AMERICAN GAVE OUT NEWS.
News of the battle was received in

nander of the Military zone Of the
border. For some reason Gen Gonzales
kept the story secret until late in the
afternoon when an American, J. c.
/ Hubble, returning TO the border from
the Interior, brought to Fl Paso the
news that he had seen numbers of
Mexieans dead along the Mexican
+ CeutraI Railroad tracks at Villa Anu

been an encounter
Gen. Gonzales first step after con-
firming the news was 10 issue a state

American troops fired first on the
Nexicans, and that their shots were
directed at courier who had Just
presented to them request that they
retire
American army officers declared abb
solute disbelief tonight in Gen Con
zaIes' assertions. The opinions was
expressed that if the Americans fired
on the Mexicans they did so because
it was necessary in order to insure
their own safety.

Editor Of The Washington Herald-In
your Sunday edition of December 10. 1916.
there appears . letter from Milton d.
Smith. president of the Chauffeurs' A.
ISOLATION. This letter was addressed to
the Auto Editor" but since we pedes-
trians have no special representative to
look after our interests, we must speak
for ourselves.
The Auto Editor prefaces the above
letter by saying that the Chaufieurs' As
sociation has for one Of its objects the
observing Of all the rules of society. This
sounds good, and It would be fine II the
association would obey one regulation
the speed law. II the police would en-
force the regulations to the letter for n
single day. how many chauffeurs in the
District Of Columbia would go to Police
Court for exceeding the speed limit?
The word chauffeur is taken from the
French; 1t literally means a stoker. His
tortcally, 1t was applied to bands of brig
ands who in r7ss pillaged, burned and
killed. They were called chauffeurs be-
cause they used to burn the feet of their
victims to extort money.
When one reflects over the numbers Of
people that have been killed by "chauf-
feus" by their reckless driving and utter
disregard Tor police regulations, limiting g
the speed Of automobiles, it Ia easy to see
why the word "chauffeurs' was selected
to designate one who operates a motor
vehicle for pay.
II Mr.. Smith and all the other members
Of his association are in favor Of safety
first" as he claims. 1t can be secured
absolutely by keeping automobiles with
IN the speed limits.

MRS. THOMPSON'S JEWELS
NOT LOST AT SHOREHAM

The mystery in connection with the
loss Of two valuable emerald rings,
the property Of Mrs. w. 3. Thompson,
society woman of New York and
Washington, does not clear up rapidly.
Through a mistake The Washington
Herald stated yesterday that the
trinkets were lost at the Shoreham
Hotel, where Mrs. Thompson had been
a guest, but the management of the
hotel last night denied that the rings
were lost at the establishment Local
authorities are at a loss to tell Just
where they were first lost track Of
whether here in the city. on the train
to New York, or in the Metropolis
itself.
A handsome reward awaits the find
er, according to police headquarters.
The loss of these Jewels has been
widely advertised. but so far they
seem to be just as elusive as ever.

CHAMPIONS LLOYD GEORGE.
Take. Issue win. Statements Made
by George Miner.

Editor The washington Herald: I
was painfully shocked In reading the
article by George Miner in Tuesdays
Herald about Lloyd George. the new
British Premier. The more 80 a. the
attack ON the famous wslshman ap-
being nothing to indicate any motive
behind It. To take up some Of the
statements in the order In which they
appear in the article, Mr.. Miner says:
Even no more THAI nve or six years
ago few Englishmen of education took
Lloyd George seriously. He was gem
orally regarded as a vulgar mounte-
bank and charlatan. Only the illit-
crate and unemployed applauded him.
He was the champion of the dis
gruntled and the worthless" etc
As q matter Of fact, Lloyd George
was firmly established as one OF the
leaders in British politics considerably
more than ten years ago. He was ap-
pointed president of the Board Of
Trade in 1905, and chancellor Of the
exchequer in 1908. the latter cabinet
office ranking next in Importance after
the premier and the foreign secretary.
One can hardly imagine an English oab-
met officer of several years standing
being generally regarded as Q vulgar
|mountebank and charlatan.
A little later, referring to his
speeches and start in life. the article saysi
His language was pure billingsgate
and the epithets he applied to the men
he attacked were frequently disgusting,
profAne or obscene. He start
ed as a little petttfoggtng lawyer In
Wales"
I used to live in the same part OF
Wales as Lloyd George, and have
heard him speak. He always gave me
tho impression Of being a forceful and
high-minded reformer. As to his early
career. 1t Is true that he started a.
a poor young lawyer. but have not
many famous Americans abraham
Lincoln. for instance) started life In
the same way? Furthermore. he was
never q ''pettifogEer." Always a man Of
the people and an advanced liberal In poll
tics. Lloyd George won his way into
Parliament by defeating his reactionary
opponent IN the election of 1890 He rep
resents a Welsh community Of small
towns whore the people generally are
deeply religious and where pure b1-
lingsgate," which means foul and tnde-
cent language, would not be tolerated IN
any candidate for public ONCE.
The advanced liberals in England have
about the same relation to the other DO
htical parties as the Progressives do In
the United States. and the parallel also
extends to the respective leaders, Lloyd
George and Theodore Roosevelt, who, to
my mind, are strikingiy similar In their
personal characteristics. Each has won
his way to the highest r1Ing Of the politi-
cal ladder by sheer merit and force Of
character; each Is the idol OF the people
because OF the sincerity and directness Of
their methods; each uses the same force

tul. at times picturesque. language, but

There Ia, possibly, a semblance Of truth
In some Of Mr.. Miners statements. am
claiming that Lloyd George is q paragon
Of virtue. No doubt he has his faults in
common with all men. but there are few
in public life who do not occasionally lay
themselves open to criticism This ten
dency may be considered as especially
applicable to the British, who take their
politics very seriously. and, in conse-
Quence, during political campaigns feel
ing runs high and the polite amenities Of
ordinary life are often forgotten in the
heat Of the struggle. But Mr.. Miners
remarks far exceed the scope of honest
criticism, and as an admirer and former
compatriot Of the Welsh statesman I
strongly resent the besmirching character
Of the extracts have alluded to. I trust
that you WIN zee Mt 10 publish this In
fairness to Mr.. Lloyd George.
