proposals Of Mr.. Lloyd George as mot
taxation, but annihilation."
Andrew Bonar Law, leader Of the
opposition and John Redmond, leader
of the Irish Nationalist, declared
their opposition to the new taxes on
liquors, but promised to facilitate the
passage Of that portion Of the bill
giving the government control over
the sale Of the alcoholic liquors in
areas where munitions Of war are be-
ing manufactured. Right Hon. Hen
derson for the Labor party protested
against the charges that had been
made with regard to the habits Of
the working men and declared that
unless some method were found 20
have the workingmen's side Of the
case stated, it might be difficult for
the labor party to give the govern
ment the solid support which they
had rendered it during the war.
Mr.. Lloyd George in replying said
he could not encourage the idea that
the proposed taxation would be drop
ped but declared he would consider
the suggestion Of discriminating be-
tween raw and mature whiskey. He
denied that the case that had been
made out for interference with the
liquor traffic was charge against the
workers Of the country.

DISCUSS LOSS
OF Gulf LIGHT

Washington, May 4-President Wilson
discussed briefly with his cabinet today
the torpedoing of the American steamer
Gulf Light off the Scilly islands. Mes
sages received from American Consul
Stephens at Plymouth and Consul Cen
eral Skinner at London added little to
the information previously obtained. Both
were instructed today to get statements
from the members of the ships crew
and to gather such evidence of a tech
nical nature concerning the damage done
to the ship as could be learned by an
examination of the vessel.
Officials want to establish beyond doubt
whether the vessel was struck by a tor
pedo or by a mine and if possible the ma
tionaity of the explosive. No proof has
been reported to establish that the sub
marine then sighted committed the at
tack or what it's nationality was. Nor
is there information available as yet to
show whether the Gulf Light flew the
American flag at the time.
Naval officers here do not think it will
be difficult to establish whether the dam
age to the Gulf Light was caused by
torpedo or mine, as the vessel has been
towed into port. Some think it will be
possible to determine from the nature
of the damage the nationality of the ex-
plosive.

ness, that the Japanese reservists have

DR.. Paul S. Reinsch, the United
States minister here, expresses the
opinion that missionaries and other
Americans in the interior are in no
danger whatever. He says that the
Chinese government will preserve or
der in the regions over which the Chi
nese hold control
IN spite of the belief which had pre-
vailed in China for many years that
Japan coveted control of the country,
considerable surprise was caused by the
report that Japan intended to issue an
ultimatum to the government as an out
growth OF China's refusal to concede all
Of Japans demands. 1t is contended that
the Chinese have considered virtually all
the articles contained in the II demands
made upon them. A high official said
yesterday that it was not believed that
the Japanese would dare enforce those
contained in group hVe, which, he said,
Japan had informed Great Britain as
we'll as the other powers We're merely
regarded as desirable.
Action In Debt
Whether President Yuan Shi Kai will
concede all these points seems to be an
open question. Chinese officials whose
views are seriously considered in Yuan
Shi kai's councils express opposite
opinions concerning this question. Some
Of the officials express the fear that the
Japanese military party, which they
profess to believe welcomes the present
crisis, will increase the Japanese de-
mands should a successful campaign fol-
low.
On the other hand, it is considered here
that Yuan Shi Kai faces calamtous con-
sequences in China if he yields to the
Japanese.

FORMER AUGUSTA
BOY MAKES CITY A
HANDSOME PRESENT
w. Herbert Dunton, Well-known
Artist Donates Seven Beauti-
full Oil Paintings of Civil War
Scenes

Postmaster Frederick w. Plaisted
has received in behalf Of the city,
from w. Herbert Dunton, a former
Augusta boy who has made a name
for himself among the foremost illus
traitors of the country, a group Of sew
en- paintings which, it is the desire Of
the artist to present to the town Of
his birth and to have hung in some
suitable place-some public city in
stitution.
These paintings, which are done in
black and white and are beautiful
specimens of the artists skill, are the
originals of some illustrations which
were made by Mr.. Dunton for the
Cosmopolitan Magazine in 1910, illus
trating the life of Gen. Nelson A.
Miles. They are 20x3O inches in size
and are pictures of famous battles OF
the Civil War. All were made under
the personal supervision of Gen.
Miles and are correct in every detail
and SO correctly executed that it al
NEST seems to those who look upon
them that the figures OF the horses
and men in the different paintings are
endowed with life. The pictures are
all suitably framed for canvases OF
that character.
Postmaster Plaisted will retain pos
session of the paintings until it is de.
cided where they shall be hung, It
being the desire of the artist that they
be displayed in one group. Two places
have been suggested as the most ap-
rropriate for the resting place of the
paintings-the Lithgow library and
the Y. M. C. A. building, but that is
a matter yet to be decided.
