Lloyd George
Defends Acts of
The Irish Police
Premier Says Officers Do Not
Shoot or Bomb Houses
Without Proper
PrOvocatiOn.

Carnarvon, Wales, Oct. o.-Pre-
mier Lloyd George, IN a speech re-
ferred to reprisAls in Ireland. He
argued that the police do not bomb
houses and shoot men without pro-
vocation. The premier said 23S po-
licemen had been shot, of whom 100
had been killed, and the patience Of
the police had given way with the
result that they hit back.
He declared that if, as was con-
tended, there was war in Ireland,
then the war must be waged on botf:
sides. Bit when policemen were shot
IN the back by Sim Feiners. he said,
it was not war, but murder.
He asked whether, under the ter
roriosm which made it impossible to
obtain evidence, it was any wonder
the police shot the murderers.
"We must therefore restore order
by stern methods" he asserted, "be-
cause we cannot permit the country
to fall into complete anarchy"
He said the murderous gangs
which now tyrannize Ireland must
be broken and the government is
forced to compete with the treacher-
Gus tactics of the Sim Feiners.
Fears Home Rule.
The premier said Arthur Griffith.
founder of the Sim Fcin, whom he
characterized "a very able and dis
tinguished Irishman," in a recent
newspaper statement had showed
great concern at the prospect OF
what he thought was going to be ar
attack on his own life. | do not be-
lieve there is any attack being con-
certed against his life, but / never
saw a word from Arthur Griffith
displaying any indignation at the
killing of 100 policemen"
Mr.. Lloyd George said that If
Ireland were given complete domin-
ion home rule, it would mean
she could have conscription and
then England with ber army OF
100000 might be confronted with All
Irish army of half million. He
contended dominion home rule for
Ireland meant conscription for Eng
land. The government, he said
Nouiu iSoioh Oil attNliiPl ~ XIV Z
Ireland a separate navy and army.
The premier charged Ireland had
assisted the German submarine and
declared that, although little had
been said about it, Ireland was
Great Britain's enemy during the
war.
Favors Present Bill.
No one wanted to manage Ire
lands domestic affairs, he said. The
present home rule bill, he added,
would have given Ireland every
possible facility to manage her own
domestic affairs.
Mr.. Lloyd George asserted that
in 1917 and 1918 the Irish were con-
spring i'll connection with German
submarine operations and that there
were documents discovered on men
arrested in 1918 showing they were
prepared within two months of the
German offensive (of which they
kenw) to raise a huge force in Ire
land "to stab Brcat Britain in the
back when she was engaged in a
life and death struggle for world
freedom"

Confident of Early Release.
But Denies Any Promise of
Relief for Returning
To Nebraska.

Lincoln, Oct. 9.-(Speciai)-B
IN his old home at the penitentiary
from which he took a leave Of abb
sence on furlough last December,
Byrl c. Kirk is again at work on
his old Job in the tailor shop feeling
confident that he will not have to
serve out his sentence.
Kirk stated this morning that he
was not promised anything if he
would return to Nebraska. and was
not expecting IN early release He
said he was innocent of the charge
of murder, that he was convicted on
circumstantial evidence only, but
further than that would not discuss
his future plans. He said he could
have carried the matter of his re-
turn to this state into the courts and
at least have delayed coming back,
bu had no money to- fight th- req
uiSition and what little he did have
he desired his wife to have.
Kirk said that he had never talked
over the matter Of his release with
either Governor McKelvie or Acting
Governor Bushce. He could not dis
tinctly remember ust how he got in
touch with attorneys in the case, but
it was his recollection that his wife
looked after the case, and he was
sure that they had been paid only
$3.50 for their work.
He said that he did not know OF
the turlOugh until the Saturday night
previous to his release and knew
nothing whatever regarding it, only
that he was released, went to Lin
coin and bought ticket for Des
Moines.
Kirk said that later he might be
able to talk more about the case,
but just now he was rather dazed
and did not care to discuss the mat
ter while in that condition.

Columbus, o., Oct. l0.-(Special

buckeye commonwealth il is hot
enough to fry political eggs on al

cast, too, is a rising thermometer.
The setting is unique i'll national

no matter how it goes in November.
Harding and Cox are natives of
Ohio. Both have lived there their
entire lives thus far. Their neigh

ueighbors, too, are of the gossipy
sort-and scrappy. If you want a

There YOU learn to know him as
his cronies and neighbors know
him, and you find out just how he
is judged by the men who have
fought for and against him in the
politics of the last 20 years.
Well. then, what sort of man
is Cox? from the Ohio standpoint?
Docs he measure to the great Of
flee of presidency? Is he fully equip
ped to stand in the shoes Of Cleve-
land. Mckinley and Roosevelt? Is
he big? Is he able? Is he states

He Is Too Shifty.
Governor Cox has a PLEASING per-

he is roughly criticised just now for
his general lack of sincerity. His
intellectual honesty is impeached.
He is too nimble; too sh.fty; too
smart, say those Ohio people who
know his past and watch his pres
ent course on the stump.

Governor Riggs was. here on his

asserted. Under the present law .
the pulp makers cannot enter the
reservation with any certainty that
they will be allowed to stay.
Alaska's great for sts stretch over
approximately $4,000 square mites,
an area nearly equal in size to the

PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES TURN
EYES TO GEORGIA


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
early presidential primary in Geor-
gia has caused Democratic candi-
dates to turn their eyes towards that
state, with indications Of a prompt
showdown, particularly on the IN
derwood candidacy. Published state
ments indicating that Senator Un-
derwood had tacitly consented to the
use of his name in Georgia are like
ly to bring on lively complications,
including the presentation of the
name of Senator Hoke Smith by his
friends in the state. Meanwhile, the
Champ Clark, Palmer, Hoover, Cox,
Marshall and other booms may be
expected to show some life in Geor-
gia.

There is talk here of presenting
to Georgians the names Of Vice
President Marshall. Attorney Gen
eral Palmer and Hoover. ~. .,.-
| The suggestion that the name of
Senator Underwood be presented to
the Georgia electorate for president
has brought forth the query as to
whether this is just a scheme of
certain politicians to enter the Geor-
gia convention with plan to cap
ture the delegates and fight, under
cover, the position of Senator Smith,
using Senator Underwood's name
simply as stalking horse to get
delegates. Senator Underwood is
known to have advised his friends
that he does not desire the nomina-
ton at San Francisco this year. and
that he will not be a candidate, but
that he is a candidate now In the
election about to be held in Alabama
h for the Sante.
Senator Hoke Smith has received
within the past two days number
of letters and kilograms urging that,
if the name of Senator Underwood
lis used in the Georgia primary, he
will owe it to those who oppose the
League of Nations covenant without
reservations to permit the use of his
name for the presidential nomina-
ton. ",,s3 +s.. 2"
