lob CRISIS NEAR
|NGREAT BRITAIN
Lloyd George to Make Crucial
Speech on Issue in Spite of
Physicians Orders.
Bv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
|. LONDON, October 4.-Prime Min
lister Lloyd George planned to leave
Gairloch today after a vacation which
was often interrupted by state busi-
ness Irish problems and the unem-
ployment situation were considered
SO frequently by Mr.. Lloyd George
that much of the time he spent at
Gairloch he has been as busy as II
he had remained in London.
The premier's health is reported to
have been improved by the air of the
Scottish highlands, but his physi-
clan has forbidden him to address
any public meetings for some time.
Mr.. Lloyd George. however, is so i'm
pressed with the gravity and urgency
of the unemployment question that he
has decided, it was reported today,
to lay before the public without de-
lay Information as to important con-
ferences he held over the last week
end with financial, commercial and
industrial experts.
Plans One Speech.
He planned to go from Gairloch to
Inverness, where he was to be pre-
sented the freedom of the city today.
1t was said he had compromised be-
tween his physicians orders and his
eagerness to make public his attitude
relative to unemployment and was
expected to announce he would give
no public audiences, and would de-
liver a short address to the municipal
dignitaries and few press stenog-
raphers There was an understand
ing that his speech would be i'm
portant, although it was not expected
he would announce any final de-
cisions as he has yet to consult labor
leaders, which he will do Immediately
after returning to London tomorrow.
Large measures of relief to meet the
unemployment situation in Great Brit
ian may be necessary throughout the
winter months, but experts with
whom Mr. Lloyd George has conferred
have SO far been silent regarding the
conversations at Gairloch.
- German Indemnity Taken Up.
The Daily Mail, however, declares
east and in Poland, as preliminary
to the adjustment OF foreign ex-
change and a revival of trade, was
discussed. It is also. said that. the
payment of indemnity by Germany
was also taken up at the Gairloch
conferences.
There is strong feeling in certain
industrial quarters, the Daily Mail
declares, that to compel Germany to
pay her obligations at present would
result only in a further decline In the
value of the mark and in fluctuations
Of the exchange rate which would
seriously damage the revival OF trade.
1t is stated that alterations Of great
Importance in the governments in
the Gairlocb Deliberations. although
final decision cannot be made until
the prime minister has consulted his
cabinet.

DECORATION JOB ENDED
Artist Worked From Sunrise t,
Sunset Daily During Summer.

NEW YORK. October "A task at
which he labored in seclusion from
sunrise to sunset throughout the
summer ended recently when Rev. Prof.
Lorenzo Capitani put the last finish
ing touches on the interior paintings
Of the Church of Santa Clara in West
S6th street, the center Of an Italian
parish.
The artists face was seen to be
drawn and pale from the three
months of ceaseless toll as he ap-
peared at the reopening of the church.
Among the most striking Of the
decorations. which cover the walls as
we'll as the great central dome, are
twelve-foot images of the angels
Faith, Hope and Charity, who are
portrayed winging their way across
the blue Armament. The murals,
above a wainscoting Of green Italian
marble, are in the style Of the renais-
sance and are set OF by the light from
immense windows Of yellow stained
glass.
Father Capitani said that he would
decorate another church before he re-
turned to Italy. .

= LONDON, September 16.-Gren-
vile A. Ellis, a prominent figure in

Gently in the Isle of Wight.
Mr.. Ellis, who was from Boston

tor, chiefly on theatrical subjects, to
Boston papers. came to London forty
years ago and had been a resident

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Nothing equals plenty Of stable or
yard manure to make a garden plot
produce the best crops. Garden spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture mean by this not
merely a meager scattering over the
surface, but an application about two
inches thick. 1t should be applied in
the fall to form a protecting cover dur
ing the winter. If this. is done, the
manure should be turned under as
early in the spring as possible, but any
material too rough to turn under
should be piled in a compost heap to
rot. Only well-rOtted manure should
be applied in the spring as top dress
ing. After the land has been plOwed,
scatter the rotted manure over the
surface and work it in with the har-
row. If the garden is spaded the ma
nure should be worked in with a spad-
ing fork or rake.
Elements Sometimes Deficient.
Large quantities of manure should
be used. On a tenth-acre garden, that
is. one measuring about 431s feet by
100 feet, apply from one to two tons
two loads-in the fall. If a truck is
used for hauling one load generally
will be sufficient. If a corresponding
amount is piled up in the autumn with
a little sod or soil mixed with it, and
worked over once or twice during the
winter, it will give a good supply of
compost for use as a spring top dress
ing.
Where this amount of manure is
used very little chemical fertilizer is
needed. However, manure very often
does not have a sufficient quantity Of
nitrogen, phosphOric acid and potash in
it, and it may be desirable to add
commercial fertilizers containing 2 or
8 per cent nitrogen, 8 or 10 per cent
phosphOric acid and to g per cent
potash, at the rate Of 100 pounds on
a tenth-acre garden. This also can be
spread broadcast and worked into the
soil when the land is being pulverized
ready for planting.
Several crops require special ferttl-
izers. For instance, lettuce,S cabbage,
spinach, kale, and in fact all Of the
salad crops, and those which are grown
