THE WITCHES BREW OF
EUROPEAN DIPLOMACY

Washington.-Great Britain fears
France. Lloyd George tried by dip
lomacy and the threat of force at Con-
stantinople to check the power OF
France. He failed and he has been
thrown out of office by his impenalist-
ic hackers at home.
British labor detested Lloyd George
and would have turned him out of Of
flee by its own strength and for ex-
.cellent reasons in the course of time.
But his going at this time is the work
of the imperialists alone. In his place
they have set up for the time being,
at least, Andrew Bonar Law, motor
ious foe of France and author of the
letter made public fortnight ago in
which the French were warned to be-
ware Of British vengeance.
The French reply to that threat
came quickly enough, and was known
to the world 48 hours before Lloyd
George fell in London. The newspa-
per LIE Temps, organ of the French
Imperialists, reversed its editorial pol
icy Of two weeks earlier and said that
an alliance between France and Rus
sia must be arranged as a balance
against England and a restored Ger
many.
Great Britain emerged from the Turk
crisis groggy and Keeling under the
blows of French diplomacy. Her
Creek army had been destroyed, her
oil wells in Mesopotamia imperilled,
and her hold on, Constantinople brok-
en-. France had brought the Turk
back into Europe and was backing the
demand of Russia for seat in the
coming peace conference.
That is not all. France had an en-
voy at Moscow all this time, in the per-
son of Edouard Herriot, mayor OF
LYONS. On the day Herriot left Mos

it had arranged to give the British
Jrquhart firm for the exploitation OF

Moscow did not conceal its motives.
mi said that the political hostility OF
he British made it unyise to grant the
British fear and resentment to a crit
cal point and marked Lloyd George
or slaughter. With the French es-
Russian delegate to the
,eace Conference and even limiting at
russian admission to the league ct ma

RUTH DORIS RICHARDSON.

Ruth Doris Richardson was born at
MELVILLE, Wis, Dec. ID, 1896, and died
at the same place at the home of her
parents, March 81, 1922, bringing her
age to Is years and three months.
She attended the Edgerton high
school and graduated June 3, 1915. Her
health has been considerably impaired
for the last four years. Four years
ago her parents took her to California
thinking change of climate would bene-
fit her condition, and for time no Sc
rious results had been anticipated, but
short time ago she was taken down
with the flu, and on account of her
weakened condition she was not able to
withstand the shock.
Ruth had always lived at home with
her parents excepting for the last two
years when through the busy season
she had charge as bookkeeper of the
Edgerton Decorating company's store
here in this city.
Gods ways are past finding out and
it is hard for her loved ones to under
stand why a young life radient with
sunshine and joy while it lasted and to
all appearances full of hope for bright
future, should be so suddenly cut off.
Under such circumstances as these we
do we'll to bow submissively to Him
who doeth all things we'll, and His suf-
ficient grace will enable us to say, mot
our will, but Thine will will be done. "
Ruth leaves to mourn her untimely
departure her father and mother and
three brothers, Fred, Howard and Clar-
ence Many other near relatives and
loving friends.
Her funeral took place from the
home on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o clock,
services being conducted by Rev. F..
w. Schoenfeld, and burial in the Mil
ton Junction cemetery.
