DEMOCRACY IS IN
PERIL IN EUROPE
WAR TIME PREMIER OF BRITAIN
ISSUES WARNING IN AD-
DRESS AT CHICAGO
U. S. AND BRITAIN BULWARKS
France, Also, Lloyd George Believes,
viii Stand BY Popular Govern
ment in a Crisis

Chicago, M.-Five years after the
World war, democracy, which In 1918
won a great victory over autocracy, is
in peril, David Lloyd George, the war
time premier of Great Britain, de-
clared in a luncheon address here. A
wave Of autocracy seems to be sweep
ing over the world, he said, but against
1t the United States, Great Britain and
France will stand together.
Russia threw over democracy a few
months after starting the experiment."
the former premier asserted. ITALY,
Spain, Bulgaria and now Germany are
talking about a dictatorship. Democ-
racy is in part, five years after the
greatest triumph democracy has ever
had.
"Why is democracy more sure,
safer? 1t is slower to begin, it doesn't
bring its forces into action in the way
perhaps, and autocracy does, but in a
struggle 1t is the heart that tells, and
democracy sustains the heart, and
what happens is that democratic insti-
buttons alone can produce and train
men that are able to appeal to nations
to rise to those heights of sacrifice
which are the last citadels of freedom
In all lands.
Now, when democracy Is in danger,
when I can see the throne Of democ-
racy tumbling in land after land, here
you have a land of democracy. Britain
Is the land of democracy, and France,
1 believe, will stand by democracy,
and whatever happens these three
great lands will stand together against
this wave of autocracy which seem
to be sweeping e the world"
The arrival of the distinguished Wis
itor in the city was marked by a great
demonstration. Met at the station by
n reception committee headed by May
or Dever, Mr.. Lloyd George was taken
on a drive through the Loop section.
preceded by n band from the Great
Lakes naval training station and an
escort Of cavalry and thanked and fol-
lowed by mounted police and Official
cars. Crowds packed the sidewalks,
while others hung from windows and
other places of vantage high up on the
buildings. Confetti and streamer
filled the air, While there was a con
tinuous roar of welcome as the auto
mobile bearing the former premier
with barred head passed through the
streets.

The rest of dinner or luncheon Is
Usually easier to plan than the des-
sert. What Is generally wanted is
something light and attractive-a sort
of climax to the meal. Sweets In
some form are necessary to a we'll
rounded diet. Dessert Is the logical
line to serve them.
Any dessert must be chosen with
<egard to the other dishes Of the same
meal. After a heavy course of roast
meat and vegetables, q custard or
other dessert containing milf and eggs
adds unnecessary protein to the meal +;
1t Is better to serve fruit. whole or
cut. fresh or canned, or several fruits
cut up together; or II a combination is
used at the beginning of a meat meal,
the dessert may be omitted entirely.

Of my sort. 1t is their custom to COM
plete a dinner. which frequently has a

tice which offers an easy dessert for

honey or maple syrup Is frequent
ly liked for dessert with bread and
butter. biscuits. cake or In pastry. To
save work In the middle of the day,
these sweets are more often used at
lunch time than at dinner.
Puddings Too Fat.
A steamed or baked pudding, such
as suet or plum pudding. with a hard
sauce or a ssuce made with egg. is
often too rich In starch. protein and
fat to be suitable after these foods

San Francisco, Calif.-A verbal bat

of the country was charged with try

question, ragged several hours at the
fifth annual session of the American

which avoids using the name of the

New York.-Beaten, crushed after
n of the most spectacular worlds
series fights in history, the New York
Giants surrendered to the Yankees the
world championship banner they have
flown for the last two years. And,
with this record-shattering $1,OO0,0O0
title battle Mt an end, the emblem of
supremacy flew tatters atop the Yam

monument of the diamond.
The Yankees won the sixth and final

Giants, by coming from behind and
scoring five runs in a dramatic, pulse
