'This was the real significanc: of Mr. Lloyd Gaorge’s diseourse’’. [ne words of Mr. Lloyd George are described Ly the **Kelair’’ as ‘‘brutaiity against France and intended to encourage German troops to immediately cross the frontier. The ‘‘Journal’”’remarks, ‘‘the least that ean be drawn from the English Pre- mier’s speech is that it is dangerous, as it misleads Germany into believing she will get what she desires which cer- tainly she will not.”” The ‘‘Petit Pari- ~ sien”’ declarted Mr. Lloyd George was ~ playing the game of Germany and de- ) nied the truth of the assertion that the | indigenous population of upper Silesia | was 'German, | '"'Ne one’’, it sdded, "has the right eithe® in England or | France to disregard the rules of common | sense and coolness.”” ‘'France does nut permit her hand to be forced’’, declar- ed the **Echo de Paris’”’ and will not | mermit t e industrial districts which has | come to her eastern ally to be taken | away from her.”” The majority of the | newspapers were inclined to think that the words of Mr. Lolyd George exceeded I bhis thoughts and the "‘Journal’’ asked it- . self if the British prime minister did | -not try to take revenge for his check . on the question of reparations. | London, May 16th.—Teclegraph and | telephone lines in the British Islands . through~ut ali northern Europe have . been seriously interrupted by the vreat ' magnetic storm which virtually para- | lyzed wire transmission in Canada and . the United States on Saturday and Sun- - day.
