Lloyd George last Monday, in his address in the
house of commons outlined a Russian policy more
restricted and reserved than was regarded among
the possibilities some time ago. Again there may
be suspected a yielding to France, and, quite prob
ably, to British popular opinion. The policy an
nounced by the premier, on that occasion was sub
s~tantially that the Soviet government must give
pretty stiff guarantees of good behavior to obtain
any recognition at all.

WOMAN STUNNED,
BURIED LIVING
AUTOPSY SH0 vs.
Husband Held-WeapOn Not
Found - Claims
Innocence

PAINESVILLE, Ohio, Oct. 81
Deputy sheriffs today searched woods
near here for the pistol used to beat
Mrs Hazel Burns into unconsciousness
before she was placed apparently still
alive in shallow grave in & lonely
ravine. Discovery of the weapon, au-
thorities believe, will aid in forging
the strongest link in the chain of evil
dence about the slayer.
Henry Burns, husband of the dead
woman, who is held in Jail here charged
with the murder, continued to insist to-
day that he is innocent.
That Mrs. Burns was buried alive
was the belief of authorities following
an autopsy.
