London, Aug. 19.--Premier Lloyd George, in a message issued to the electors of the Caerphilly parliamen- tary division, where a by-election is in full progress, asking for their sup- port for the coalition candidate, says: "There has 'been a remarkable change in the political horizon in the past few months. Tempests are sub- siding. _ There is a spirit of concilia~ tion abroad in the industria] world. "Some of our greatest troubles have been adjusted, troubles that menaced the industrial life of this country, and its trade and com- merce. "There is a better spirit prevailing between employers and workmen. There is a better outlook in the in- dustrial world than we have wit- nessed for a long time. '"Here and there extremists still cry*out: 'Destroy the capitalists; de- stroy private enterprise; destroy Coalition; let us Socialize every- thing.' "But I believe the common-sense of our people-is growing' weary of incitement to class war, of strikes and lockouts and threats of direct action, of sterile party strife. "The British workman, with .the | melancholy example of ruined Rus- | sia before him, is not going to make another Russia of the homeland for which his comrades gave their lives, and to this common-sense I attri- bute the better spiritzih industry. "There is a better outlook in Ire- land as well, We have seen a re- markable transformation. I pray with all my heart that we may reach a settlement of the long controversy between the Irish and British peo- ples, ---- The Irish Issue. "It has been a bitter and waste- ful feud--one in which there has beén, for ages, a catalogue of disas- trous blunders, of endless opportuni- ties Tost. Let us trust that this one will not pass by in vain. "We are also engaged upon the problem of disarmament. The na- tions involved have wisely determin- ed to talk things out among them- selves before any conflict develops. - "We accepted with joy and de- light the invitation of the president of the United States, and I pray that the result will be a path té peace that will make the Pacific ocean a really pacific ocean, "It does not matter what treaties yo usign, what pacts you enter into between nations. Seo long as nations arm against each other, war will en- sue, : "I earnestly hope we shall reach some understanding, some real ar- rangement for keeping all these armaments within reasonable limits. "These are the tasks on which the Coalition is engaged--tasks that oe- cupy our thoughts and demand our unflagging attention; "Can anyone tell me why I should be attacked while J] am engaged in these tasks? What is there for any- one to quarrel with? "Peace with Ireiand, the ending of the deadly feud to the settlement of which Mr. Gladstone gave the glori- ous end of a splendid career; the or- ganizing of peace and a pact of peace with the United States of America, and entering into arrangements to put an end to those swollen arma- ments that have devastated the world, slaughtered millions and mil- lions of mankind in the prime of life, and left Europe half a wilder- ness--can you tell me why I should be attacked while I am engaged in these things? "Every worker in thi; country ought to help us in the great ideal Wwe are pursuing; therefore, I appeal to all my countrymen in Caerphilly to strengthen our hands so that we may tackle the great problems with all the :courage and strength that unity alone can give."

Ang 19.--The present- 2tion of $500 to the new high sch board by John Harold, MP., as a memento of the seven members of his mother's family who had served as Brant county teachers, was a feature of the laying of 'the corner stone of the new high schgol at Bax ford.
