LLOYP (5EOHCK SEES GREAT
CHANCE AFTER THE WAR
Says
'There Is a New Land Confront
jug Us and World Must
Trepare.
(London Special.)
"There is a new land confronting
us," said Premier Lloyd-George in a
recent speech. "What manner of
country it will be" he continued,
"will depend on how the war goes
and on how things go after the war.
"It am more confident today than
I have ever been, and for reasons it
would not be relevant for me to en
ter on at the moment; but one of the
latest reasons is the impression made
on me by the American troops I saw
in France. They are superb in ma
terial and in training, and in the way
they have borne themselves in the
trying conditions of battles theyhave
fought. I found a great spirit of
confidence which strengthens our
conviction of victory.
"The war has upset everything and
when it is over the falling back into
normal conditions will be another
disturbance. There will be a great
social and economic disturbance.
"There are two alternatives. One
is that the war will have sobered the
millions who have passed through
the fires, whether in France or in
the anxieties at home. Tneir vision
will have been broadened, their
sympathy deepened, their outlook
and purpose made clearer, firmer and
more exalted. There are millions
who have been in daily contact with
death, walking hourly over its trap
doors. They have come into contact
with very terrible realities. That is
one view.
"The other is that there are mil
lions who for these years have en
dured privations, discomfort, wretch
edness, as well as pain and terror,
and who have made up their minds
to have a good time for the rest of
their lives when it is over. That is
a very dangerous frame of mind for
a nation to be in."
J. L. Gibson, former deputy sheriff
of Walter county, Georgia, was ac
quitted of the charge of murdering
Elgin Stewart of Atlanta, 4th. Judge
Hill, indicated that from evidence it
was evident Stewart had attempted
to interfere in the domestic affairs
of the Gibsons. A man's home is a
"sacred circle," declared the judge
"and when another man attempts to
break into it, the husband is justified
in defending it."
With the estimated receipts possi
ble, under the new revenue, bill as
thus far tentatively agreed upon by
the House ways and means commit-
fetee, from $500,000,000 to $1,000,-
000,000 less than the eight billion
sought, Representative Kitchin, chair
man of the committee, says that the
bill will not be ready for presenta
tion in the House before the latter
part of this week.

British Aviation General Says Allied
Air Fleet Will Soon Reach
Berlin.
(Washington Special.)
The bombarding of Berlin from
the air is not far from realization.
American airplanes and American
aviators will take part n the greatest
air raid of the war when it takes
place.
It is possible the allies may drop
bombs on Berlin this fall, and al
most certain that the kaiser will be
routed out of bed in Potsdam palace
by an air bomb next spring at the
latest.
This is the belief of General W. S.
Brancker, controll-general of equip
ment of the British air industry, who
has been in this country for several
weeks in consultation with govern
ment officials in charge of aviation.
"It is within the realm of certain
ty," says General Brancker, "that we
can send a fleet of airplanes to bom
bard Berlin in the spring, if not this
fall, as we have repeatedly bombed
Cologne and other cities on the
Rhine. -
"We have notrs'Ufficient planes for,
a really big offensive, in my under
standing of the term. We have plen
ty of airplanes and can built plenty
more but we lack engines, and we
have about reached capacity in en
gine production.
"We need America's help, her
great, resources and her men. To get
the best results, the creation of a
secretary of air forces, or the equiva
lent, under whom air fighting, air
plane production, equipment and per
sonnel will be a separate branch of
combat, just as the army or the navy
will be advisable. -
"We have built up a big airplane
program to take the Liberty motor
and bomb Germany, but Aemirca can
not now spare these motors, and so I
fear our airplanes from the air ser
ously delayed. Your ar forces ought
to be organized on a tremendous
scale, and that is what we look to
America to dor"
In General Branker's opinion, if
it is possible to fly to Berlin and
back, which is more than 800 miles,
the flight across the Atlantic from
Newfoundland to the Azores (the
longest lap of'the journey) which is
1,200 miles, can be made. This will
mean an organization airdromes and
repair plants in Newfoundland and
the Azores.

"THE KAISER AS I KNEW,
FOR FOURTEEN YEARS'
Extract From a Letter Written by
Dr. A. N. Davis, The Kaiser's
American Dentist.
The oath of allegience which every
German soldier and public official
takes binds him first to suport the
kaiser, with his life and his money,
and then the fatherland.
That is what the kaiser referred to
when he said, in the course of an ad
dress to a body of recruits at Pots
dam: "Body and soul you belong to me.
Iw I command you to shoot your fatli
ers and your mothers y$p
must follow my command without at
murmur."
The same thought is involved of.
course, in the kaiser's invariable us
of the posessive pronoun, first per
sin in talking of the German people.
He always says "my people," never
"the people." -
Did the German people counten
ance the submarine warfare and the
slaughter of innocent women and chil
dren, in defience of all rules of inter
national law and the dictates of com
mon humanity? They had only one
criticism to make of it it was not
comprehensive enough ! It was abso
lute folly, if nota a crime, they said,
for Germany to prescribe safety lan
es for neutral vessels to use. The
whole world should have been de
clared a war zone, that death and de
struction might be dealt wherever
and whenever the oportunity offeredL
Every ship that sailed should be
sunk, and every American who ven
tured within range of a German gun.
on sea or land, should be shot. That
was the universal sentiment Tf
Almost 70 per cent of all the
sugar consumed in this country is
used in the households. So it is up
to the women to make, the sugar go
around.

it was one of our family medictefla.
Also in my mother's home, when I
was a child. "When any of us child
ren complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, vm
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it.
for it certainly has saved us lota of
doctor hills. Just a dose of Bladfc
Draught when not so well saves &
lot of days In bed."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which. It
now enjoys is proof of its merit.
If your liver Is not doing It duty;
you will suffer from such disagree
