LLOYD GEORGE FACES
CRISIS OF CAREER
British Tiring of One-Man Power.
Change Likely.

London. April 20.-However he
may appear to have vindicated him
self. and whatever triumph he may
have gained by last Wednesday :
speech in Parliament, Premier Lloyd
George is far from being "out of
the woods" as yet. and the next
month Or six weeks may see
startling changes in British politics.
Even the premier's most ardent
supporters admit that the treaty TO
be submitted to the Germans and
revealed to the world perhaps as
early as next Saturday. will be the
nnal test OF Lloyd Georges posi-
tion.
1t is an open secret among poll
tical clubs that the Tories who en-
Eineered the round robin telegram
are sharpening their knives against
the premier on the indemnity is
sues. since they are positive the
amount to be asked of Germany Will
fall far short of the extravagant
snti-election promises ---.-
To the neutral observer it ap-
pears that the present political sit
uation is identical with a situation
prevailing in France. Just as there
is q growing revolt against Clemen-
ceau. SO here the psychology of un-
rest dictates that Lloyd George is
not fitted to carry on" against the
problems OF peace.
In a word. his is solely a one
man government. and Britain is tir-
ing of one-man power. II the To-
ries do resolve to break Georges
hold. Lord Robert Cecil and Andrew
Bonar Law will loom as probable
leaders in the fight. while Winston
Spencer Churchill is the dark
horse' of the coalition conserya-
tiv>a.

Sermons Heard in Washington Churches Yesterday
Washington Girls Do Not
Need to Be Chaperoned,
Says DR.. Gordon.

Girls of Washington do not need to
be chaperoned. DR.. James L. Gordon
declared last night in the First Con-
gregational Church. He qualified the
assertion by adding that this applied
to girls who have been told what
they should know" by their fathers
and mothers. in whom they should
never hesitate to confide.
The subject of DR.. Gordon's sermon
was. do the Young Women of Wash
ington Need to Be Chaperoned?" and
in this connection he gave twenty
reasons for the fall Of girls who live
in a city,
DIR. Gordon stated that love of fine
clothes has sent more young women
to shame and degradation than any
other evil. and that the girls of WASH
ington are squandering their money
on dress, which has been testified to
by a majority of the business men In
the city. He described as the limit OF
decency in a dress the point where
health and morals are endangered.
The twenty reasons given by DR..
Gordon for the mistakes made by
girls of today are as follows: Leaving
home to come to a city where they
are unknown; business associations;
, the bad standards OF the present day
III conversation, style ana etiQuette,
the wearing of extremely low-cut or
| scant clothes: love of dress; unscrupu-
lous men, who take pride in assas-
sinating a woman's character; the vul-
garity and vanity manifested in loud"
clothes on the street: the compromise
of moral character by acceptance OF
financial assistance. preference or pro-
motion; keeping company with men
who rail against social purity and call
II a myth; the "Bolshevism'' of let
| down in religion: allowing a mans po-
sition and wealth to impress; the ex-
citement OF war and patriotic fervor:
impulses Of the moment; false loves
that lead to shame and embarrass-
ment; robbers of womanhood-phys-
ical lepers; false confidence in men
protesting religion-church members:
belief in men who hide a past; igno-
rance of overchasteness; gambling
| with ones character; failing to make
any effort to protect ones self.

Sensational Murder in Tokyo Focuses
Attention of 1apan Rice Shortage

Public attention in Japan has be-
come focused upon the fact that the
nation faces again, a serious rice
shortage, a sensational murder in
Toxic being the immediate cause of
this. Murder is a comparatively
rare crime in Toxic, and this one,
involving a high government official,
graft, a trunk mystery and the food
question, has filled the columns of
the Japanese press with foreboding
comment.
Ken Yamada, government expert at
the head of the foreign rice imports
bureau of the department of agricul-
ture and commerce, played the stock
market and became involved in food
transactions that Melted him q loss
of 10000 yen. To secure funds to
cover this and to enable him to stay
in the market, he approached Benzo
Suzuki, a rice importer of Yoko-
hama, with the suggestion that he
which sum he agreed to help the
rice importer officially and secure
for him government permits to i'm
port foreign rice to an unlimited eX-
tent.
Suzuki came to Toxic on the night
of May 81, bringing $4,000 yen in
currency, and at Yamada's house met
the official, another rice dealer named
Shohei Yamada and Sozo Watanabe,
also of the rice import bureau. A
quarrel took place, whether premcd-
itated on the part of the Toxic tri-
OR merely incidentally is not yet
known. At it's height, however,
Watanabe seized a baseball bat and
smashed in Suzuki's skull. The body
was then dismembered and the pieces
packed into two trunks, after which
the trio proceeded to divide the So
600 yen. While this was. going on,
the house wner's family was away
at a moving nictnre show.

Public Lands Are
Available to Settlers

The department of the interior
calls attention to the fact that upon
the recommendation of Secretary
Lane and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston the president on June ~,
1919, signed a proclamation adding
certain areas in northern Nevada to
the Humboldt National forest and
excluding certain other areas there
from and restoring the public lands
in such excluded areas to homestead
entry in advance of settlement or
other disposition. Such lands will
become subject to entry only under
the homestead laws requiring resi-
dence at and after 8 o'clock a. M,
August II, 1919, and to settlement
and other disposition on and after
August 81, 1919.
About $4,000 acres will be restor-
ed under this proclamation in Elko
county, Nevada. These lands are
chiefly surveyed and in small scat
tered tracts. 1t is reported that
while some of the lands have posi-
BILE agricultural value they are chief
ly grazing lands.
For information concerning the re-
stored lands communications should
be addressed to the United States
land office at Elko, New.

The two accomplices of the expert
had the trunks carted to the railroad
station and checked them to a viii
lage in the north of Japan, from
which point they sent kilograms, adj
dressed to the murdered mans firm
in Yokohama and signed with his
name, stating that he would be away
for some time. At night the trunks
were THROWN into the Shinano river.
Yamada went to his government Of
flee the morning following the MUIR
der as usual.
A few days later the Toxic press
carried a small Geographic item to
the effect that a trunk containing
human remains had been found float
ing in the Shinano river, the trunk
bearing a name in Roman characters
which had not yet been deciphered.
Then Yamada remembered that one
of the trunks was marked with his
name. Knowing that the investiga-
ton would lead to him, he hurried
to the headquarters of the metropol-
itan police and made a complete con-
fession.
The prominence of the parties in
Volved and the fact that the murder
sprang from official graft in connec-
ton with the Japanese staff of life,
the price of which is steadily mount
and the visible supply rapidly dwin-
ding, has aroused all Japan, and the
rice question is again the most dis
cussed subject. Added to this, with
in the last few days the Siamese
government has placed a ban on rice
exports, thus shutting off one of the
principal sources of foreign supply,
and the imports from China are
threatened because of the ever
stronger anti-Japanese sentiment in
the Asian republic. In many quar-
ters in Japan there is genuine alarm,
while everywhere there is uneasiness,
sharpened by the recollection of the
rice riots of a year ago.

Girl Shoots Lawyer,
.Charuinu BETRAYAL

When Attorney Benjamin Burr, of
Chicago, returned after lunch to his
office one day last week, he found
pretty seventeen-year-old Margaret
Seithamier awaiting him.
"Well, what about?" asked Miss
Seithamier.
Burr smiled indifferently, and be-
fore he could speak the girl drew
revolver and opened fire. Two bull
let's hit the lawyer, one in the neck
andn one in the back above the hips.
For Gods sake, stop shooting,
Margaret" he murmured, as he sank
to the floor.
She continued firing until the six
chambers in the revolver had been
emptied.
Stanley F. suchana, machinist,
working on the third floor, found the
girl standing beside the body, the
revolver still in her hand. Her half
sister was near her.
81 wish there had been more bull
let's" she said calmly. Hes still
alive. 1 meant to kill him.
She and the half-sister were ar
rested and while in the police sta
ton word came that Burr had died.
Subsequently the girl told a long
story of alleged betrayal by Burr
while he was obtaining a divorce for
her mother two years ago.

handing that those responsible for
his death be severely punished.
It was reported at the time that
the kaiser approved the death SEN
tence passed on Captain Fryatt by

Through the action of a German
spy, Captain Fryatt and his ship,
the Brussels. belonging to the Great
Eastern Railway company, were
captured by a German destroyer in
June. 1916 while bound from Rot
terdam to Tilbury. The Brussels
carried many passengers. Soon after

of the steamship Wrexham, off
Mas Lightship, was signalled by
the German submarine U-32 to
