Lloyd George in Troubled Waters.

A belief that Lloyd George will
again prevail against his opponents in
the general election which is virtually
certain to be held in Great Britain
soon is predicated upon the fact that
he has in the past weathered heavy
storms and that he possesses the skill
of a POLITICAL navigator to contend
against the forces now working In
opposition to him. He is master OF
Cancellation and attack. His Man
chester speech was distinctly along
the first line. London critics now call
it an apologize. and score it as AT in
adequate presentation of the near east
situation. But it has to be read in
conjunction with the Birmingham
speech of Austen Chamberlain. which
the premier in his address accepted
fully. Taken together these two mean
that the ministry will stand on its
record in Asia Minor and seek the
support of the country on the ground
that a dissolution of the coalition will
mean laborite government. or at
least a government by minority par
liamentary party. with the laborites
holding the balance of power.
At present the conservatives are en-
deavoring to line up against the pre-
mier, in dissolution of the coalition
The time. they say. has passed for
consolidated divergent parties, disre-
sarding Chamberlain's warning and
the laborite manifesto issued immedi-
ately after the Birmingham speech.
which British labor has construed as
a challenge. A plan is on foot to re-
organize the conservative party under
another leadership than that Of Lloyd
George. thus putting the premier in a
position where. in the event Of con-
servative majority in parliament. the
ministry will be organized by another
and he will be relegated to an inferior
role
However much Of an apology the
Manchester speech may have been,
Lloyd George is too adroit a politician
to enter a contest in q negative atti-
tude. That he will force the fighting
is to be assumed from his record. That
he will choose his time for dissolving
parliament and "going to the country"
is plainly indicated by Chamberlain's
remark that the prerogative of ad-
journing parliament belongs to the
premier. and to him alone, through
the king, of course.
\ new angle has been developed in
the case by evidence of resentment in
France at the premier's remarks at
Manchester to the effect that France
did not keep faith in the near east
and that England was forced alone to
work for peace there. Credit for the
peace is claimed for France. Fears
are expressed lest this declaration at
Manchester may have an i'll effect at
the conference to which the Mudania
armistice agreement was q prelude.
Such expressions on the part of Paris
critics of Lloyd George. however, are
not calculated to weaken him at home.

Beautiful, But Dumb,

Some Of our self-sufficient directors
have long asserted that girl doesn't,
need brains to be successful and
popular film actress. Why, then,
should there be any disturbance when
prominent he-actor tells an inter-
viewer that the women in the movies
are beautiful, but dumb? Yet num-
bers Of them are represented as
chatting at the criticism, although
chatting itself is to be deplored, save
with the accompaniment Of chatting
dish. One of the affronted ones
testify remarks that the actor who
made the statement 10 an overstuffed
portion Of Brie. OF course, that is
not exactly what she said, but 1t is
what she meant. What she did say
was: 1.-THE big stiff Is a piece Of
cheese" This 10 even more direct
and piduant. Anyhow, we are ad-
vised that the girls who are beauti-
full are not going to remain dumb

Government by Poison.

Out of the dusty past reached a
molecule and breaches a lesson on
the worlds betterment. An ancient
ring. made in the days of the Borgias
in Italy. is sold in a curio store in
Switzerland. The buyer dons it, and
is poisoned by q drop OF venom con-
cealed in the trinket. Narrowly his life
is saved.
Once there was a time when ma
terial venom was a recognized in
strument of rulership. 1t eliminated
rivals. A poisoned ring given to a
suspected friend solved problems of
safety for governors of cities and
provinces. for kings and for en-
perors.
We do things better now. The
poison no more is material. The
chemist Is not called into secret con-
sultation. Instead. too often the
skilled distortioner Of words, the
plausible disarrayer of facts. the
shrewd perverter Of records, confer
with the earnest captains of politics
who would make smooth the way for
their favored candidates and remove
troublesome personalities from the
path Of their hand picked official rep
resentatfves.-New Orleans Item.

T>HE other night q young business
i man had parked his car in front
of the apartment house in which he
lives ana although he usually places
a safety lock on tho wheel. when he
leaves the car on the street for any
length of time, on this particular oc-
casion he neglected to perform that
once. Hearing the slamming Of q
door he rushed to the window only to
see a man dashing from the car and
proceeding at a rapid pace down the
street. The same instant he beheld
a cat clawing It's way out Of the car
by the way OF the dashboard, the
place where automobile makers To-
cate all the clocks, gauges and other
jiggers that inform the owner Of the
car what it is doing and what it is
not doing. 1t was very evident that
the would-be thief. in the darkness,
had plunked himself down upon the
cat which had selected the drivers

the feline had struck terror into the

TN the olden days of the great west

man who SO far disregarded the law
as to steal a horse, and this pro.
ceeding was looked upon by reputable
citizens as being a fair and honest
manner Of Furnishing those who Sc
cured for themselves the mount Of
another person. This condition OBJ
tanned for many years, and while 1t
was not . law on the statute book It
was an unwritten law at which the
authorities winked. The line Of rea7
soning was that the means Of trans
portation, (. e., the horse, was a val
liable piece OF necessary property,
and while it is hardly in keeping with
our modern-day sense Of justice to
advocate the lynching Of automobile
thieves, yet at the same time it would
be an excellent idea II the judges Of
the courts would give sentences Of
sufficient length to put a auietus on
this nefarious practice. There are
thousands Of people in the United
States, many Of them in Washington,
who have gone without other lux
uries in order that they might pur-
chase car; many OF them use this
means of transportation for business
purposes and also for pleasure. The
automobile thief is a cold. deliberate
plunderer. he is not impelled by the
pangs Of hunger to commit these
crimes and there is absolutely no ex-
cuse for his cowardly and vicious
manner OF securing something which
he will probably sell for but small
fraction Of its face value.

Politics in Cuba,

In Cuba the politicians are having

The Cuban temperament Is warm,

obligations. We not only desire, but
are empowered in certain circum.
stances to help promote. tranquility
and prosperity in the island. We are
sponsors for Cuba before the world.
We do not want to intervene in the
interests Of order and security. We
should much prefer a settlement Of
the difficulties by the Cubans them.

own, and they are sufficient at this
time to keep US on the jump.
Hence the hope that. in some way.

circles in this country. and even in

been derided, and predictions made

Thompson Injuries Hand,
Johnson's S Protege Wins
George Godfrey Gets Verdict
in Fifth Round.

Jack Thompson's spirit was willing
but his fist wasn't equal to the occasion
when he opposed George Godfrey. Jack
Johnsons protege, last night in the main
event at the Pioneer Sporting Club. AS
a sad result Jack came off with n thor
oughly scrambled left mitt. What Jack
tried to do was to drive George through
the ring floor in the third round much
as a circus canvas hand would drive a
stake. and after fimping along with a
lame hand for two more rounds he was
rescued from a fast accommodating wall
Looping by a towel deftly tossed by a con-
siderate second. 1t wasn't a lily white
towel but II was towel just the same
and IL saved Jack Thompson from con-
siderable of pasting.
Both dusky heavyweights tipped the
much abused beam at 204 pounds. Be-
sides having all that weight Mister Cod
frey, who is an angular sort of a gent
for all his tonnage. also brought along
quite some idea of boxing cleverness
and from the start he piled a diligent
left to Thompson's classic features, now
and then unleashing a snappy right by
way of variety. A wild swing seemed
to be Thompson's hope and finally one
landed on Godfrey's head with the afore-
mentioned assembling effect.
In the best fight of the night Mike
Burke of Greenwich Village won over
Eddie Josephs OF Staten Island IN the
fifth round. Burke sent Josephs through
the ropes In the third round and when
he repeated the performance in the fifth
the islander came up so weak and
wabbly that the bout was stopped.
