Lloyd-George Tells Plainly
Terms Upon Which the
Huns Can Get Peace.
JUSTICE FOR THE FRENCH
Dismemberment Of German
Empire Not One OF The
Present Demands.

Great Britain's war aims were set
forth Saturday by Premier Lloyd
George in the broadest and at the
same time most specific manner in
which they have yet been stated. In
one of the most striking and COM
prehensive utterances of the war the
Premier made II clear what the Brit.
ish nation and empire would regard
as a just and durable peace. This,
he declared, must be achieved by the
re-establishment Of the sanctity oI
treaties, territorial readjustments or
the basis of self-government and the
limitation of armaments guaranteed
by an international organization. Great
Britain was not fighting, said the
Premier. to disrupt Germany, destroy
Austria-Hungary or take Turkeys
capital or her home lands from her.
Belgium must be completely restored

desire to join in it; the peoples of such
regions as Arabia, Palestine, Mesopo-
tamia and Armenia, who have been
under Turkish domination, must have
their separate national conditions
recognized; the wishes and interests
of the natives of the German colonies
must be primarily regarded by the
peace conference; the claims of Italy
for reunion for those Of her own race

AGED MAN
KILLED BY
ACCIDENT
Struck by Automobile While
Attempting to Cross
Ninth Street.
OCCURRED SATURDAY
Driven by Walter Thompson,
Slowing Up, Near
Postoffice.
OCCURRED SATURDAY

Rev. John Moore, an aged and in
firm colored Baptist preacher was
struck by car Saturday evening a.
900 O'Clock on Ninth street in front
of Friedman's Meat Shop and was so
badly injured that he died at one
o'clock Sunday morning
From the best information obtain
able. the accident was wholly un.
avoidable. The car was driven by
Walter Thompson, a young son OF
Rev. C. NJ. Thompson, and was a
Buick touring car. In il besides the
driver was Misses Helen Thompson,
Grace Richards and Rosalie Miller.
The car was moving at a slow rate
Of speed in the direction of the post
office on the southside Of the street.
A passing buggy il is supposed OBJ
scured the approaching car from the
old man, who was nearly 80 years
OF age. and he stepped directly in
front of the car as il to cross the
street. The young man put on the
brakes and brought the car to a sud-
den stop, but not in time TO prevent
il from striking the old man, who
was knocked down and fatally hurt.
He was taken TO his home at 306
South Liberty street, where he linger-
ed several hours.
The victim was one of the oldest
men in the city and was one OF the
wealthiest men of his race.
He is survived by his second wife
and two children by his first wife.
Young Thompson has been driving
his fathers car for several years and
is an experienced and careful driver.
The unfortunate accident, the first
fatal accident from an automobile in
the city, caused widespread sadness,
and sympathy is felt for all concerned.
The funeral will be held at the Vir-
ginia Street Baptist church tomorrow
afternoon. The arrival of Rev.
Moore's son from a distance is
awaited.

Robert T. Grove, Of Oldham,
a Stanley Supporter To Be
Speaker Of The House
Of Representatives.
ALL FOR DRY AMENDMENT
Governors Message Will Be
Submitted With Recon-
mendations For Needed
Legislation.

began gatharing in Louisville Satur-
day and after conferences between
the Administration and Haley fac
tions, the organization contests were
transferred to Frankfort.
Caucuses Of both Houses were held
yesterday afternoon and the General
Assembly will be organized this NOR
ming.
Thomas A. Combs and Clem S.
Mum were tipped as the contestants
for Speaker pro. tenn. Of the Senate,
with Combs the Administration can
didate, claiming 16 Of the 25 Demo-
cratic votes.
Robt. T. Grove OF Oldham, and C.
M. Thomas, Of Bourbon, were candi.
dates for Speaker of the House, with
Grove, the Administration man,
claiming 3s votes, more than enough.
The dry resolution offered by
Senator Frost two years ago will be
introduced this time by Representa-
tiye Ballard, both sides being pledg-
ed TO dry amendment.
With both sides now pledged to SUBJ
mission Of prohibition to the people
the hope is borne that the resolution
will be adopted speedily and this
great obstacle removed early in the
session. This does not entirely dis
pose of the prohibition issue, howev-
er, as there is the nationwide amend
ment submitted by the National Con-
gress to the State Legislatures, and it
is certain that resolutions to adopt it
will be introduced.
By common consent the biggest
question before the approaching ses-
sion is the budget system. 1t means
that the General Assembly. which
should fix the tax rate every two
years, and doesn't, should also make
appropriations for all State expendi-
lures for two years at time, instead
of continuing appropriations.
II is expected that Gov. Stanley will
come out for such plan.
The new Tax Commissions report
will be much discussed during the
session, judging by the calls for it. 1t
makes no vague or hesitating state
ment, but unequivocally asserts that
the new law will do the business and
frankly sets forth measures to
strengthen il with reasons why. Incl
Gentally the commission is satisfied
that the SIS, 900 annual appropriation
will not by one-fourth cover the nee
essary expenditures of the depart
ment.
Gov. Stanley, whose message was
written during the last week, will re-
view the achievements Of his admin
istration, especially the tax reform,
and recommend a number of the de-
partment suggestions, including some
Of the Tax Commission, the Prison
Commission, Board OF Control, De-
partment of Education and Military
Department, at least
lie long since expressed himself in
favor OF the submission of the State
wide prohibition amendment at this
session.

Fear Of Intrigue by Diplomats
Of The Allies in Sweden
Said To Be Reason.
DECIDED AT COUNCIL
German Socialists Reported
Restless---Calls the Sit
uation Serious.

The peace negotiations between the
central powers and the bolsheviki
government in Russia have been tenn
porarily suspended by the Germans.
Dissatisfied with the proposals for
peace made by the Teutontic allies
before the conference at Brest-Lit-
ovsk, Leon Trotsky, the bolsheviki
foreign minister, has been insistent
on the deliberations being held on
neutral soil instead Of at the German
eastern headquarters. The Germans,
however, had been equally as firm in
their determination not to treat with
Russians at any other place than
Brest-Litovsk.
BOLSHEVIKI NOT FALLING INTO
THE TRAP.
German advices Saturday we're to
the effect that the bolsheviki dele
gates, on finding that the representa-
tives Of the Teutonic allies were at
Brest. Litovsk awaiting them had
started for this town, but nothing has
come through to show that these had
any foundation in fact. The decision
of the Germans to discontinue the sit
tings were arrived at during a crown
council held in Berlin Saturday, which
was attended by Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and General Won Luden-
dorff, first quartermaster general.
A belated dispatch from Berlin
gives as the reason for the refusal of
the Germans TO consider Stockholm a
place where peace might be advant-
ageously discussed, the fear that
British, French and American diplo-
mats in the Swedish capital would by
intrigue render all endeavors futile.
GERMAN SOCIALISTS RESTLESS.
Dispatches from Berlin indicate that
although the reichstag parties in the
main are supporting the government,
considerable political unrest is pre-
valent and efforts are being made to
hold the socialists in line. The social
ist organ in Berlin characterizes the
situation as extraordinarily serious.
Although the weather continues
cold and much snow. lies on the
ground in northern France there has
been considerable activity by the in
fantry in the Arras sector, in Flan-
ders and on the eastern part of the
front along the Moselle river. Near
Bullecourt the British have recap
tured in counter-attack, the sap taken
Saturday by the Germans. There
were intermittent artillery duels along
the entire front.

RETURNED HOME AND FOUND
DEATH HAD TAKEN FATHER

AS a result Of numerous kilograms
sent to the homes of friends where
James McDOnOugh, petty officer liz
the merchant marine, would probably
visit after returning from a cruise in
connection with war activities, he was
finally located at the home of friends
in New Bedford, Mass, when his
mother residing at 10 Wilson street,
this city, made an effort to notify
him of the death of his father, Coun-
Gilman Francis T. MCDOnough, who
passed away in ST. Francis hospital,
Hartford, following an illness of less
than a week. When the young man
left for foreign shores a few weeks
ago, touching France, his father was
in excellent health. The news of his
death came as a shock to the son,
who Immediately returned home in
time to attend the funeral held last
Saturday morning. Shortly after his
enlistent, he was made chief electrl-
clan, having advanced so rapidly be-
cause Of his electrical abilities.
