Lloyd George Declares That
Determination of Eastern
Boundary Will Be Matter of
Some Difficulty.

LONDON, Feb. Is. (By the Associated
Press. Premier Lloyd George spoke
again yesterday OF the general peace
situation.
The premier, defending the proceed
ings Of the peace conference, said the
government had been d~evotinE its time
to speeding up agreements. He was
sanguine that a complete agreement
would be reached concerning the Ger
mar western boundary, but the eastern
boundary was a different matter, I'm
til the commission sent TO examine the
matter reported, the allies would be in
no position to make demands upon Ger
many. The conference was unanimous,
he said, that Germany had forfeited all
rights to her colonies.
Mr.. Lloyd George contended that with
regard TO indemnities the British gov
eminent was in advance OF any gov
eminent, as It was the first to appoint
a committee to deal with this matter.
He declared that there had never
been any proposal advanced at the
peace conference to recognize the Boil
shevists. Russia was easy to dogma
tiZe about, but difficult to deal with.
He admitted that the horrors of Boil
shevism were so great that there was
a sense Of disgust when they came to
deal with its leaders, but 1t was useless
to blind their eyes to the real facts.

With $4,000 which Theodore Dough-
erty, ship broker, has just paid Mrs.
Frances B. Dougherty, who obtained a

City Tax Rate Limit
Opposed at Meeting
OF Mayors of State
Stone of Syracuse Objects to
Wild Spending of Money
on Experimental Reform;
Health Conditions Better

SCHENECTADY, June 10.-Oppos-
tion to limiting city tax rates, ade-
quate laws for controlling appropria-
tions for city schools, and non-inter-
ference by the state and organized
groups Of city employees in the admin
istration of city affairs were advocated
by Major Walter r. Stone Of Syracuse,
president of the State Conference of
Mayors and Other City Officials, in his
opening address this morning at the
tenth anniversary Of the organization.
Mayor Stone expressed the belief that
those who are advocating limitations
on municipal tax levies are applying
the remedy at the wrong place. 1t is
not the power of the city to raise funds
that should be limited, he contended,
but the activity Of those who are try
ing to force the city to spend beyond
its ability. Continuing, he said:
ain my opinion the only way to hold
municipal expenditures within bounds
is to make every man and woman d-
ISCtly Sud1o luc DuIuGn OIL CdHdClOn,
and to stop the activities Of groups of
municipal employees who use their po-
litical influence for purely selfish pur-
poses. By so doing those who advocate
costly municipal reforms will be forced
to consider the expense their plans in
volve and which they will have to
share, and those officials who are di-
rectly accountable to the people for the
cost of municipal government may ex-
ercise their judgment unhampered by
the political influence either at home
or at Albany of organized groups of
civil employees"
Mayor Stone summarized as follows
the cooperative work of the cities dur
ing the last session Of the Legislature:
"Ninetysix per cent of the bills the
cities opposed through the conference
were defeated, and 32 per cent of the
measures they advocated are now laws.
AS result Of the cooperation of the
cities mandatory bills, involving an an
nual tax burden Of at least S25,O00,OOO
we're killed, and the two tax bills which
we worked hard to have enacted are
laws and will increase the revenue of
the cities approximately $28,00,000
year"

Ghost Ship, Sunk
Four Times, Here
Bermudian actually Went
to Bottom Once, but
British Saluaged Her

The oldest member Of the Bench
Club, that fraternity Of old seafaring
men, who daily throng the Battery sea-
wall and gaze dreamily into the mists
rising from the Narrows, rubbed his
eyes in amazement as the steamer Ber-
mudian threaded her way between
shrieking tugs and other craft in the
upper bay yesterday.
Seems as though they always como
back" he remarked. "Goshami ghty,
thought sure she was In Davy Jones's
locker"
The oldest member was not alone in
his speculations. Four times the Ber-
mudian has been reported sung, either
by mines or hostile torpedoes. AS a
matter Of fact she was sunk only once,
and then accidentally. 1t happened
off Alexandria, while coaling. Due to
the hot weather one Of the ash shutes
had been left open, and, as the Ber-
mudian listed, the water poured in
through the open hole. She was
pumped out by British ship salvagers.
She sailed more than two years ago
with ship load of negroes from
Jamaica, who were going overseas to
join the British colors.
On April II last she had her most
exciting run. Nearly seven hundred
of the Russian nobility thronged her
decks and saloons, having escaped
from Russia to Constantinople. Among
the passengers was the former Dow
ager Empress, who is a sister to Queen
Alexandria of England; twenty Rus
sian generals, more than two score Of
Russian princes and princesses, all of
whom were dressed in rags. They had
escaped from prison near Odessa and
made their journey to the little port
Of Yalta on the Black Sea, where q
British vessel brought them in two
trips to Constantinople.
Since the Bermudian was taken over
for transport duty by the British Ad-
mralty she has carried nearly $4,000
troops. She was formerly in the New
York and Bermuda passenger service

Crimes on Mexican
Border Are Told OF
In Ford Libel Suit
Newspaper Mans Expert
ences Show Hatred of
Americans and Outrages
Laid to Unpreparedness
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, June TO-
Norman Walker, representative of The
Associated Press at Ell Paso, Tex, was
witness to-day in the libel suit
brought by Henry Ford against "The
Chicago Tribune" for $1,O00,0OO.
Mr.. Walker told Of his ten years. ex-
perience as a newspaper man on the
Mexican border. He was acquainted
with most of the Mexican chieftains,
he said; he had interviewed Villa upon
numerous occasions, witnessed the
meeting between Presidents Taft and
Diaz on the International Bridge and
saw General Obregon shake his fist
under the nose of General Hugh Scott
after q conference in a private car in
Juarez in 1916, at which Scott tried to
get an understanding for the suppress
sion of border raids.
Walter also told of his capture by
Mexican bandits in 1911, and of having
been ordered to be shot by the COM
mander of the guard. Later he was
taken to Juarez for execution, but was
pardoned by the Mexican Federal gen
eral in command, whose life he after
ward assisted in saving when the Ma
dero rebels captured the town and
threatened to execute him.
Walker also described insults directed
at President Taft by Mexicans when
Mr.. Taft went to Juarez for a confer
ence with President Diaz in 1909, when
he was called a "fat pig" and other un-
complimentary names, thus showing, ac-
cording to the witness, the hatred Of
Mexicans for Americans
He admitted having heard rumors
that German propaganda was back Of
the Mexican raids on American soil,
but his investigation never developed
anything definite in this regard he said
The object Of "The Tribune's" coun-
sci in offering this testimony was to
show that the murders and other crimes
along the border resulted from the
unprepared conditions which existed
at that time, made considerably worse
by the full PACED advertisements of
Mr.. Ford against wars in general and
preparedness in particular, which, they
contend, constituted certain kind of
anarchy and justified "The Tribune"
in calling the automobile manufacturer
an anarchist.
