VOL. LXIV—NO. 256 PARLIAMENT A Andrew Bonar Law Intends to Advise King George to Take Such Action — The Most ' Authoritative Information ‘Names November 18 as Election Day—All Political Par- ties Have Given Assurances That There Wil be No Hin- drance to the Carrying of the Irish Treaty Into Effect —The Treaty Must: Be Ratified Before December 8— In a Speech at Leeds Today Lloyd George is to Reveal What His Tactics Are to Be. Longan, Oct. 30 (E§jthe A P.)—In the il highly speculafive political situa- tiom tonight. only two facts stood out as defiptte—that there will be almost imme- dately & genera] election and that par- Ithmentary ratification of ‘the Irish con- stitation is safely assured Andrew Bonar Law. who is to lead the nAw government which will take the place of that 6f David Lioyd George, In a'mes- mge to an evening newspaper confirmed s intention to adviee King George to immedfately dissolve, parliament, and add- ed that this fact would give ample time to deal with the Irish legisiation. He did not indicate, however. whether the pres- ent parliament would reassemble accord- ing to schedule on Nov. 14 to deal with the ‘Irish question, or. whether gemeral elections would be held immediately and theé Irish legislation leit to the new par- liaghént. Either plan will be practicable. the" only point being that ratification of the Irish treaty must be effected before Dec. 6. Whichever ‘course. is adopted, irish" Jegislation is quite safe from any attémpt to. frustrate an Irish settlement. Mr. Lloyd George, in a message sent to Wiltiam Cosgrave, president of the Dail- Bireann, has removed any fear of opposition from him in his new position as leader of the onnosition in paeliament. | The Maraqdis of S sbury.- on behalf: of the “die-hards” has made .a similar promise. so there is no party in the house of ‘gommons that is likely to offer any hindrancs to the carrying of the Irish treaty into effect. The retiring nremier left today for Taeds with his sword in his hand as he asserted in a short address at the St. Pancras etation prior to . his departure. Although he delivered five addresses from the rear of his car on the way to.Leeds, he has left until tomorrow’s speech in Laeds any revelation of what. his tactics will be.

P.)— One of the privileges of 2 British prime minister is to isue an honors list when his government retires. Premier Lloyd George’s awards, which nominally w 18. 1 be. conferred Ly the king probably wil]‘ be made known next week, and all Bng- land is interested to see how he will treat his former followers who seceded. Three members of the cabinet have ofticial residences provided by the gov- ernment. The premier lives in a gloomy old house at - No. 10 Downing street, where cabinet meetings are held, and where the premier’s secretariat, a relic of ‘the, war, whichlat¢ly has been criticized because of the cost entailed, occupies erccted in the garden during the war. The chancellor of the exchequer has a house next door, while the first lord of the admiralty occupics a fine old habitation which forms wing of the: admiralty buildings. The families-of Mr. Lloyd George, Aus- ten Chamberlain. and Baron Lee al- ready have begun packing to make way for new occupants.

Thére have been rumérs that hie kaa some new plan for unemployment. -ingurance, with a view to detaching the laber vote from the Jabor party and bringing it into the fold of his proposed new center party. The rebel conservatives, who are head- ed by Mr. Bonar Taw, Sir George Youn er and Stanjer Baldwin, who brought about the fall ot Mr. Lloyd George. have contended that they were trying to get back to the party system. Only the re- sult of gemeral clections will show how far they have succeeded in this intention. Up to the present the only consequence of tahir tactics: has been the adding of still another groun to the .existing party zroupe, thereby bringing the British par- jiament still nearer to the group systems of the Evrovean parliaments. Lleyd George Splits Unionist Party. Mr. Llo¥d George. who during the war =plit the liberal party into two sections has now dome the same thing by the un- onist party. Thus, instead of the two original parties, there now are four. with | the labor narty making the fifth. = There w0 longer will be an Irish party, which for #o many years during the great home wule agitation was able to dominate the | Westminster parliament by throwing -its| 70 members to whichever mde it chose. | With five separate parties, it is ciear that no single party can form a big- enough bloe te carry on a government not aided by further alllances. Tt has to be re- membered that the whole of the electoral maehinery and the funds of the coriserva- tive.party belong to the rebellious Young- or section of that group. ; Mr. Lloyd George is credited with in- tentions 1o create a center party. This| would necessitate the creation also of new party machinery and party funds, for the former nremier has o such funds or ma- chinery at present at his disposal. No general election for many- years has presented such unpredictable prob- lems for solution. One of the weekly political reviews declares that it will turn upon the simple auestion of for or against Lloyd George. and therefore will-be a purely personal contest. There is ‘no great aquestion now before the country for the electorate to decide, and from the slight indication already afforded the ex- premiier, who is in a great -fighting mood, seems to turn the whole contest on the personal equation, Political circles consider that it will be interesting to watch and see how far the gonservative electorate #ill follow the Ponar Law ministry in throwing off alle- giance to Lloyd George, and whether his powerful lieutenants, Lord Balfour, Lord Pirkenhead, Austen Chamberlain, Sir Robert Horne and others, who followed thelr chict into the wilderness, will be sble to maintain the somewhat anomalous as conservative adherents.of a nominally liberal chief or whether they gradually will drift back into the regular unionist foid. Press Ticking Cabinet, The press was very busy today in form- ing & new cabinet for Bonar Law. The speculations of the various newspapers showed there was no lack of able men tor a new administration. There waas general agreement that Stanley Baldwin would be the new chancellor of the ex- thequer, and Lord Carzon the foreign wecretary ; but in other respects there was agreement only on the names of. leading men—Charies Amory, the Earl of Derby, the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Selbourne, Sir Afthur. Grifith-Boscawen, Sir:George Younger, and others—but not ‘on the posts Lhey would 1L The most interesting suggestion which nis been advanced with ia cénsiderable of authority {s that Lonrd-Carson, the férmer Ulster !2ader, will be the new lord chameellor. - This would prove a very in- | Lees' both .own town houses in London.

LLOYD GEORGE WARMLY WELCOMED AT LEEDS Leeds, England, Oct. P.)—A great crowd welcomed Davi Llo¥d George and his party on its ar- rival here by special frain tonight. Mr. Lloyd George delivered five speeches at various railway stations on the way here from London and everywhere was greet- ed warmly. Al Wellington the retiring premier compared himself to Lord Channing, who once represented that constituency. Channing, he said, had fought many similar battles for liberty and fair play. “L invite your support in a battle for national interests,” Mr. Lloyd George told an audience at Kettering. At Lejcester, he said “You proba- bly have heard that they don't like me at the Cariton club. That fact seems to have added to the number of my friends, not only at Leicester, but along the route. I have never witnessed such remarkable demonstrations. ““We won the war together and peace was being helped by all sections. We were - pulling* through together. and mnow jthe new Carlton club orders—party first. No wonder some of the ablest and most experienced leaders of the conservative party protested against that order and | decline to. carry it out. ” The liberal association at Notting- ham' presented Mr. Lloyd George with an address,to which the little Welchman replied that he was standing for nation- al unity. At Suffield he told the crowd that gatWered about his . car that the Carlton club had deliberately wrecked the organization which, had won the war. BELGIAN PRESS HAS N EEGRET FORE LLOYD GEOEGE Brussels, Oct. 20.—The Belgian press learns” of “Premier Lloyd George's res- ignation without regref, regarding his attitude as bhaving “seriously menaced Anglo-French good relations,” which Belgium considers essential to peace. The newspapers hope that Mr. Lloyd George's successor will show a better understand- ing of ‘Frenc: and Belgian needs, and are confident’ ‘hat his departure from the cabinet wil. facilitate a solution of inter-allied debt probilms. DECISION AGAINST DIRECTORS REMINGTON TYPEWRITEE CO. New York, Oct. 20.—The appeliate division of the supreme court today or- dered a new election of directors of the Remington Typewriter company to be beld on thirty days’ notice. A previous order by Justice Wasservogel denying a new election upon the application of James 8. Carmey, a stockholder, was re- versed. : “The court sustained Carney's con- tention that the election of April 19 and 20" was void and held that the choice of James M. Gifford as inspector of elec- tions. before "the directors wgre chosen was improperly. made, the chair having permitted a per capita .vote' when a stock ' vote should have been taken. OBITUARY. Rev.

The moment has come, according to M. Barthou, when the allies must take en- ergetic steps or else be faced by a Ger- many- prociaimed before the world as a ruined nation, despite the fact that her actual capital is intact. “We don't accept the Contention that Saratoga Springs, N.

A minimum of receipts would be fix- ed and a maximum of expenditures for Germany would be set, and Germany would. be required to float international loans at an opportune moment. Neither the government nor the states would float loans without allied authority. M. Barthow's memorandum concludes with seven proposals, as follows: First—To immediately place German public finances under control of Ger- many’s credits as previously outlined. Second—To take all measures neces- sary to balance the budget and keep it balanced, meanwhile progressively in- cluding in its reparations payments not otherwise provided for and the interest on loans floated for reparations pay- ments..

J,, Oct. 20.—On the hesls of unconfirmed report that the grand jury of.Somerset county today had returned an indictment in the Hall-Mills murder mystecy, the investigation was given a sensational twist tonight when it was officially. learned that an eye-witness to the double shootinz, a woman of repu- tabie charactér in New Bruns k, had been discovered. » The interjection of this new phase in the. already greatly complicated case was said to have been responsible for the sud- den ‘turn today in the activily of Prose- cutor Azariah Beekman, who appeared before the grand jury at Somerville.
