Lambs Creek Church, built in 1910 is in the upper
portion OF King George County, eleven miles south
east of Fredericksburg. After the interests were
driven out OF this country. the British clergy ceased
to be sent hither from the old country and many

strain the French from action on the Rhine. So far,
Lloyd George, by his supreme skill in private con-
versations has been able to persuade Frenchman
after another to withhold his hand when such
course spelled political ruin for himself because of
French public sentiment But it is clear that this
sort OF thing cannot go on indefinitely.
y. The the situation. is studied the palmer be-
comes the fact that there is common basis of
interests out Of which policy of action
could result French and British interests are not
only opposed now, they have been in conflict ever
since the armishce. and so far see they
must remain in conflict for long time to come.
And for much of this time France will be able if she
decides to take her fortune in her hand to
impose her will upon Germany ....
The balance of power in Europe is for the time
being memory. Lloyd George has steadily relied
upon the Italians to support him against the French
but Italy seems rapidly sinking into condition of
domestic anarchy which must terribly weaken her in-
fuence abroad. Moreover. the victory of the
Greeks over the Turks, representing triumph for
British policy not less clearly means disaster for
Italian aspirations in the Aegean and in Asia Minor
In this part of the world France and Italy united
in preferring Turkish to Greek supremacy

skill than by force imposed British policy upon the
continent upon the French and Italians, quite as
much as upon the Germans. 1t has been triumph

what has happened is that one crisis after another
had been temporarily CLOSED over, the day of reck
oning postponed Unhappiy this has resulted in the
accumulation of unsettled problems Moreover, since
every postponement has represented triumph for
the British point of view. it has also resulted in
corresponding increase in the resentment of the
French nation. ,.r.
This is what makes the present disagreement so
serious. This is why group of British statesmen
advocate open alliance with the French, thus pro-
viding British guarantee of French security against
Germany. These Englishmen perceive that Britain
cannot indefinitely persuade France to concessions
without making payment of some kind and they also
perceive that, at bottom the French demand for
curity is only natural but legitimate They also
perceive that if such guarantee does not come to
France then sooner or later French prime ministers
will abandon their losing effort to preserve Anglo
French intimacy and strike out upon an independent
policy, which however dangerous for France, brings
certain economic loss to Britain, brings further
strictions of the world market and order expansion
of British unemployment. ...
May Avert Open Break.
T may be that the present crisis will be passed
without open break or even a serious clash
of opinion leading to further cooling Of re-
lations. But If this be the case unless there be
general liquidation, such the French demand
ing, unless the British agree to recognize French
views in certain fields, in return for French rec6g
milton of British purposes in other fields, the end Of
the Anglo-French association Is certainly at hand
For, whatever the rights and wrongs of the matter
the French in increasing numbers have come to
regard this association profitable to only one of
the partners. '.-o
Lloyd George has been too successful in reality,
in dealing with the French, as he was too successful
in dealing with President Wilson at Paris. The con-
trast between the results of British and of French
craftsmanship too striking the deadly iteration
of British successes in after another Of the in
ternatonal gatherings has led the French to the
point where they regard Conversation" with Lloyd
George French defeat before it has taken
place. Hence BRAND has, in the last instance and
with general French approval, has steadily avoided
going to conference the Silesan question.
But the British make the necessary conees-,
sions? This is the real question Obviously the terms
of any bargain and they have been frequently men
toned in Paris newspapers include free hand for
finance the continent in return for granting a
free hand to Britain, in the Near East France will
to back the Turk against the Greek, Britain will
stop supporting the Gerpan against the Pole. But q
sound in theory perhaps this bargain in reality carries
The Washington herald., 1921-08-07

with it the necessity for the British to sacrifice the
continental markets, which must suffer from French
policy. 1t means recognition by the British French
supremacy upon the continent and such recognition
not only does violence British traditions but also
threatened immediate economic interests.
The effort to drag moral considerations into this
break between the foreign policies of two great ma
tons is ridiculous. The French decry British impc-
rialism in the Near East the British condemn French
imperialism in Europe, but in point of fact what one
must perceive is that the national self interests
dictate both policies and that Britain is only doing
the Euphrates ,and the Tigris what France would
do the Vistua hnd the Rhine. French champion-
ship of Poandlis no more nor less wicked than Brit
ish support of the Greeks.
Sensitive Point, Near East
THINE out of mind the Near East has been the !
the sensitive point in British foreign poicy.
For even longer time France has been domi-
mated by the necessity guard against invasion from
the north and bound to seek European alliances to
counterbaance the strength of the master Of Ger-
many whether Hohenzollern or Hapsburg. In the
last century Britain relied upon Turkey her
want in the Near East France made alliance with
Russia to attain protection against Germany. Today
Britain has changed partners in the Near East France
has substituted Poland for Russia in Europe.
! Every time the British oppose French policy in
Poland German resistance to France rcdoubies every
where, resistance disarmament the compliance with
French anger and a further weakening Of Anglo
French friendship In the end. unless basis OF
mutual agreement can be found, some general hqui-
dation like that of 1904 arranged, il certain
that the French win throw off their British bonds
altogether and act for themselves upon the continent
But as it now stands, there is no basis of mutual
agfeement which any British government can accept

Golf Enthusiasts of
City Become Active
Plan to Build Links at Fairy Lake
May be Abandoned Because
of Expense

William Zimmerman, proprietor of
Fairy Lake Resort, met with a num-
Der of Sank Centre business and pro-
fessional men at the Commercial
Club Friday evening of last week to
consider the advisability of organic
ing a golf club and locating the links
at Fairy Lake Resort.
To date 80 men have signified their
willingness to become affiliated with
golf club and on Tuesday of this
week Hal Erwin, golf enthusiast of
st. Cloud, was called and in company
with the local committee, j. C. West,
D. B. Caughren, VIM. Parker and Mr..
Zimmerman, made an inspection of
the Zimmerman property:
The Herald understands that it
will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 to put this property in shape
for a golf links, which probably
means that the Zimmerman plan may
have to be abandoned.
However, there is another plan in
volving which may develope into the
organization of a holding company
and the purchase of a tract Of land
closer to the city which can be
made into suitable links at a much
less expense. AS soon as matters
have developed sufficiently anothe,
meeting Of those interested will be
called to go into the matter when il
is hoped that there will be something
definite to work on.
Enthusiasm is running high al
present and unless the ardor cools
there is a strong probability that g
golf club will be organized in the
very near future.

When the sun came out on the
morning Of Tuesday, April 9th and
while the birds were singing and the
farmers beating all records in getting
their grain into the ground, old set
tiers were viewing the situation with
skeptical eye. Mrs. Joseph Capse1
in speaking of the excellent weather
recalled the date Of April 5, 1865
when while living in the old stockade
here, the people of Sank Centre on
that day witnessed snow storm in
which 9 feet of snow fell on the level
It was the worst storm Of the year
and during the blizzard period, a
soldier of the stockade, who had gone
out after his traps, was found frozen
to death in a snow drift.
