FRANCE MAY RESTORE
RELATIONS WITH POPE
Compromise Drafted but Peo-

Paris, Nov. 4.
The problem of restoring French rela-
tions with the Vatican is to be solved
by bringing back the clergy under the
authority OF the State on all matters Of
a non-reiigious character the Pope
yielding his sovereignty on all but ca
nonical questions. Since the separation
OF Church and State the clergy under
orders from Rome refused to recognize
State authority and the successive
Popes have practically remained with
out direct contact with the clergy as a
result.
Dispatches say tie Pope will soon
issue an edict accepting the compromise
drafted after two years of negotiations
by Senator Jonnart, believing that it
prestige but will best conform TO the
mentality of the French public
1t remains doubtful whether the
compromise will be accepted by the
French Parliament. Strict Catholic or
eanizations have been carrying the fight
to the political field and have gained the
support of numerous leaders. including
Premier Poincare who see by maintain
ing status quo an easy method OF
holding the popular vote. which is un-
alterably opposed to a revival of clerical
groups in politics.

Reduced Living Costs.

Regarding unemployment Mr.. Lloyd
George said Here is something the
women of the country should bear in
mind; The effect of improving our credit
has been 20 reduce the cost of living"
which. he said, was something Sto be
proud of. This was due TO the wise,
courageous and sound finance OF Austen
Chamberlain and Sir Robert Horne who
practiced ruthless economy, paid their
way, paid off some of the debt and re-
duced taxation Mr.. Lloyd George as
serted they had laid the foundation for
better trade, raised the status of the
teaching profession, made more generous
proxision for unemployment than ever
before was made in this country. as well
as helping to build up a healthier and
stronger race.
The ex-Premier claimed credit for the
enfranchisement of the women, for
reconciliation with the Irish race and
for the establishment OF peace in the
Pacific on & permanent basis.
"a Claiming that the late Government
was the first of all the belligerents to
abolish conscription and the first to re-
duce armaments, Mr.. Lloyd George said !:
yet despite all that reduction we
maintained the prestige of this country
high in the councils Of the world. We
never let down the flag on land or sea
and when il was challenged in the East
we showed in spite OF the reduced crma-
ments that Great Britain was prepared
to maintain her honor"

Regarding the future he declared the
duty of the patriotic citizen was ito

first thing was TO meet the Socialist
party's challenge to private enterprise.
There never was a time in the history
of this country when it could afford less

said Mr.. Chamberlain in dealing with

He suggested that all candidates In
the elections should be asked whether
they were prepared TO place the in

said Mr.. Lloyd George in concluding,
that ut this critical moment you should
have in the coming Parliament a strong
body of Independent men-men who are
prepared TO face any and every party in

Speaking of the dangers from extreme
socialism and from like conservatism
Mr. Lloyd George laid aside his notes,
leaned his head backward in his char
acterlstic fashion and declared:

LLOYD GEORGE ASKS
MIDDLE COURSE GROUP
Observers See Plea for a Cen
ter Party.

LONDON. Nov. 4.-David Lloyd George
to-day told an audience OF 5000 London
ers that the country needs a group OF
men in Parliament strong enough tc
insist upon a middle course, free of all
extremes" This was the outstanding
feature of his address and was inter-
preted by many political experts as a
strong plea for the creation of Center
party in the new Parliament.
He said that where there was pact
between the Conservatives and the
Liberals in any constituency he hoped
the voters would stand by 1t honorably
In districts where no such mutual non
opposition agreements existed he sug-
gested that the candidates be questioned
as to whether they put the interests OF
the country above party interests.
Mr. Lloyd George gave no intimations
of the policies he intends to pursue other
than the reference to the middle course
group.

Refers to Drummer BOY.

Mr. Lloyd George, who has just re-
covered from a slight throat affection.
began by saying he was just out OF
the casualty station and entering the
fighting line,- where he was glad TO pc
again. He launched into his speech
with an answer to Prime Minister Bonar
Laws sarcastic characterization of him
as a drummer boy. The little Welsh
man declared he was not ashamed OF
this description and added, amidst
cheers, that Germany lost the war be-
cause she had no drummer boy.
Qn speech last Thursday, Mr..
Bonar Law compared Lloyd George to
a drummer in the army, saying he
served useful purpose in war time as
he did the drumming better than any
one, but that when the charge hal
ended and some had fallen and others
were in the hospital n drummer would
be out of place in a hospital unless his
drum sticks were taken away from
him)
"I am content with the testimony Of
great Generals like Foch and Wilson,
but 1 think 1 did something toward
equipplng our armies, when they were
short, which wasn't quite a drummer
boys task" Mr.. Lloyd George said.
The achievements OF the late Govern
ment in the Industrial and financial
realms were not the results of a mere
negative policy, Lloyd George main
tanned. They were the-fruits Of initia-
tive and hard work He said that q
tax on capital must be resisted firmly,
adding that he did not anticipate any
great danger from the revolutionary
elements in the coming elections.

The Prime Minister, who was discuss

assertion, prefaced it by saying that the
most important and the most difficult
subject of home politics was the position
in Ireland.

Bonar Law. ito leave the main direction

Denies Favoring Capital Levy.
Referring to the much discussed levy
on capital Mr. Bonar Law said the daily
press reports that he was In favor OIL
such q measure were absolute nonsense
He explained that during the war, a
Labor deputation visited him to discuss
methods of raising money. AT that time
he expressed the opinion that levy on
capital was perhaps the best solution
of the problem of reducing the national
debt burden but added that IT was q
question not for the working classes but
for the man who had money and VINO
had to choose between paying levy
or an income tax.
He pointed out to the deputation that
Labor's position was entirely different,
for the Laborites advocated capital
levy, increases in the income tax and

sideration which had made him even
