IS GREAT CONCILIATOR
London Newspaper Indi-
dicates Movement for
Him is Strong,
Az Associated Pressl J

LONDON March 19.-There is a
strong feeling in political and diplo-
matte circles in Paris in favor of in
viting Herbert H. Asquith, former
British premier, toSbecome the first
president of the League of Nations,
according5to the Daily Mirror.
5sAsquith was British premier at the
time the war broke out and held that
position until the attacks upon the
way the army in France was being
supplied brought about the political
upheaval which landed Lloyd George
in the premiership and at the head of
war cabinet which concentrated all
the power and resources of the en-
pire in few hands. AsQuith is re-
garded as one of the ablest statesmen
Of the present day and in British poll
tics his strong point was his ability to
keep nominally hostile political
groups harmoniously at work for a
common cause.

-FOUR LITTLE GIRLS
ARE SENT away
Unusually Pathetic Scene
in Juvenile Court This
Morning.

For little girls in short skirts be-
tween the ages of 12 and Is were
sentenced to the Industrial School
this morning in Juvenile court. These
children have been staying for the
last eight days in the Detention
rooms on parole. Until the last few
days their conduct was all that it
should be, but since then they have
caused quite little trouble, it was
thought best to send them to Selem
this afternoon. An unusually sao
scene took place when both children
and parents broke down. So much
sobbing was hard on the Judge who
maintained his stand in spite of much
pleading. He felt the Industrial
school was the place for the girls. 1t
is understood that though bad influ
ence and improper environment, the
girls have been led to wrong doing.
A mother of one of the girls cannot
remain at home because she is EN-,
ployed.
Judge Vincent promised that II the
young people behaved he would do all
that he could TO nave them removed
after a short period. The girls will
receive good training while at Salem
and will be watched carefully.
Many a girl has been turned from
evil ways through such training in
time. Not only mothers present this
morning we're grieved but all other
spectators and when the little girls
bade their parents goodbye in the
hall for the last time, many eyes
we're wet. Parents followed their
children down the stairs for last
goodbye words.
Ensign oiBeirne took them back
to the Detention Rooms where they
were given lunch and they left on the
noon train.
