CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-Mrs. Emma

of the little Greek Orthodox church
of st. Michael the Archangel, her
head bowed as if in prayer, shot and
killed the Rev. Basil Stetsuk, as he
knelt before her to receive, by a
special concession, a Sunday confess

The first bullet struck the priest
full in the mouth just as he knelt
and said: MY daughter, what is
it?"
Two women seized Mrs. Stru-

priest from the vestry and fired
four more shots at him, two into the
back and two which merely passed
through his gown. She was saved
by police from ain angry crowd.

of Confederate Leader He

'(COnvriuht 1903


NEW YORK, Oct. S.-When
David Lloyd George set sail for
America a week age he said he had
no mission. Today was in Canada
still without a mission. But when
he returns to the United States for
a longer stay next month he will
have mission.
Believe it or not, Lloyd George
| likes war. He declares now that
peace is the great problem of the
world. But like every man who has
lived so long in the atmosphere of
war, Lloyd George cannot divorce
himself completely form its spell.
Lloyd George was more a part of
the World war than any other head
of government. Even Clemenceau
could not drink in the military side
of the war as England's prime min
lister did. Lloyd George got a ire
mendous kick out of visiting the bat

He talked with all the commanding
generals and many Of the lesser
| lights of the allied armies. He talk
ed with them as one military man
to another and it often was said of
| the prime minister at the British
front that he seemed to have all the
military knowledge of some of the
| graduates of the staff college.
To Live Over Sixties
/ And so it happens that when
Lloyd George returns next month
| his mission will be a military one.
He wants to go to Richmond and to
motor through the Shenandoah val
ley. He may extend his trip of OBJ
servation as far as Harper's Ferry
and to Gettysburg. Lloyd George
wants to live over again the cam.
paigns of Stonewau Jackson. He
wants to view the battles in the
retrospect from the Confederate
side. He knows every detail of the
avail Jackson is one of the great mill.
tary heroes of history.
| In this admiration of the dashing
Confederate leader, Lloyd George is
but expressing the view held by all
the professional soldiers of Great
Britain.
The battles of the American Civil
war long have been the subjects oil
closest study in the military schools
and the army staff college in Eng
land. The strategy and the tactics
employed in those conflicts of more
than half a century ago still furnish
the ground work for a military edu
cation in Great Britain. And in the
World war the British staff found
ITSELF constantly guided by the his
tory of the Civil war. OF all the
generals engaged in the American
war, the British long ago settled
upon Stonewall Jackson as the mos

LLOYD GEORGE WILL TREAD
STONEWALL JACKSON'S PATH
THROUGH VIRGINIA VALLEYS
his visit to America to go over the
terrain Of Stonewall Jackson's fights.
Warmly Welcomed

his visit to America to go over the
terrain of Stonewall Jackson's fights.
Warmly Welcomed
Although Lloyd George is making
his visit as a plain private citizen,
it is difficult to conceive how he could
have been more formally and cor
daily welcomed than during his
brief stay here.
Attentions also were showered
upon his wife, Dame Lliyd George,
and the attractive young blond
daughter, Miss Megan Lloyd George.
All the Lloyd Georges were plung-
ed right into the midst of American
jazz and 1.-The glorification of the
American girl" as they call the
more or less undressed New York
reviews these days. The former
premier said he wanted to see some
thing typically American at the the
alter. So they took him to the new
Music Box Review, where the music
was typically American, the jokes
extremely American, the girls typi-
cally American and the costumes
typically tropic, to say the least. But
the Lloyd Georges seemed to like it
all tremendously. There is a crash
and "blam" to American reviews
that is missing in the quiet but
dainty and finished performances in
London. But Lloyd Georges life in
New York had been attuned to crash
and "blam" even after two or three
hours on American soil, so the at
mosphere of the review was much
to his liking.
Daughter Is Clever
Miss Megan Lloyd George had an
experience entirely new to her. She
met lot of unterrified American re-
porters. They fired a barrage of
questions at her, wanted to know If
she smoked, if she intended to fol-
low the footsteps of her illustrious
flasher and go into politics, whether
she was going to get married and
when, and what she thought of the
feminist movement.
Miss Lloyd George said she might
take up politics some day. why
not?"
She does not smoke, but she would
not criticize those who do. She is
too young, oh, much too young
to discuss marriage. There is so
much time for that sort Of thing.
Miss Megan has not met many
American girls but hopes to on her
return to this country. She quite
captivated the reporters and proved
herself more skillful in parrying
questions than they were in pro-
pounding them.
