tells the curious tale.
For many many years, says Doctor
Moore, travellers and psychologists
were puzzled to know where the enor-
nous blocks Of stone still standing in
the ruins OF Solom0n's temple at Jerg-
salem were quanied. One day lit
tie dog chased a lizard down a hole
among the debris. The next instant
the dog also disappeared.
His master, coming to the opening,
peered down In vain. He called. and
10 his aiaa2ement his voice came back
as from great depths. He summoned
assistance. and passage was opened
into immense subterranean quarries.
There were found huge masses OF
stone almost ready TO be hoisted
above ground.
And don't you remember" asks
Doctor Moore, "that we are told in
our Bibles that the temple was built

MAcHINIsTs' STRIKE ENDED
Hoosick Falls Union Gives Up Long
Fight.

The strike of the machinists in the
Walter A. Wood Company of Hooslck
Falls. which has been in progress
since July 2S, 1920, and which was the
forerunner and direct cause Of an in
dustrial depression in Hoosick Falls
during the past year, was declared Off
at meeting of the Machinists' union
in Labor hall Monday evening. The
action Of the union followed an agi-
tation among large portion Of the
membership that there was no longer
reason for maintaining a strike con
dition at the Wood Company's plant
Strike benefits had long since been
stopped and many Of the members
were forced to lag in the payment of
their dues.
For these reasons and because OF
the lack of any cause for maintaining
the strike condition, it was voted to
call off the strike.

LLOYD GEORGE DELAYS
TRIP TO AMERICA

Situation but VIII make
Vi1it ater

London, Nov. 3.-tBy the Associat-
ed Press.) premier Lioyd-George
has definitely cancelled his passage or
the steamer Aquitania, on which he
was to have proceeded TO TIE United
States, November ), TO attend the
Washington conference.
This fact became officially known
here last night for the first time.
1t had been known, however, for
some days that the critical stage the
Irish negotiations had reached prob
ably would prevent Mr.. Lloyd.George
from sailing on Saturday
Owing to the grave turn in Irish
affairs 1t IS not even possible to fix a
provisional date for TIE premier's
sailing. but he stIll irteAds. to so TO
Washington at the earliest moment
possible
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1921-11-03
Considered Favora able

Washington at the earliest moment
possible,
Considered Favorable
The cancellation by the premier oil
his passage is considered a favorable
rather than an unfavorable sign Of
the progress OF the Irish negotiations.
The Interpretation placed on it is that
Mr. Lloyd-George hopes that few
days delay in his departure VIII en-
able him to see settlement reached
or at least the basis Of an agreement
arrived at which can be worked out
during his absence from the country
In this connection Importance is at
tached TO the fact that Sir James
Craig. the Ulster premier, is coming
to London Saturday.
The Irish negotiators held two pri-
vate meetings yesterday and while
there will be further suoa gatherings,
no date has yet been fixed for a form
al conference.
1t ia learned at Sim Fein headquar-
ters that the negotiations are likely
to hang fire until something is heard
from sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier. on the subjects on which he
has been consulted.
Appointed Commissioner.
Dublin, Nov S-Dr Patrick Nc
Cartan, former representative of TIE
Dail Eireann in the United States yes
terday was appointed commissioner
OF the Dail E.reanD to administer the
affairs OF the Dublin Board of Guard
ians. The Guardians recently con
fessed inability to cope with the ad-
ministration owing 10 the vested in
terests of officials and others since
the old regime. They appealed to the
Dali Eireann to appoint a commits
sioner. Former Unionists were the
foremost supporters of the sugges-
ton.
Similar action taken last year in
connection with the Cork board OF
guardians resulted in an improved ad-
ministration.
II is announced that ten prisoners
in the Bally Kinlar interment camp
were liberated AT once.
While no reason was assigned lor
the release of the men, il was con
sidered here as indicating tnat q gen
eral release of prisoners Is contem-
p.ated. and that their being turned
loose might be part OF a general
peace agreement.
