Genoa, May IL David Lloyd
George, British Prime Minister, has
drawn an alarmist picture of Europe.
In addressing the British and
American press representatives, he
declared that the object at Genoa
was to clear up political difficulties
which were full of menace.
He compared Europe to seething
racial lava, which, like the earth's
crust, was seeking proper level.
This adjustment was full of peril.
He emphasized that Europe must
take cognizance of hungry Russia,
which would be equipped by an an
CRY Germany.
"The world must recognize the
fact" he said, that Russia and
Germany combined contain more
than two-thirds of the people of
Europe. Their voice will be heard
and the Russo-German Treaty is the
first warning of it,"
Danger Proof Cited
AS proof of the danger he cited
the fact that there was no frontier
line from the Baltic to the Black
Sea, including the Rumanian, Cali
clan, Polish and Lithuanian 'front.'
iers, which had been accepted.
81 wish America were here" he
said. "Some people think we want
the United States for some selfish
purpose. This is not true. We want
America because she exercises a
peculiar authority; her very aloof-
ness gives her the right to speak.
America could exercise an infiu-
ence no other country could COM
mand. She could come here free
and disentangled, and with the
prestige which comes from her in
dependent position she would come
with the voice of peace.
But America is not here; SO
Europe must 40 her best to solve
the problems in her own way"
Points to Rising Storms
Mr.. Lloyd George gave it as his
opinion that the disorganization of
Europe would affect the entire
world, including the United States.
He said he was amazed at people
who ignored the portentous fact fac
ing Europe today.
Unless Europe reorganized-in
other words, unless the Genoa con-
ference succeeded in arranging a
pact of peace-he declared he was
confident that in his own life, GER
tainly in the life of the younger
men present, Europe again would
welter in blood.
1--WE triumphed in the war;" he
said, but our triumph will not last
forever. II our victory develops in
to oppression, vengeance will follow.
Just as Germany's action which
started the World War was followed
by vengeance.
1--WE must be Just and equitable
and show strength; we must realize
that Europe is not on good terms
and that storms are rising which we
must deal with.
Solution Necessary to Peace
I'VE had hoped that the end of
the great war meant the end OF
brute force. but unless Europe's
problems are solved there is no as
surance that force has given way to
right"
Mr.. Lloyd George solemnly urged
the press to instill patience. good
will and fellowship throughout the
world. "You ara here" he conclud-
ed. ITO instruct. to sustain. to guide,
and beg of you in the interests OF
the worlds future not to add to any
obstacles which are In the way but
to use your influence to help in the
solution OF difnculties which are

TO FACE JURY
AFTER l8 YEARS

Barnwell, June 3O.-Milton Still, a
white farmer, who lives a feaRh6iles
from this city, has been arresd As
warrant charging him with the NJ
der of Barnie Diamond 1s years ag6
The arrest is said to have resulted
from difficulty between Still and his
brother-in-law, Frank Owens, about
ten days ago, at which time the lat
ter shot Still in the leg. Still had
Owens arrested, whereupon Owens
mother, Mrs. M. A. Owens, divulged
information which led to the arrest of
Still on the charge of murder.
From the best information avail
able, it seems that the evidence
against Still is very meager, as no
eyewitnesses to the alleged murder
can be located. In May, 1904, the
body Of Barnie Diamond was found
lying by the Southern railway tracks
about two miles south Of Barnwell,
and it was thought that he had been
killed by train during the night. On
the night of his death Mrs. Owens
was at the home of Milton Still, he.
son-in-law, and now states that she
heard cries and the sound of blows
coming from the house of white wo-
man named Mamie Philips, who lived
just across the railroad track from
Stills home. Mrs. Owens, it is un-
derstood, charges that Diamond was
killed at the Phillips house and his
body placed on the track by Still in
an effort to hide his alleged crime.
The case will probably be brought
to trial at the October term of the
court of general sessions.
