Breach Between Lloyd George
and Northcliffe Widened
by Formers Speech
Before Parliament.

London, April l7.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Open warfare be-
tween David Lloyd-George,. Bris-
ish prime minister, and Lord North
cliffe, England's foremost publish
er, is to the political world the most
interesting result of the premier's
flying visit to London from the
Paris peace conference and his
speech before parliament Wednes-
day.
Lord Northcliffe and Baron Bea-
verbrook, who served as the official
witness" for the Canadian gov
ernment at the front in 1916, and
later became chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster and minister of
information, always have been cred
tied with being the powers behind
the scenes who brought about the
retirement of Premier Asquith and
the succession of Lloyd-George to
the head of the cabinet.
Newspapers Shift Attitude.
Northcliffe's newspapers gave
Lloyd-George general support
throughout his management of the
war, but when the, general election
followed the armistice they shifted
somewhat to the attitude of friendly
critics. Only during the latest de-
velopments of the peace conference
have they become sharply critical
of Mr.. Lloyd-George's leadership.
The premier, in his speech in the
house of commons credited this fact
to the disease of vanity" and point
.ed1y hinted that it was due to dis
appointment on Lord Northcliffe's
part that he had not been appointed
OH the peace delegation. The pre-
mier referred to the peace terms
Lord Northcliffe recommended in
the Times before the peace confer
ence began, saying:
II am prepared to make some al
loWance when a man is laboring un-
der keen sense of disappointment.
However unjustified and however
ridiculous the expectations may be,
under those circumstances he al
ways is apt to think the world is
badly run"
Times Makes Sharp Retort.
The Times today replied with a
slashing attack, accusing Lloyd
George of overlooking reports pre-
pared by experts.
1t is currently said by i1fs,-oo
leagues in Paris" the Times de-
clares, that while he is able to
read and write he does neither"
After saying that the record OF
the Times during the war speaks
fer itself, the newspaper apparent
ly threatens a future attack, say
ing some points of his war rec
ords require to be more July
known"
The Evening News, a Northclitfe
publication, today prints cartoon
of the premier lowering over West
minister in an airplane, labeled "Hot
Air" with bombs for the North
cliffe papers.
Mr.. Lloyd George and Lord
Northcliffe probably are the two
most influential personal forces in
politics and now that they are
fercely and publicly aFwar the ef-
feet on Mr.. Lloyd Georges poli.i-
cal fortunes and the test of the i'll

mark the beginning of a new po-

which are being discussed with the
liveliest interest. Each man is an
eager fighter, and the battle between

Debt of Honor.

American patriotism does not
depend on excitement, but is some
thing deep in the fibre of our being.
And this fifty Liberty loan is a ma
tional debt of honor, the most sa-
cred that was ever contracted by
a nation.
People. will buy the notes for
that reason. They will buy to prove
themselves worthy of the sacrifices
of our boys and our people. It is
true that the price we paid was in
finitely small when compared with
the magnitude of the conflict and
the heavy toll paid by the other
principal nations engaged i'll it. We
ought to buy because of gratitude
that so small price was demand
ed of JUS.
1--WE went into the war for three
reasons, to defend American rights,
to destroy despotism and to Sc
cure peace for the world. Any OF
these reasons was sufficient for war.
We won all of them i'll short time
and at a comparatively small price.
you men who are giving your
time to selling this loan are doing
patriotic service of the greatest
importance. | know you will sue

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take glass of Salts to flush Kid
neys if Bladder bothers you
Drink lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts Of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri-
tation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
ithia, and has been used for genera
tons to flush clogged kidneys and slim
ulate them to normal activity; also to
neutralize the acids in the urine so
that it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia'
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Advt
