 SPEECH AR0USES LONDON GREATLY
Contained Hint of Attempt to Negotiate With
 Bolsheviki.

London, Nov. 10-Premier Lloyd Georges hint in his Guild Hall speech Saturday night of an attempt to ne gotiate peace with the Bolsheviki in Russia has created a stir here. The anti -Bolsheviki press is indignant over the suggestion.
 The Daily Mail scouts the idea as shaking hands with a murderer 9 and generally denounces the sugges- ton, which it says, caused great amazement in political circles. The Telegraph and the Morning Post are also hostile to the proposal.
 Referring to the passage of the speech dealing with the possibility of peace with Russia, the Chronicle, special champion of the premier de- cIares it is mot free from obscur- ity."
 Some may see in it." the Chronicle continues, "a suggestion of returning to the Prinkipo policy; we do not, however, read it in quite that sense"
 The Daily News, which is anta- gonistic to the Premier and strongly in favor of making peace with the Bolsheviki, accuses Mir. Lloyd George of inconsistency and insincerity in all ' is dealing with Russia. The news paper contends the terms which the Soviet government is known to be willing to accept are essentially req sonable. It declares a sincere at tempt at peace ought to be success full though. If the Bolsh evi<i meet with military successes, they may be tempted to put the price of peace higher than they are putting it to- day"

 It was because Andorra had free trade that MT. Warren set up his third single tax colouy-he has beer the founder of three Of the six col onies that exist in the world. And it was merely to further the enclaves interests that he made the trip from which he has just returned.

 Including stops at three ports" he said, i've were 20 days on the trip home. We came in the Catalonia, a steamer 36 years old. She is so old that she dates to the days when the first-class cabins were aft, over the screw, and the second-class amid ships. Knowing this, I took a second class cabin. There were four of us in the room, but No. had a letter to the purser; We got him to use 1t and get a ''better'' cabin.
 NO. 4 found that the heat during storm-when We had to keep the ports closed and the thermometer rose to 94-combined with the ships rolling, made a cabin further aft de- sirable. Then we had comfort, ex cept for the cockroaches.''
 But the history or the colony at Harvard shows how such things grow no single tax propaganda is neces- sary; as soon as the people under stand the advantages to be had in the colony, they seek to get in As soon as adjoining landowners see how con- ditons improve in such a colony, they try to become sharers by adopting single tax themselves.
 It is a Catholic country, and the, churches show strong Moorish traits. The peasants are serious minded, and many of them illiterate, but all of them holding strong ideals for citi- zenshfp. They have many quaint laws. A1emany, for instance, was a ''profu- go." He refused to do military duty, and in leaving Andorra he had to go through France rather than Spain.
 Francisco Pla was citizen of such importance as to be sent on a special embassy to France. A committee af- terward came to him and asked him to run for the Council, as the Legis- lature is called. He declined.
 Then said the committee, you may as well lock your door," There is law in Andorra that a citizen refus- ing public office may be exiled fol three years. So Pla had to serve.
