LLOYD GEORGE OF
TALE ABOUT CRISIS
Premier Denies Prospect of
Quarrel With France or
Any German Deal.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
| Copyright. 1s2o.
| LONDON. October 15.-Prime Minis
ter Lloyd Georges observations upon
the renorted Anglo French crisis and
his own disposition to form an alli-
ance with Germany reach the writer
through an indirect but reliable
source They may be put in practical
1y his own words:
There is no Anglo-French crisis.
To call friendly discussion a crisis
is idiotic AS for Great Britain's
Germany, the idea is ridiculous. What
we want is an end to such alliances
and an alliance of humanity to pre-
serve liberty and peace in the world.
Spa Meeting Agreement.
Mr.. Lloyd George continued:
ut will be remem bered that at the
Spa conference the British and French
delegates agreed to meet the Germans
again. The next meeting was to have
been held at Geneva during the sum-
mer, but it was not held because of
the opposition of the French. NJ.
Miiierand. who was then premier. did
not feel that he could keep the conf
dence of the French people if he
met the Germans again to consider
Recently the British government re-
opened the question. fulfilling the pledge
given at Spa. suggesting that British
and French experts meet the Germnn
experts at Cologne. Thus far NJ. Mil
lerand has not accepted this sugges-
ton and nobody here knows what his
final course in the matter will be. In
any event, however. the British govern
ment will not quarrel with the French
or attempt to impose its will on the
French government or people 1t will
simply let them go their own way.
IF ever Great Britain has relations
with Germany. independently of France,
it will not be from the British angle
alone. but from the angle of the league
of nations.
Views as to Future.
Again. in the matter of the league
! opinion between the British and the
French governments. The British hold
that, ultimately. the Germans must
| be admitted to the league; the French
say, IF the Germans come in, we go
out But the British do not take
! this threat seriously. They believe
| that the Germans will come in and
| that the French will not go out The
| British do not see how the French
could afford to go out of the league,
since by so doing they might isolate
themselves in Europe"
Another thing in connection with
| British is her alliance with Belgium,
which she declines to report to the
league. However, Lloyd George ex-
poets all these things to work them
selves out without any sensational
idenouement.

FOOD CRISIS IN PORTUGAL
ALARMS GOVERNMENT

LISBON. October 1.-THE govern
ment is trying to find a way to relieve
the serious shortage of all necessary
articles of food, as the discomfort of
the people in face of the present sit
uation is daily becoming more mani
fest. The problem is a difficult one,
as no sooner are the articles tabu-
lated at fixed price than they total
~ disappear from the market.
Officials were appointed recently to
search shops and even the shopkeI-
ers private houses for the vanished
foodstuffs, including potatoes, oil,
lard, rice coal. sugar and bacon. Many
hidden stocks were seized and heavy
fines inflicted on the transgressors.
Lately the searches have had practi-
cally no results, and the strain Of
living assumes alarming proportions.
DEGREES have been issued by the
government granting free transit and
commerce throughout Portugal of rice
and butter, two products which have
been unobtainable. Free importation
of rice. maize, potatoes and vegetables
also is decreed.
In view of the utter lack of sugar
to supply the population of Portugal,
the government has forbidden, two
days a week, the sale of cakes or
pastry Matches have reappeared on
the market by Intervention of the
government after a period in which
none was obtainable.

ATAMAZINC RATE

The ''guv'ment" is taking the mic
out of tonics at an amazing rate. and
when the annual report of the inter-
nal revenue bureau is available.
many of them will be found to have
lost their charm. A large decrease
in the number of permits issued to
the manufacturers of patent med
ic:nes will be revealed in this report,
it was learned today
Whether the popularity of patent
"cure-alls" will vanish with the per-
mitS is a moot question, but it is GER
tain that many who became invalids
with the passage of the Eolstead
prohibition enforcement law will face
unprecedented difficulty in prescrib-
ing for their ills.
Since the "obit" of Mr. Barleycorn,

REAL COMMUNITY BUILDING

Consider the tumbeweed and the oak
For the tunbeweed grows green. It forishes
in spring and Then the fall and the early gales
of winter. What of the tumbeweed? Either and yon flies
the praies, the sport of every vagra breeze No
wind too light to stir it, obstruction small to halt it.
But does the oak go swing around moving part of the
autunnal landscape? Not that any has noticed The
oak stays put 1t deep m the soil It member of
colony Of oaks that have grown up together that have wealth
cred the winds of winter together.
The tumbleweed purpose if it calls attention to
the peranence of the oak and if it drives home the fact
that the practice of roofing deep into the soil has its virtues
In these times there to be great many of the
tumbeweed variety being swept hther and thther There
many tbeweeds scryng about that the oaks may
be overlooked Start to count them though and there are
plenty of oaksen who have struck their roots deep into
their home soil
One of the present day problems is whether it is worth
While to attempt the task of increasing the number OF oaks
and decreasing the number of tubeweed The first thing
to be noticed about the oak is that it of slow growth 1t
does not spring up in day. The thing is that
tablishes itself by taking root.
Community building oak growing. Raising colonies of
turnbeweeds will not do the trick.
Before begin to root deeply in community they
must have abiding interest in it. That community must
be than chance fence into which they have been
whred. Too many communities are simply stopping places
for the people that live in them In driving home the fact
that community building brought about by real community
lite is constructive work. the present day Community
Service movement has performed distinct service Com
mun1ty building oaks A lack of it means more
tu1nbeweeds.
