The Tremier's speech at Manchestet Saturday leaves . political circles com pletely at a loss to prognosticate the next political movement. It is general ly supposed that there will be an early dlssolutitn. although this supposition does not arise from anything the. pre mier said at Manchester, but from a general rr;ew-of all the factors in the existing situation, and, above all, to the conviction that the speeches of the prin.e minister and the colonial secretary, from which so much was expecrid. ,iave in point of fact left -things Just as they were before and . have done nothing whatever- to' arrest the progress of tv.e revolt In the conservative rank and fi'e against the continuance of Lloyd George's leadership.

Therefore, all railway, transport- will be strictly reserved for the Greek army during the next fortnight The Mud&nia pact requires the mov- ing.out of the whole army in fifteen days, .which means that the 60,000 sol diers must be evacuated at the rate of 4,000 daily, with all their equipment and materials: As each freight car will be required nearly four days for the round trip from eastern Thrace to the new base, the raUwaymen expect that a daily average of about. 100 cars can be. counted on. The movement of refugees along the roads is bound to . hamper tbe army considerably.

The Times tn an analysis of the speeches of Premier Lloyd George and Mr. Chamberlain, aays they should be read in conjunction, and points out that while Mr. Chamberlain appealed mainly - to the Unionists and solemnly warned them that any revolt against the - prime minister would be a heavy responsibility likely to result in the eventual accession of a . labor minis try. Mr. Lloyd George appealed more to the liberate, but. held .out a hand to the men of all parties who were nether re actionaries nor. revolutionaries.- By ' implication the' premieri told the conservatives that if they wished to re main . in alliance with' him they must subdue the' revolt in their' own party.; The Times interjects- "This necessity has engaged the unionist leadeds for a lone time, and yet the movement for party independence," instead 'of abating, has grown to almost - ' irresistible strength."

The writer -proceeds to Indicate that while' Mr. Chamberlain' made much of the socialist-la bo rite menace, Mr. Lloyd George, on the contrary, sees ' the - possi bility of new personal allies even tn the labor party.

ARMISTICE SATED BEE LIN ' FROM AERIAL ATT A fa Cleveland.' Oct. 16. The story of hem the signing of the armistice saved Berlm from an aerial attack was related here today, with the permission of the gov ernment, for the first time by Lester -P. Barlow and Glenn L. Martin, inventor of a device for a long range attack. OeTy a few persons are amid to have known the secret, so closely was it guarded. The basis idea was the combing erf the flying torpedo, built ' principally olong the lines of the dual-motored letwr.b Ing plane, with a small plane -of the scout type but carrying a large fuel tank. Mr. Barlow said. In flying to the objective, the two planes were to hate - ber-n a single unit, the smaller plane" engine drawing Its fuel from the torpe do plane's tank, leaving Its own ' fuel supply intact for the return flight. ; The range was limited only lo the distance the smaller plane could travel in bringing the pilot back to the Amer ican base. Mr. Martin explained. '; If the war had continued, Cleveland wruld have contributed two Inventions which would have ended It speedily." declared ' Benedict Crowell, former as sistant secretatT of trar. "One would have been this flying torpedo and the other the deadly gas which was develop ed In the 'mouse-trap.' Xlur scheme to blow to atoms the German capital 700 miles from the bat tie lines was so simple that General C O. Squire, American ranking general of the air forces, was skeptical,'' Mr. Bar low said. "When he was convinced f its practicability his greatest fear wag that the Germans might hit- upon tbe same idea and put tt Into effect before we could get the necessary equipment across the Atlantic Under tbe plan as adopted a fleet of flying torpedoes, each of toe horse-power, would be piloted under cover of dark ness from the American lmea to within a few miles of Berlin. The pilots would return while the flying torpedoes con tinued under mechanical control to tat center of the city. There the wtrerl automatically would be. blown from 0e torpedoes, causing the whole mass -re fall. .On striking, the torpedoes, each 4 which would contain a ton arid a' half "Bf T. ,N. T., or the equivalent of poisonous gases, would explode. ' ''In order to assure a thoroughly, eu" cesful' attack our bore 'was to launelt a fleet of at least fifty ot these dual units against Benn. Their flight , was to be so arranged that they could ap proach the city from all direct kms-sim-ultaneously." Two months before the armistice' was signed, the inventors aay, the government ordered them to proceed immediately with the production of a flying torpedo -fleet. A "thousand airplane torpedoes Mr. Martm estimated, could "be eo strocted and used for the coat of one modern battleship. He estimated' the eost ot one such torpedo at 1 50,00.' The idea came to the Inventors in Oe tober. 1915. when Mr. Barlow was em ployed In the Martin airplane factory m Los Angelea Calif., shortly after hie rey turn from Mexico, where, as a major on the staff of General Franckoo Villa, he- conducted what he believes was the first airplane bombing squadron ta la world. Report of the British air eer-rioe that it had released from its large ooutirg planes over the North Sea small passeng er planes that returned to the base sug gested the solution ol their 'problem, Martin said. . - . ; There is little new to the invention' Mr.- Barlow explained. "Rather H a fusing together ox what- w known." . - ffTEEBT tjaTICE FOB " ""' RECKLESS AUTO DRITER : Newark, ' N. J.. Oct. 15. Sixty- five minute after his automobile crashed in to, another .car. In .
