Lloyd George's Victory
The vote sustaining Lloyd George ought to
Drove to his enemies that the House of Commons
prefers him to General Maurice and other carping critics of the government. Few Americans have an insight into English politics, but almost all of them believe that Lloyd George is the most
capable man in England today and for that reason wished him success in his rebuttal against the attack of Asquith. Both General Maurice and Asquith chose an
inopportune time to try to embarrass the government. The Allies are fighting with their backs against the wall, and while the soldiers are performing heroic deeds in Flanders and France, it shows abominable taste in politicians to attack the government. If ever, England today must put up a solid and harmonious front to her enemy. General Maurice's attack was a stab in the back. Lloyd George showed his customary tactics in nipping the opposition in the bud by publicly nnswerincr his critics and branding them so that
the public could draw its own conclusions. England blundered along for many months, making
one costly mistake after another, and avoiding
defeat by narrow margins until she imauy sue ceeded in whipping both her military and polit
ical organizations into effective shape. it is fortunate for her and her associates in arms that
she has a premier of Lloyd George s fearless can hre to handle the government. The quicker As
ouith concludes to keep silent and the quicker a
muffler is put on General Maurice, the better off
will England be. .
The War Garden Army
More than 3,500 children will be enrolled in
the war garden army which Secretary Lane is organizing to help win the war. Every child that has planted a garden or is assisting its parents
in the cultivation of ground will receive an in sicrnia showing enrollment.
Gardener Murphy is head of the movement here. His report Friday that 98.14 percent of the children of Richmond are cultivating gardens
sets a national record. Lester S. Ivins of the United States School Garden Army, which is operating under the au
spices of the Bureau of , Education, said Murphy's record could not be excelled anywhere in
the United States.
This suggests that Richmond may lose Mur
phy before many months. Under a ruling of the state commissioner of education, the local school boards cannot spend money for salaries after the
school term has closed. This, of course, would
automatically release Murphy in a few weeks. The community cannot afford to lose him until the crop which has been planted is garnered next fall. 'Between, the planting of a garden and the harvesting of a crop intervene weeks that may spoil all the initial effort. A competent man must not only direct the work of cultivating the
coming crop but also maintain the interest that
has been aroused in the spring. Thousands of acres of war gardens went to rack and ruin last year because the children lost interest while the
crop was growing. .. Bichmond cannot afford to lose Murphy
Garden supervisors are so scarce that he can ob
tain a job within forty-eight hours. Civic pride and patriotism suggest that steps be taken at
once to keep him in Bichmond during the sum
mer months. Murphy cannot live on nothing
He must have an income to exist. His work is of the highest order. Its excellence cannot be
exceeded anywhere in the United States. Con
certed and expeditious action is necessary if he
is .to be retained in Richmond.

The Day of Reckoning
From The Saturday Evening Post
E once read the confession of a bank president
who was on his way to the penitentiary after
having attempted to corner the Chicago wheat
market. He set out, he said, merely to ouy a Dig line oi
May wheat, expecting to sell it in sixty days or so at a handsome profit. But there was more May wheat foe sale
than he had calculated upon; having once got in he bad to keep buying in order to hold up the price, until finally he got in so far there was no way out except to go on and
corner the market.
We have forgotten just how many millions he stole
from the bank, but it was all the bank haa m stcmaDie shape. Day after day he sent money stolen money to
his brokers to buy wheat with, and covered up the trans
actions by putting dummy notes in the bank's portfolio.
One of the inquisitors asked him: ' "But did you not
see thai you were wrecking the bank? you must nave known it could not stand that terrific strain. You must
have seen you were going to smash."
VNo." he replied; "I did not know. After a certain
time I never knew bow much I had taken. I never figured it up. I knew if I sat down and figured it up it would paralyze me. I thought every hour the market would turn
in my tavor. I had to just shut my eyes and go ahead. Why this sea of blood in France,? Overthrow of the Czardom removed the only real menace to Germany. Germany could have had a secure peace any, time the last year. But the military caste did not dare sit down and figure, it upor let the German people figure H up. Nobody in Germany could make peace. The German people could not, for they lacked the power. Hindenburg and
Ludendorff could not. for peace would show up the
frightful extent to which they had looted the bank. Their strategy consisted In shutting their eyes and plunging on, in hope of something eo dazzling that the awful wreckage
would be overlooked. There is no way of dealing with them except as the bank president was dealt with in
handcuffs.
(.iJY HAL POD . ' . There comes an hour at each day's close I love to sit alone. And live again in dreams vith dear old friends that I hav known. I turn the pages in my book of life until at last ' ' I've builded me a bridge that leads from present into past. My memory, like a ship, sails oer life's sea in quest of truth. And finally casts its anchor in the harbor of my youth. : My fancy seems to carry me upon the wings of time , To the wonder days of childhood, in these twilight dreams of mine. Tonight my fancy wanders to the flays of Aqld Lang Syne, I see again the faces of those dear old friends of mine. And backward through the years I speed, until at last it seems I find the path that leads me to the palace of my dreams. I seem to live the past as o'er this beaten path I roam. My palace is a cottage 'tis a place called-"Home, Sweet Home. . A wondrous sight I sem to see in vision's faint design, A picture of my mother, in these twilight dreams of mine. In memory's ship again I sail unto the fannost end .- ' , Of the wondrous sea of life where lies the isle of "Just Pretend. And when my ship has sailed its course and found the isle at last, I'll seek' the harbor 'of my' dreams and there my anchor cast. Here on this isle of "Just Pretend," this fairy spot cupreme, I'll trod the paths of youth again 'mid unforgotten scenes. How wonderful my life would be, each hour would be sublime, If I could live forever with these twilight dreams of mine. It seems that time has halted and turned backward in its. flight. For my truant fancy carries me in childhood dreams tonight. The scenes that memory pictures at this wondrous twilight hour, To my heart in its dreaming, are as perfume to the flower. And as my fancy wanders on I live the old days o'er, I trod the paths that lead me to my childhood days once, more. And there again I seem to see in vision's faint design, A picture of my mother, in these twilight dreams of mine. ,

Dear Folks Will you please try and poke up the American song writers and get them to send us more war aongs? The last boat brought only 78.552 new songs about the conflict. We need many more than that. There should be a war song for every soldier. As it is now, three or four of the boys have to sing the 6ame song, which is not as it should be. Tell the American music publishers to get busy, as the supply now is far below

U-BOAT LOSSES CUT IN HALF FRENCH REPORT
Big Reduction Shown in April, 1918, Over April, 1917. 4f By Associated Prel WASHINGTON. D. C, May 11.
Official French statistics on tbe sub
marine warfare received here in a dis
patch - from France today show that tbe total losses of the allied and neut
ral ships, including accidents at sea.
were approximately only one-half as great during April this year as In April, 1917. ' '
Cut to 381,631 Tone. In April last year 634.685 gross ton
were lost, while this April's figures are 381,631. Submarine attacks now are more costly for the enemy, the dis
patch ' points out, owing to the (act
that the attacks are chiefly made with
torpedoes instead of gunfire as waa the case before merchant ships were adequately and efficiently armed.
- Foe Operations Fluctuate. Attention also is called to the fact
that each time the Germans have made an offensive on land they made a corresponding effort with their ebb-
marines '
, Thus during tbe second half of March the number and activities of
submarines . increased. The first half of April marked a very distinct les
sening, attributed to the counter efforts of the allies.
