once upJh a time, dear children,
~ there was a grocery horse named
Sylvester who used to pull comicai

comical little people who had no idea
how comical they were. (Johnny, get OH

At this George Horse and his wife,
Mrs. George Horse. who worked for q

They had a very fetching unison snort
which they had practiced throughout
their ten years Of matrial life. They
could keep in practice. you see, because
when there are no others to snort at
they could always snort at each other.
Anyway, they snorted in derision
derisively. and then George Horse said,
You've got a nerve to complain about
pulling a few dinky, roses and lilies
around. Suppose you had to drag few
tons Of paving brick up and down all
day?'
"Or steel girders.'' added Mrs.
George Horse.
'Or crushed rock sneered George
Horse. And then they both snorted in
unison again.

Lloyd George is anxious to have Bel.
GUM participate in the proposed Anglo.
French alliance, but will oppose her
admission SO long as she retains her
military alliance with France, 1t was
learned this afternoon.
The British premier has suggested
to NJ. Jaspar, Belgian foreign minister,
that Belgium return to her pre-war
status of neutrality. The military
alliance with France was contracted
since the war and at about the same
time that France entered into a similar
treaty with Poland,
Premier Lloyd George drew up the
preamble to the proposed treaty stat.
ing the conditions on which Britain
would enter the agreement and the
price of Britain to guarantee the soil
Of France. Great Britain refused to
recognize the German Rhineland as
French soil' and refused to guaran.
tee the territorial integrity of Poland.
CNote-Poland Is from three to four
times her pre-war size, having taken
territory from Russia, Lithuania, Hun.

The threat Is made by Britain to
,pen naval building competition with

her submarine demands.
