AMBUSH LORD FRENCH
ON ROAD NEAR DUBLIN
Returns Shots of AssaiIants Who
HurI Bombs on Party-1 Kill
ed, 2 Wounded in Battle.

London-A terrific sensation was
caused in London by the news of the
attempted assassination of Viceroy
French just outside the Ashtown Gate
of Phoenix Park, Dublin. His motor
car was ambushed Two shots hit it,
one passing in front Of the viceroy
His military guard in an accompanying
auto returned the fire.
The soldiers then rushed toward
the plantation whence the shooting
came and found one man dead. On
the body were a revolver and two
bombs. The rest of the desperadoes
supposed to have numbered from five
to twenty, seem to have got safely
away, but the finding of their dea0
companion is expected to give the
clue to his confederates.
The most serious feature of the
crime for the viceroy is that it in.
dicates that some one j.. his enterr
age must have given away the time anG
direction of his drive. The utmost
secrecy is observed as to his intended
movements, which are known only tt
a very few around him, but the would
be assassins seem to have been fully
and accurately informed in advance OF
his drive as they must have concealed
themselves some time ahead in the
plantation from which they attempted
to kill him.
Lord French's life was saved pri
marily by the armOr plated sides OF
the automobile in which he was riding
it was learned
He fired several shots at his assail
ants, who escaped on bicycles. They
were pursued by the military, who
fired until their ammunition was ex
hauSted.

PEACE BULLETINS

The adoption Of peace resolution
which will be presented to the senate
for action Immediately after the holi-
days, was formed.
All thought of enacting q concurrent
resolution which would relieve the
President of responsibility in the mat
ter of bringing about peace by ieglsia-
ton, independent of the treaty, has
been set aside by Senator Lodge, Sen
ator Knox and other sponsors of the
peace-by -by-resolution plan. These SEN
ators are entirely willing to place into
the Presidents hands the power OF
approving or vetoing the resolution
after Congress has passed it.

ALLIES WILL NOT WAIT
ON AMERICAN ACTION
Britain Refuses to Believe That
United States Will Dishonor
Wilson's Signature.

London.-Importuned by the house
of commons TO lay the. cards on the
table, Premier Lloyd George eloquently
reviewed world conditions at the end
of the first year of peace in a speech
so powerful that even the opposition
cheered, and so frank that he spoke
his mind about the American peace
treaty delay.
He began by asserting that world af-
fairs were so intlammable that one inJu-
dicious word might start conflagra-
ton. He declared he did not intend
to chide or reproach America, but be-
fore he ended his speech he put every
thing into rock bottom language and
called q spade a spade.
The premiers speech throughout re-
f1ected the allies, and particularly
Britain's aggravation at American in
decision and at one point he plainly
showed evaporation at the American
method of despatching emissaries who
lack authority to commit their nation.
With reference to the Anglo
American-French conventions, he said
that the British government had given
no undertaking on the subject, for the
the simple reason that it could not
imagine that the United States would
dishonor the signature of its great
representative.
The premier further said there was
complete agreement among the allies
on the question of non-intervention in
Russia, but that discussions were pro-
ceeding between the United States and
Japan concerning future action should
the Bolshevik advance reach to any
considerable degree eastward. He add
ed that it was impossible to make
peace with Russia because of the civil
war existing there.
The premier announced also that
Premier Nitti of Italy has been invited
to meet him (George) and Premier
Clemenceau, and possibly an American
representative, in Paris in the course
of a few days, when an effort would
be made to settle the question on
Fiume.
Lloyd George defended the delay in
making peace 18th Turkey on the
ground of the necessity of knowing
what the United States intended to do.
France and Great Britain, he said, al
ready had heavy burdens, while the
United States was vnder no great CX-
traneous burdens and had her gigantic
resources.
