AS LLOYD GEORGE SEES FAME.
The Path of Greatness a Stony One,
 Premier Declares.

Criccieth, Wales, March 21.--The parishioners of the little chapel in this town, where Llody George is at tempting to isolate himself from. the worries of international diplomacy and internal politics, have learned from their visitors own lips just how disillusioned a man who has climbed to the topmost heights of statesman ship may become.
 Incidentally, Lloyd Georges little speech to them indicates the exhaus- tion of the premier's spirit, and his desire to rest.
 "But," said the premier, "the mountain does not mean an enviable spot. The higher you climb, the cold CT it becomes and the lonelier you will find it. You are exposed to ev- cry blast and every wind. Often you will find yourself encompassed by mists, on an unbeaten path and you must deny yourself the comforts and peace of home life."

DEER AT MERCY oF WOLVES.
Cold Weather in North Is Working
 Havoc With Them.

St. Paul, March 21.-Because hun dreds of deer have been deprived of their feeding grounds, and their trails covered with thick coating of ice, the herds are at the mercy of wolf packs, Forester W. T. Cox announced today.
 Their footing insecure, the animals weakened by days of hunger have fal- len easy prey to the ravenuos packs, it is said. Many have been driven in to the settlements.
 Farmers turnout the state are placing bales of hay within the deer s reach, and some have become so tame that they permit betting. Motorists have found deer too weak to walk along. They are being cared for by sympathetic farmers.

Speaker Gillett Consents to Suspen- sion of Rules--Thought Neces- ary Two Thirds Will Favor.

Washington, March 21.-Speaker Gillett consented today to permit the compromise soldiers bonus bill to be taken up in the House Thursday un- der a suspension of the rules. It is the plan to have the final vote be- fore adjournment that day after four hours of general debate, divided equally between opponents and pro- ponents.
 A two-thirds majority will be nec- essary to pass the bill under this pro- cedure, but those in charge of the leg islation predicted that they would have votes to spare.
