Vile, Mass.
Captain George r. Cobb Of the Con
cord and his officers were praised for
their control of the situation. Cap

were discharged by Captain Cobb. He
reported that the men had deserted
the ship.
Officials Of the Colonial line could
not estimate the amount of damage
to the cargo which consisted Of silk,
and general merchandise. They
said IL was little. Men from the Mo-
hegan who helped put out the fire said
that the cargo was practically de-
stroyed and that most 81 the general
freight was thrown overheard before
the blaze could be extinguished.

LLOYD GEORGE GOVERNMENT

ceeded and so when Kitchener oi
Khartoum was lost at sea the Welsh
man took his place as secretary OF
state for war. With Sir Eric Geddes
he pitched into the work Of re-or-
ganizing the railway system support
ing the British armies in France. Then
on Dec. 8, 1915, he was called to the
premiership.
Almost Immediately he substituted
small, compact war cabinet for the
larger and more unwiehly ministry
that had gone.
During the war he turned the indus
tries of Great Britain into vast mu-
milton factories, raised an army Of
100000 men and organized 100000
war workers. He provided for con-
struction of 100000 tons of shipping,
transferred the big estates into truck
gardens and hospitals for recuperation
and enforced conscription ON proud
and free people. He followed up the
collapse, Of Russia and the italian de
bacle at Caporetto by rushing British
troops to Siberia and Italy. He helped
make it possible for the United States
to transport 100000 soldiers to the
western front, and he was a big fac
tor in the appointment of Marshal
Foch as generalissimo Of all the allied
forces.
He took as notable a part In the
conclusioa of peace as he had taken
in the winning of the war. When the
negotiations were concluded
at Versailles, he was there.
Even during the peace conference
and almost daily for the next three
years the Irish question gave Lloyd
George great anxiety. He had favored
home rule and had sought to recon
cile the Obstetrics and Sinnn Feiners,
but his efforts to this end were fil-
tile. He gained the bitter hatred of
some and the admiration of others
when conditions in Ireland grew SO
serious that he decided to deal with
the situation in military way and
send the Black and Tans into that
troubled country.
He took the position that whatever
freedom Ireland received, she would
have to remain within the empire, and
in this, too. he had his way
In the appraisal of admirers Lloyd
George was frequently credited with
having always given to the poor and
the first place in his heart.
II was frequently said of hin. that no
tatesman ever changed his mind on i'm

HIT BY STREET. CAR;
HERBERT BROWN DIED
Authorities Consider There Is Much
Mystery About Killing Of Fort
Ethan Allen Soldier.

Burlington. Oct. lS.--Herbert Brown
|2S years old, private in troop A, Third
cavalry, Fort Ethan Allen, died at the
Post hospital Monday night of frac-
tured skull The circumstances sur
rounding his death are unusual and by
some are thought to be mysterious.
Private Brown was on leave from the
post Sunday night and apparently went
to Winooski. A fellow soldier stated
yesterday that he saw Brown near the
Strand theatre in Winooski about
o'clock Sunday evening.
At about 10 o'clock that night, an
electric car with Charles LaBounty as
motorman and William Morcombe CON
ductor. was proceeding from Winooski
toward Essex Junction, when at point
nearly opposite the Gonyow woodward,
near the foot Of Weston's hill, the mo-
torman. according to his story. saw q
man sitting on the rail just few feet
ahead. The motorman had not been
able TO see the man before, according
to the story, because the lights of an
automobile descending the hill had been
too dazzling. When the man was final
" discovered on the track. il was too
late to stop the car before striking him.
He was pushed off the track and onto
the grass at the side of the track, 1t is
said.
The electric ear was stopped within
half its length after the man was
struck. witnesses say, and Private
Brown was picked up. He was uncon-
scious at the time. One story has it
that he never recovered consciousness
before he died nearly "a hours later,
while another story is that he was con-
scious for u short time while he was
being carried to the post on the car.
and that he replied to questions and
said that he was not badly hurt.
