By Boyden Sparkes
%'EW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 25.?
Mrs. Jane Gibson, Amazonian miser
of com and pigs, told to-night, how
the witnessed the murder of the Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Mills irt a fallow field on tho Phillips
firm six weeks ago.
Before they were killed, Mrs. Gibson
Mid to-night, the rector and his sweet?
heart were bitterly denounced by tho
?nan and the woman who confronted
them. Then there was a strugglo be?
tween the rector and the man who was
going to kill him; shots were fired;
ta? surviving woman cried a name, and
then the frightened mule Mrs. Gibson
rode galloped off, and on its back went
the woman who will figure as the chief
iritness for tho State of New Jersey
it the trial of the two persons she
?iv there that night.
"When I saw that woman face to faca
st the courthouse," said Mrs. Gibson
solemnly, "I felt so sorry for her that
I cried, but the dying shrieks of the
murdered woman seemed to sound in
By ears again and I felt that justice
must he done,"
At no time in telling her story did
Mrs. Gibson use the names of the man
snd woman she believes she saw en
gaged in argument and struggle with
Dr. Hull and Mrs. Mills. And yet she
left no doubt as to the identity of
the persons she is prepared to accuse
in open court.
Her sixty-acre farm is nearly two
ir,:les from the Phi'lin? farm. It fronts
on Hamilton Avenu?3, one of the prin?
cipal highways radiating from New
Brunswick. The next spoke in this
wheel of roads is F.as'.on Avenue, on
which the Phillips farm has a front?
age. The widow's fields are planted
in corn, most of which has been har?
vested to serve through the winter
u food for the forty-five young pork

Denounces Foreigners
"This used to be a good place before
"Und agent? got to selling lots, to for?
eigners," said Mr?:. Gibson to-night.
8he was adjusting an electric flash?
light with which ?he proposed to show
visitors her enormous barn and its
most intelligent occupant, her mu In
Jenny.
"These foreigners buy a little scrap
tf ground, build a shack and then make
a living stealing from their nighbors,"
Ihe went on. "Last yajcrt I lost a sow
end her ten pigs in one night.
"That's how I happened to go out
this night I speak of. One of the dogs
Sniffed somebody. I hud an idea who
It was but I wasn't sure. I went out to
the barn, put a bridle find saddle on
Jenny, and went scouting for them.
"I saw a man going down the road,
and I made up my mind I was going to
follow and give him some trouble. J'vo
been wanting to catch one of them on
my place at night and empty a shotgun
Into their skin. That seems to be the
only way to stop thieving.
"Jenny knew what I wanted to do.
?She's a pniart mule and she knows a
lot of tricks.

"You might not believe it, but when
that mule come to a brook or a log at
night she gives fl little whinny of

can jump highei than my head. She's
only shod on one hind foot and a per?
son would have had to liaten with
?harp ears to know Jenny and I were

"When I got to the Phillips farm I
seemed to have lost sight of the man
lu been following, but I believed I
knew v.here he was going. Jenny
was picking out her road, and then
"he turned her head and pointed her
ear?. I listened and heard voices. Wo
cut across the field. I laid myself flat
Bgainst the mule so that if any one
?eard us they'd just think it was a

Airmen to Snap Photos
Of Doom Bridal March
DOORN, Holland, Oct. 25 (By
The Associated Press).?It is re?
ported that a plan is on foot to
photograph from an airplane the
wedding procession of former Em?
peror William and Princess Her?
mine of Reuss as it proceeds from
the chauteau and through the
grounds to the gate of the lodge,
where the civil ceremony will be
performed.
Airmen consider that it will be
a dangerous exploit because of
tho dense woods. Nevertheless,
they are determined to make the
effort, and, if necessary, to land
on some small open space within
the grounds.
William has offered t? establish
a small nursing home in Doom,
as he did in Amerongen, but with?
out providing an endowment for
it. It is said the commune of
I Doom has declined his offer.

J. A. ('Fishhooks9) Mc?
Carthy, Boss's Friend,
Admits Owning 86th St.
Line, Cream of System
Dummies Used
To Hide Purchase
Other District Leaders
Believed Rewarded by
Money Making Permits
At least one of the bus Unes advo?
cated by Mayor Hylan In and out of
season and operated under permit?
granted hy Grover A. Whalen, his Com?
missioner of Plant and Structures, was
revealed yesterday, by Clarence ,T.
Shearn in the course of the Transit
Commission's investigation as an enter?
prise of John A. McCarthy, business ns
sociato of Charles F. Murphy, of Tam?
many Hall.
"Billy" Murphy, nephew of the Tam?
many chief, served with Thomas F.
Lynch as a collector for McCarthy, as
McCarthy, who is himself known
as "Fishhooks," acknowledged under
cross-examination by Mr. ?Shenrn.
McCarthy is the same "Fishhooks"
McCarthy who recently pleaded guiliy
j of cor. piracy i<i restraint of trade with
j other members of the builders' ring.
j The fini? of $7,500 imposed on his firm
i ??fter the conviction was the heaviest of
J any of the finef. that were substituted
! in the cases of the builders for Ho
i prison , sentences demanded by the
| prosecution.
Virtual Owner of 86th Street Line
I It was this same "Fishhooks" Mc?
Carthy, Mr. Shearn brought nut, who
| is the virtual owner of thfl orofltabJe
! Eighty-sixth Street bus line. He is not
I the ostensible owner of the line, but
: supplied the necessary cash to the
I dummies to whom Commissioner
! Whjkicn issued permits. He testified
I th-ix Lynch, one of his two collectors,
deposited the receipts from three of
the busses to the account of John A.
McCarthy in the Corn Exchange Bank
at Eighty-sixth Street.
Mi*. Shearn expects, in the light of
! yesterday's revelations, to be able to
? show a clear and far more extensive
connection between the newly estab?
lished bus lines of the city and Tam?
many Hall, the bus lines lining the
i pockets and enhancing the political
j prestige of .district leaders.
j It is believed that the expected dis?
closures may give added significance to
the testimony previously given in the in?
vestigation that Commissioner Whalen
and his subordinate, Frederick Richter,
have been discharging bus drivers who
do not stand in with Tammany, sun
planting them with deserving Demo?
crats.
Take in $40 a Day
The testimony yesterday showed
that McCarthy used his political pres
tige to obtain permits on the Eighty
sixth Street line, where, the opesratora
f.g*>*ee, is the "cream" of the business
The testimony was that the busses take
in about $35 or $40 a day on this line
with a fixed charge of $10 for the
chauffeurs plus wear and tear and cost
of gasoline and oil and insurance.
McCarthy loaned 1rs credit to throe
employees, George Allen, Frederick Mc?
Donald and Frank J. Higgins, who
bought the busses from the Interna?
tional Motor Company at about $6,209
apiece, paying $2,250 down and giving
I notes for the rest. The profits were
j deposited by the dummy owners and i
?went, toward the liquidation of the]
' notes.
In addition to the three bought osten?
sibly by Allen, McDonald and Higgins,
McCarthy also financed three other
busses of the same, type, also super?
vised bv "Billy" Murphv and Thomas
F. Lynch. ?
Bus Operators Hedge
One of the features of tho proceed?
ings yesterday was that the bus oper?
ators, who previously had privately tes
! tified under oath, when they went on
? the stand tried to,"shade," or weaken,
their own testimony. Some of them
! testified yesterday with apparent re?
luctance. Mr. Shearn asked them if
I anybody had talked to them about
?their testimony. Each denied that any
j one had.
i Mr. McCarthy is about fifty-five years
old, and has blond hair and blue eyes.
He said in answer to inquiries that he
was a dealer in mason building mate- I
rirls, with yards at Rivington Street |
and East River and at Exterior Street j
and 149th Street.
After sparring about being "in the |
bus business," Mr. McCarthy finally ad- j
mitted that he helped to finance them.
He said that Higgins. Allen and Mc?
Donald were his employees.
Reaching the point where he told I
about the ownership of th? busses, |
Judge Shearn asked:
Q.?Why did you have your employee :
Higgins give the twelve notes for tho
balance of the purchase? A..-?Because
he was the man who bought the bus.
Q.?You were the man who bought

$90,000 Stock Thief, Caught,
Names Jeweler as Instigator
The identity of the bank messenger
who took employment with the broker?
age house of Clark, Childs & Co., 165
Broadway, on June 10, and vanished
three days later with $90,000 worth of
Great Northern stock, was established
yesterday when Irving Miller, of 261
Hutton Street, Jersey City, admitted
that he was the "J. S. Gordon" who had
been sought by the police for tho last
four months. According to Detective
Sergeants Mayer and Brown he con?
fessed wiisr. they arrested him at his
home.
. Miller's wife, who had been kept in
ignorance of his alleged venture in
crime, sobbed when she heard his ad?
mission, and said she would never liv?*
with him agair.. The prisoner turned
to her piteously and said that he would
have taken his life long ago for shame
if he hud not felt that she and the baby
needed him. Both he and his wife are
of good family.
At Police Headquarters, according (o
the detectives, Miller placed the blame
for his action on a former jewelry
salesman whose name had already been
brought into, the case by Harry Sper?
ling, former Harlem manager for E. D.
Dier & Co., when he was arrested for
attempting to dispose of the only stock
certificate from the loot which has so
far turned up. Sperling, who lives at
826 Lenox Avenue, said that he had
bought the stock from this man in
good faith.
Miller told the police that the sales
sr.an hsd suggested the robbery to him,
had helped him to get the job with
Clark, Childs & Co. and had promised
to pay him $10,000 outright for a fluO,
000 haul. After the theft, Miller said,
the jewelry salesman talked him into
giving him the entire loot on credit.
Since that time his efforts to get in
touch witb his mentor in crime have
fei led, he said.

Fascisti Threaten to Seize
The Government of Italy
NAPLES, Oct. 25 (By The Associated Press).?"I take a solemn
oath that either the government of the country must be given peacefully
to the Fascisti or wo will take it by force," was the farewell statement
made by Professor Benito Mussolini, leader of the Fascisti, prior to
leaving Naples at the end of the party's congress held here.
The gathering of the Fascisti passed off without any grave incident.
The only notable event was the invasion of the Naples office of the
Rome newspaper "Mondo," which published an article favorable to
former Premier Nitti, against whom the hatred of the Fascisti is j
chiefly directed.
Mich?le Bianchl, secretary of the Fascisti, declared before the close
of the congress that the party now had five hundred thousand members,
all of whom were determined to bring about the regeneration of Italy.
"Tho present Chamber no longer represents the country," Bianchi
added, "and any Cabinet formed by it would be illegal, and it will be
the duty of the Fascisti to restore its legality by themselves seizing the
government."

Message Is in Reply to
Appeal for Him to Give
Stand as Stockholder
I John D. Rockefeller jr. lined himself
i up publicly yesterday at the side of
i the striking coal miners of Somerset
* County, Fa., whose employers have re
| fused to meet with union representa?
tives to effect a settlement such as has
; been made in other parts of the coun?
try. In reply to an appeal from the
Federal Council of Churches asking
? him, as a stockholder in the Consolida
j lion Coal "Company, to state his posi
) tion, ho telegraphed from Battle Creek,
! Mich., that in his opinion the present
I rabor policy of the operators in central
I Pennsylvania ?3 "both unwise and un
| just."
"I believe that the underlying griev?
ances of the minera in Somerset County
are well founded," Mr. Rockefeller
! said, "and I have urged, both directly
? and through competent representatives,
j with all the sincerity and vigor at mj
i command, that the present policy o?
! the operators be radically altered.
"It is my understanding that they
j have hitherto denied their employees
; all voice and share in determining their
| working conditions and any adequate
! machinery for the uncovering ana ad?
justment of grievances. The day has
passed when such a position can justly
j be maintained by any. employer 01
^prioup of employers in a country like
ours.
"I have long advocated, and nevei
more earnestly than now, a labor pol?
icy which concedes to the employees in
every industrial unit what I believe tc
be a fundamental right?the right tc
representation in the determining of
those matters which affect their own
interests,
"As a member of President Wilson's
first Industrial Conference I used these
words:
" 'Representation is a principle which
is fundamentally just and vital to ths
successful conduct of industry. This
is the principle upon which the demo?
cratic government of our country is
founded. On the battlefields of France
this nation poured out its blood freely
in order that democracy might be
maintained and that its beneficent in?
stitutions might become available in
other lands as well. Surely it in not
consistent for us as Americans to de?
mand democracy in government and
practice autocracy in industry.'
"This is n conviction I have long
held. It is a principle which in the
capacity of an individual stockholder
I havo vigorously urged as the most
promising measures for putting an end
to industrial misunderstanding and
conflict."
Despite the fact that Mr. Rockefel?
ler pointed out that he is only a mi?
nority stockholder with a feeling of
moral responsibility in the Consolida?
tion Company and is in no wise con?
nected with the Berwind-White con?
cern, which is the other important
operator in Somerset County, the opin?
ion prevailed at the office of the Fed?
eral Council of Churches 'yesterday
that Mr. Rockefeller's message por?
tends an immediate settlement of the
strike in Central Pennsylvania.
The Berwind-White miners who hav<
been in New York for ten days picket
ing the home of E. J, Berwind, 2 "East
Sixty-fourth Street, and the Berwind
White offices, 11 Broadway, were sem
back to their homes yesterday. Ap

representative of the miners, has de
terminad to devote his attentior
to the work of the Board of Estim?t,

Berwind-White mines, from which th.

Frota, The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.?Secretar]
of the Treasury Mellon to-day gav<
j foreign shipping interests a breathinj
! spell. He issued an announcement tha
it would require "considerable time'
for the preparation of regulations un
der the dry laws as interpreted by th
Attorney General and upheld by Judg
Learned Hand in New York, and tha
until .the new regulations were avail
able enforcement of the law would pro

Foreign ships, under this ruling, ca
continue for the. present to enter Amei

board as cargo under seal and procee
under such seal to their destination i
a foreign port; provision is made fo
sea stores.
Application was made to-day b
counsel for foreign shipping interest
headed by Franklin B. Lord, of Ne
York, for the Cunard Lines and othe
interests, to Associate Justice Brat
deis, of the Supreme Court, for a v?t
of supersedeas to stay the enforcemei
of the law as interpreted by Judi
Hand pending appeal to the Supreir
Court of the United States. Applies

the reason the court is in recess an
he is the Justice of the court assign?
to the second circuit, which include
New York. Justice Brand?is refus?
the writ for the reason that it is mac
unnecessary by the announcement i
? Secretary Motion.
Text of Mellon Statement
Secretary Mellon authorized the fc
lowing statement:
"Regulations are being prepared I
this department for putting into effe
the opinion of the Attorney Gener
of October 6, 1922, btit the subjects
be covered are various and of a comp!
cated nature, w;-'-.i are requiring co

"Until the new regulations ha
been worked out those at present
force will prevail, and I have to-dr
issued to the chief of the division
customs and the Commissioner of I
ternal Revenue an order to that effe<
"Therefore, until the new reguiatio
are available, enforcement of the 1.
will continue as heretofore. For i
stance, foreign ships entering Ame
can territorial waters with liquor
board as cargo, under seal, can for t
present proceed under such seal
their destination in a foreign port, a
sea stores in such foreign ships whi
are required to be sealed on arrival
the vessels with American ports ci
whan-such stores are required for t
use of officers and crew of the vess
be opened only from time to time i
withdrawal for such purpose, but mi
be immediately resealcd. This appl
to foreign vessels only, and, of cour
forbids the sale or service of liqu<
to passengers within American ter
torial waters.
Due Notice Will Be Given
"When the regulations governing <
forcement of the law are comple
and approved notice will be given
the date on which they will beco
effective, and a reasonable time will
given to foreign shipping to meet
new conditions. In the mean time th
is a possibility that the case which
being expedited, and which is expec
to come before the Supreme Court d
ing November, may be decided, ?ind
that event the contemplated reg?
tions in preparation may have to
modified to conform to the anticipa
decision of the court."
The Department of Justice did
oppose the writ of supersedeas o
reasonable policy. It was said at
department this afternoon that a
o'clock to-day Mabel Walker Wi

with Franklin B. Lord, Cleatus Keal

Broadly, the position of the cou
for the foreign shipping lines
that while Judge Hand's order
stay enforcement of the law so fa

Canadian Boat Outsails
Challenger in HeayySea ;
Crosses the Finish Seven
Minutes Before Its Rival
Schooners Near
Collision at Start
American Boat Faster on
First Two Reaches; Cup
Goes to To-day's Victor
By Frederick B. Edwards
GLOUCESTER, Mass., Oct. 25.?To?
day tho Bluenose found herself. In
a race which provided more close
turns and heart-gripping moments than
any yet sailed in this fishermen's cup
series the big black Lunenburgcr out?
sailed tho Gloucesterman, Henry Ford.
With a wind which early blew up a
choppy sea, and which, ranging from
ton to twenty knots, provided fifteen
"miles of stiff windward work, the cup
defender proved beyond doubt that she
is the slickest thing of her class that
ever sailed out of Nova Scotia's rock
guarded harbors. Her lead at the fin?
ish line was seven minutes and twenty
three seconds.
To-day's race was the best thing that
could happen. The result demonstrated
that the people who have been brag?
ging wildly around Gloucester street
corners that the Ford could sail circles
round the Bluenose in any weather
were just bragging?nothing more. It
buried deep beneath a sudden surge of
fighting spirit all the technicalities and
petty differences which had hampered
the sporting traditions of the series
until to-day it gave the Canadians
fresh heast and strengthened their
pride for the final great struggle which
must come to-morrow.
No Talk of Quitting
It is significant that the talk in Glou?
cester to-night is of who will win the
third race, not of whether there will bo
another one. Gloucester's interest has
shifted from controversy to contest.
The Bluenose winning to-day has saved
a complicated and difficult situation by
making the race and not arguments
about the race the main thing. When
Captain Ben Pine told us five w?eks
ago that a race series between the Ford
and the Bluenose would be a classic of
the ages, he spoke no more than the
letter of the truth. Setting to-day'3
race against Monday's rareor edge finish,
it becomes apparent that there is no
more to choose between the sailing
qualities of tho two vessels than the
distance between stitches in a main sail.
? The'race resolves itself now into a
question of seamanship and weather.
In light winds the Ford will outfoot
the bluenose, but not by very much.
Given a smart blow and the Bluenose
will lead the Ford, but by no wide
margin. At any time and under any
conditions the luck of the wind or the
slightest error in handling may mark
the difference between victory and de?
feat for either of these two beautiful
ships.
Praise Canadian Attitude
A word should be said for the sports?
manship shown by the Bluenose
owners and her skipper and crew. In
the chatter of controversy which deaf?
ened Gloucester during the first day
or so there arose an occasional ten?
dency on the part of the more rabid
partisans to impute unfair motives to
the Canadian sailors and their repre?
sentatives. Some unwise remarks have
been made and some of them have
found their way into print.
Tho record on this matter is clear.
Angus Walters has given ground on
every issue. The races have three
times been postponed at the start to
accommodate tho Ford and technicali?
ties which might have been claimed in
the Lunenburger's favor have been
waived. The responsible Gloucester
citizens are unanimous in their praise
of the Nova Scotian attitude through?
out and nobody is louder in praise of
the Bluenose and her crew than Clayte
Morrissey, the Ford's vlean skipper.
Few people in Gloucester knew how
near there came to being no race to?
day. Captain Morrissey's son still lies
at his home dangerously ill and the
skipper's family opposed his sailing to?
day. At 9 this molfning the Ford's cap?
tain, with H. J. Snider, the official ob?
server on the Ford, went across the
harbor to the Bluenose's berth and
talked matters over again with Angus.
Captains Maintain Amity
The crews were clamorous. Sailor
men are plain-spoken folk, and a lot
of things were said on both sides which
showed very plainly how hio-h the ten?
sion ran. Morrissey and Walters went
to the Blueno3e skipper's cabin with
Snider. Walters closed tho door on
| the debating meet.
? "Clayte," he said, "we are good
| friends and we're going to stay good
friends, in spite of what anybody does
l to make us bad friends."
"Angus," Morrissey said, "if we
: don't sail to-day what will you do?"

Mme. Matzenauer Says Rival
Got Cash She Gave Husband
_ !
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.?The dif?
ferences between Mme. Margaret Matz
enauer, opera singer, and her chauffeur
husband, Floyd Glotzbach, which led
them to seek a. divorce, arose over
Glotzbach's alleged relations with Lot?
tie Fraties, a resident of Carmel, Calif.,
according to a deposition made by the
singer to-day in-connection with Glotz?
bach's action here.
Mme. Matzenauer produced a letter
purporting to have been written to
Glotzbach by Lottie Fraties on January
19 of this year, which said, in part:
"I have put up with you for nine
years. I am suffering. I will not
stand any more fooling from you. I
will write to your wife. Mind, she
will have your life's history if I live."
Mme. Matzenauer asserted that she
encouraged her husband to associ?t?
with men of culture and ability, and
aid not try to' keep him in the back?
ground.
After their first separation last fall,
when Glotzbach returned to his for?
mer occupation as chauffeur at Mon?
terey and she went back to New York,
aha discovered, she said, that soma o?
the 1J5150 checks she ^ave him monthly
came back from the bank indorsed by !
Glotzbach to Lottie Frathies and cashed
by her.
In January of this year, when they?!
met again, her deoosition continued, !
she taxed him with being interested !
in another woman and finally threat- !
ened to open the next letter he re?
ceived. On carrying out her threat,
the singer said, her eyes fell on a
letter addressed to Glotzbach and,
signed by Lottie Frathies, which re-1
I ferred to the writer's physical con?
dition.
After she read it, the singer said,
a separation took place.
During the period of their married
life the singer gave Glotzbach all of his I
expenses, bought his clothes and gave j
him $150 a month additional for spend- ,
ing money, she stated. She denied his i
contention that she tried to make a
"ladies' maid" ont of him, but said that
such charges arose from Glotzbach's
demand that they so on their honey?
moon alone.
"As a result ? gave the maid a vaca?
tion," the singer said. "Perhaps I did
ask him to- hook my dr?s? occasionally,
but I never tried to humili?t? him."

Lloyd George Believes
U, S. Will Join League
LONDON, Oct. 25 (By The

dress before the Coalition mem?
bers of Parliament here to-day
Mr. Lloyd George declared that
he was in favor of making every
j reasonable concession to the
United States in.order to induce
| that country to join the League

"Until you can get all the na?
tions of Europe to join?and I
still think you can get the United

crippled," he declared.
"Working with the United
States ought to bo one of the
chief purposes of any govern?
ment. There is more in common
between us than with any other
! land. Our ideals approximate
in a way that no other countries'
do. If these two countries should
work together it would be a sure
guaranty of a just peace, which
is the only lasting peace."

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 25?Governoi
Ben Olcott, in a statement to-day, saic
the state was ready to "go to the bat'
with the I. W. W. in case there was ar
invasion and that there was "no room'
in the state for them. He indicated h<
had instructed the adjutant genera
in command of the National Guard t<
see that the Guard is ready for servie?
in case of necessity.
B. A. Green, representing the I. W

the organization itself if the city wouk
suspend its drive and allow the mem

they do it in an orderly, lawful manner
A letter from the I. W. W. striki
committee chairman, sent to all loca

"I want you, therefore, please t<
make sure that no more fellow work

also to stop any from further point
who are coming through from coniini
here.
'"After the arrests of Thursday th

more than enough volunteers to replac
the arrested pickets and it looks to m
more like sending some away than lik
needing more."
Green declared that suits would b
brought against the city on behalf o
Portland residents who had bee:
thrown into jail during the drive. Jur

LONDON, Oct. 25.?in a speech
i before the Coalition members of
| Parliament to-day Lloyd Georgs
I threw down the gauntlet to the Con
? servatives with the declaration that
j national unity was more important
than party organization. "If tho
die-hards put up candidates who
i either directly or indirectly attack
[ the Coalition Liberals," he said,
j "then there will be no alternative
but to spread the war."
The former Premier was once
more in fighting trim. His speech
aroused the utmost enthusiasm, par*?
ticularly when he said that even if
the Conservatives won a working
majority in Parliament?a contin?
gency which he doubted?it would
not mean the end of the fight be?
tween the conflicting ideas of tha
organization of the British govern?
ment.
Layg Aside Former Caution
Lloyd George was at his best. Ha
brandished the sword with all his
old-time vigor and confidence, drop?
ping the cautious attitude he had
assumed in his Leeds speech last
Saturday. "If we fall," he said,
"we will fall fighting, and fighting
where we can hit the hardest. If
; that means a fight for national unity
i all around, we will stand for it all
around."
Referring to the foreign policy, h*
said he believed in co-operation with
the Allies, but not "in being tied be?
hind the chariot of any country." He
would not impose a burden upon Ger?
many beyond her capacity to bear, he
declared, and if he again were p!a< A
power he would favor a renewal of th?8
pact with Russia. The League of Xa? l
tions, he said, must necessanly bo <rit*
pled until all the nations, inch, a: g th* .
United States, became members.
His attack on the Bonar l^aw Cab?
inet brought cheers. He s#ld it must
be regarded as a mediocre one end re?
ferred particularly to those re embers
of it who would support the Prent?as*
from the front benches of the- House of
Commons. He matched Lord B J
against Lord Salisbury, throwing cha
latter into the shadows by '.ho ? m
porison. Of Reginald M?Kenna b?s
said: "He is the man who was nan
responsible for the Liberal division??
1916. He would not compromi-^ an4
would not adjust differences, lie pro?
fessed exaggerated anxiety tc h|?
chief. He now says that his love is
not for Asquith but for Law.''
Turns Attack on Asquith
Continuing in* this' vein be p
ridicule upon McKenna's attack on hi*
financial policy. Next he turned Ms
guns against Asquith and his followers
who he declared were nut a ?iSp. !
more independent than .<fcKer.jp.',
"They remind me of a flock :;! angry
hens protecting their chic ?:** s," \X?
said.
Replying to the statement, made hy
Lord Crewe, that the fall ot
tion government had been g' .. ..
satisfaction outside of Great Brit?.?.,
Lloyd George said: "lit tue Unito?*J
States it is just the opposit*.. In that
great country, whose friendship is nios*
important, I have not seen atsy eviden*?
of satisfaction. I haven't ?een it St.
Italy. I have seen it only ia Franc?!

the prospect of what they considere^

that the Bolsheviki and the Tttr?f AliSw
