sTARKE REGRETS MR.. LONG.
Bradfal Telegraph Pays tribute tt
New palatka Citla6.

In the last issue of, the Bradford
County Telegraph, published at
Starke, the following appears rela-
tive to the change of residence OF
Hon. A. V. Long, states attorney for
this circuit, who has moved to Palat-
ka to make his residence:
Readers of the Telegraph in Starke
and throughout Bradford county will
regret to learn of Mr.. Longs inten-
ticn to move away. He has lived
here since very early childhood. He
studied law in the office of Judge j.
I. Wills, then practicing attorney,
and was admitted to the bar before
reaching his majority. He has prac-
ticed here uninterruptedly for more
than twenty years, except for the sew
ell months given in 1898 to the SER
vices of our country as a first lieu
tenant in the Florida Regiment of the
volunteer army called into the field for
the war with Spain. All these years
hu has been regarded as one of the
leading lawyers of this part of Flor
ida, and as a citizen he has been held
in the very highest esteem by the en-
tire community. His removal is re-
garded as a very distinct loss to
Starke and Bradford county and
while his friends wish him the suc-
cess in his new home that his ability
and character merit, they cannot help
harboring the hope that he will some
day find it to advantage to return to
the old home town.
Mr.. Longs refined and cultured
family will also be greatly missed in
Starke.

No Compromise Says Lodge.
Hope of any early ratification of the
treaty seemed remote today follow
ing the announcement of Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader, that
there's no room for further COM
premise between Americanism and su-
per-government of the league. All
l ask now is that we may have op-
portunity to lay those reservations be-
fore the American people, he declar-
ed. ITO that great and final tribunal
alone would l appeal.
Belief is generally expressed among
Republican senators that the treaty
must go into the national campaign.

Former Ambassador to Italy.

-N~~~~SS~NNN1
(Writtensfor the United Press.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-I consid-
or defeat of the peace treaty as an
immeasutable misfortune. Those
who defeated 1T have assumed the
most Terrible responsibility which any
men have assumed in our time. Its
effect must be to plunge Europe into
even deeper chaos, from which Am
erica can hardly escape entirely. /,
Those who were most against the
treaty and the league of nations were
the Germans, the extreme Sinn Fem
ers, the J.. W. w. and the bolsheyists.
Those who have just killed the treaty.
however sincere their motives, have
given these cause for great rejoic-
ing.
No one maintains that the treaty or
the league is perfect. But every one
knows in his heart that it was bet
ter treaty than was hoped for one
year ago. Just one year ago and a
little more, America and the whole
world We're holding their breath at
what was happening in France, We
were vowing to God that if peace
were vouchsafed US, that thing
which was dest1 Dying the world and
had already swept away so many mil
lions Of men, should never come again.
The ruins of France and Italy still
are smoking. Our men were dying
by thousands in the Argonne and ding
other fronts to save the world, and
it was saved.
Lloyd Georges Only Hope.
l was present when David LLOYD
George laid the treaty of peace on
the liable of the house of commons and
DECLARED that the league of nations
was the only means of future safety
N$ight and that he could not mag
me how any sensible man could op-
pose its being fully tried out. Since
that time the treaty has been approx
ed by all of the allies.
But the Senate Of the United States
has rejected alike the treaty and the
league Of nations. Thus the United
States and China stand out alone
against the treaty and the league.
China may hive defensible reason
hut what reason have we? If the
treaty did not protect America, then
human intelligence has no sound ba-
sis.
l came home recently from a coun-
try where the burning question was
how to get bread for the people for
tie following day and how to get
coal for the following week to pre-
vent closing down all industrial es-
adjustments and revolution.
found here that the burning questions
were the omission of the president to
appoint certain persons on the peace
commission and the cession of GER
tain claims to the Shantung peninsula
to Japan in accordance with the con-
ventions which England and France
had already signed.
Today am asked what will be the
feat of the peace treaty by the Am
erican senate.
Europe is in a condition bordering
on chaos and this is not likely t.
bring order there. The first thir
will be Germany's relief from the
actions of the treaty. Can i
