Lloyd George Says
Irish Controversy
Should Be Postponed

London, March 7.-On behalf of the
Irish nationalists, T. P. OConner
moved in the House of Commons to-
day a resolution that the free insti-
tutions long promised to Ireland
should be conferred on it without fur
ther delay.
Premier Lloyd George said the gov
ernment was prepared to confer self
government on parts of Ireland clearly
demanding it.
Premier Lloyd George said it was
the government view that there must
be no attempt at a settlement OF the
Irish question which would provoke
civil war in one part of the kingdom
and send the whole kingdom into war
ring camps during the great world
struggle.
The premier, however, urged the
necessity OF postponing the Irish con-
troversy during the war in the inter-
ests Of nationa. safety.
Mr.. Lloyd George asserted that the
governments view was that it would
be impossible to force the people of
Ulster to submit to be governed
against their will. He suggested that
the question might be discussed by a
commission.

WITH WHOLE STAFF
Leader of Cuban Revolution
Reported to Have Been
Taken Prisoner.

was made at the presidents palace to-
day that a message nd been received

Colonel Collazo, commander of the
government troops.
The news of the capture of General
Gomez came in dispatch from the
secretary of the interior, Colonel
Aurelio Hevia, who is commanding
the campaign in the province OF Santa
Clara. The dispatch said Colonel
Collazo had reported the capture of
General Gomez and his staff. The
announcement was received with
cheering and the waving of hats by
President Menocal and the army Of
fcers gathered at the palace. All Of
hcers, soldiers and prominent civil
ians who later came to the palace
also cheered the news.
Senate Passes Suspension Bill.
The senate this afternoon passed
the bill which previously passed the
house authorizing the president to
suspend constitutional government.
The bill now only needs the presi-
dents signature to become law.
General Jose Miguel Gomez has
been described as the leader of the
Cuban revolt. Forces which he COM
manded were defeated by those Of
Colonel Collazo late in February in a
battle on the Jatibonico river bound
ary, between the provinces of Cana
guey and Santa Clara, and it was re-
ported that the insurrectos had been
dispersed into small bands and that
General Gomez had taken fight.
Indicted by Cuba Judge.
President Menocol was recently
quoted as attributing the euban re-
volt to the "unbridled ambition" OF
General Gomez to overthrow him, but
this was denied by General Gomez
friends. A few days ago it was stated
that Cuban Judge had found a true
bill against Gomez on charge of
conspiracy and revolution and had
fixed bail at $200,000.

LOKAL ANZEIGER
ATTACKS WILSON
German Paper Says President
in Inaugural Address Tore
Up Monroe Doctrine.
ASSERTS IT MEGLOMANIA

Berlin, Tuesday, March 6.--(Via
London, March 7.)-The Lokal An
zeiger i'll lengthy editorial today se-
verely criticises President Wilson S
inaugural address.
"On the self same day that James
Monroe 100 years ago assumed the
presidency" says the newspaper, "his
successor, President Wilson, at the
capitol in Washington tore UP the
document known as the Monroe
doctrine. which for a century has
been the cardinal feature OF Amer
ica's foreign politics. The peculiarly
veiled rhetoric in which he clothes
his inaugural sentiments admits of no
other Interpretation.
THE entire address is plainly in
support OF the necessity which, Pres
ident Wilson thinks, has been shown
by the world war that there should
be enforced on the old world the
laws which he had evolved in his own
mind for regulating the intcr-rela-
tions of the nations of the earth in
future. In this ambition, which bor-
ders on megalomania, is revealed a
measure of presumption which, thank
God, is in inverse ratio to the physi
cal assets at his command needed to
achieve the realization Of his pro-
gram.
THAT, however, is not the most
revolving feature of his address. In
each OF its sentences the intention is
plainly revealed through persistent
misstatements, distortion and con-
cealment of undeniable facts, to pro-
claim himself to the world at large
as a peace mediator at the very mo-
ment that he is Threatening without
cause to take up arms and enter the
war; and this, though he is RESPONSE
Bile for its prolongation by virtue OF
his pro-EnGlish attitude, his so-called
neutrality and his numerous sins OF
omission.
Never has the capitol at Washing
ton been more profanely desecrated
by a speech than or this occasion
In each of its sentences its author
sets up the claim to be counted among
the most righteous and honorable OF
mortals, while in each word he re-
veals himself the most unrighteous
and dishonorable man who has yet
stood at the head of a great state
And when he states that there is
nothing that can alter his thoughts OF
his intentions million voices shout
back across the Atlantic, No threat
of armed ships, no declaration Of war
will again open up our blockade
zones to American commerce.

PROBABLY WILL ARM
AMERICAN SHIPS
Indications President May Act
Without Awaiting Authori-
cation by Congress.
ADVISERS DISCUSS LAW

Washington, March 7.--The definite
impression that American merchant
men would be armed in the near
future gained ground today following
conferences between President Will
son and administration officials and
democratic senators.
Some administration officials today
we're urging on President Wilson their
view that he may legally arm mer-
chant ships now without awaiting ex-
press authority which congress might
give if called in special session. They
argued that the old law passed in 1919
forbidding a merchantmen to fire on
"a public armed vessel of a nation in
amity with the United states would
not apply to the present situation. The
president heard these views with keen
interest and indicated that he is seek
ing Some legal means of acting
promptly, but would prefer congress
sional approval.

OMAHA PRICE IS THE BEST
The SIS hog has arrived.

The SIS hog has arrived. ..
When The Bee some time ago fore
casted SIS hog there were cries Of
derision and the wise ones predicted
that it would never come.
Hogs sold yesterday at both Chi
cago and St. Louis for SIS per hun
dred.
The top on the Omaha market was
SASS, which is IS cents over the

THE Omaha price is really the high
est in the world today" said L.
Buckingham, general manager of the
yards. Although Chicago bought
hogs at SIS, the price here was really
higher because there is more than
Ascent spread between the two mar
kets with the prices so high"
The. bulk of the sales Oh the
Omaha market were from $l4,20 to
$l4.45.
The price is 81 advance over the
price of last Saturday.
The advance over the first OF the
year is more than $3.50 per hundred.
Lambs also showed an advance of
IS cents.
Packers Strike"
Chicago, March 1.-The ascent of
the price of live hogs to $l5.05 today
brought on something like a strike of
packers today. At this price also
eastern bidders withdrew and 10000
out of total receipts of 80, 900 hogs
remained unsold. Quotations then
dropped back to yesterdays average.
Yesterdays top was $l475, brought
by choice heaviest.
The packers have followed the in
creased demand of the growers from
$3.50 February II to present quota
tions, owing to an unprecedented de-
mand, but the SIS level was regarded
as the signal to align the meat men
with other opponents Of the high
cost OF living.

JEFFRESS WANTS TO BE
COUNTY COURT CLERK.

The Courier is authorized to
place before its readers the name
of j. p. Jeffress as a candidate
for County Court Clerk of Fulton
county, subject to the Democratic
primary. Mr.. Jeffress is just
winding up his term as county
assessor, and this office, like the
sheriff S, cannot be filled by the
same man for two consecutive
terms. 1t is needless to say that
MIR. Jeffress has made an honest
capable, efficient officer; the fact
is well known to every citizen OF
the county.
In asking for the office OF
County Court Clerk, he does so
with the same promise as given
in his former campaign-that af
elected, he will do his whole duty
just as honestly and conscien-
tiously as within his power and
ability. Such a pledge from
gentleman of Mr.. Jeffress : charac-
ter Is equivalent to every demand
because he is qualified and if e
lected will do his duty. He is OF
that rugged, honest type which
places honor and duty above
money and special privileges, and
is unlearned and uninclned TO
corrupt political practices. Ii he
IS elected, it must be upon his
own meflts and by the voice OF
the people, as he positively can
not be bridled by any clique or
clan.
The Courier doesn't hesitate to
vouch for Mr.. Jeffress as a gem
tleman, although this fact is well
known. He is a resident of the
Lodgeton precinct-a farmer by
occupation-assessor by hard
work and 615 votesEand hopes
to be county clerk through the
confidence of the voters of Fui-
ton county.
