London, Oct. l2.-Premier Lloyd
George, in an address today, declared,
that he could not think of any state

plate the making of concessions to
France respecting Alsace-Lorraine.
However long the war lasted, said
the premier, England intended to
stand by her gallant ally, France, un-
til she redeemed her oppressed chill

Red Tame In War Time.

From time to time, story comes
along from Somewhere In England"
or Somewhere In France" or some
where elsewhere, which shows that
"the official routine of the official de-
partment" Is receiving much buifeting
in these times. A certain commander
on II certain front decided, after care
full thought, that he needed certain
things and needed them very much. He
sent his list to headquarters, and, after
II long delay, came sheaf of official
forms full of detailed inquiry as to
why he wanted each thing he had
asked for. The commander thought
over the matter for day or two. Final
ly he took his courage In both hands,
and blue pencil in one of them, and,
so the story goes, wrote across each OF
the forms the legend, 81 want these
/ things because there Is war on over
here" He got them, without further

of diamonds. A number of instruc.
tons is given, including the follow.
ing formula: When diamond Is
quite clean and dry carry out the
following experiment: Place on the
surface tiny drop Of water. Now
take n needle or pin and try to move
the drop about. If the diamond is
genuine the drop can be rolled about
intact. On the other hand, where the
gem is an imitation the water spreads
directly 1t Is touched with the needle
point. Another very good test may be
carried out with Il tumbler Of water

, other hand, the imitation looks lndcfi
