By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 18.—“If the alMi- ance with Japan could be merged into a greater understanding with Ja- Pan and the United States on all the problems of the Pacific that would be a great event, and it would be a Zuarantee for the peace of the world.” Thus spoke David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, before the house of commons today, in outlining the work of the recent conference of the imperial premiers. The premier said he saw no reason why it should be impossible to re- member obligations to Japan and at the same time preserve a_spirit of fraternity with the United States. It was a cardinal principle of British volicy, the -premier continued, that Great Britain should act in as com- plete accord with the United States as possible. He did not know of any buntry in the world with whom it as “more important to act in Con- cert. He declared that the surest way to make a success of the disarma- ment conference was first to reach an understanding on Pacific questions, and he hoped his view in this respect ould be taken at the Washington gathering. Will Not Discuss Irish. During his address Mr. Lloyd George revealed the fact that the ¢onfelence of the premiers did not discuss the Irish quéstion. He said that there was no burning desire to touch upon that matter. The pre- m defended the action of Gen. muts, the South African premier, with regard to Ireland. He said Gen. nuts had acted perfectly straight- forward and honorably, and that rything he had done was done with the full assent of the king and the minisiry. g -THE SORRY T CANT PLAY PINOCHLE WITH YOU, MurT!

We could not hl:: done it but for the fact that our Japanese ally came to our aid. “The Australian and the New Zea- land’s premiers admitted it. They sald: ‘We would not have sent our troops without that guarantee.’ And at the beginning of the war we cer- tainly could not have given the guar- antee but for the fact that the Japa- nese fleet came Phere to assist us in chasing the raiders. e Japanese Were Invaluable. “It was invaluable to us; it was one of the turning factors in the war. They loyally and faithfully to the letter carried out their obligations, and car- ried them out in the spirit. “Is it to be suggested that we now should turn around and say to them, ‘Thank you. You stood by us in tro ble, but we don’t need you any longer, 50 good-bye'? Would anybody like that in businss? The British empire must behave like gentlemen. “When you are dealing with a country that stood well by you in trouble and it is suggested that you should bring the alliance to an end when the trouble is over, I say that becoming to the British ‘would not be empire. “I do not believe there is any coun- try in the world, whether it likes Japanese alliance or not, that would think anything better of the British if we had broken off the alliance. They might appear glad for the mo- ment, but in their hearts they would despise us for doing it. “That does not mean that we are to FAREAST PEAGE 1S CHINA'S HOPE Formal Acceptance, Rgceived Here, Pledges Friendship and Co-Operation. China's formal acceptance of Pres- ident Harding’s invitation to take part in the discussion of Pacific and far eastern questions at the coming continue an alliance of this kind on any point against any one else, and certainly not against the United States.

If the alliance with Japan could be merged into a greater under- standing with Japan and the United States on all the problems of the Pacific, that would be a great event, and it would be a guarantee for the peace of the world. 2 ““The problems of today may be in the Atlantic. Yesterday they were in the German ocean, and they may pass to- morrow into the Pacific, and, when they do, the powers that are most greatly concerned in the Pacific are America, Japan and the British empire. “And China,” interjected a member of the House. “Certainly, and China,” the premler added. “Those four great countries,” Mr. Lloyd George continued, *are primarily concerned with having a_complete un- derstarding with regard to the Pacific. But the surest way to make a success of any disarmament conference is, first of all, to arrive at an understanding upon the Pacific. 1 do not myself be- lieve you will attain the same measure of success in a disarmament confer- ence until -you have attained to that complete understanding. 1 believe dis- armament would be much easier if you could get that clear understanding first, and I am hopeful that this view will be en. Weould Work Side by Side. “The British empire as a whole is agreed in the desire for complete friendship with the United States and to make arrangements which would remove every conceivable prospective obstacle to such friendship. Nothing would please the British dominions, as well as the mother country, more than a settlement which would make them feel that the British empire and America could work side by side in a common partnership for the Discusses Aliianee. “When you come to the question of al of the Anglo-Japanese said Mr. Lloyd George, ou must take into account how it operated.

No man who watched v hat happened could come to any oier conclusion than that it was loyally and faithfully interpreted id carried out by our Japanese ally. 1e Pacific was being raided by fast German cruisers; our ships = were Veing sunk. And we had to depend on the help of Australia and New Zealand.” The premier proceeded to describe how Great Britain's immense fleet was trained to the very last ship, new and old, in the gigantic opera- tions for protecting Great Britain's own_ shores in the North sea, the north Atlantic and the Mediter- ranean. “In the immense Pacific ocean and in the southern Atlantic,” Mr. Lloyd George continued. “how were we to guarantee a half million colonial and a million Indian__troops crossing Have Your Papering and Decorating Done —while you are away this summer.

Sherrill is of the opinion that the beauty of this piece of art is such | that the Meade memorial will com- pare favorably with any park statue anywhere in the world. is the work of Charles Groslys of Glou ter, Mass., designer and sculptor, wh has worked for more than six years on the creation of the statue.

Will Portray Virtues. In describing the memorial, Sherrill said: i “The problem provoked by thel chosen site for the Meade memorial | dictated a form which should be equa! in interest and fullness of workman- ship from every vantage point. Work- | ing upon this basis, the artist con- ceived a circle of figures which should | embody the qualities which are es-; sentfal to the character of a great| general. These six qualities—Military | Courage, Energy, Fame, Loyalty Chi alry and Progress—while recognizing their origin in the spirit of war, look | toward Gen. Meade as the composite : of their several virutes, “The figure of Gen. Meade is thus rendered the center of the artistic d | Col. | sign, and the focal point in the imagi- native conception. He stands, his| work accomplished, ready to step forth from the cloak of battle into the future era of progress. Chivalry (at his right) and Loyalty (at his right) | hold back the cloak, while Loyalty also raises aloft over Meade's head a | in commemoration of a gredt achieve- ment. Fame and Progress occupy the | i central position (right and left) on| ither side of the group. Fame, with the urge ever upward and on, strains upward_for .a_clearer vision of her obect.

The figure Progress, on the other hand, is dynamic in the strength of its own potentialities. It is a figure which | more nearly approximates the ideal, and which will gather from its own being { the wings of action. To its lert, Mil tary Courage clings with bulldog Te- nacity to the dominant figure of the rear group, War, from which it takes its being. To the left of War, the figure of Energy, vielding to the urge of Fame, | loosens his grasp upon the arm of War, | aquiver for the greater achievement yet to come. War, itself, occupying the central posiiton in the ‘rear group, a| aassive architectural figure, unchang- ing and unohanged since war first rav- aged the world, holds in his grim clutch | two memorial ‘tablets. His wings, in long sweeping gurves, stretch toward the standard which Loyalty holds above the head of Meade. The side groups are thus outlined against the ominous shadow of the wings of War. = “From the grim determination of Military Courage, through the figure of Energy, to the figures of Chivalry and Loyalty, the urge is onward and forward toward Progress and Fame, which, alone, of the group have the power to move with Gen. Meade into the accomplish- ment of the future. Although his dark wings may carry him through other ages and other lands, War will ever re- main the same, unchanging. But the great general wil move forward, leav- ing_behind him the static, symbolized in the figures of War and of Military Courage. _The command os ‘Forware LEEsSES ‘When the eyes do not focus properly the trou- ble is caused by weak- ness of the eye muscles.

By the Associated Press. RUSSELLVILLE, Ala., August 19.— Claiming that he was absolutely out of his mind, through desperation, be- cause of the intrigue in which he found himself enmeshed with Martha Henderson, “woman of mystery,” Fred R. Hall today told the jury in whose hands his fate will soon rest that the young woman had “hounded” him for two vears. Hall was nervous, but told a frank story of his relations with the woman he killed. He admitted that they were companions on trips to Wash- ington, New York and other cities. The dcfendant said he had given the girl large sums of money in com- pliance with her demands and mitted writing letters to her in which he told her he would divorce his wife and marry her. In explanation of such communications, he said such assurances were necessary “to ap- pease her, as she was a desperate {woman.” Henderson came to Russel- ville from St Louis against his wishes, Hall said, and the sight of her in his home town “drove him crazy.” He pleaded that he was not guilty of murder as charged by rea- son of insanity.
