Lloyd George, Explaining Result of Genoa Con. ference, Declares War Peril Exists {
Insists That Germany, Help
 less Economically, Could
 Give Valuable Military
 Assistance. s

London. May 25,-(By Associated Press )-Cheers greeted Premier Lloyd George when he entered the house of commons this afternoon for a debate on the foreign policies of the government which is likely to have an important bearing upon his political future.
 MT. Lloyd George in beginning his speech said he purposed dealing only with the business of the Genoa con- ference and did not intend to discuss German relations or British relations with France, an opportunity for which discussion would be provided next week.
 To Let Members Judge.
 After reviewing the objects of the conference he said that in regard to the question whether the conference had succeeded he would simply state the facts fairly and let the members judge them fairly.
 Cheers from the ministerial bench es followed this utterance.
 Three Alternatives.
 There were three alternatives in dealing with the Russian situation. Mir. Lloyd George pointed out. The first was force, which had failed. No one had suggested that at Genoa. The second was to leave Russia to her fate. t.t.1i
 But how?" he asked, ''could we insure Europe against the risks this policy would involve? The Russo-
 
 of peril ] mean"
 Although peace had been establish ed in Europe it was quite clear, said Mr. Lloyd George, that the atmos- phere to a certain extent remained.
 As for Russia it was hopeless for her, whatever her government said the premier, to expect to extricate' herself from the pit of squalid misery without the assistance of the other 90 nations.
 German Menace.
 Germany, said the premier could not help Russia economically. not 1av- ing the capital but that was not the case with ornaments as there was every natural resource in one coun- try and complete technical skill in the other.
 The British delegation he said. realized that it was necessary for the peace of the world whatever was thought of the soviet government that some arrangement with Russia be made in order to enable her to help in swelling the volume of trade on which so many millions depend and in order to give sense of stabil- ty and security to Europe"

the capital for fear l might fall upon the skylight and fracture pane or two and thus put some sliVers of glass in some sleepy senator's or con- Crcssman's nose"
 ''If you really have any sand in your craw to make good the ehal- lenge." Mir, Herrick added, why you just mosey around to my office and we will go to the war department to- gether."
 Advising Fahy to take out some life insurance Herrick said he had none, adding;
 Personally, I don't have to as am not leaving any dependents be- hind. For l have neither father nor mother, sister nor brother. uncle or aunt, nephew or niece nor cousin even in the 43d degree. Life to me is not sweet and l don't care tive whoops in gehenna if you go up couple Of miles and stand here on her nose and let her hit

 Trsesl to Crawl Under.
 According to eyewitnesses of the af- fair, Moretto had attempted to cross under a train of cars which were standing on siding in front of the passenger station. As he crouched and stepped between the wheels the train started to move. Not daring to advance, he remained prostrate on the ties paralle, with the tracks, lodging each axle as it came along. When the train was brought to stop, he was pulled out with the help of Ed ward McAloon, taxi man.
 There were about 30 cars in the train, and five of them were seen to pass over the prostrate youth be- fore William Brown. the engineer, tic waving for him to stop the train
 The youth showed remarkable pres ence of mind while under the cars and succeeded in coming out of the experience with only slight injuries to his leg.
 Detective Sergeant William c. Hart and Policemen Thomas Feeney and Patrick O'Mara were walking down the arcade when the train started, and they hastened to the as- sistance of MT. McAloon who was running along with the train to help the boy They chased down the track and called to the engineer who sensing Nthat something was wrong. stopped the train.
 Paints When Rescued.
 Mir. McAloon and the policemen then pulled the lad out from under the car and rushed him, in a dead faint, into the telegraph office, where a hurry call was sent in for the police ambulance. Moretto was soon revived, and it was found that he was suffer ing from an injury to his leg. He said that one of the axles was so low that his foot got caught and tn jerking it loose he hurt his ankle. He was able to walk to the police ambulance in which he was taken to the hospital for examination. It was evident that he was not seriously hurt.

FORD RUNS 81 MILES ON
GALLON OF GASOLINE

A new automatic Vaporizer and
Decarbonizer. which in actual test
has Increased the power and mileage
of -Fords from 25 TO so per cent. and
at the same time removed every par
ticle OF carbon from the cylinders is
the proud achievement of John "A.
Stransky. 500 South Main street.
Pukwana, South Dakota. A remark
able feature Of this simple and mex
pensive device is that its action is
governed entirely by the motor. 1t
is slipped between the carburetor
and intake manifold and can be in
stalled by anyone in five minutes
without drilling or tapping. With It
attached, Ford cars have made from
40 TO 81 miles on one gallon OF gas
oline. Mr.. Stransky wants to place
a few of these devices on cars in this
territory and has a very liberal offer
to make TO anyone who is able to
handle the business which is sure to
be created wherever this marvellous
little device is demonstrated. II you
