Republican Promise Kept. “In the campalgn two years ago the republicans called attention to the low market price of government honds—they were then selling at from $84.64 for the second 4s to $95.82 for the victory 3%s. We told the people that this depreciation was caused by the lack of confidence. We also predicted that if the republicans were restored to power that the gov- ernment bonds would soon be at par. ‘This prediction has been borne out by the facts.” —_— CHURCH BUILT IN A DAY.

At the same time from all lodges had not been re- cefved. The announcement was made at the first of the regular Saturday night meetings of masters of lodges, chair- men and vice chairmen of lodge com- mittee team captains and campaign workers, held at Masonic Temple. In { making the announcement of the {amount reported pledged, Mr. Cooper Istated that the total amount now {subscribed was $671,273; that there | were a total of 7.462 subscribers and lthat of this number 295 had signed pledges during the week. Could Attain Goal. “I might state,” he sald, “that the number of pledges and the amount pledged maintains the ctly average, or, in other words, if every Mason in lodges of the District gives on the average of the amount given this week, or the amount tentatively set as the quota for each Mason, we will have promised our goal of $2,000,000. This, to me, is the most encouraging feature of our first week’s work.” Chairman Cooper stated that steps have been taken for the placing of three large signs on Temple Heights, Connecticut and Florida avenues, which will bear, among other thing: “Site of the future Masonic temple. These signs will be lighted at night. He also told of plans to throw a flood light on the front of the pres- ent Masonic Temple, special signs for lodge rooms and small migns for au- tomobile windshields, all being a re- minder that a new Masonic temple will be built.

And at the same time each of the 4,000 was thanking inwardly Potentate Leonard P. Stevart, who originated the barbecue idea to dis- pel any temporary woes or allments of Almas men. Members of the Shrine began ar- riving at the farm at noon, and a few hours before the final horn was vlown by “Officer” Jenkina they were i still streaming in. The real parade, however, started on the Ellipse at 0 o'clock, and as the caravan wended its way up 16th street into Georgla avenue fully 300 automobiles could be counted. The procession was headed by Potentate Steuart, his official divan and Almas Band and patrol arrayed in their flashing col- ors of the orient, tout ensemble in a large truck. “Howdy, Noble,” Everywhere, For an hour or 80 following the ar- rival of the first big detachment a sort of ‘get-together” meeting was held. It was “Howdy, noble, every- where. In a few minutes everybody seemed to know everybody else, in- cluding visiting nobles. Then Almas Band started up, and for a short pe- riod was the center of attraction. Finally Roy L. Neuhouser, acting a8 marshal of ceremonies, succeeded in getting all the nobles into a forma- tion, after which he led them across a spacious fleld.

County Prosecutor Beekman, it was stated, is prepared to go before the grand jury with evidence, on which he s confident the grand jury will indict. Two of his witnesses, it was asserted, were eye-witnesses of the double slaying, which occurred on the old Phillips farm, near New Brunawick, on the night of Septem- ber 14. They are members of the Church of St. John the Evangelist, of which Mr. Hall was pastor and Mrs. Mills choir leader. One Is a man and the other a woman. They concealed their knowledge of the crime as long as possible, it was srid, because they did not wish to disciose their presence together at night on the Phillips farm, a favorite trysting place for New Brunswick couples. Barbara Tough's story, it was learned, was much at variance with information received from other sources. One thing she told the authorities, it was sald, was that at the time Mrs, Hall was married to the minister, ten years ago, there was & “slip-up” in plans which cailed for Henry Stevens, Mra.

COALITION WRECK A NATIONAL CRIME, LLOYD GEORGE SAYS (Continued from First Page.) of real campaign enthusiasm, which was repeated by those gathered ‘within. “The banner of party strife h: been hoisted at the Carlton Club, sald Mr. Lloyd George in opening h speech in defense of his administra- tlon at the meeting of the coalition liberals here this afternoon. “The great combination of men of all parties and creeds for national purposes, the combination which led us to victory in the war and which was taking us gradually but surely out of our troubles in peace, has been ceased to serve the nation, but be- cause a party was not getting enough lout of 1t, and it is for the people of { this country to decide whether party jcomes before the nation. “The combination was subjected to criticism from more diverse and. con- {fiicting quarters and viewpoints than {almost any government. It had on or two disadvantages. It had nc steady partisan press which could be depended upon, whatever happened to defend its action. A second weak | ness, from the viewpoint of dealing | with and disposing of criticism, arose out of the fact that no ministers in any administration that ever existed in this country have been so con tinually hard worked. “] am now going to begin to tell the story from day to day, from week to week at any rate, until the elec ’tlon is over, and having done so. !am willing to put my record in the {hands of the people. I have served | them well, honestly and sincerely, and | with_one ‘dominant purpose. namely, to serve my native land to the best of 1 my ability. Government Won War. “Governments can organize material | resources and resources in men. They |can organize the natton at home and iface and sustain their responsibilities. 11t there is failure at home it means | taflure on the battlefleld. Loss of ! morale at home is always reflected on the battiefield. They were cioseiy Te- | Jated in the war and stories at home af- fected the soldiers in the fleld. ., “That is one reason why Germany broke down. Their soldiers were brave. Let us recognize an enemy’s courage. But they heard stories of starvation, privation and misery at home. That un- dermined their spirit and courage. “It was vital for the ministers hers to sustain a spirit which would clear !the road to victory. I claim this gov- ernment did everything a government could do for that purpose. We did cur Dest to promote unity at hume and among the forces, 50 as to enabie the ifull strength of the allies to be con- centrated at the right point and at the right moment, and as a maitter of fact the leading part {n promoting that unity was taken by us.” Mr. 'Lloyd George declared the resolu- tion forming the basis on wWhich the league of nations was built, was moved by the British delegation at the peace conference, of which he was the hcad. Declaring the treaty of Versailles had become the charter of liberty to tens of millions of people today, and pointing out that its first clauses had established the league of nations, Mr. Lioyd George said of that treaty: Many Races Liberated. “It restored Alsace and Lorraine to | France, it restored the Italian provinces inorth of Italy to Italy. These ques- ! tions, which were & kind of tumor in | the constitution of Europe and a source |of irritation and inflammation, {removed. We liberated a aumber of races which for centuries had been un- {der the rule of the oppressor. In central nd southern Europe popuiations which umbered in the aggregate 20,000,000, i were freed by one great act prepared in Paris and signed at Versailles, which has given & charter of freedom to mil- lions of people. “We destroyed the great armaments in central Europe which made the war. Conscription in central Europe is gone.
