FISH STORIES:

Would You Pay $500

Some Would.

New York, Oct. 14.-Unless your
goldfish can pick you out from the
crowd in front of tank as a dog
picks its master; unless at sight OF
you it rises to the surface and
nudges a wet little snoot into your
hand; unless it rings a bell al
meal time and lives to be 19 years
old and is worth from $3.50 to $500
then it is only a poor fish and
not worth a place in the semi-cir'
Gle of tanks at Battery park aquar'
ium where the 25th Annual Ma
tional Gold Fish exhibit is getting
on swimmingly.
Don't keep your goldfish in Z
globe; this makes it dizzy. DOM
laugh when you hear it smackine
its lips, for the water is polluted
and unless it gets oxygen soon il
will drown. Don't admire the mod
ern broad goldfish too much, fol
if breeders keep developing thi.

POLICY IN
NEAR EAST
DEFENDED
Premier Explains Action
Taken; Manchester
Crowd Cheers Him.

Manchester, England, Oct a.
(By the Associated Press.)-Prime
Minister Lloyd George received m
enthusiastic welcome when ho
reached the club here today for
luncheon before delivering his
eagerly awaited reform political
speech. The huge crowd outside
the building extended practically
the whole length of the street ON
which the club is situated, and the
premier's appearance was the sig
nal for . great burst Of cheering.
In beginning his speech at the
luncheon and thus raising the cur
tain on q new act in the political
drama which may mark q climax
in the career of the striking CEN
tral figure, Lloyd George referred
to the near eastern crisis, declar-
ing the people Of this country must
not believe that their government
had endeavored to rush Great Brit
ain into war.
Not "War. Mongen"
I'VE have not been war-mongers
but peace-mOngers," he said.
Continuing his defense Of the
governments policy regarding the
near east, Lloyd George said the
negotiations had been conducted In
manner unprecedented in this
country. The government he de-
clared, had been assailed with
Misrepresentation such IS no gov
ernment had ever been subjected
to.
"Our object in the action We took
was three-fold." he said, ~the free
dom of the straits, the prevention
Of the war spreading into Europe,
and the prevention of the repetition
in Constantinople Of the unutter-
able horrors in Asia Minor.
BALKANS Lit 1914 Flame.
"The war of 1914 practically be-
gan in the Balkans We had to act
promptly, resolutely and firmly.
Since 1914 the Turks, according to
official testimony, have Slaughtered
in cold blood 1,500, 900 Armenians
and 100000 Greeks without any
provocation at all.
"It's no use trying to bluff first
rate fighting animal. It's always a
mistake to threaten unless you
mean 1t. The Turks knew we meant
it, and that's why We have peace.
81 am told that we have departed
from the methods Of the old diplo-
macy. That's very sad! The old
diplomacy ended in the most disas-
trous war this world has ever seen.
The amateur diplomacy Of 1922 has
at last brought peace"
At one point Lloyd George e.
clared dramatically, with his head
thrown back:
Use Sword II Needed.
"As long as / have a sword IN
my hand and God gives me strength
to use it, 1 will do So"
| After expressing his love Of free
dom, saying that no man would
welcome a change more than he.
the prime minister added:
Three years ago I was anxious
to go out and begged Bonar Law
to take the office. He declined. I
never sought the position. 1 never
wished to retain It But l will
serve my country in any capacity.
"I shall watch many things" he
added. Il shall watch to see how
we are to forgive Germany her
reparatfons and yet make France
love us more than ever. shall
watch how we are to pay the Unit
ed States all we owe her and for
give every other country all they
owe u.s."

Yale Bowl New Haven, Conn,

warriors took the measure Of
his brothers Yale Bulldogs here
this afternoon bya score ol 6
to 0.
Yale Bowl, New Haven, Conn.
Oct. 14.-Iowa led Yale by s to o
when the second. period Of their
football game had been finished to-
day. Iowa made a much more i'm
pressive showing than the score in
dicates, constantly threatening
Yale's goal, only two fumb}es and
penalties preventing more scoring.
AS an index of Iowa's powerful Of
fense, the figures show that during
the two periods of "a minutes act
ual play, Iowa earned first down
five times, while Yale failed to do
SO once.
Iowa in 81 scrimmage plays gain
ed 96 yards, while Yale in 10 plays
gained only seven yards.
Iowa completed three forward
passes for a gain Of A yards. Yale
completed none.
Iowa's touchdown came shortly
after the second period opened, with
Iowa having a first down 20 yards
from Yale's goal: The touchdown
play was an end run of eight yards
by Parkin, who, with Locke, made
long gains through Yale's middle
and flanks throughout the two
periods.
Yale had a scoring opportunity
in the first period because of al
Iowa tumble, but Wight failed il
his attempt to kick a field goal
when Iowa's line proved too stron,
and alert for rushes or forwar'
passes.
Minnick failed in an attempt a

DENIES "A. D.
OMITTED FROM
CONSTITUTION
Chairman Q Quotes
Clause Which Con-
tains Words.

Urbana, Ill, Oct A.-Ny The
Associated ss.l-Charging that
a deliberate attempt is being made
to prejudice the people against the
proposed new constitution before
they have had an opportunity to
study it, Henry l. Green, of Urbana,
chairman of the committee on sub
mission, today replied to a state
ment given to the press yesterday
day by Henry Hooker Van Meter,
a Bible League organizer. The Van
Meter statement charged that the
words I'm the Year of Our Lord"
had been omitted from the draft
df the constitution.
A number of Springfield minis
ters and others, according to Van
Meter, had signed the protest.
Evidently the gentlemen who
signed this were misled," Mr.. Green
said. IF they will 60 to the Office
OF the secretary of state, where the
official copy of the constitution al
adopted by the convention is ON file
they will find that the closins
words of the text are as follows:
Here 1t Is.
Done in convention at the capi-
tol In the city of Springfield, on the
18th day of September, in the Year
Of Our Lord One Thousand Nine
Hundred Twenty-Two.'
1t is apparent, therefore, that
whoever is responsible for the cir
culation of this statement that The
year OF Our Lord had been omitted
from the constitution, either was
grossly ignorant or maliciously in
tended to create a prejudice. The
words are in the constitution and
in their proper place, the attesta-
ton clause.
Moreover, the preamble begins
1--WE the People of the State OF
Illinois, grateful to Almighty God.
Charges Champaign Lies,
This is but one example of many
attacks of the same kind that are
being made on this constitution

their time studiously working out

any set of men ever worked more

The people who commanded

Lawrence Sees a Good
Chance for Bamberger,,

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. IA
Utah's trend at the moment is to-
ward the election of Ernest Bam-
berger, Republican, to succeed
Senator Will King, Democrat, who
six years ago defeated George
Sutherland, now associate justice
of the supreme court of the United
States.
Senator King won by twenty-five
thousand. majority in 1916 and is
still quite popular in the state but
a peculiar combination Of circum-
stances may turn the tables on him
this autumnSs For one thing the
Mormons have made up their minds
that it is not good thing for
Utah to be represented in the Unit
ed States senate by two Mormons
Both senators King and Smoot are
members of the Mormon church.
Even before the primaries and
convention which gave Ernest
Bamberger the Republican nomin'
alton, a we'll defined movement de-
veloped among the Mormons that
it would be a good idea to divide the
senatorial representation very
much as has been the case fol
years with the governorship ant
4 the mayoralty. With few excep
tions, the mayor Of Salt Lake City
has been a non-Mormon and tht
governor has been Mormon. Re
