LLOYD GEORGE s
WORDS GIVE NO
HOPE To GERMANS
Evening Papers Of Berlin OBJ
ject to References to Repair
ationi Causes of War Need
Not Be Discussed,
lsv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE

Berlin, Dec % (by Wireless to say
vilIe) The Overseas News agency
gives out for publication comments
appearing in the evening papers on
! the recent speech made by the British
prime minister, Lloyd-George the
agency says that the papers consider
as the most important points of the
speech, Mr.. Lloyd-George' demand
! for restitution, reparation and guar
antees"; and, second Mr.. LLOYD
Georges declaration that he fears the
central powers might entrap the en-
tente by their peace offer. 1t contin-
ues:
The Deutsche zeitung considers
LLOYD George s words as full confirm
alton of the anneXatonist program
advocated by representatives of the
entente, and enumerates the parts oil
! The territory of the central powers
which according to this program, the
members of the entente wish to con-
quer and annex as, for instance, Con-
stantnople, which the entente has
promised to the Russians.
Sees Refusal to Negotiate.
"The Vossische Ieitung asks Wheth-
| er Lloyd George fears he may be en-
trapped because he is forced to recoR
nize the strength Of Germany, ana
| because it is known that the entente
has been unable to change the pres
ent war situation.
THE Berliner Tageblatt with rel
erence to the same utterance, says
that either Lloyd-George has poor
opinion of the ability of British dl-
plomacy or wants to lay the blame
at the door of the central powers II
the entente declines their offer OIL
peace negotiations. The TasehlalI
adds that apparently Lloyd George
has the same object if the peace con-
ditions of the entente are embodied
in the already mentioned ambiguous
words, by which really nothing Is
meant but the humiliation of Ger
many
Blames Talk of Past.
The Kolnische Volks Zeitung and
the Hamburger Fremdenblatt point
cut that the British premier, in his
recent speech, attempted 70 avoid the
question at issue, and finds preteXts
against the offer of the central pow
ers. They are quoted as saying:
while the central powers were the
first that dared to pronounce the
word peace and invite the world to
a discussion of the future, Lloyd
George turns his back, reopens dis
cussions about the past, and the
causes OF the war. Thus, LLOYD
George implicitly declines the offer
made by the central powers and at
the same time wants to hold them
responsible in the eyes of the world
If the war continues Lloyd George
would rather pronounce Judgment IN
his own case than accept the idea OF
a decision of o conference

PENDANT for the enforcement of any
law and the distinction of being the
first defendant in a case where catch
ing crawfish out of season was charged
fell to the lot of William Boehnke. He
was arrested by Deputy Game Warden
Emil Fox. The heinous crime of
which Boehnke was charged was COM
mitted out on the banks Of Balm creek.
The defendant admitted that he caught
crawfish and declared his ignorance of
the law protecting them from being
caught in certain seasons of the year.
The law provided a minimum fine of
$40 and the costs, and it was paid by
Boehnke. He volunteered his opinion
that all the craw dads in Kenosha
county were not worth the amount of
the fine, to say nothing of the costs.

Chicory Cultivation.

Chicory, so extensively raised in
France, is harvested either by hand
or by blowing. AS fast as the plants
in one line are pulled the roots are
gathered in heaps after the removal
of the leaves and are roughly cleaned.
They are then transported to the fac
tories, where they are mechanically
washed in flowing water andN dumped
on a perforated conveyer that permits
them to drain while travelling toward
the root-cutteTs. The roots, when cut
in small pieces, are conveyed to the
malt kilns or special driers. where
they remain thirty-six hours or more.
and after cooling are bagged. The
chicory, having now become friable.
passes into series of crushers; after
each crushing the broken material is
passed through sifters that divide 1t
into four grades. From the crushers
the ehicorv goes to the roasting re-
torts and then receives a final manip-
ulation, that of tinting. which consists
in giving the grains a coating of inn
palatable chicory dust. The last oper-
alton is that of packing the chicory,
either by hand or by machinery.
