British Press Riled

The British press is vehement in it's
lenunciation of the speech delivered
~ Premier Lloyd George in Paris re-
garding the war and its conduct. 1
The Daily Mail. which is one of his
strongest supporters and extremely
lntagonistic to former Premier AS
uith, comments editorially on the
4peech under the heading: The Old
lang on the Make" and writes OF
the partisan maneuvers' to secure the
'eturn to power of Mr.. Asquith and
his followers. which. 1t says. nobody
could contemplate without alarm.
Nevertheless, it lectures the premier
or INDUCING In loose talk" in his
Paris speech, and while maintaining
that he Is right on the main point,
namely. the necessity OF unified con-
rol and the esta blishment Of n per-
nanent military council, it says:
Some of the premers emotional
.ssertions We're distinctly unfortunate.
t was a great error to refer to the
ierman line in the west as an i'm
oenetrable barrier or to belittle the
splendid victories on the Somme as

correct. in view OF the gigantic seal"
If the war. We hope the premier will
lot miss the opportunity Of putting
nto juster language his second
thoughts on these and some other mat
.ers dealt with in the Paris speech"
The Daily News says editorialiy:
we face Il crisis. which threatens
the existence of the alliance and the
ate of the war ana the world"
1t describes the premicr's speech as

most lamcntahlc blow struck in this

The criticisms in the Times are less

RITTER'S BUILD PORK
AND BEAN FACTORY
To Be In Opration Through.
out The Year

The P. J. Ritter Conserve Co.
has under way at their local plant
new building 26x60, to be used
in the canning of pork and beans,
a product they have long handled
at the Philadelphia factory. The
pork and beans will be shipped to
the kitchen very largely from
Michigan and northern New York
State. Should the farmers of the
section become interested, how
ever. they will receive the heart
lest cooperation from the Ritter
Company. This section of the
plant will be in operation the
whole year, with the exception of
the few weeks at the height of the
tomato season, when the company
will probably transfer the hands
from the pork and bean kitchen tc
the ketchup factory. Thousands
of dollars worth of machinery will
be installed as soon as the build
ing is in readiness. The capacity
of the plant will lbe from $500 tc
5000 cases in twelve hours. From
twenty-five to thirty people will be
employed in this department.

"Only a study of the canvas"
she said, "can give accurate judg-
ment or good taste in regard to
pictures. But there is a need of a
preparatory study for an under
standing of Art, and here photo
graphs or photographers may be
used to advantage by the pupil.
