ringing voice
