Northcliffe Is Asking
 and Giving no Quarter

7HHE controversy between Lord U Northcliffe, Lloyd George and the Earl of Curzon is adding a few mirthful moments to what is known as the "heated term" It has as- sumed international importance be- cause Northcliffe happens to be in America, which is bit unfortunate for. that two-fisted editorial fighter who must depend on the cables to keep his part of the record straight.
 Ambassador Geddes has been drawn into the affair by canceling an invitation which had been ex- tended to Northcliffe to dine at the British embassy in Washington. It would be hard to conceive of a dip lomat being placed in a more awk- ward position. Whether or not his action was inspired by Curzon, which Northcliffe claims to be the case, although his statement was denied yesterday by the British for eign office, the fact that Northcliffe is at present persona non grata to the British government, and to Lloyd George and Curzon in particu- lar, left Geddes no other recourse but to cancel the invitation which would have made Northcliffe a guest of honor in the British em- bassy. As the British ambassador that seems to have been his painful duty, but Geddes is a close friend of Northcliffe, and there's the rub.
 Northcliffe, incidentally, has made "dutiful" denial of an in- terview in which he was quoted as saying that King George told Lloyd George he must stop killing Irish men. King George also denies that he made any such statement.
 As the British ruler is not in the habit of laying down the law to his prime minister, and if he ventured to do so it might rock the founda- tions of the British empire, King Georges denial will be readily be- lieved.
 By bitterly attacking Lloyd George and Earl Curzon in the Lon don Times, Lord Northcliffe caused his paper to be cut off from official sources of news and brought about a situation which considerably em- barrassed Ambassador Geddes, whe extended his invitation before the more recent hostilities began between Northcliffe, Lloyd George, Ctrzon and the British foreign office.
 What the London Times had to say about Lloyd George>and Curzon in opposing their attending the dis armament conference, was enough to make these two statesmen any. thing but happy and there promises to be more anon.
 In the meantime, Northcliffe will not lack entertainment ir America, where he has made the surprising discovery that prohibi- tion as least so far as he is con cerned, does not prohibit.

Brandon visits Ensley

Judge W. W. Brandon, who was a visitor to Ensley yesterday, met many old friends said James A. Du- puy. T was among several who had the pleasure of talking to "Plain Bill" at Berney's pharmacy yester- day. Judge Brandon feels exceptional ly hopeful over his campaign for governor, and believes that the peo- pie of Alabama intend to make him governor. Some of his friends from Tuscaloosa yesterday suggested that he would be given the great honor without opposition.
 Judge Brandon and his friends were highly pleased with their short trip to Ensley, and seemed to find real pleasure in shaking hands with some of their old friends and ob- serving the activities of Birming- ham,
