LONDON, Nov. 15.-Premier Lloyd
George explained to the house of
commons yesterday that the interai-

information derived from all the gov

duct of the war.
Premier Lloyd-George, 0 his re
turn fro hmsi hurried trip to consult
and hearten Great Britain's ally, Italy,
finds himself face to face with the
sharpest crisis of his career as prime
minister The crisis is one which
may result possibly n a vote of want
of confidence by parliament, whicn
would be followed automatically by his
resignation.
No action taken by any British gov
ernment since the beginning of the
war has caused such a maelstrom Of
criticism, speculation and symptoms
of uneasiness as the announcement OF
formation of an international war
council. composed of cabinet minis
ters of Great Britain, France and
Italy. with a military committee rep

how ia" lie new military trinity viii

RIVER IS SWITCHED
TO BUILD AERO DOME

LONDON, Nov. 15,-The opening
this week of large new aerodrome
at Hanworth Park, near London, marks
the completion of engineering work
which involved the defecton under
ground for distance of nearly a mila,
of the Wolsey river. The stream
intersected the field selected for the
main landing ground of the aerodrome
and impeded the landing of aircraft
there. To remove this defect, the
engineers constructed a conduit, cap
able of carrying 27,Ooo,ooO,ooo gallons
of water daily, into which the stream
has now been diverted, and its bed
leveled to i've an unbroken surface
for the aerodrome. The size of the
conduit was such that before the river
was diverted fifty soldiers marched
upright throu2h the underground way.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

men exacted cart revenge for a
trench raid during recent night by
ambushing a large German patrol in

The American patrol. in which there
was some Frenchmen. arranged the
ambuscade near the German lines on a

After lying in the mud nearly all
night the patience of the watchers was
rewarded by the sight of large Ger

The Germans were permitted to pass,
when the Americans and FrencL on
their flank, opened a hot fire from

they were secure. The German were

The number of dead and wounded
Germans is uncertain, but none of
the men in ambush was hit by the
bullets the Germans later sent in from
a distance There were congratulations
all around when the Americans and
French re-entered their trenches.
During the last two nights the Ger
mans have continuously used machine
guns in the direction of the American
line. Sniping is becoming more ac>

shooters are warking close to the Ger

GEORGIA MASONS To

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 15.-Letters re-
Geived in Atlanta tell an interesting
story of a Masonic banquet held
Somewhere in France" by the Masonic
members of the Seventeenth regiment

this city.
The banquet was held in ''bouv-
ette" on the edge of a French village,
and was attended by $50 Masonic engi-
neers. representing twenty-seven diff
ferent states. The menu enclosed in
the letter reads quite temptingly, al
though it consists entirely of French
dishes.
AS is generally known, the supreme
lodge of the Masons' Annuity, a benefit
order for Masons only, is located in
Atlanta, and for many years has becz
doing a great work for the widows
anu orphans of deceased members. 1t
is the oldest organization of its kind in
America. with a record of substantial
service unique in the annals of Ma
sonic history. 1t has paid beneficial
ries approximately one million dollars
and its present assets are more than a
million dollars. Edwards P. Burns,
one of the best known Masons in the
South is superintendent of the organ
zation department.
Masos in Atlanta have received with
great satisfaction the recent order by

BEAVERS NOT LIKELY

agreement from Beavers that he

jority of the board requested him to do
So Evidently they thought they were
paving the way to slip the sklds under

gone to the trouble of getting the
agreement.
Now it develops that Beavers can
disregard the agreement and give the
board the merry laugh, if he's so d
mind to, and they can't do anything
but humor the joke by claiming they
are satisfied to keep him as CHIEF
The politicians opposed to the rein
statement express the hope that Beav
ers will be asked to resign, and Will
refuse, because they regard the agree
ment as a nice little joke on the police
commissioners.
A chief of police, or patrolmPn
walking a beat, is protected by the
civil service rules of the department
He cannot be discharged without a
trial. and he cannot be tried without
written charges are sworn to. Hence
it appears that the board will have no
power to compel Chief Beavers to re-
sign if he takes a notion to hold the
