LLOYD GEORGE TRICKERY.

Premier Lloyd George, in an
address at CanarvOn, Wales, last
Saturday, undertook a defense of
the British Government $ course
in Ireland. Like most of. the
British Premier's political pro-
nouncements this one was char
acterized by trickery and down.
right falsehood. 1t is now pretty
generally agreed throughout the
world that Lloyd George is about
the last word in political knavery.
In his speech in Wales he came
out definitely in favor of the cam
paigns Of the brutal Black and
Tans in Ireland. He represents
them as resisting murder
gang" composed, Of course, of
Sim FeinerS. But he was careful
to hide the fact that the Irish PEG.
pie had been goaded into attacks
on the police by long continued
brutality and oppression. We all
recall how piousiy Lloyd George
praised the Belgians for doing
precisely the same thing to the in
vaders Of their land that the
Irish are doing now.
In a well-calculated effort to
divert American sympathy for the
Irish cause Mr.. Lloyd George
charged that Ireland had assisted
the German submarine campaign,
and declared that, although little
had been said about it, Ireland
was Great Britain s worry during
the war. That is an old lie, and
that Lloyd George resorts to it
now shows how hard put he is to
attempt to justify British infamy
in Ireland. That Ireland did not
aid the German submarine cam
| paign is testified by Admiral
Fisher, head of the English Navy
during the war, who in his book
of "reminiscences plainly sets that
charge down as one of the war
lies. 1t is clear that Lloyd George
puts that fiction in circulation
again so that his pro-British tools
in this country may be able to
say: "Why should Americans
sympathize with Ireland when, as
Lloyd George shows, the Irish
helped the German submarines
sink our ships?" But the trick
will not work. The charge is of a
piece with the widely heralded
German plot, invented as an ex-
T, cuse to Jail hundreds of 1rishme'l.
But not one of the arrested men
was ever tried on the charge. and
the challenge to Lloyd George to
furnish proof of the German plot
was never accepted. And we may
be sure if the English had snch
proof the world would not have
to wait long for it.
Lloyd George says England
dare not give Ireland sclf-govern-
ment. He declares that if COM
plete Dominion Home Rule were
accorded Ireland could have con-
scription. In that case, he poin-
ted out, England's Army of 1c0,-
600 men might be confronted with
100000 men of an Irish Army.

CONTRACT LET FOR GRAY
ELED HIGHWAY TO ST.
MARTINVILLE.

The Lafayette Gazette of Tues
day said:
SACOntract was let Monday by
TIE Police Jury of St. Martin par
ISL for the construction Of a gray,
rled highway from Cade on the
Old Spanish Trail, also known as
the Southern National highway,
to st. Martinville, distance of
less than six miles, and the sue.
cessful bidder, Mayor II. S. Sealy
Of New iberia, says that work will
be started within two weeks and
rushed increasingly to an early
completion.
"This new road will give La
fayette and st. Martinville a hard
surfaced highway every foot Of
the way between them and will
be of inestimable value and con-
genience to the people of the two
cities and the intermediate terri
tory. Naturally, it will material
" increase the business and social
relations of the people Of the two
cities.
90 Already the road between st.
Msrtinville and Breaux Bridge
has been completed, connecting
these two cities by graveled road,
and in rainy weather it offers the
only present means Of travel be-
tween Breaux Bridge and Lafay-
cite. as the Breaux Bridge link to
connect up with the Lafayette
parish graveled road at the parish
line near Anse la Butte has not
been started yet.
There is matter Of short
stretch of the route selected for
which the right-of-way is in pro-
cess of negotiation. 1t is under
stood that the st. Martin Police
Jury laid down a policy of re-
aniring donation of rights of-way
for all road improvements. and
this has been adhered to ell along.
"One or two property owners
on the Breaux Bridge-Lafayette
route are holding out for remun-
Grafton for the right-of-way and
this will have to be settled before
the work can start. If the Police
.ly-y should yield and pay for the
right of-way it would have to pay
all others who have donated the
right-of-way and would involve
too great a sum. Hence, the con-
troversy.
Everybody seems to feel sure
that the controversy will be set
tied in short time and that
sometime during the winter the
connecting link will be built TO
the parish line. 1t is such ne
cessity that some way must be de-
vised for it's settlement. Com /
pletion of the Cade-St. Martinvillc
and Breaux Bridge-Lafayette
links each about FIVE miles in
length. VIII give MS hard-sur-
faced belt line highway from La
fayette around to st. Martinville
via Cade, Breaux Bridge and Anse
la Butte. that will be worth hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars to
these communities.

Citizens of Enterprise Coffee co.,
Ala, have erected handsome bronze
statue to the greatest rogue among
Southern crop parasites, the boil
weevn.
1t is not that the Enterprise folks
revere this pestiferous enemy of cot
ton profits, as they hate and fear the
crop despoiler as thoroughly as do all
other residents of the cotton belt.
They merely are paying homage to a
lucky circumstance which revolution
lied their farming activities and popu-
larized livestock production in their
locality-which previously was we'd
ded and welded to exclusive cotton
cropping.
Under cotton-raising domination,
Enterprise was an accurate antithesis
Of all that its name implies. The
community was stagnant, rut-bound
and debt-ridden. Every farmer de-
pended on cotton.
In his disaster-spreading journeys
over the length and breadth of Ala
bama, the boll-weevil threatened to
visit Enterprise.
Under the leadership of the county
agricultural agent, a monster mass
meeting was called to devise ways
and means of either sidetracking the
boil weevil or else of fortifying the
county against his appearance.
A campaign was inaugurated to
popularize livestock farming and di-
versified agricultural practices.
During the last six years Coffee-co.
farmers have followed the emergency
program mapped out for them. Bank
deposits increased tremendously, while
the number of farm mortgages have
correspondingly declined. Better
farm buildings, modern conveniences,
improved highways and all allied evil
dences of agricultural prosperity are
now perceptible in the neighborhood
Of Enterprise.

After the armistice Downey came
to America. Beggs went into Ger
many Just before he was scheduled
to return to this country he, with sew
eral other soldiers, celebrated by a
little target shooting in the German
town of Seeburg, and two aged Ger
mans were killed.
Beggs was arrested, charged with
involuntary manslaughter,' and
tried by court martial. Nobody
thought he would be punished.
Announcement of decision was de-
layed and Reggs came to America,
under guard. Downey met him and
visited him often. He also took his
sister to see Beggs.
One day Beggs told her he wanted
to marry her when he was out of
trouble. She suggested they didn't
need to wait on that account and they
married at the New York City Hall.
And then, six months after the
court martial, the blow fell. Beggs
must serve six years in federal
prison.
He is there now. His former Off
GERS and his friends are putting his
case before the War Department.
And Mrs. Beggs has come to Kan
sas City to help him!

KANSAS CITY, Kan, March 13-
There is a silver lining to the dark
cloud that over-shadows John Beggs,
Irish-born soldier in the American
army, in his cell at Fort Leaven-
worth. Beggs is serving a six-year
sentence for the accidental killing of
two German civilians after the armi-
stice.
The silver lining is Mrs. Helen
Downey Beggs, the girl who married
him while the decision of the court
martial was pending.
81 could be of little assistance to
you as a sweetheart" she told Beggs,
"but as a wife can be of real help.
Someone will listen to me-"
Fate played a grim trick on John
Beggs.
He came to America seven years
ago. Two days before this country
entered the war he enlisted as pri-
vate in the 18th Infantry. He was
promoted and after his outfit got into
action be became a lieutenant.
His best friend in France was
Lieutenant Ernest V. Downey of
Brooklyn, N. Y. Downey sent Beggs'
picture home and showed Beggs the
