LLOYD GEORGE NOT
PLEASED BY EITHER
Of ENEMY REPLIES
TReoubIican A. p. .esseo Wirel

LONDON, Feb. 12.-After declaring
that the government will stand by the
considered declaration he made early
in the year to the trades union repre-
sentatives, Premier David Lloyd George
told the house of commons today that
he had read with the most profound
disappointment the replies of Count
Won Hertling, the imperial German
chancellor and Count Czernin, the Aus
tro- Hungarian foreign minister, to
President Wilson's and his own
speeches.
1T is perfectly true. as far as the
tone is concerned he said that there
is Il great difference in the Austrian
and German speeches. But / wish |
could believe there is a difference in
substance.
4 cannot altogether, and I regret it,
accept the Interpretation of the Czernin
speech. 1t was extraordinarily civil
in tone and friendly. But when you
come to the real substance of the de-
mands put forward by the allies it was
adamant. 1t put Mesopotamia. Pales-
tine and Arabia in exactly the same
category as Belgium. They We're to. be
restored to the Turks on the same con-
ditions presumably as those on which
/ Germany was to restore Belgium.
Demands of Italy
when it came to the Italian de-
mands. Count Czernin simply said that
certain offers had been made before the
war and that they now We're with
drawn. So far as the Slavonic popu-
lation of Austria is concerned, it was
simply a polite statement to President
Wilson and the others that it was none
of our business to inquire. There was
not single definite question dealt with
/ where CZernin did not present the most
definite refusal to discuss any terms
I which might be regarded as possible
terms of peace and, when you come to
the German reply, it is very difficult
to believe that Won Hertling could be
! even serious in some of the demands he
put forward.
What was his answer to the allies
very moderate demands His answer
was that Great Britain was to give up

Several Years

a telegram was received by Mr..

ternoon conveying the sad intelligence
Of the death Of their son Lewis, H.
Nichols, of influenza, at his home in
Cincinnati. He had been i'll but a few
days. The telegram also announced
the critical illness of Mrs. Nichols.
The deceased was born in Litch-
field, this county, Nov. %, 1888, and

parents he removed to Medina when
a child and resided here until about
ten years ago when he accepted a
position with the Goodrich Rubber
Co.,, in its branch Office at Cincinnati.
He received his education in the local
schools.
Mr.. Nichols had many friends in
this community where he grew to
manhood who will be sorrowed to
learn of his untimely death. His
sister, Mrs. Richard Moncrief, died
only few weeks ago. Besides the
parents he is survived by his widow
and baby daughter, and one sister,
Mrs. G. B. Abbott, who resides south

Mr.. and Mrs. John Ewing have tend
cred their designations to the County
Commissioners as superintendent and
matron respectively of the. County
Infirmary. The letter to the Com
missioners was under date Of Nov.
~, and requests that the designations
become effective March 1, 1919.

of the board to enter the following
permanent record:
"The Board Of Commissioners ex-
pressed deep regret at having to part
with Mr.. and Mrs. John Ewing, who

PoMERENE HANDS
ONE TO COAL BARONS

Declaring that the coal people of
this country during the last eighteen
months have become fabulously rich
on account of the prices allowed by
DR.. Harry A. Garfield, the United
States fuel administrator, Senator
Atlee Pomerene fatty refused a re-
quest made to him by prominent
Ohio coal concern for assistance in
getting q large differential between
smokeless and soft coal.
Senator Pomerene's letter SAYS:
Allow me to write to you as one man
to another. Do you feel that after the
public has been compelled to pay the
exorbitant prices which have been
fixed by the fuel administration that
| ought to use my efforts to compel a
continuance of the payment of these
high prices? Just think of the suf-
fering that was caused in Ohio last
year by the miserable management
of this matter by the national fuel ad-
ministration, and then search your
own heart to find the answer as to
whether l should do as you request.
The coal people of this country dur
ing the last eighteen months have be-
come fabulously rich on account of
prices allowed by DR.. Garfield. 1
have no sympathy with these high
prices in the past and I hope that we
shall see the end of them, if not
now, in the very near future.
L am always glad to favor constitu-
ents when can, but you make a re-
quest of me which I cannot grant.

Theft SERIES AT
ELECTRIC STATION
SAFE ROBBED AND
NEWS STAND LOOTED
Several Boys Admit Latter Pilfering,
But Deny Robbing
The Safe

The safe in the Western Union tele-
graph Office at the electric station, was
opened Monday night and between
nineteen and twenty dollars taken
therefrom. The safe was closed, but
not locked.
Several thefts have been made re-
Gently from the news, cigar and con-
fectionery stand, also in the electric
station, owned by Cleveland concern,
but operated by Miss Ethel Sprankle.
When the company checked the stock
on Monday it was found that more
than $10O worth of merchandise was
unaccounted for. Miss Sprankle says
that she has known for some time
that articles were being taken, but
had no idea that it was to so large an
extent, and had reasons for believing
she would soon ascertain who were
robbing her.
Because of general complaint
from travellers that the electric sta
ton was closed at 7 o'clock every
night, it has been left unlocked for
the past several weeks until II or 12
o'clock, when it was locked by the
nightwatchman. 1t was during the
earlier hours that the thefts were
made.
Wednesday afternoon a number Of
boys were summoned before Sheriff
Gehman and Prosecutor Stine and
asked what they knew about it.
According to the officials the boys
confessed to having taken candy and
cigars from the stand at different
times, but denied emphatically that
they had touched the safe. The boys
named three or four other compan-
ions who they said, were implicated
with them in the affair.S These boys
were to have been given an opportun-
ity to explain for themselves Thurs
day afternoon.
None Of the boys have been placed
under arrest yet, and my be given
the alternative of making restoration
or stand trial on a very serious charge

MILK PRODUCERS and
Distributors CLASH

Last Saturday the State Milk Com
mission refused to grant Ohio milk
producers an advance in price from
@ to $4.60 per hundred. An appeal
by the producers from the decision
to State Food Administrator Croxton
was scheduled to be heard on We'd
nesday. The advance is asked for
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and
Toledo districts. On this decision de-
pends whether there will be further
increase in retail milk prices in those
cities.s The retail price in Cleveland
now is l5 cents quaft. Distributors
threaten to raise to Ii cents if the
sadgaIis A. tp producers is allowed. n Il, 4
10 f stated that Yodngs town bro
ducers had served notice on the dis
tributors that they would not provide
milk if the dealers did not agree to
pay the producers 81 cents gallon,
instead of "a IL cents, the price pre-
vailing.
Distributors declare that officials of
the producers association are at
tempting to build up statewide or
ganization of producers to force high
er milk prices, now that the war is
over. This is strenuously denied by
H. w. Ingersoll, president of the
Northern Ohio Producers association.
Medina county producers declare, it
is reliably reported, that the demand
for an increased rate is actuated by
justified desire on their part for a
more equitable adjustment of profits
which, they say, may easily obtain
without the necessity of an advance
in rate to the retail trade. As evil
dence of this the producers declare
that distributors, in, Cleveland, at
least, have cleared rs cents on the
gallon during the past year, the sum
total of profits, which the producers
say to them is known, is staggering
and beyond all reason and justice.
State Food Administrator Croxton
on Wednesday granted milk producers
of Columbus, Toledo and Cleveland
an increase of rs cents a hundred
pounds, and Cincinnati producers an
increase of 10 cents a hundred pounds.
But the present price of Is cents a
quart and 8 cents a pint to consum-
ers in those cities will remain at
least during this month.
New December prices for producers
in Columbus, Toledo and Cleveland
districts will be $4.25, and $4.10 for
the Cincinnati district.

NO DANGER or LOSING
NORTHERN TOWNSHIPS

There has been some speculation
throughout the county this week over
an item that appeared in last Sun
days Cleveland papers to the effect
that citizens in the northern tier of
townships will petition the legislature
to annex those townships to Cuyaho-
ga county. The movement was start
ed, the item stated, after the Medina
County Commissioners had refused to
make road improvements for some of
those townships.
So far as the Sentinel can learn
there is nothing to this, at least so
far as Medina county is concerned
But it has been known for some time
that Cuyahoga county would welcome
a situation Of this kind, as that coun-
ty is now bonded to it's limit, and in
this way could connect with fresh
source of revenue with which to carry
on larger good roads program.
Cleveland is desirous of being consti-
tuted county by itself. 1t is Cuya-
hoga county's dream then to annex
Hindkley, Brunswick and Liverpool
townships of this county, two town
ships from Lof4in county and one
from Summit county, to make up the
deficiency by the loss of Cleveland.
A trustee of Hinckley township in
the county commissioners Office Tues
day morning is said to have. declared
that the people of his township would
have nothing to do with such propo-
sition, and that the rumor doubtless
was started in Cuyahoga county. Coun
ty Engineer Bibbins is likewise of this
opinion.
The northern townships are anxious
for more money for the improve
ment of their roads, but they are in
the same pecuniary straits with this
respect as Cuyahoga county, and itis
not probable that they will start any
thing that would simply precipitate
them from the frying pan into the
fire.

COUNTY BOYS
IN CLOSING BATTLES

That Medina county boys were in
the thickest of some Of the most des-
perate engagements of the war, which,
it has been learned, occurred in the
last few weeks preceding the signing
of the armistice, is further evidenced
by a letter received by County Re-
corder C. s. Rice from his nephew, j.
G. Auble, of Spencer, under date of
Oct. 28, just two weeks before the
cessation of hostilities. He writes:
Several Medina county boys, whom
you might know, were in the last ac-
ton, but ais yet have been unable to
learn whether or not they are all
right"
Mr.. Auble, while having participat-
ed in much fighting, was at the time
his letter was written, detailed for
office work at regimental headquar-
ters, but at the front, where he had
been for some time.
During the last battles in which
the regiment participated" he writes,
"and notable victories, by the way, l
was not nearly SO exposed as might
have been with the company. We
are made acquainted from time to
time with few shells, however. In
fact, large shell just burst outside"
In closing his letter, Mr.. Auble
writes: Excuse the indistinctness of
this writing, as the ink, you may be
interested in knowing, was captured
from the Germans and is Of very
poor quality"
Mr.. Auble is with the 101st Infan-
try, American E. F.

PARCEL POST TRUCK
Line TO TAP Medina

Development of motor truck par
GELS post system, routes of which are
to lead from Medina, Lodi and other
points in the county to Akron and
Cleveland, is under advisement by
the Ohio Good Roads association and
the postal authorities.
A meeting of postmasters of north
eastern Ohio was held last Friday and
Postmaster A. Ross Read of Akron,
who was representative of the district,
states that the project will doubtless
materialize.
The system, which will be made
possible by the supply Of army motor
trucks by the government, is expected
to pay for one-half the road improve
ments in the state. Of the 10000
trucks to be used over the country,
5000 will be apportioned east of the
Mississippi.
