TELEGRAMS
ST. CROIX STATION.

London, Nov. 27th.-Mr. Lloyd George
in his reply to a temperance deputation
yesterday, did not give details of the
intended legislation in connection with
the control of liquor, but indicated that
it would be entirely experimental. The
intention of the promised Bill seems to
be to replace the existing Liquor Control
Board by a number of Commissions,
whose functions will be to perpetrate
the powers Of the Control Board to in
vestigate and advise Parliament with
regard to further legislation. as we'll as
20 establish a scientific branch to watch
the experiments proceeding not only in
Great Britain, but in other coun-
tries. The Premier explained that
the Government was aiming to pro-
coed along lines of agreement. rath-
err than provoke hostility. Declar-
ing his belief that a policy of pro-
hibition could not succeed in Eng
land, the Premier said The Americans
have attempted very drastic means
of roofing out the drink evil. 1t is
very important that we should not
attempt to make up our minds whether
that will succeed or fail, Don't let
us watch the experiment with preju-
dice. This is a bold and extreme
ly courageous experiment. which even if
it fails, will have revealed some other
better method Of dealing with the pro-
blem, therefore | Am glad it had been
tried" Throughout his speech. the Premier
strongly emphasized the power Of re-
ligious bodies to help the Government
in this important task.

Of the House Of Commons and for a long
time gave answers to a lengthy list
of questions on all subjects mostly,
however, in connection with the Eu-
ropean, economic and military situa-
ton arising from the war. One of the
most important Of the questions related
to the condition of Austria, concerning
which Lord Curzon, Coalition Union
list, Member for Battersea South, asked
whether the Supreme Council in Paris,
including the United States or Great Bri-
tain, were taking steps to deal with the
situation. The Premier declared that
the Supreme Council reached. the con
clusion that the orly comprehensive ar
rangement for a large international ere
dit, would adequately meet the situation,
and that it was, essential for the sue
cess Of such a proposal that the United
States should contribute that part of
the expenditure which would have to
be incurred in dollars. Urgent repre-
sensations have accordingly been made
to the United States Government in
this sense, the Premier added. Cues
toned regarding whose duty it would
be to summon the first meeting Of
the Council of the League of Nations
in view of the fact of kthe American
Senate's refusal to ratlfy the Yer
sailles Treaty, Mr.. Lloyd George said
that Article Four of the Peace Treaty
stipulated that the President of the
United States should summon the meet
ing. He added that he did not under
stand that this was in any way affected
by the refusal by the American Senate to
ratify the Treaty. Another enquiry made
by Mr.. James Hogge, advanced Radical,
and Scottish Home Rule Member for
Edinburgh, was whether Mr.. Lloyd
George gave any understanding to Pres
ident Wilson during the Peace Confer
ence that Mr.. Lloyd George would endea-
your to settle the Irish question. This
brought a direct negative reply. An
swering still another question, the Pre-
mier said the effect Of the American
Senate's action with regard to the Treaty
provisions for a plebiscite and other COM
missions in GERMANY, will be only indi-
rect. 1t would be necessary for the other
Powers to find a large quota of represen-
tatives for these commissions. The Pre-
mier said that the Anglo French-Ameri-
can Treaty providing for the offence of
France in case of1Wanton attack, was
contingent on ratification by the United
States Senate, but that American refus-
al to ratify the Peace treaty, would not
necessarily affect tho Tripartite Treaty,
provided the Unite.l States ratified the

With mingled feelings Of reverence

should it become necessary.
COBLENZ, May % (By The Associ-
ated Press).-Lieutenant General Hun
ter Liggett, commander of the army of
occupation, and Major General John
Hines, commander of the Sd Corps,
who were on their way to London, have
been recalled to Coblenz by orders
from American General Headquarters
Nine hundred motor trucks began to
move Tuesday midnight from west of
the Rhine to the bridgehead area. The
trucks are being distributed to various
points of advantage among the troops
holding the zone east of the Rhine
should the occasion arise for the Amer
leans to start an advance.
The recall of Generals Liggett and
Hines, it was learned in Coblenz, is
part of the new programme for the
American army in the event the Ger
mans do not accept the peace treaty.
The composite regiment of the Third
Army which was organized for partici-
patton in the Empire Day festivities in
London, in which Generals Liggett and
Hines were also to take part, is being
held in Coblenz because of the new
turn in the peace situation. The regi-
ment may be sent to London and Brus-
sells, as intended, if the peace treaty is
signed within the next few weeks.
The movement of the motor trucks
continued throughout Wednesday and
most of Wednesday night, and was the
topic of conversation among the Ger
man civilians in Coblenz Many civil
lans complained that the trucks, as
they rumbled across the Rhine bridges
at night, disturbed their sleep.
The trucks, which have a capacity
of from thirty to forty soldiers, are
fully equipped. They were taken to
concentration points of the two divis-
ions on the east bank of the Rhine.

cupation of the Goth and 9Th Divisions

Caught After Chase
and leads Guilty

Special Correspondence
NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 22.-An-
tonic Velente, on trial for murder in
the Superior Court here, escaped from
the courtroom in the midst of pro.
ceedings to-day after nearly killing his
guard. Pursued by court attendants
for several blocks he was caught and
overpowered. When rearraigned he
pleaded guilty of the crime with which
he was charged and was sentenced to
life imprisonment.
He was accused of the murder Of
Mrs. Louise Bradley, who was beaten
to death at her home in Derby.
Valente, sitting without apparent in
terest beside his guard, Deputy Sheriff
George Bradley, leaped to his feet and
seized the deputy sheriff by the throat.
Bradley is seventy years old Holding
him with one hand Valente battered
him with the other.
Valente felled the deputy and darted
through an open window.
The fugitive leaped into an auto and
was disappearing. The pursuers COM
mandeered automobiles. Valente's en-
glne stalled. He deserted it and
leaped into a grocer's wagon. He
seized reins and whip and was off,
scattering eggs, butter, canned goods
and vegetables behind him Tho
grocers wagon was overhauled, VAL
ente leaped out and raced across
vacant lot.
Thomas Leahy, engineer of the
Superior Court building, was the first
to overtake Valente. He fought fero-
ciously, but others came to Leahy's
assistance and overwhelmed Valente.
AS soon as he had been brought back
to court he got painfully to his feet
and announced he was guilty. 1t is
feared Deputy Sheriff Bradley may die
of the beating he received.

americans Ready to Act
Under Orders of Foch
Neio York Tribune
Wushtnoton Buyeou

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May %. Marshal
Foch is still the supreme commander
of the American army in France and
Germany, and if he orders it to ad-
vance further into Germany it will do
so.
While refusing to be quoted on even
Qualities following the possible refusal
of Germany to sign the peace treaty,
Secretary Baker admitted to-day that
the American forces in Europe are at
the disposition of Marshal Foch.
The army view is that the present
German government will refuse to sign
and will give place to one that will
sign, whereupon- the present govern
ment will come back into power, thus
escaping the unpopularity of signing
an obnoxious treaty. There is not
thought TO be any likelihood of further
hostilities, though there is a belief
that little more punishment would
have a salutary effect on the Germans
and would contribute powerfully to a
durable peace.
The strength of the French and
British forces now in the field is not
known here. but it is considered ample,
together with the American army, to
deal easily with any possible German
opposition. The American forces in
France and Germany are estimated at
$4,000 men, 80 per cent combatants.
of whom 250,o0o now are in Germany.
Fifty mine per cent of the air-service
originally in Europe still is there.
1t is assumed here that the moment
the Germans refuse to sign the treaty
the armistice expires and war auto
matically begins again.

Z Days Grace Is to
Quiet Foe at Home

DARlS, May 22.-The seven days'
granted the Germans before the
time limit for the submission of
replies to the Allied peace terms ex
pires will not be devoted exclusively
to the drafting of notes at Yer
sailles, but will be employed at Ber-
lin for the purpose of quieting agi-
tation there, according to newspa-
pers here.
1t is pointed out that there Is an
influential party in Germany, made
up of Independent and Majority So
cialists, which favors the signing Of
the treaty. Bankers, manufacturers
and business men generally, as we'll
as the military authorities, are said
to share this view, believing, it is
declared, that anything is prefer
able to Bolshevism, which might en-
sue if Germany refuses to agree to
the terms of peace.

PARIS, May % (By The Associated

day on reply to the German note con-
corning reparations. The note will be
handed to the German plenipotentiaries
at Versailles tomorrow and will out
line some notifications in the terms
regarding reparations as they now ap-

This will be the first modification Of
the terms of the peace treaty as agreed
upon by the plenary conference
Consideration of Germanys protest
regarding the Saar Valley also has re-
suited in slight notifications of the
terms of the award.
The Allied reply to the German note
regarding the league of nations, which
was delivered to-day, says in general
that the council considers "the propo
ais for the covenant are much NOR
practical than those of the German
government and better calculated to Sc
cure the objects of the league"
Regarding the suggestion of sepa-
rate mediation Office, this is not con-
sidered feasible, since such a body would
not have the requisite authority 10
maintain the peace of the world"
A categoric negative reply to the
German note on the economic effect of
the peace terms was sent by the Allied
council to the German delegation to-day.
The reply characterizes the German note
as exaggerated and says it indicates
failure to appreciate the enormity Of the
Germans responsibility.
The Germans are reminded that ait
is right that Germany, which was re-
sponsible for the origin Of these calan-
tiles, should make them good to the ut
most of her capacity"
Newspapers here declare the seven
day extension granted yesterday for
the submission of German replies to the
Allied peace terms will be the last
concession as to time made to the enc
my. If this is true it is expected the
treaty may be signed between June IL
and June IS.

SENATOR KENYoN's CONTRAST.
ING VIEWS.

Just what is the purpose Of the
Kenyon bill now in hearing at Wash
iington would be hard to deduce from
Senator Kenyon's own statements. In
the bill itself the purpose is set forth
: as follows: "To stimulate the pro-
, duction. sale, and distribution Of live
stock and live stock products, and for
other purposes" This stimulation Of
live stock production may be well
taken as bid to the consumer to hope
for lower meat prices.
But he has a different thought to
present to producers. In a letter adj
dressed recently to the Wallace Farm
er he says: 81 do not believe myself
that the situation as to restricted
consumption is going to be changed
very much, and there will be the neces-
ssity Of less production" OF course
less production would supposedly mean
higher prices for live stock, but also
higher prices for meat.
Are either the general public or the
farmer going to be fooled by this
method of playing up the one against
the other? 1t is not likely. Farmers
and consumers are both coming to the
anoelt1atinn that hamnaring the pack.
