Lloyd Georges speech was declared
to be one Of the most eloquent and
sensational ever heard in the house of
commons. Primarily. he arose to de-
fend himself against the attacks Of his
critics, and he not only did that, but
hurled defiance at those critics. He
declared that his prediction pledges
Of exacting full payment from Ger
many and furnishing the former kaiser
and other guilty Huns were to be
kept; that the peace commissioners
wanted q peace that was just and
sternly severe but not vindictive; that
military Intervention in Russia would

MAYO TO GET GAY TO
WRITE OF STATION
New Orleans Navy Yard Will Not BE
Discontinued.

John p. Mayo, president of the
Federal Employees Union, No. II,
is in receipt of a letter from Senator
Gay advising that assurance has
been reiterated by Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Roosevelt that the
New Orleans navy yard will not be
discontinued. Senator Gay tells of
point call made by himself, Sena-
tor Ransdell and Congressman Du-
pre- and O'Connor on Mr.. Roosevelt
and Admiral Burrafe at which they
they were advised the local yard
would be retained in operation.
That New Orleans is to be the
home port of the Eagle squadron to
be sent into Mexican and West In
dian waters is also announced in
Senator Gays letter to Mr.. Mayo. 1t
has been found, he further states,
that the condition of the Wheeling,
the Castine, the Sacramento and the
Machias has been found so bad as
not to warrant their repair. They
will be scrapped, Senator Gay writes.
His letter to Mr.. Mayo follows:
United States Senate.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 4, 1919.
MIR. John P. Mayo. President.
Federal Employees Union, No.
New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir:
"On receipt of telegram from your
self and other representatives of la
Dor at the New Orleans navy yard
at New Orleans, Senator Ransdell,
Congressman Dupre and O'ConnOr
and myself called and had an inter-
view with Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt of the Navy and Admiral Bur-
rage, Secretary Daniels being absent.
I'VE were assured that there was
no possibility of the navy yard being
closed. although of course, proper
tionate decreases would be made,
owing to reduced appropriations and
diminishing requirements of the
navy.
With reference to the Wheeling,
Castine and Sacramento, it has been
decided by the department that these
vessels were not worth repairing
and have been ordered to be scrap
ped. This applies also to the Ma
chiaS.
I'VE were also informed that the
eagle ships are soon to be sent to
Mexican and West Indian waters;
that New Orleans will be their home
port, and that every effort will be
made to give our yard all possible
work.
every truly yours,

ABSENCE OF GIRL Is INEN-
Planned.
Dominic Believes Missing Daughter
l. Held Against Her Will.

That his daughter, Mary, is being
held somewhere against her will is
the only theory upon which Guy Do
mimic, 1401 TeChe street, can explain
her mysterious absence from home
since July p.
Mary Dominic, pretty young Ital-
ian girl, went to the City Hall on
July p and paid her fathers taxes.
She never returned home, and for
two weeks combined efforts of the
entire city police department, the
family and friends have failed to
discover one clue as to her where
abouts.
Somebody knows where she u.s."
declared Mr.. Dominic Thursday af-
ternOon. He believes she is alive
and has met no serious mishap, but
is probably held a prisoner for some
mysterious reason. If she had met
an accident, it is believed, it would
have been discovered.
! No reason for her abduction could
! be assigned by her father, who has
received no demand for ransom He
scouts the suggestion that she has
eloped, declaring that she had no
sweetheart, and if she had eloped
she would not have failed to let her
! family hear from her.
Mr.. Dominic has abandoned all
hope that she went on an unexpected
! visit to some friend. Born and rear
! ed in New Orleans, all her best
! friends live here, and inquiry of
everyone who might share her sec
rets have failed to disclose any Wis
+ it. A letter received yesterday from
Mr.. Dominio's son in Texas said that
she had not been to his home. nor
had he heard from her since before
she left home.
That Miss Dominic had no idea
other than that she would return
home in the afternoons is proved.
friends say, by the fact that she left
all her possessions in their place.
Not piece of clothing was taken.
and the only money she had was
few dollars with which she had plan

throw any light on her disappear
