geous position in the trouble zone

ent trouble between Panama and Costa
Rica is that the United States, while
exercising a special protectorate over
the former government, is in the posi
tion of assisting Costa Rica. Another
odd feature of the trouble is that the
Goto region is not and never has been
denied by Panama as belonging to
Costa Rico.

HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA.
IRISH SEVERANCE
MEANS CIVIL WAR
PRIME MINISTER GEORGE REITER
ATES STAND TAKEN IN RE
CENT SPEECH
WANT TO BE RIGHT AND FAIR
Says Great Britain Cannot Counts
nance Tearing Up Of The
United Kingdom
Barnsley, England.—Great Britain
cannot countenance the tearing up ol
the United Kingdom, said Premiei
Lloyd George, in referring to the Irish
question in a speech here recently. II
would mean civil war in Ireland itself,
he declared. He hoped, however, he
said, that common sense would pre
vail.
“I am proud that Great Britain hat
risen above all prejudices and pro
posed terms such as have never been
proposed before,” the prime ministei
said. “They are terms which com
mend themselves not only to Great
Britain, but to the whole civilized
world. I trust common sense will
prevail.
“Whatever our views are we cannot
countenance separation. We can no
more countenance the tearing up ol
the United Kingdom than America
could countenance the tearing up of
the Unitd States. Severance would
lead, in Ireland itself, to civil war.
If southern Ireland is not satisfied
with freedom, I fear all hope of ac
commodation must be abandoned. We
only want to db what is fair, right and
just. If Ireland has a right to sep
aration so has Scotland and so has
Wales, but no Welsh or Scotch pa
triot would ever dream of demanding
separation.
1 believe that when the Irish people
realize the sense of the freedom which
is theirs, that real freedom is offered
them, and that all they are asked to
do is to come into the produest com
munity of nations in the world as
freemen, I believe yoi* will find that
that gifted people will realize that their
destiny is greater—a free people in
side a free federation of peoples.”
In the course of his speech, Lloyd-
George made several striking utter
ances.
“We have all gofi .prejudices,” he de
dared. “I have seen anti-Irish prej
udices lashed into unwisdom and I
have seen anti-English prejudices on
the other side lashed into unwisdom.
For God’s sake, let us clear aside prej
udices. A nation that lives on prej
udices is doomed, just lik a man who
lives on hatred.
“Whether it is in public or private
trust, no man can endure who has a
vendetta in business or polities, and
a nation's vendetta is just the same.
iysa dour pasturage of hatred. There
is no nourishment, nothing but disap
pointment in it. Let us sweep it on
one side, whatever it costs, even when
there is reason in it. I am proud to
think that Great Britain has arisen
above its prejudices and has given its
prime minister a fair chance to speak
in the name of the people of Great Brit
ain.
“If you had severance it wouljd lead,
in Ireland itself, to the most cruel and
most terrible civil war Ireland has
ever seen, and help would be rushed
from all sides and every part of the
world to assist the parties who were
fighting out the battles. We could not
witness civil war of that kind at our
own doors which would involve our
own people throughout the empire and
other peoples as well.”

brought back to Silsbee and dumped
out on the main street, the sheriff
said. No reason has been assigned
for the attack.

some jewelry from a score of men.

Jack to his own mother.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
is greatly relieved by constitutional treat
ment HALL’S CATARRH MEDICINE
is a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result. Unless the in
flammation can be reduced, your hearing
may be destroyed forever. HALL’S
CATARRH MEDICINE acts through the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys
tem, thus reducing the inflammation and
assisting Nature in restoring normal con
ditions.

Phonograph records are used in
many Catholic colleges, seminaries,
convents and churches for teaching
the Gregorian chants. This style of

solves the problem.

It isn’t right to drag along feel
