The attitude of the United States with regard to set tlement of affairs in Europe occupies a large part of the editorial dis cussion of Premier Lloyd George's speech before the house of commons yesterday. The Morning Post scores the premier for "trying to throw the blame on the American nation" and cal's the speech "a confession of failure." It defends the American senate's action on the league of nations, and says Lloyd George "put his money 011 the wrong horse when he sup ported President Wilson's disas trous blunders." The newspaper then attacks the league of nations as a. chimera, declaring it should be scrapped as a failure. The Daily Maij, emphasizes the importance of the announcement dealing with Turkey, which it says undoubtedly involves the end of Turkish rule in Constantinople. It regrets the desperate need of a so lution in the near east, and says that the uncertainty regarding final de cision by the United States com pelled the allies to act without further delay. Capt .

OFFICERS MAKE (Payroll Increases CAPTURE BY USE f Shown In Reports of OF CHEMICALSI 1 1 Industries of U. S. Alleged Insane Man Sets Fire . Washington, Dee. 19.-Increases r u n t r' in the payrolls and the number em io nousc Before oivmg ployed by the majority of 13 repre- nimsrlt Up, A battle between four deputy sheriffs and an alleged insane man resulted yesterday afternoon in the capture of Lucien Adams only after formaldehyde and ammonia had been thrown into the room where he was barricaded and after he hafl set the room on fire. e A complaint against Adams was issued by the insanity board. Deputy cl rr tt r , . . oncriiu noye, i ospisii, Aicuonaia and Christensen went to the house, 3611 North Thirtieth street, to get Adams.' They found him barricaded in his room. He shouted defiance at them. The door was tied on the inside. Pulling at the knob, the deputies found it fastened by ropes. When they finally forced it ooen a little they were assailed with a shower of natirons hurled by the crazed man. A deputy was sent back to the sheriff's office for formalhedyde and ammonia. When he returned to the house they were thrown in at the door. Instead of bringing Adams out. this only served to anger him. He set fire to some papers in the room. But before long the ammonia fumes and tjie smoke of the fire were too much for him. "Here I come," he shouted and opened the door and came out. He' was docile then and allowed the deputy sheriffs to take him to jail without a struggle. It is said he has been in the in sane asylum before and his oresent trouble is a recurrence of his madness. sentative industries m November compared with November, 1918, are shown in the figures made public to day by the bureau of labor statistics.
