Lloyd Georges Speech
Disappointing to Berlin

Berlin, Dec. 22.-The Vorwaerts.
which was one of the first newspapers
in Germany to talk Of peace, expressed
disappointment over the speech Of
Premier David Lloyd George.
The paper cites passages in the
speech from which it claims the only
logical inference is that, firstly, the
entente refuses to make peace until it
can do SO upon the ruins OF Germany
military power: secondly, the entente,
because Germany breaks treaties, will
make no treaty with Germany at all
but will itself take substantial guar
antees by force of arms; thirdly, that
Germany must swallow the entente's
terms whole and unseen before Lloyd
George will condescend to negotiate.
Lloyd George, says the Vorwaerts,
speaks like a judge in robes thunder
ing a sentence against poor pris-
oner. 1t also compares him to SUI

An Airship Operated BY
Bellows and Loadstones

It is probable that Adam or, il you
prefer. the first ape who learned to
walk like a man-envied the birds
and sought to emulate them. The
aeroplanes and dirigibles Of to-day
are the fruitage of thousands Of years
Of thinking and dreaming, just two
centuries ago to-day Father Bartho-
lomew Laurent, a Portuguese priest,
attempted to make a flight in a
"dirigible'' which was perhaps the
most ridiculous Of all the early at
tempts at the navigation Of the air.
Father Laurent, who had spent many
years as a missionary in Brazil, firm
| iy believed that he had solved the
problem that had baffied human in
genuity for so long, and invited King
John v. and his court to witness his
fight. In spite of all efforts his ma
chine would not leave the ground
and small wonder. for the inventive
priest depended for motive power en-
sails, leadstones, bellows and beads!
An ancient print shows Father
Laurent's flying ship to have the
head of a bird at the prov, and a
stern somewhat like birds tail, ito
govern the ship, that she may not
run at random The sails were
stretched from prov to stern. At
each end were two wings (which
keep the ship upright" In the body
of the ship were two loadstones, to
draw the ship after them" Above
the passengers was stretched can
opy, ION which are fastened a good
number Of large amber beads, which
by a secret operation will help to
keep the ship aloft." The ship was
supposed to be able to carry ten or
eleven men.
An English paper Of the period
contained the following account Of
the flying ship of the priestly inven-
tor, translated from an address by
Father Laurent to the Portuguese
monarch!
Father Bartholomew Laurent has
found out an Invention, by the Help
of which one may more speedily
travel through the air than any other
way either by Sea or Land, so that
one may go 200 Miles in "a Hours.
Merchants may have their
Merchandise, and send Letters and
Packets more conveniently. Places
! besieged may be Supplyd with Ne
cessaries and Succours. Moreover,
we may transport out Of such places

CHURCH AND SCHOOLS

Two important announcements
were made by the Colorado Fuel q
Iron company yesterday. II
One concerns the purpose to erect
a building at the Primero coal camp
for the Joint use of the Protestant
and Catholic church organizations.
The other concerns the establish
ment of night schools.
The curch at Primero will be erec-
ted by the combined efforts of the
Protestants and Catholics, aided by
a contribution from John d. Rookie
feller, Jr. Mr. Rockefeller recently
aided in the construction of Cath
olic church in the Berwind camp.
The company's schools will be for
miners wishing to prepare for state
examinations for mine foremen and
fire bosses. The schools will be
operated under the general super
vision of E. II. Weitzel, manager
of the fuel department. In Las
Animas and Huerfano counties in
struction will be given by F. L..
Miller and d. A. Stout, division
engineers. j. @. McNatt will be
in charge of the classes in Fremont
county and at Crested Butte.
Robert McAllister and George
Parker will assis. in giving instruc-
tions on the use of safety lamps.
The company recently posted noti-
ces in its camps urging employees to-
prepare themselves for promotions.
1t has been the policy of the COM :,
pany in the past to select forem en-,
fire bosses and other similar officials
from the ranks of the workmen
whenever it was practicable to do
so. At times, however, the comp
any was handicapped by lack OF
definite knowledge as to which
workmen were qualified for the
higher positions. The notice recen-
tly posted urges miners who believe
themselves qualified for Advancement
to fill out application blanks stating
their experience and the position to
which they aspire. Rocky Noun
