LLOYD GEORGE TALKS TO
COMMONS WAR SITUATION
LONDON, May 25.—Tonight in
the British House of Commons
Lloyd George reviewed the war si
tuation from every possible angle,
avoiding anj reference however ^o
Russia.
George said that the success ot
the Admiralty in fighting subma
rines had greatly increased. The
fighting on (lie west front had cov
ered the troops with glory and had
severely injured the morale of the
German soldiers, as admissions to
this effect a"e frankly made by Ger

Dealing with home conditions
and the serious labor unrest that
so generally prevailed, Lloyd
George said that steps were being
taken tc d< al intelligently with this
discontent, a good deal of which
arose from the interruption of the
quantity of imported food which
had been received heretofore He

first, got a black eye when the fire
actuaries made public their statis
tics for the year 1916. The fire
loses throughout the country last
year amounted to 1214,000,000
and the year before $170,000,000.
The authorities attributed this to
“American carelessness”. The mere
impartial critics declare that the
greed and the grab in‘'the rush for
big profits compelled employers to
ignore elemental precautions for
the safety of the premises and ejn
ployers, which is more like it.

said that the policy of the govern

further trouble from this source.
Referring to the presence of Am

LOCAL ITEMS.
The Fire Department engines
turned on the water through the
mains to allow Street Superintend
ent Mayer and his force to wash'
down Second Avenue which was
done yesterday. The sluicing has
greatly improved the appearance
and sanitary condition of the street
and a considerable quantity of mud
and muck was washed into the
drains to be conveyed seawards.
Great quantity of tea! ducks are
reported to have gathered up at
Sinroek and Penny river. In addi
tion geese are said to be plentiful
above ordinary on all lagoons. The
| native son is quite familiar with the
' game laws and instead of exposing
j for sale in the street, takes to the
| back street and the residence sec-1
i tion where he will invite an offer
I for “big teal” or “fat goose”.
Jack Douglas devised a steam
calcominer wherewith he has white
washed the interior of the boiler
room of the Wild Goose Heating
plant. Using a pressure tank for a
mixer the white wash was made
therein and steam taken from the
boiler provided ample pressure for
the spraying of the interior with the
wholesome lime and water. The
machine did *he work so well with
this atomizer that very little lime
was used on the extensive surface
covered and in a very short space of
time.
And the ite goes home. Under
the kindly wafting of the balmy
northeast breeze on Thursday night
the shore ice began to give way and
yesterday was breaking off from
the shore in chunks. The evening
saw the sea pretty well open and
navigation begins to assume phases
of feasibility. The mouth ot
Snake River is not yet open to craft
which might be launched, but just
as soon as it is, there will be a rush
for the Bering and coast navigation
will at once begin.
• • ■
An important charter has been
taken on the launch Standard.
Charles Wickman, one of the best
known carpenters, mariners and en
ginemen on the coast, has taken
over for the season the fast ana
roomy launch Standard from Cap
tain Wagner of the Snake River
Boathouse, and will operate it be
tween Nome and Dime creek dur
ing the season. Not being of very
] heavy draft the Staidard is ex
pected to make the landing under
ordinaly conditions of water in the
Koyuk river. It is understood
Wickman has enough freight guar
anteed for the first several trips and
many are now waiting also to take
passage with him.

The scramble to get chunks of

SING SING, May 25.—Dr Waite
went to his end at eleven o’clock
on Thursday night as cool and un
concerned as a man could well be
The man walked in to the death
chamber without a twitch of a
muscle and took his seat in the
electric chair without a word of
comment, while he watched with!
dispassionate gaze the men make ,
him fast with the straps. He looked
at the place with evident curiosity
as he entered the chamber, and
shook hands with those about him
quite heartily as he said good by.
I The word was given when the un
fortunate man was made fast, and
there was a sudden tugging at the
straps and as if heaving a sigh the
body relapsed limply on the straps
in the chair when the current was
shut off.
Two more currents were passed
through the body and the electrocu
|ion was pronounced a success
Justice was satisfied.
