GOOD ROADS CAMPAIGN.
Citizens of Alexandria and Fairfax
Counties Making One.

Better roads are being urged at every
citizens meeting along the line of the
Washington and Old Dominion railroad
in Alexandria and Fairfax counties.
The immediate improvements are
especially noticeable at present be-
tween Elkins and Forrestville. in Fair
fax county, and between the Neighbour
hood House at Nanderwerken and the
Ditmar road in Alexandria county.
The agitation by the Old Dominion
Citizens Association and the School
and Civil League at Mclean is for
connecting link on the road in Fairfax
county from Walkers Chapel via
Franklin Park to Mclean. This con-
nection would give the upper part of
the county a direct outlet to Chain
bridge, and thence to Washington.

LLOYD GEORGE SCORED
Attacked BY Asquith In House
Of Commons Speech.
LORD NorthcI'ffe's Papers Lead Press
In Criticism Of Premier's
"Brutai Frank" Speech.

London, Nov 15.-Because Of what
he termed his brutal frank"
speech in Paris indications are evi-
dent of an approaching bitter attack
on Premier Lloyd George.
Former Premier Asquith, plainly
greatly excited, demanded in the
house Of commons when the premier
would make q statement explaining
his very grave" speech.
This Is the first time Asquith has
taken position apparently hostile
and critical Of Lloyd-George since As
Quith was retired as prime minister.
Lord Northcliffe, one of Lloyd.
Georges strongest supporters in the
past, has only just arrived back in
England. The press is generally
criticizing the utterances of Lloyd
George. led by the Northcliffe press.
Asquith's demand was greeted with
cheers in common. 1t was apparent
that hitter debate will follow in
which Lloyd-George will probably be
forced to fight desperately to main
tain the position he has taken as re.
CARDS the joint allied council.
