T .1.. rrt.-.-.na nffift In tervirw at me ijoiiuoh mih-o Printing House Square Northcliffe, who is the nt the present political with Lord storm center crisis. The fall of the Asquith govoVnmcnt follows on the continued hammering of the Northcliffe press, and Iord North cliffe is blamed or praised, according to the point of view. "The whole country has risen to the leadership of Lloyd-George," said T.nni Northcliffe. "The English spirit rosnnnds t his will and determina tion. "He has summoned to his council the best business brains of the coun tryan element that has been entire ly neglected by the politicians of tho late government. "The English are not an emotional people, hut the crowds, which gath ered in such numbers and with such enthusiasm nt the war office today, showed that the English people want ed a man, and they have got a man. "I think that Americans will wel come the Lloyd-Oeorge ministry. There are likely to be two men In the now cabinet peculiarly' acceptable to the United States, one of them in the foreign office, which has to deal with nil the questions arising vclveen the two nations." Confident of Success. Lord Northcliffe was confident of the present crisis working In such a way as thoroughly to ncrgize the conduct of the war. When asked whether he would enter the govern ment or tako any active personal part in nolitics. Lord Nortlioiirte mm. "To a newspaper like the New York Times, which puts into practice very large scale and with marked suc cess the doctrine of promoting its own welfare by working along thoroughly Impersonal and independent lines for the welfare of country and humanity, tho course of the newspapers under my management needs no explanation. Throughout all these critical times, ho called, tho Northcliffe press has sought nothing for Its controlling head, and for a reason that may be re ferred to selfish motives, if only those who examine the motives do so with i an Informed mind. 'Newspapers can succeed only when they are newspapers and nothing else, that is to say, when they print the news fully and fairly on one hand and en tho other comment on il, having only Hi public interest id hearL No IHirse would be equal to the strain of fiwnlnir and rnnnine a newspaper as . ...... r. n personal or political organ to pro- : mote the fortunes of its owner.

Arraigns Newspaper Critics. "For proof of the fatuity of jour nalistic endeavor in the form of a Party organ a glimpse at the London field is quite sufficient. In nearly ev ery case the ubuse of the Northcliffe Press comes from some pitiful failure uf a newspaper that is a personal or po litical affair and extra-journalistic in Its aims. Such journalism is a fragile mushroom and is bound to perish. To the discriminating eye the criticism Indulged in by such newspapers, is an unwarranted tribute to power that flops not exist or at least not in the form that they apprehend. The Kortlicliffe press gets no power from &nl gives none to Ur director except In no far as he directs 'it for the ood of the nation nd in accordance with i the demand,, nf nnhlie nidnion.

Coincldentnlly with the publication of the news the Daily Mail brought home the responsibility to the war office In a series of editorials that may be described us brutally frank. "Now nine out of ten of the un thinking blamed the director of the Northcliffe press at that time. A wave of Indignation swept over the country. Charges were sprung by the privately owned and politically controlled or gans. It was charged, perhaps with a color of truth, that the Northclllfc press had been Inrgely responsible for the appointment of Lord Kitchener originally. It never occurred to these unjournalistic minds that the respon sibility imposed continuing responsi bility for the proper conduct of the war office." Ono of the interesting matters still to bo decided is the attitude of the Irish party. Mr. Hedinond has now perhaps the greatest opportunity he ever had to obtain a settlement of the homo rule question, since the position of the new cabinet in commons will he none too secure, and the national ists will have a chance to win. Speaking generally, the situation is regard by the British public: with greater hopefulness and it Is believed that the crisis will be surrendered without the need of a general election, which the country would regard as a disaster in tho midst of war. Discussing Cabinet Assignments. It is assumed that Lloyd-George was probably able to submit to the king a preliminary list of the princi pal members of the cabinet. Doubt less much remains to be done in the ! way of the allocation of the new posts, but the premier still has plenty of time before he hits to meet parliament on Tuesday to complete the details. Possibly many parliamentary and j ministerial traditions will bo jettl Isoned in the final result, but Lloyd- Georgfe has a reputation for boldness, and Is not a great sticker for tradi tion. Therefore, some su prises may appear in the distribution of the new I offices. What Is apparent, however, cs that the new ministry will not he as already first assumed, a glorified war council of a few members, but a min istry on the old lines, although mu,h smaller than the Asquith administra tion. How Lloyd-George intends to get over the difficulty of his own making, when he asserted that the premier was too much occupied with other I matters to be able to preside over tho j -r council. Is still one of the nrob-I lemu unsolved. ' Inti rose in Cnbhiot. The greatest Interest as to cabinet positions centers In the personality of the new foreign secretary. Two names have been mentioned those of Lloyd -Georgo himself and Lord Curzon. It is generally assumed that, the latter j will bo the favorite for the post, as he has had experience abroad, and commands public confidence here to !an exceptional degree I'ntil late last evening, those in Lloyd-George's confidence, believed that, following the precedent of the Salisbury administration, Lloyd- George would himself take the pos of foreign secretary. Lord Northc liffe 'T strongly urged Lloyd-George to j take the foreign secretaryship. I I consider that he is eminently fitted .,,e, ......... particularly In view of his knowledge of America and his sympathy for the ..............il.il;, l.. rwtv.,..w, ,t1.,l t American people and institutions. e ' jare through with those who knew lit- , j,IC III MMLO H.II. IVflllf... . ' " j general, and Lloyd-Goorgo Is the ono jman available, having in an eminent degree the qualities needed in nan- dling the foreign hopeful that he wi sit nation. am I see his way to ac- oepting .fhis view." ' The announcement, however, in the , -. . c.ourt circular that Lloyd-George had! ent intention of taking the foreign portfolio, and this apparently leaves the field to Lord Curzon. Previous to making his statement concerning Lold-George, Lord Norlh cliffe had definitely settled the ques tion whether he would join the new ministry when he said to a Central News interviewer: "I have no intention of joining the new cabinet. I prefer to sit. in Print ing House Square and Carmelite house." From Carmelite house Lord North cliffe publishes the Daily Mail, and from Printing House Square the Times. It is understood that Lloyd-George aims to have a cabinet of twelve mem bers, five of them unionists, five lib- jerals. and two labor representatives. From this number a small war cu- cil is to be appointed. PARTIAL BOYCOTT OF FOODSTUFFS EFFECTIVE (BY MORN, NO JOURNAL RRCCIAL LCAtBO WlRf) Seattle, Wash., Dec. 10.

Washington, Dec. 10. Congress will get down to actual work this week. Three measures are ready for imme diate consideration. They are the District, of Columbia prohibition bill, Immigration bill and corrupt practices measure. Corrupt practice legislation prob ably will be displaced temporarily by the immigration bill when the senate meets tomorrow, Inasmuch as demo cratic leaders are considering revising the former measure and pressing it for final action. The immigration 1,111, with its literacy test, probably will pass tho senate without prolonged dis cussion. The prohibition bill for the District of Columbia is to be urged by Senator Sheppard for the democrats, and Senator Kenyon for the republi cans. Its passage by the senate is ex pected. Senate democrats will caucus Wed nesday to choose a successor to the late Senator Clarke as president pro tempore. Senator Saulsbury of Dela ware Is the most active candidate. The caucus also will consider the legisla tive program. The house probably will do little except routine worn un- til after the Christmas recess. President Wilson's vocational cdu- 'rational bill will be called up tomor row and Cliai-man Hughes of the ju ration committee hopes that It will pass before night. The purpose of the measure is to help slate schools, teaching agriculture and trades, by (paying teacners salaries in pari huh establishing schools for tho develop- metiet of instructors in those branches. Chairman Lever of the agriculture committee hopes to get his cotton standardization bill up this week, too. Speaker Clark has not abandoned his fight for a shorter Christmas re cess. !;!N0 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR THIS YEAR OR LAST TBY MORN I NO JOURNAL SPICIAL LEA8C0 W.Rtl London, Dec. 1 0.
