Refers to President's "Dis
astrous Blunders."
Burglars again visited the grocery
store of Louis London, 5520 South
Thirtieth street, Thursday night and
carried away a truck load of gro
ceries, according to a report made
to the police.
London said, an invoice, roughly
made, showed that two large copper
boilers, several sacks of flour, four
cases of eggs and several hundred
pounds of Other staple articles were
taken. He says his loss would run
into thousands of dollars.
About 10 days ago London re
ported that his place had been
looted of goods valued at $1,000.
South Side Brevities
London, Dec. 19. 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.

Alleged Insane Man Sets Fire . Washington, Dee. 19.-Increases

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.
In ten of the industries there was
an increase in the number of persons
employed and in three a decrease,
the report says, the largest increase
29.8 per cent, being shown in auto
mobile manufacturing.
Increases in the amount of pay
rolls of 11 of the industries are re
ported, the largest, 68.4 per cent,
being in men's clothing.
Over 200 employes of he Port
land, Ore., Railway Light and Pow

recent award of the State Concilia
