PREDICTS ANARCHY
 DESTROY ENGLAND
Lord Loreburn Criticises British Cab- inet for its Handling of the
 War and Wants Peace.

LONDON, Nov. 9.--Debating the war question before the House of Lords yesterday, Lord Loreburn de- clared that Great Britain must soon bring the war to close and predict ed that anarchy will rule in England if the war continues another six months. Conscription, he believed, would hasten the downfall of the na- tion by internal disruption.
 Lord Loreburn attacked the Brit ish censorship and asserted that doc various fronts had been given to the British people when they were given any news. He declared that the Ger man reports were more trustworthy than the reports permitted by the war office to be printed in the British press. All the people of England knew was that they had been send ing their sons across the channel in a steady stream since the beginning of the war and that none had return ed save as cripples.
 Lord Loreburn then turned his at tention to the latest note sent the British government by President Will son regarding the British interfer- ence of American commerce with the European nations with which Great Britain is at war. He said he was sur prised and indignant at the phrasee ology of Secretary Lansing's note but refrained from criticism as he had no wish to embarrass the British for eign office in it's dealings with the United States.

Judge Bunnell Has "a Heart ''

Judge Bunnell Has "a Heart"
 In the history of courts it has not
 been uncommon for judges to state
 that they were making decisions contrary to the dictates of their hearts, although such incidents are
 not frequent, but Judge Bunnell, of
 Fairbanks, recently handed down
 such a decision. c. B. Sweeney, a
 rancher near Fairbanks, had lived on a homestead since 1904 until last spring when B. w. Johnson secured a timber permit covering 8 portion of the land. In rendering his decision the court said: "It seems like a case where the court cannot make the kind of a decision it would like to. I think everyone feels that Sweeney has entered the ground in good faith. He has lived there for ten or twelve years. There can be no question as to his occupation of the land. In hearing the case the court informed the attorneys for the defense that he was dead set against them in sentiment" Judge Bunnell then went on to explain that if there was any law to be found where by the timber permit could be set aside he would do SO, but no way could be found.
