RIDICULE "L.G.'
BERLIN, TO-DAY.
MR. LLOYD GEORGE, GEN- ERALLY POPULAR IN GER- MANY, HAS STIRRED UP A HORNET'S NEST, THOUGH THE ATTACK IS NOT WITH- OUT HUMOUR.

Found Shot Dead In Motor Car
Vienna, To-day.
The tragic death of the beautiful 20-vear-old daughter of the Paraguayan Minister, Miss Ingrid Weingreen, is presenting a baffling problem to the Vienna police.
MISS WEINGREEN, A DEVOTEE OF THE OCCULT SCIENCES, WAS FOUND DYING IN HER CAR ON THE MAIN VIENNA-TRIESTE HIGHWAY NEAR NEUNKIRCHEN.

All that it contained were a
