 CAUGHT 'POSSUM IN TRAP
 One night last week Weather Forecas- ter R. H Dean captured a big, fat pos sum in his rabbit trap. He immediately had visions of tasty feast as soon as he could accumulate the necessary ac- compartment of yams. But his disap- pointment was great on finding that the box in which he had confined the ''possum was empty, the only trace of the animal being g few loose hairs against the opening which he had gnawed with his sharp teeth. The escape of the weather mans 'possum, coupled with the probability that 'taters are rapidly ap- preaching the 50-cent a bushel mark, is enough to cause disappointment.

WAR PROHIBITION .SP|R|TEDLY DEBATED BY EP|SCOPAL|ANS
New York Diocesan Conven- tion Fails to Pass Res0lu- ton of AbstentiOn
 During War

New York, November 14--A spirited debate on the question of national prohibition for the duration of the war was the feature of today's session of the diocesan convention of the Prot estant Episcopal church. A motion by Bishop Courtney that the convention recommend to Congress the passage of a prohibitory law was amended so that the proposal was referred to the so- ,cial service commission ito act upon in the manner they deem wisest to ob- tain the end in view"
 Speaking on the original motion, Rev. Dr. Leighton Parks, rector of fashionable St. Bartholomew church, declared that while he was in favor of temperance he believed such a law as was suggested could not be en- forced.
 "We must not put 8 law on our books,' he said, which would deny stimulant to our boys when they lie wounded and parched in the blister ing sun or wet and cold in the drench- ing rains.''
 pr. Parks then expressed the belief that the Russian upheayal was caused largely by the enactment of unen- forceable prohibition law.
 After the vote on the amended prop osition Bishop Courtney offered reso- lution providing that the members of the convention promise to abstain en- tirely from the use of all alcoholic beverages for the duration of the war, and that the clerical members of the convention urge the same action upon their congregations.
 Francis Lynde Stetson, lay dele- gate, declared he did not believe any convention 'shas the right to ask it's members or those whom it represents to make such promise"
 The resolution was defeated almost 
 Miss Edith M. Hadley, president of the Girls Friendly society of the dio- cese, urged co operation of the clergy in efforts to give the same care and protection to the many girls engaged in war work as is given the soldiers in the camps.

LLOYD GEORGE IS l. FACING SHARPEST CRISIS OF CAREER International Allied War
 Council Plan Causes
 Furor of Criticism
ASQUITH QUESTIONS
 PREMIER ON MOVE
Welshmas Gives Commons Notice He Will Discuss Paris Speech and Proposed General Staff
 Next Monday

London, November IA. Premier Lloyd George, on Ihis return from his hurried trip to consult and hearten Great Britain's ally, Italy, finds himself faced by the |sharpest crisis of his career las prime minister. The crisis is one which may re- suit possibly in a vote of want of confidence by Par- |liament, which would be fol- lowed 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 the formation of an international war council, composed of cabinet minis ters of Great Britain, France and Italy, with a military committee rep resenting the three nations, which later is to be in constant session at Versailles.
 QUESTION BY ASQUITH
 The proposed new inter-allied council was the subject of dis cussion in the House of Com- mons today when the former premier, H. Asquith, brought the matter before the house by interrogating Premier Lloyd George on tho functions of the council
 Mr. Asquith aslSed4 the premier whether he would now state the pre- else functions of the inter-allieds coun- cil and in particular of it's military staff whether it was proposed that
 the council, if so advised by it's staff,
 should have the power to interfere with and override the opinion on q at home and the commander in chief in the fold; whether the military staff of the inter-allied council was to have intelligence and operations depart ments or either of them of it's own; whether the ultimate decision as to the distribution and movement of the various armies in the field was to rest on the council or on the governments represented on it, and whether oppor : tunity would be given to discuss the
 ments made in connection herewith in the premiers Paris speech.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT

LItNAO VT
 Premier Lloyd George. in replying to MT. Asquith, said that the best way of answering the question was to read tine actual terms of agreement be- tween the British. French and Ital- ian governments for the creation of a supreme council of the allies. The text of the agreement follows:
 e. With a view to better co-ordina- ton of the military action on the western front, q supreme war coun- cil is created, composed of the prime minister and member of the gov ernment of each of the great powers whose armies are fighting on that front, the extension of the scope of the council to other fronts to be re- great powers.
 g. The supreme war council has for it's mission to watch over the general conduct of the war. It prepares recom- mendations for the consideration of the governments and keeps itself in- formed of their execution and reports thereon to the respective governments.
 PLACE RESPONSIBILITY
 "3. The general staff and military commands of the armies of each power charged with the conduct of the mil- itary operations remain responsible to their respective governments.
 '4. General war plans drawn by com- mitted to the supreme war council which, under high authority of gov- ernment, insures it's concordance and submits, if need be, any necessary changes
 ''5 Each power delegates to the supreme war council one permanent military rep resentative, whose exclusive function Is to act as technical adviser to the coun- Gil
 CLEARING HOUSE OF PLANS
 '6. Military representatives receive from the government and the competent mili- tary authorities of their country all pro- posals, information and documents re- lating to the conduct of the war.
 '. The military representatives watch day by day the situation of the forces and the means of all kinds of which the allies and enemy armies dispose
 's. The supreme war council meets nor mally at Versailles, where the perma- nent military representatives and staffs are established; they may meet at other places according to circumstances. Meet ings of the supreme war council take place at least once a month''
 MT Lloyd George announced that the government had set aside Monday for the discussion of his Paris speech and tho preposel council.

tic meeting held at the opera house
Monday evening, spoke again Friday

George S. Mills, the Congregational
pastor, in introducing the speaker, re-
ferred to the part taken by Corporal
Cru in the patriotic meeting and to the
spirit Of friendship in Bennington for
the Crue brothers that had its begin
ming before the war and that had been
intensified by the great struggle in
which the two Williams instructors
are so nobly doing their share.
Members Of Corporal Cru's audience
must have been impressed Friday eve
ming with the fact that war today is
work and sacrifice. He made no at
tempt TO give an address, used no fig

es narrated some OF his experiences
in the trenches. He described in de-
tail the hand grenades, one of the new
inventions for destruction that have
reached high state of perfection dur
ing the war The latest models are
manufactured with time fuses which
must be ignited while the small bomb
IS yet held in the hand of the thrower
end which explode in six seconds after
the time fuse begins to get busy. He
told of the life in the camps conceal
cd in the pine woods, of the night mar
ches Of the relief parties from one
trench to another and of the enormous
amount of detail that predominates in
war as it is fought today
None of the horror of war had
part in his remarks His description
business concern or large fac
tory that was being operated to Sc
cure the largest output for the amount
of money invested and energy expend-
ed. Through it all, however, ran the
indomitable spirit of the man who ap-
pears to have never for day since he
was first called to the front wavered
in the conviction that France and her
allies will win the war.
Following the burst of enthusiastic
applause which greeted Corporal Cru
