SIX MILLION deep a meaning for wartime Amer- The same intense interest is taken in Eng- land in the election of Parliament members as is taken over here in the choosing of a president, because a Parliament opposed to the premier means the premier’s resignation. England is now on the threshold of a political campaign similar to that America will face in 1920. This authoritative dispatch makes the issues clear to Americans. By Newspaper Enterprise Ass’n.) | London, Eng. Aug. 29.—Lloyd | George is going to ask John Bull | and Mrs. John Bull to back him up. That is the meaning of the coming parliamentary election in which wom-! en over 30 years will tote for the first | time. Despite this high age limit some ob- servers predict that 6,000,000 women conceded that, barring some} foreseen turn in the course | ar, the country will elect an overwhelming majority pledged to| help the Welshman prosecute the war. In other words, Lloyd George is -ex-- pected to emerge from the shower of ballots at the head of what will be, for all practical purposes and for the] duration of the war, a “Lloyd George party.” The premier is now supported by | a war coalition—parliament members of different political views who have united behind him for the war. | Many of the present members, Lib-} eral,” Unionists and Laborites, wilt stand for reelection, Where they promise support to the premier they will be unopposed, in many cases.’ Where they fail to take such a stanc Lloyd George candidates will take the field against_them. Party Divisions Nominal. So that practicady everywhere there will be a Lloyd George candt- date, whatever party banner he waves. The new parliament will, of course. be divided on lines of the present and others. But this division will be nominal. The only 2 war is*concerned, will be Lloyd eorge men and “opposition.” There will be close to 700° members of the new parliament, and it is gen- erally predicted that Lloyd George will have at least 500 active support- ers. Labor to Gain Seats. The election will probably be held between October and February. Be- fore that time Lloyd George is ex- pected to make statements of policy for the approval of the voters. These are sure to include a primary pledge to win the war. They are expected to contain strong reference to the unity of command in the west—one.of the successful high spots of the premier’s 1918 political battles. It is also predicted that Yloyd George will outline more definitely, the government's economic plans, and its league of nations idea: Labor is expected to gain seats, and it is widely predicted that the Sinn Feiners will make substantial gains. Whether Sinn Fein candidates will sweep all southern fre'and, defeating most of the Nationalist arty candi- dates. is a question in dispute. If they do, Ireland outside Ulster, will have small representation in par- liament, because the Sinn Feiners do not recognize the British parliament and refuse to sit in i Their policy is to get elected and y at home, Southern Ireland’s seats will be va- cant. therefore, to whatever extent the Sinn Feiners are successful. parties—Liberals, Unionists, Laborites SON OF BISMARCK WOMAN TELLS OF SUBMARINE HE IS SERVING ON BEING RAMMED—MISTAKEN FOR ENEMY BOAT WOMEN IN.

It was so dark that they were! only about a hundred yards away when we first caught sight of them.; During war time no lights are visible on any ship at sea. They turned righ:! for us and struck us on the port side of the bow, with enough violence to knock most of us out of our bunks.; , Well, we lost no time in going the opposite direction as soon as we learned that we had not ‘been dam- aged. Thank goodness! There was no moon or we might have gotten an! additional shot or two. Today in a Philadelphia paper the navy department gave out a state ment that an ocean liner had come in- to port with a hole in her side from trying to ram a U-boat. It was the one that struck us because it gave the date, time and place just perfect- ly. Their story, as told by their skip- per, runs like this: “We sighted a U- «oat, ramming her on the port side of ‘the bow. Just before we struck, the skipper of the U-boat in a loud German-accented voice, called out: “We are friends.’ I think the U-boat sunk ‘because we saw nothing of her after we struck her.” The liner is in an American port with a hole through her side and her About 10:30 p. m, an ocean| © where they think that U-boat they hit is.

DAKOTA British Officials Declare Allies’ Reserve Superiority Will Prevent Blow in West London, Eng., Aug. —The follow- ing summary of the y situation in the various theatres as the struggle enters the fifth year, comes from .an authoritative official ,source: Western Front.—The Germans, with 201 divisions in the west, have a num erical superiority. But so successful has been General Foch’s counter of- fensive and so astonishingly rapid has been the development of the American army, that despite the German “edge” in total numbers the allies have a greater number of fresh reserve divi- sions than the enemy. In short, the allied blows in’ the Marne and in Picardy so tore up the German reserves thaé the allies have ready, fresh organized reserves to pitch in wherever they're needed, in considrably greater numbers than the. enemy. The Germans were forced to use 71 divisions in the Marne battle, includ- ing reserves, so that now it is care fully estimated that the total num- ber of reserve divisions behind the enemy's line from the sea to Switzer- land is 51, of which only 27 are fresh. Some of these have already been sent into the ‘battle in Picardy. Cannot Draw on East. The kaiser, furthermore, cannot draw on the east for any more troops, and he may have to send troops from the west to the theaters. Therefore, with the present reserve status, his own total strength in the west, at the down-grade -‘poin, and. the. allied strength constantly on the up-grade, it is doubtful whether the enemy. will‘at- tempt another major offensive in go out again soon. I'll try to keep you gosted as much as possible. time this summer. I wish data happy birthday and many more of them. Per- haps before another one comes 1! will have had a chance to come home.

However, he is strong enough in the west to spare troops and be able to hold on successfully so that he may Jaunch a major campaign in Italy or in the Balkans before winter. In one of these theaters, rather than in the west, is therefore where the next heavy German blow is expected to come. In the west, in the meantime, thé al- lies expect: the Germans to fall ‘back to the Hindenburg line for the winter. The effect of the allied victory on’ the German people is so great now that a retirement to this line would not ada much to the moral effect of the re- treat, Italian Front.—The spirit of the .troons is higher than at possibly any other time during the war, due to the arrival. of,.Americans and, the Atalian success in the last major action in this theatre.

The rapid organization of this formidable addition to the al' lies’ troops has been accomplished de- spite the greatest difficulties and re- flects great credit’ on Venizelos and the Greek people. Here too the allies Propose to be ready if the Germans “start anything. An offensive on this front would, of course, mean the employment of large numbers of Bulgarian troops. Just now, the Bulgarians are showing & marked disinclination to do any oftens, ive fighting. The last German “start” in the Balkans quickly was abandoned, largely because of the disposition of the war-weary, disgruntled Bulgarians to avoid any scraps that were not forced upon them. This does not mean, however, that they are 'ikely to quit the Germans as long as they can see a chance for an ultimate German vic- tory. Murman Front.—It is expected that @ soon as the front makes operations possible, the Germans and Finns will open a campaign against the southern part of the Murman railway. The people in parts of this region are the frowing increasingly hostile! - ermans, but they are still, insofar as ‘their fighting strength of 60,000 men is concerned, completely dominat- ed by the-kaiser. * Siberia——The CzechoSlovak “mir- acle army” is continuing with ever- REV.
