George WithdraWS
Threat To Re eSign
British Ministry
TReuublIcan A. p. Leased WlreJ


LONDON, March 3. - Premier
Lloyd Georges threat to resign has
been suspended at the urgent solici-
tation of his unionist colleagues in
the cabinet, according to an authori-
tative statement tonight, but no JUS
tification for its withdrawal is said
to exist as yet.
Official denial Is made that any
exact time limit has been fixed for
receiving appearances OF loyalty to
the premier from the adherents of
Sir George Younger, the unionist
leader, although 1t is added that OBJ
viously the tension had not been ex-
tended definitely.
Meanwhile there Is no indication Of
any move on the part of the unionist
party to dethrone Younger as its
head. No meeting OF the whole union
ist party has been called, and the
general opinion is that the only hap
pening will be that the unionist min
listers in the cabinet--Arthur j. Bal
four and Austen Chamberlain-may
publicly reprove Younger for his tac-
tics, as Lord Birkenhead already has
done.
Speaking at Oxford today. Austen
Chamberlain announced that the
unionist ministers had unanimously
requested the premier to continue as
head Of the government.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that when
Premier Asquith resigned during the
war, Mr.. Lloyd George had not sought
the premiership. but desired to serve
under Arthur J. Balfour or Andrew
Bonar Law. Both these men thought
in the national interest that Mr.
Lloyd George should have the pre-
miership and he accepted the post al
their request.
Mr.. Lloyd George then said that Il
at any time he felt that the country's
interests would be better served by
the return to the party government
he gladly would retire in favor OF

either Mr.. Baifour or Mr.. Bcnar
Law,
'Mr. Lloyd George repeated that
offer to me the other day." Mr.
Chamberlain continued. And he
would not take my answer. but asked
me formally to confer with my party
and let him have their reply. I have
consulted them, and we have unani-
nously replied that we have the ma
tional interest and we have the in
terest Of our own party and that we
must take the broad and long view
and that would not be served but
would be injured by the prime min
lister resigning.

TRAGEDY IN LOUISIANA

It has not been proven that the Ku Klux Klan killed the men in Louisiana whose bodies have been found. There is circumstantial evil dence, such as the seizing of these men by persons dressed in regalia at least resembling that of the much discussed organization, that such body might have committed the crime. In this country every man, and by the same token every organization, is pre- stunned to be innocent until proven guilty.
 But
 Men are going about the communi- ty bearing arms because of the existence of the Ku kluX Klan. Ha- tired is in the air-because of the existence of the Ku Klux Kan. A machine gun company is protecting Investigating state officials-because of the existence of the Ku Klux Klan. Militia and guardsmen arc in or ap- proaching that community-becaus of the existence of the Ku Klux Kan. Tragedy, death, destruction threatens s-because of the existence of the Ku rKlux Klan.
 The Ku Klux Kan is seeking to gain a foothod in New Britain. And this is the season of Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men!"

Yet the news comes, grips our hearts and sends us on our way de- pressed in spirit, night unto hopeless ness.
 No, gentlemen, youths, boys--this unhappy wife is not calling to you for help. She does not ask you to do the things that have not been done by that scoundrel who swore to love, honor and cherish her until death do us part. Remain calm; let the law take It's course. Justice, drowning down upon the man who is the cause of her despair will touch her with gentle hand, will assuage her grief,

CHRISTMAS

Each year there comes a day when a great engulfing wave sweeps over the country gently but firmly oblit- erating the skeptcal mutterings of the cynic, confusing the subtle theories of the sophist by It's splendid power, carrying with 1t the doubter and raising high the ideals of peace, goodwill love, kindliness, right which are emphasized upon that Day. Above a world often dark, always covered by the haze of human. fallibility there shines a Star upon that Dayato give light to those who will looKupward. There is the symbol of the hope which intensifies the happiness of the for tunate; which lightens the unhappi- ness of the Respondent, which gives confidence to those who seek it in the place where it may be found.
 On this Day the traits of humanity which make for more universal joy ousness are displayed in the light of that Star. Few dare to dispute the power of the influence that inspires men and women and children on that day; few deny that this world would be a place of peace and happiness al- ways were the spirit of that day to fill the hearts of men forever. Therein lies the test of the truth of that day; of the things for which it stands.
 Again we approach the celebration of this Day the spirit of which trans forms the heart with touch of the Divine. Breathe deep of the spirit of that Day that its inspiration may De absorbed into the blood and being Of every soul. It was upon this Day that Jesus Christ was born.

THE NoRwALK TEST

Attention is called to the petition of the Connecticut Company to raise the trolley fare in Norwalk from 5 cents to 1-3 cents only for the pur- pose of noting the things the com pany did not ask and the things the company did not say. It is important that the matter of this petition be understood as the fact that the cor poration counsel of Norwalk is re- ported to have offered little opposi-
 ton" to the petition may be used as an argument in favor of the higher fare in all cases.
 President Storrs of the company, while asking for a raise in the fares, stated that the five cent fare over West avenue, a short haul, would re- main at five cents. He did not seek
 an increase in the fare over this short haul New Britain has never asked, recently, the lower fares over any but the short hauls in this city. The President of the company stat ed, according to reports: Throughout the entire system in the state we are making but very little over our oper- ating expenses" It was not stated, as
 1t was stated in the recent report
 published, that more money had been taken in Norwak since the lower fare was established, than formerly under the higher fares. (In fairness it should be noted that there was
 more jitney competition at that time). MT. Storrs, therefore, had no
 ground for saying, and did not say
 that the higher fare would increase
 the revenue. although it might well
 be that the higher fare will do this
 over the longer hauls withs the es-
 tablishment of transfer points as
 promised. The lowered fare ovef
 New Britains short hauls is all that
 has been sought recently. It is this arrangement only that promises great
 CT revenue over these short hauls.

 Much has been said in the news- papers of the country concerning the coal question. yet Fuel Administrator E. w. Christ says New Britain people do not realize the seriousness of the situation. He says that, according to present indications the month of March will find the city minus fuel, for domestic use.
 For this reason coal dealers have been asked not to deliver domestic sizes to anything but private Eesi- dences. Also, dealers have been re- quested not to deliver domestic sizes without adding 20 per cent buckwheat to egg or stove, or 50-50 mixture of nut and pea.
 This is where the rub comes in. New England people have been used to burning wood, and large sizes of coal, and many have the idea that finer sizes will not work in the or- dinary range or furnace.
 Contrary to the general opinion, in the anthracite coal regions where coal sells for half the price it brings here and people burn coal fires 365 days a year, it was almost a universal cus- tom until few years ago to burn pea coal exclusively in kitchen ranges and the old fashioned parlor heating stove.
 At the mines, where all size coal IS available, hremen In boiler houses prefer to burn buckwheat. In no case is there any difficulty. All it requires is to be sure and have good bottom before piling on the fine coal; after that it will take care of itself. Buck wheat coal is better for banking or for bringing up a slow fire in hurry but pea coal can be used for general purposes, and if handled properly, both can be used in any average grate.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2S.-The old thrill that set Sunny Pete' Webber atingle as boy when he waited for Christmas morning has come to him again after twenty-seven years in the Eastern penitentiary.
 This Christmas means freedom for Webber, the right to come and go when he pleases. There was a tone of wistfulness in the mans voice this morning when he said he wanted to walk along Market street and "see what's what"

 "The first thing I'm going to do when I get out" said Webber today lis to take a walk around the block. I think I'm entitled to a walk after twenty-seven years in prison.
 Then I want to go to Market street and just stroll along. Eve kept in touch with the outside world to some extent. But have never seen subway or an elevated and I un- derstand a lot of skyscrapers have been built in Philadelphia. N
