The settle ment of the Irish question has remov ed a deeply rooted cause for misunder standing between the British empire and America, Lloyd George declared today in a copyrighted cable to the United Press. The premier said that with co-operation of the Irish race and open dealing, peace among nations will go forward with new power. He has watched with admiration and thankful ness the vigorous efforts of statesmen at Washington and regreted that work connected with the Irish conference ing the United States after the confer ence. This message was Lloyd George's first exclusive utterance, giving his idea of what the Irish peace settlement may bring about, and will be read with tre mendous interest irk England and Amer ica. lis!

An official announcement which will assure the success of the arms conference is ex pected at any moment. Unusual opti mism prevaded the delegations as it was understood that Tokio instructions favored the acceptance of the "quad ruple" understanding; and the non-fortification of the Pacific island is to re place the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The only discordant note is the demand of France that she be allowed a higher ', navy ratio than Japan's. There are in dications of less friction in the Chinese discussions. Senator Borah in an in terview today demanded a revision of the Versailles treaty as the only means of preventing European disaster. crrespondent. PARIS, Dec. 8. England is looking to her own interests first, last and all the time frequently with scant re spect to and even to the detriment of France's legitimate interests. The above paragraph sums up and boils down the concensus of opinions of certain semi-official circles, jour nalists and observers on the underly ing reasons for the increasingly evident divergencies and friction between the British and French foreign offices. The bitterness over the Franco Kemal accord and the Wiesbaden agreement are only the most recent manifestations of a condition that lies deeper. The following gathered from many sources conversations, newspaper and unofficial quarters attempts to set forth the French viewpoint as widely expressed in France on the matter of the highest importance in the postwar relations between European nations. For three years France has been try ing vainly to reconcile her vital inter ests with England's desires in an effort to maintain the Entente Cordiale so sailles treaty. Mot of the time the British and French policies have been in accordance; but, according to the trians more bitter comment, that was only be cause England's interests happened to be the same as France's. Whenever they diverged' it was France who in variably made the concessions. Frequently when England's interests or policies dictated it, the British for eign office or Lloyd-George took inde pendent! action, sometimes counter to the fundamental interests of France. The outstanding instances are Eng land's dealings with the Soviet govern ment through the so-called "Soviet trade commission," and Lloyd George's frankly hostile attitude towards Po- Ey the Inspector If one didn't have the privilege of kicking, of registering a roar, what what would be the pleasure of being a citizen, and naturally the one on whom we wish to implant the most emphatic token of disapproval is a public ser vant, and the city dad comes in. first and foremost, for he is working with out salary and evidently likes it, or he wouldn't take the job and the brunt of complaint. Surely everyone has com mented favorably or otherwise on the work of the city trustees, especially re garding crossings and sidewalks. We rounded up one of the councilmcn dur ing the week and he hazared a few things done: First, he showed sixteen concrete street crossings, which isn't at all bad; then he pushed a pencil a mo ment and it developed that nearly 2,000 feet of new concrete sidewalks have been laid this summer, which with or dinary prudence on the part of pedes- should land the majority up town dry shod.

She has already advanced over 60,000,000,000 of francs to her countrymen on Ger many's account for reparations. As far as Frenchment can perceive, England's policy toward Germany and Russia is not animated by any love of Powers Accept Agreement IBy United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. All of the powers have accepted the "quadruple" agreement it was learned authorita tively this afternoon.

In the eyes of French bondholders any dealings by England with the Soviets, especially trade relations, serves to strengthen the Bolshevik regime and lessen just that much the chances of their bonds ever be ing paid. Until the Bolsheviks agree to pay Russia's debts France can never view with equinimity any nation resum ing relations of any kind with them least of all her former allies. Perhaps the thing that smarts most is England's position regarding repara tions. It is charged that England has consistently tried to make matters as easy as possible for Germany, usually at the expense of France. It is emphasiz ed that England will worry little if she never gets a cent from Germany. She has accomplished the ruin of the com peting German merchant marine and the German navy is at the bottom of the sea. Her homeland is untouched by war. jections, but only to the method and not the fact. Frenchmen cannot under stand why. France asserts that Eng land was informed of the basic lines of the projected accord in London in j March and again in April. There was no objection. So France went ahead. Within a few days after the conclusion of the accord .England suddenly dis covered serious objections, the British foreign office pointing out five in stances where the accord differed from the ideas they had of the accord. France claims these differences are merely dif ferences in form; England claims they are in substance. On a number of other questions France cannot see eye to eye with Eng land. But it all boils down to one very apparent concrete fact that much of the time the interests of France are not the interests of England. And the aver age Frenchman cannot understand why France shouldn't look after her own in terests even as England is constantly doing. er cities that did a lot of advertising, contracting and disputing and did not equal the record. Again it is necessary to harp on the advertising in Carson. Over in Reno very recently a chain store was opened to the public and one had to fight his way in, not because it is new, but be cause it is advertising goods at a low er rate than the rival around the cor ner. The result is that all of the Reno merchants have cut prices to the bone and things are cheaper than heretofore. Nor is that all. Even the Carson pub lic takes the Reno papers and without the specific assistance of kryptox glasses they have been able to read the prices. The consequence is that the concrete road has been well patronized and in just sixty minutes from home they are spending their money where the advertising eminated from. If the Carson merchant doesn't believe this just look into some of the home coming autos each and every night; and they have a habit of telling their friends. Good news, like bad, spreads- rapidly. After following two months of law requirements and waiting on architects' diagrams, together with public discus sion, the new roof is to be laid over the gaunt walls of the high school build ing, providing the contractor ha3 a stand-in with the weather man. It has been found necessary to cut out some of the interior embellishments, do away with some painting here and there and otherwise economize, but as a whole, the building when roofed and remodel ed will meet the requirements of this city and county, and from the general talk it will at least be more convenient and easier kept warm, which is some thing. The fact that the reconstruc tion can te made witnin tne nre insur ance money is an item worthy of con sideration, and it is possible that the delay may have effected some of the economy. In the meantime, and fof some time to come, the rising genera tion is progressing as usual, and in one or two classes the isolation has been found beneficial, as it has resulted in more attention to the particular "class work. This last item comes from a couple of dear girls who are wasting a couple of perfectly good domestic car eers on somebody's else darling.

And' she certainly spends it. One who is prone to figures went over the list a few days ago and some start ling results came forth. First, he esti mated that the State Capitol and pris on paid out $35,000 per month to Car sonites, or people who make it home, or a landing field. Then the county pay roll runs up to about $1,500, then the federal government pays out close to $3,000 per month. The railroad car ries a pay roll of approximately $10,000 and the Indian service, it was figured, with salaries and improvements, foots up $7,500 or better. The chief hotel has been doing its share with a payroll and expense account of over $2,000 per month, while the .lumber yard and creamery hoist the list up another $500 per month, and this does not include the several families who are paid by the gypsum people at Mound House nor the money expnded to miners this past year, nor the profits from the farming element, and they profit or they would be out of business. But even w ith these exemptions it is close to $60,000 cash monthly that comes into the hands of the Carsonite from one source or the other, making a pay day that would be welcomed in many manufacturing sec tions of double our population. It can therefore be said that we are entitled to a $250,000 court house and marble em When the taxes were lifted, both in per cent and property valuations, there was a general growl that was heard distinctly at the county building. Mon day witnessed the taxpayer digging down into the stocking to meet the de mands and before night practically all of the property owners had liquidated with the. county clerk and treasurer. It did take some hustling to meet the de mands, but it is paid and we are on our way to hustle the next payment due in June. Even those who entered the loudest complaint have confessed that the old city has pushed ahead; no mad rush, mind you, but with buildings of county, state arid individual making, and every one a credit to any city.

Should another seas on prove as profitable from a building standpoint Carson will have gone on record as to uplift from muddy cross ings to concrete walks, from unrentable houses to those in demand before fin ished, and with no idle houses within its limits. There is demand for more and the high rate of taxes has not scar ed the property holders, for it has all been worth the effort.
