English Press Comment on Lloyd Georges Victory
 Is Very Much Divided

London, May 11.--The action of the House of Commons in turning down the Asquith motion by large majority gen. orally accords with the views of various newspapers expressed previous to the premiers statement in the House of Con- mons. The estanch supporters of Premier Lloyd George accept his statement with out question, and regard it as com plete refutation of the charges made by Major General Maurice Those papers which urged an inquiry treat the speech as having restricted value and as be- ing an ex parte statement, though they admit it was good effort.
 Among the former papers is the Daily Mail, which says that not rag of Gen eral Matrices pretentious indictment is left, and asks who will again ever pay the least attention to anything he says It declares that former Premier Asquith was outgeneraled and outfought.
 The premier's answer, says the Daily Telegraph, was complete and over. whelming, and showed that General Maurice had not a scintilla of justifica- tion for any of his charges
 The Daily Chronicle, voicing the second view says the issues were left in the same mschieyous obscurity as before the premier spoke, because of the uncertainty in the mind of the public. It declares the premer's statement does not remove the serious disquiet from the mind of army.
 The Daily News refers to the premier's s withdrawal of the plan of a judicial in quiry as political jugglery, and says he bulked the inquiry into charges affecting British honor and the honor of Parlia- ment

LATEST
 AT THE COLONIAL

Charlie Chaplin, in his latest produc- tion, "A Dogs Life" will be shown at the Colonial theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The kind of dance hall for which Coney Island, New York Bow cry and the Levee of Chicago were fla nous some 20 years ago, where the celebrities" of the underworld gave and took fractured skulls as nightly souvenirs is the featured scene in this film.
 Charlie turns himself loose among an aggregation of desperadoes that would have given the shivers to J. James him. self He goes in single-handed without gun or knife and how he and his dog escape is a mystery. From the moment Charlie enters the place until he finally departs, it is a continuous riot of fun.
 'The White Mans Law" featuring Sessue Hayakawa, will be shown al the Colonial tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednes- day.

RESURRECTION AT
 STRAND THEATRE

Resurrection" Pauline Fredericks new Russian picture, will be shown at the Strand theatre tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. The film is based upon the famous novel of Count Leo Tostoy, and, like the story. is a merciless ar raignment of Russian social and political conditions that shamed Russia before the overthrow of that autocratic govern ment.

American Bankers Oppose
 Two Proposed Measures

Hot Springs, May 11.-Opposition to two banking measures now pending in Con- gress was voiced at Fridays session here of the executive council of the American Bankers association.
 One of the measures criticized ad- versely was that providing for the guar anty of bank deposits of s5000 or under; the other was the bill imposing new penalties for usury.
 Opponents of the guaranty bill ex- pressed the belief that it would make the assets of the strong and well managed bank available to pay losses that might be caused by incompetent and defective supervision.
 It was reported at the meeting that the membership of the American Bankers association is 1S1E banks.

CONCERNING CLASS IN
BREAD

All that glitters in loaf Of bread
is not necessarily glass. 1t is well
known by this time that there was
never any foundation for the
ground glass scare But why did
so many apparently intelligent peo-
pie happen to fancy that their bread
had glass in it,
An explanation is given by ex-
perts employed by the Journeymen
Bakers and Confectionery Workers
international Union. They report !:
Corn -four under the microscope
shows many hard, hinty pieces of
the endoSperm germ, which have
a very CLASSY appearance. When
baked in a quick brown oven some
OF these particles retain their glass
like appearance, though in the ordi-
nary process Of baking this appear
ance is lost"
In bran hours, they say, a nerv-
GUS person might easily fancy that
PARTICLES OF the hard outer husk
were glass, And dcxtrine some
times SolidfeS into hard trans
parent mass which might be mstak-
en- for glass.
The natural conclusion is that
most Of the people who reported
having found glass in their bread
were simply deceived by the un-
wonted appearance OF the new ma
erials we're using for breadstuffs.

forth IN an open communication by

asks Tor the proof.
Here is the answer: The figures

council did not speak without
knowledge on the subject; and it
may be said further at this time
that the figure OF 90 per cent will
hold good for the whole county.
These are conditions which must
not simply be abated, but which
must be abolished, as it Is impera-

not be done unless the root OF the

HAULING FOOD.

While the farmers and truck gar
deners are doing their best TO in
crease food production. efforts are
being made to provide better means
of distributing the food they raise.
Food Administrator Hoover is en-
couraging the rural motor express
idea. 10 carry food5tuffS quickly
from country 10 city. The state
councils OF national defense. too. are
interested in the establishment Of
such express lines. Its fine open
ing for private enterprise.
The pos;offce department seeks
to attain the same object BY an ex-
tension OF the parcel post system.
providing motor trucks to carry veg
etables. fruits, etc, on many hun
dred routes. Rural sections have
been receiving about eight packages
to one sent out. That means that
they are buying. but not selling.
through the parcel post. That in
coming and ut-going traffic ought
to be better balanced.
Experiments with motor truck
routes have proved that the plan
can be made profitable for every
body concerned. including the gov
ernment. There should be a liberal
appropriation for it.
