He left the Lloyd George govern- ment toward the end of the war because he would not sanction dis- establishment of the Welsh church, even though its bishops were in agreement with the government's plans. In 1918 Lord Robert was urged to become British ambassador at Washington, but he was reluctant to abandon his domestic political career. War Services Eminent. Cecil's war services were of emi- nent character. As undersecretary for foreign affairs and minister of blockade, he was in direct contact with the United States during the delicate months of our neutrality. Walter Hines Page, ambassador at London, pald high tribute to the skill and tact with which Cecil con- ducted negotiations often fraught with imminent danger to British- American peace. Public men at Washington hope to have a chance of hearing Lord Rob- { ert. At present his only known en- gagement for speaking is a private | one—luncheon with overseas writers | during the third week of April. Many of the members of that organiza- tion enjoyed Cecll's personal acquain- tance during London and Paris war and peace days. (Copyright. 1923.) CAPT.

Newkirk of the sixth precinct died at Emergency Hospital yesterday afternoon after an illness of two months. His death, it is stated, was due to an attack of heart trouble. The deceased, a native of Canada, where he was born July 4,-1862, was a cabinet maker at the time of his appointment to a position on the police force September 1, 1890, Much of his police duty was per- tormed along lower Pennsylvania avenue, a section called Chinatown antl Bowery many years ago. It was largely due to his efforts, it is stated, that troublesome panhandlers were driven from that section. Newkirk resided at 519 3d street northeast. He is survived by two daughters, his wife having died several years ago. 3 RUM ARRESTS MADE.

COST OF LIVNG SEEN A3 IS David Lawrence Declares Politicians of Both Parties Incline to This View. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., March 26.— Assuming that President Harding is renominated in accordance with At- torney General Daugherty’s predic- tion, what will be the issues? This question has been propounded in the presidential party again and again since the political discussion of a week ago began. Mr. Daugherty says taxation will be paramount. Former Gov. James M. Cox, dentocrat, says it will be the European economic situation and the Harding administration’s failure to heip American farmers and producers by supplying an export market. Wil- liam Jennings Bryan thinks it will be special privilege, the policies ex- emplified by ship subsidy, and he adds a bellef that Senator La Follette's charges concerning the ofl situation will play a prominent part campaign President the Harding himselt opinion that the is “of campalgn will turn entirely on economic issues. He | believes the electorate will be swayed in 1924, as it has been in the past, on the question of whether there Is universal employment and a living wage. Rarely has it happened that an administration or a party in power has not succeeded itself when the country was enjoying a_reasonable measure of prosperity—this is Mr. Harding's theory. President's View. It will be promptly suggested that the defeat of the democrats in 1920 after an unexampled period of pros perity, would seem to be an exceptio to the political rule, but Mr. Harding does not think so. He has often dis- sed the 1920 contest with his nds and he has sald that if nothing else had crept into the cam- paign apart from the prosperity fssue the Tesult might have been different. He thinks the accumulated grievances growing out of the war and the issues of reconstruction were big enough to submerge the question of prosperity in 1920." “We want a change” of per- sonnel was the outery then. What the President means, there- fore, Is that ordinarily, when there are no extraneous issues, the dominant thought of the country is more likely to be economic than anything else. In other words, he looks for an old- fashioned kind of campalgn, the sort that is reminiscent of the “sound money” slogan of 1596, or the cry of the “full dinner pail”® of 1300 and 1904, and the warning against “rainy days,” which the electorate was urged to take to heart in 1908. Probable Point at Tasue. Mr. Harding is all the more im- pressed by this line of reasoning be- cause of the unlversal enthusiam with which the people generally seemed to greet the promised pro- gram of a return to ‘“normalcy.” which, at the outset, he gave as the objective of his administration. This would make the 1923 issue something like this: “Has the country returned to normalcy, and if not has it pro- gressed sufficiently along the road to warrant a change or a continuance of the same leader?” The democrats would take up the challenge naturally by pointing to the higher level of wages in the years of the Wilson administration as compared to the incomes of the workers in the last three years. To offset this, the Harding administra. tion would attempt to prove that there has been a drop in the cost of living. High Cost of Living Issue.

Glider Rises 12 Feet; Travels 300 Feet in Test Experiments with motorless air- craft have been started by the Army air service at McCook Fleld, Ohfo, with the first offictal glider to be constructed by the govern- ment. Reports of tests already made, announced today by the War De- partment, said results so far ob- tained gave promise of rapid strides in the art. With a wind from five to fifteen miles an hour the GL-2 glider rose in the air after a run-off of fifteen feet and flow at an altitude of twelve feet for a distance of 300 feet. Aviators are gaining experience which will be invaluable to them as airplane pilots, the announce- ment gaid, adding that the gliding training will make their work as pilots comparatively easy. —_— Dakota have already begun on eco- nomic questions, the one charging that the price of gasoline will rise through illegal combination of the producers and the other contending that the price of sugar Is soaring un- necessarily. Secretary Hoover is alive to the dangers of excessive ofl and sugar prices, and Attorney General Daugherty is keeping a watchful eye on the probable prices of coal under the arrangements to be in effect next year between miners and operators. It looks truly as if the high cost of | living, which played such a prominent part in sweeping the democrats into power In the House of Representa- istration. and which helped consider- ably In putting the democratic party in power in the White House as weil as both branches of Congress in 1912, will be in the foreground once more in 1924. The republican orators will exhort the people “to sit steady in the boat and don't rock It” while the democrats will endeavor to tempt the electorate by detailed reminimcence of “the good old days of 1918 and 1919 under democratic rule.”” (Copyright, 1923.) just such a basis.

COUPLE UNCONSCIOUS FROM GAS POISONING Woman and Her Brother Rescued From Death Peril by Col- ored Maid. Mrs. Joseph White and her brother, Harry Thompson, were found uncon- sclous from gas poisoning in the former's room at 215 B street today. The couple, who probably owe the lives to the quick work of Lottie Jackson, a colored maid, were rushed to Casualty Hospital, where it was sald later both had a falr chance of recovery. Mrs. White lived at the house with ! her husbaml, Joseph White, who left early today in quest of work, and had not been notified of his wife's prodicament. The woman is a crip- ple and has not left her room for more than two years, according to Mrs. M. J. Smith of 621 4th street, landlady of the house. Mrs. Smith said that Thompson came to the house yesterday after- noon, but whether he remained all night with the Whites could not be ascertained. When the mald passed the door of the Whites today, about 10 o'clock, she detected the odor of gas and en- tered the room, where she found Mrs. | White and Thompson lying on the | floor unconscious. She raised the | windows and quickly summoned Wil- | llam Herron, another boarder, who | notified the police and the two were | rushed to a hospital. It is the opinion of Mrs. Smith that the White woman tried to reach the | gas jet, but stumbled after pulling the attached chain, and was unable, | owing to her crippled condition to | rise from the floor. tions, with lilies and other flowers, and additional music for concerts wili | bo among the foremost additions to the usual service. | A survey of hotels shows that the exodus from southern winter resorts | is well under way and Washington ! is getting a larger quota than usual of the “stop-over” crowds that make | a practice of touring ity during | this time, when Washington is dressed In its most beautiful attire| of the year.
