Smash the Insurance Trust

If revelations made at Indianapolis regarding
an alleged fire insurance trust which controls
rates in violation Of a permanent Injunction
against companies that are said to be in the COM
bination, the attorney general must step in and
smash the trust. The report Of the special insur-
ance Investigator indicates that there is enough
ground for legal action. This is form Of hold
up the state authorities ought to stop at once.
Trust smashing has been in vogue all over the
country for number of years. Indiana will be
in line if it's officials at once check further eff
forts to increase the high cost of living by tell
ing the insurance companies that the Law must
be obeyed and the rights of the people protected.

ly instead of period Of 60 days as
formerly. 1t is believed that this dc.
partment will save the city annually
more than the salary of the man at
the head, who will watch all property
subject to taxation, that none escapes.

this department., as we'll as statistics

LLOYD GEORGE LEAVES

George expects the war to go on un.
til Germany is crushed, the war will
go on eternally, until German armies
complete it, German newspapers
which arrived here today say. 4.
Did Not Close 0oor.
The Allies have not. slammed the
door in the face of Germhny's peace
messengers. The Allies, inst cad, have'
merely said to Germany "Dof't come
again in the attitude of victor" !,
This was the view taken today Of
Premier Lloyd Georges speech In the
house OF commons yesterday. 1t was
regarded that II Germany really
wants peace, she now knows how to
come about it.
Lloyd George has destroyed Ger.
many's idea that England dominated
the Entente Allies, according to pop
ular belief. His statement at the ont.
set Of the speech that the Allies had
reached the same decision certainly
seemed to have established no domi.
nation by one ally over the balance.
Lloyd Georges speech was general.
ly accepted here today without oppo.
sition. "The country is Lloyd
Georges. What is he going to do With
it," is the popular sentiment.

GERMAN PRESS COMMENT.
NV Associated PreSs.)

Amsterdam, via London. Dec. 90
Commenting on Premier Lloyd
Georges speech, the Tegeliche Rumd-
schau of Berlin says:
Preparation could be demanded by
England only il Germany had declar-
ed war on England, if we were to
blame for the war, if we had commit
ted a.crime against international law,
and if we had been defeated,
The Lokal Anzeiger takes the view
point that Mr. Lloyd Georges remarks
about reparatiOn are of no value, in
asmuch as nothing has been said thus
far about peace conditions. This pa
per continues:
"If Lloyd George means to postpone
satisfying Europe's desire for peace
until the time when the Entente is
successful in conquering Germany's
armies and those of her allies, then
the whole of Europe, as we'll as Lloyd
George, knows full we'll that this an
nouncement means eternal war unless
it is in the power of the German COM
mand to bring it to an earlier termi-
nation than Lloyd George supposes."

CARRANzA CHIEF
BITTERLY Scores
GENERAL BELL
United Pressl

Ell PasO, Dec. 20.-With the declara-
ton that he would give every assist
ance to deserters from the United
States army, who finally crossed the
border into Mexico, General Gonzales,
Carranza commandant at Juarez, in q
statement issued today, bitterly as.
sailed General Bell, commander of the
American forces here for his failure
to return to the Mexican officer, Com.
maduran. He escaped into the Unit
ed States territory.
General Bell, claiming the case to
be either civil or political, said today
he has no authority to return Com
maduran upon a military order from
Mexico.
Gonzales, in the statement issued
today, cited that several orders issued
upon the United States authorities for
the return Of Commaduran had failed.
The United States authorities here
had heard that Commaduran had been
sent to Juarez to replace General Con-
zales, but that Commaduran had been
routed from his new command by Con
zales.
On the other hand Gonzales claims
that Commaduran had been ordered
to Chihuahua City, but that he had
fed here with government funds. Con
zales denied that Commaduran had
been ordered to replace him.
