TIME latest English weeklies received
afford ample material for a review
Of the recent opposition to Lloyd
George. They appeared just after his
brutal frankness" speech at Paris, which
caused a tremendous sensation on both
sides of the Atlantic, and their editorials
were called forth by that remarkable ut
terance. The Paris speech is pretty gen.
orally condemned, and the criticism tends
to take on a severe form. The columns OF
the weeklies TEEN with strong words like
"deplorable," "ill-considered,' appalling
disastrous and fatal" "ludicrous," mis-
chievous," "panic-monger, "levity and IT.
responsibility" and many more Of like
quality.
Perhaps none Of these papers has at
tackled the Paris speech more vehemently
than "The Spectator Its article bears
the significant caption, THE Apple Of
Discord," and it claims that this apple
"was thrown down at a moment of crisis
when the great things to be avoided were
levity and responsibility of speech, and
when calmness and steadineSs were the
essentials" Besides this levity and ire
sponsibility, the editor finds in the speech
"as so often in things rash and reckless,
a strong element of injustice" And he
goes on: "His ill-founded and unhappy
sketch Of the history Of the war was un-
Just, and, therefore, provocative Of debate
in a high degree" He quotes the passage
in the Paris speech, where George said
that the unity Of the Allies. so far as
strategy went, was pure make-believe, and
calls il an "even more dangerous and
faliacious passage" than another point
brought under criticism
Then the editor passes on to "a much
worse, had almost said an unforgivably
mischievous passage" II is where Lloyd
George said: Eve have won great VIC
tories. When ! look at the appalling cas-
ualty lists ! sometimes wish it had not
been necessary 10 win so many" The
editor regards this equivalent TO accus-
ing the British generals of butchering
their men, and adds that il was "taunts
Of this kind, cleverly utilized by the Ger
mans, which did much to break the morale
Of the troops on the Italian left"
Then the eGiIor approaches his next
point Of attack by saying: The Prime
Minister rushed headlong into a most mis-
leading account Of the history Of the war"
lie quotes the account and reioins:
"Never has a greater number Of fallacies
y and misstatements been crowded into 50
y small body Of words"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-12-23

"The Boston Evening Transcript after
quoting the Prime Minister'S expression
about people who want "a premature and
vanqushed peace" remarks: This adj
mirable phrase will stick. A vanquished
peace is precisely what America, for one,
will not submit to-"
The editors conclusion is:
Gary on is still the word. Lloyd George
makes it clear that the dependence Of the
Alliance of Right is upon America. Let US
see that America does not disappoint IT."
THE Wilkes-Barre Record" writes in a
similar strain, and then tells Americans
plainly what is coming:
eft is doubtful whether Americans realize

A Dismissal on the Ground
a OF Future lnutility

Thus the criticism moves on from point
to point and finally eliminates in the
demand that Lloyd George be dismissed.
The editor writes; 1--WE venture TO say
that when he leaves Office il will not really
be through voluntary resignation. but only
because the country has no further use
for his services. And, as we have said
elsewhere. this is the solution-the COM
pulsory retirement Of Mr.. Lloyd George
from oflice-which, in our. opinion, is
necessary for the safety Of the nation"
What he had said elsewhere was this:

"The risks run by having at the head Of
affairs a man capable Of such levity. such
responsibility, such recklessness, such in
Justice, are beyond endurance. Unless
the House of Commons marks It's con-
demnation of the speech, and so dismisses
Mr.. George, we shall be in hourly peril
of national shipwreck. All parties must
join to put the vessel and her priceless
cargo beyond the reach Of Mr.. Lloyd
Georges frantic egotism.'

of the Paris description is not enough to
make crisis and a change Of government

Just as coal, when It burns, leaves
behind a. certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form Of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a

terial, which If not completely elimi-
mated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions Of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass Of left waste, toxins and
ptomain-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel

baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink q glass of real hot wa

to keep the entire alimentary canal

Those who are subject to sick head

others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath. backache. rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour. gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quar-

little, but is sufficient to make any
one an enthusiast on the subject

MARY PICkFORD.

"a Poor Little Rich Girl" with Mary
Piclkford cast in the title part, opens
a three-d day engagement Sunday. There
are many things that one could say
concerning the rare beauty and eXcep-
tional plot of this photoplay taken
from Eleanor Gates famous novel. To
dwell on the beauty and charm of the
story would leave no time to mention
the fact that all of the eastern critics
without single exception have, in re-
viewing "A Poor Little Rich Girl"
said that it was her best, and that she
has out-starred any previous engage
ment and won new laurels for herself
Naturally the artistic composition of
the screen subject would lend inspi-
ration for a muscal score of the same
rare individuality as the picture itself
boosted of. This was the case and
Mr.. O'Day on the Wurlitzer brings to
ones ears. over the tone waves of the
many different instruments of the
famed organ, the sweet, unspoken
beauty of thought and story that the
silent drama has hidden away in its
action.

USEFUL DEVICES FOR
STOCKMEN INVENTED

Emmett, April 19.-Emmett has two
inventors who recently have perfected
two useful devices, one for vehicles of
all kinds, the other for the stockmen.
The first is a patented end gate for
A. Leggett. The other is a stock
holding device for branding and de-
horning stock, made by G. w. Gillaspy.
Curiously enough, Leggett and Gill
laspy are next door neighbors, living
on the west side of Emmett. Neither
one knew of the others invention untf
week ago.
The end-gate herein referred to is
made of one board to which is at
tached a lever that is very easily and
simply operated up and down. When
the lever is pushed up it lifts out the
end-gate; when pushed down it hold
the end-gate in position absolutely
secure.
Mr.. Gillaspy's invention is one that
also is easily and simply operated. BY
its use any animal of any size can be
securely held without injury while it
is being branded or dehorned, or both.
The animal to be branded or dehorned
Is made to enter a small stockade.
When in, the animals body is held
secure by device that is operated by
a lever. Its head at the same time is
held immovable by another lever.
Up to the present time neither Mr..
Leggett nor Mr.. Gillaspy has made
any definite arrangement about get
ting his invention on the market.

could be stopped the broken rod had

that would take several hours to re-

I'VE had passed close by several
Prussian vessels earlier in the even

and went over the trawler's side and
shot two of them before they rushed
us. The lieutenant slammed shut the
forecastle hatch, penning in the re-
mainder of the crew, and then we took
the other Huns from behind and in a
jiffey we had cleared them out.
1--WE made sure that there was no
communication from the focastle eX-
cept by the locked hatch. Then the
lieutenant passed a line to our own
submarine and with her engine crew
working like mad, the rest of us on the
trawler got under way.
TRAVELLERS MINES ARE SOWN.
TT was almost dawn before the en-
gineer on the submarine hailed us and
announced that he had cleared away
the broken stuff and replaced the rods.
1.-THE lieutenant cast loose from our
submarine and the trawler made a
wide semicircle, dropping oversize all
the surface mines she had on board
20 of them.
"Then we sent radio in German
calling for help and announcing that
the trawler had fallen in with flo
tilla of fast British cruisers, evidently
bent on raiding expedition. With
that we wrecked the wireless, aban-
doned the trawler with her crew still
locked on the fo'castle and submerged
behind our barrier of mines.
SIX BOATS SUNK IN TRAP.
I'VE didn't have long to wait. The
dawn was just breaking when up from
the east came four destroyers in col
umn. Three hit mines and were de-
stroyed and we torpedoed the fourth.
1.-THE roar Of the explosion had hard
ly died away when another defamation
shook us and we found that two more
destroyers had come up from the
southwark and had fallen afoul of the
mines"

DESIRED
ON SHIPMENTS OF.
COAL BY RAILROAD
Public Utilities Commission
Will Keep Check on Ton
mage Handled in Idaho in
the Future.

For the purpose Of checking up on
the coal situation and with view of
preventing next winter such suffering
as was experienced during the past five
months because of shortage of fuel,
the public utilities commission has ad-
dressed letters to F. H. Knickerbocker,
general superintendent of the Oregon
Short Line railroad, and Joel L. Priest,
general agent of that road.
I'VE wish,' says the commission in
it's letter to General Agent Priest,
'your company would furnish this Of
flee complete statement, by months, If
possible OF the total tonnage of coal
hauled to each and every town on your
line in southern Idaho, from May |, up
to the date of your report. We desire
this information for the purpose of
having record in the office of the
consumption of coal by the different
communities, and we expect to keep a
record of the tonnage moved from
month to month so that it will give us
some idea of the supply which will be
in store for the coming winter"
COMPLAINTS HEARD.
The letter to General superintendent
Knickerbocker follows:
Several complaints have been made
to this commission in regard to car
shortage for coal shipping during the
months of May, June and July; that is,
making arrangements for storage pur-
poses for the coming winter.
1.-THE commission feels that an eff
fort should he made by your company
to wage a campaign for storing coal
lI1r 90
the early part of July, before the grain
starts to move. Unless this is done
it is a moral certainty that we will
have untold difficulty this coming
winter.
Some of the complaints are direct
ed along the line that the Oregon Short
Line is not furnishing it's proper pro-
portion of cars. for commercial ship
ping from Utah, and that the Denver
& Rio Grande is unable to handle this
business. The coal dealers in the sew
eral towns are evidencing great anXi-
ETY. for coal for storage purposes, and
we feel that the railroad company
should lend every assistance posi-
Bile during the coming two months and
half, to furnish equipment for sup
ply this coal for storage purposes,
thereby relieving the strain next win
ter.
I'VE wish you would be kind enough
to advise us what arrangements, if
any, have been made with the Denver
81 Rio Grande for turning over equip
ment to that company for coal pur-
poses. We further feel that no time
should be lost in the commencement
of this campaign, and that arrange
ments should be made not later than
the first of May
