The congress of Vienna, which was the nearest ap- proach, took 11 months for its work, but that congress sank into insignifi- cance as compared with what had been settled by this, he said. The time spent by the conference in framing the League of Nations saved time instead-of wasting it, the premier declared, as the league would provide means for the adjustment of possible. errors, z “I would leave the Russian Bolshe- viki until they see. their way out of, rather than see Great Britain landed in bankruptcy,” the premier declared. “It is not true that the “United Somme battlefi SUFFRAGETTE pats ; , , gr mates LO: ie -16.—Deportation sions among the delegates. from the Ur Intervention in Russia would” be ' i ian Tray. of .San_ the greatest. act of stupigity, the) BHeott Irs ste, RAS peta i fe a friend gt Baron a $ ietermectby the British 1914. 3 + wir: mt Confirmation, of, a. repart; this sft- ernoon that the Ohio company Was drilling in_an offset sell Yo the pio-| neer well in the Lusk field on the| southeast quarter of the ‘southeast quarter of section $5 Was reccived late this afternoon from~the Ohio offices in Casper.
