Lloyd Georges Speech Carries Hint
of Method to Be Followed
Mr.. Asquith Has Some
thing to Say.

LONDON.--The' newspapers or
England are filled with optimistic
articles concerning possibilities of an
early truce between the Sinn> Fein
and the government. Reports that
the labor member of the house of
commons, Arthur Henderson, who is
in Ireland at the head of the labor
commission investigating conditions
there, is acting as an unofficial go.
between for the government and the
Sim Feiners, and rumors that the
Church of Rome intends taking a
hand in the efforts at conciliatiOn
have been linked with Premier Lloyd
Georges speech at the Constitutional
club.
While Mr.. Lloyd George firmly re-
iterated the necessity of suppress
ing murder and revolution in Ireland,
his speech contained a section which
the press generally interprets much
as does the Pail Mall Gazette, which
heads the address. "The Premier
Lights the Path"
Premier Lloyd Georges main
points may be summarized thus:
Stop Terror First.
ITO make reland free agent IN
discussing the problems of Ireland
you must break the terror. STAMP
out murder, suppress revolution ant
restore freedom to Ireland. Then tc
face our problem we must have
double courage. The first is courage
to suppress and the other is ever
greater courage-that is, courage tt
conciliate."

of the murders Of police and soldiers
in Ireland, deplOring failure of thu
government to secure conviction o
the murderers and provide protection

Former Premier Asquith was tn
principal speaker.
The resolution also calls on tn
government to abandon all attempt
to "repress crime by crime. and de
mands immediate action to restor
the supremacy of law and order an
to secure reconciliation of Irealn
with England.
Retaliation Depiored.
Mr. AsQuith spoke strongly agains
the numbering of policemen and so
diers and the 'lawless excesses whic
were allowed to be perpetrated by O
ficers." He declared police and so
diers had reason to believe the metl
cd of indiscriminate retaliation wa
regarded in highest quarters as
thing to be looked upon with undu
disfavor, pointing out that in not

punishment.
Sir Horace Plunkett said the Who'll

cent tax would apply to options and
the measure Would affect grain prod

ness the thousands of wire houses

FITZGERALD
One of the Most Promising
American Writers of Fiction
of the Present Day

One of the most promising fiction
writer's in America today is F. Scott
Fitzgerald, the young Princeton gradu L.
ate whose first novel. "This Side OF
Paradise" was welcomed by thousands
of readers, young and old. as an in
teresting and entertaining book. 1t was
n book of youth written by a youth.
Its crudities and its immaturity were
mart of its merits. Without them it
would have been less real. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald's second book, volume of short
stories collected under the title FLAP
pers and Philosophers" proves that he
can do more than write about youth. he
writes of adults and their problems az
well as he writes of the buOyancy and
hustle of the love making of boys and
girls in their late teens and early twen =
ties. The structure of his novel was
bad, but no one can teach him anything
about how to build short story. The
Offshore Pirate which introduces the
volume, is a gem of romantic fooling. 1t
is told so well that even the experienced
fiction reader will fail to foresee the
denouement. And the romance of 1t
will set every sentimental girl and youth
to dreaming. In an entirely different vein
is 'The Cut Glass Bowl tale that
might have been written by De Mau-
passant or Poe.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, when he learns the
art of the novel as well as he has mas
tered the art of the short story, viii
produce something worth while provided
he does not permit himself to be driven
into forcing himself to write faster thar
he thinks.

Tales of Horror

Maurice Level, French physician,
amused himself in his youth by writing
weird and gruesome tales. They have
been famous in France for some years.
A group of them have lately been
translated into English for the benefit OF
those who like to harrow up their
feelings. :,
The first in the volume. well called
"Tales of Mystery and Horrors, is
typical. 1t is about bill collector in
Paris who had reputation for honesty
and trustworthiness. When he was
asked why he did not run away some day
through his hands, he said that money
was no temptation to him. But one day
when he had several hundred thousand
francs he wrapped the money in heavy
envelope and took it to lawyer where
he explained that he would like the
package kc2t until he called for it, He
gave an assumed name and said that
when he wished it he would come again.
Then he went to his employers and re-
ported that he had been robbed. His
story WAS not believed and he was tried
and convicted. When he had completed
his sentence he had forgotten the name
he had Civ en- to the lawyer with whom
he had left the money, so he could not
carry out his plans to go into the coun-
try and live life of quiet generosity.
He sank lower and lower in his poverty
and finally threw himself into the Seine.
When he struck the water he remcm-
bered the name and called for help, but
in vain. Mr.. Level writes with skill
and develops his brief plots in way
to bring out all their horror.

ENTERTAINING
MELODRAMA
"The Purple Heights" a Ro'
nance for Those Who Like
Sentiment and Thrill

Marie Conway Oemler knows how to
write an entertaining story. She proved
this in SLIPPERY McGee," and again in
"a Woman Named Smith" She has
done 1t once more in 'The Purple
HEIGHTS"
If there is any situation in conven-
tional melodrama which she has not
used In this new book then it was be-
cause she did not need it. She begins
with poor boy in the South, left an
orphan by the death of his widowed
mother. He is the last of his family. a
family of which he is proud with the
pride of his race. He fails to satisfy
his employers who have given him a
chance to earn living because of their
interest in his family. and on the very
day on which he is discharged the god
in machine appears. The machine is
a high powered automobile and the god
is an uncle whom every one supposed
had died long ago. He has made for
tune out of a, gold mine and a patent
medicine formula and he agrees to
make the boy heir to half his fortune
and pay his expenses while he is study
ing art provided the boy would marry
the girl he picked out for him. Then
we have the marriage and the separa
ton of the bride and groom within an
hour and their mutual hate. The book
ends with the melodramatic meeting of
the two people after they have been
divorced. Each is unaware of the iden :
tity of the other. What happens is
what every writer of entertaining ic-
tion would make happen to the delight
of those who are convinced that journeys
end in lovers meeting.
Between the opening and the close
