Scenes Of Disorder.

Belgrade, Servia, Dec. 26.-The Ma
tional Assembly finally has accepted
the loan and armament bills which was

The debate on these measures today
was attended by disorderly scenes on
.te part of members of Assembly, arls-
iu1 IRON the opening expression OF
sentiment. against the present Kara
geogeviica dynasty which gave rise to
reports in German and Austrian quar-
ters of a movement to dc:hrone King
Peter Following the street disorders
of the last few days, the occurrences
in the chamber today have added to
the seriousness of the present situa-
ton.
The King is at present confronted
with many difficult problems. among
which is the renewed activity Of the
supporters of the late King Alexander
and Queen Draga, who were murdered
the night of June 1919. 1903 and the
popular ill-fecling aroused by.the re-
cent escapades Of George, the crown
prince.
One of the deputies opposed the loan
on the ground that the members of
the rcignng house would personally
pocket large proportion Of it, and
the final debates brought out anti
dynastic demonstrations in which a
number of riotious students sustained
serious injuries. Premier Pasics has
received a number of threatening let
ter intimating that the present dynasty
will meet a fate similar to that Of its
predecessor

Workingn ~ Elected to Parliament
IBy Associated Pressl

London, Feb 12.-Former Premier
A. J. Balfour was the principal speak
er at banquet given tonight by the
conservatives of the city of London
to Sir Edward Clarke and Alban Gibbs.
There were three hundred persons
present, including number of the
most prominent men of the city.
Mr.. Gibbs and Sir Edward Clarke
responded briefly to the toast "Our
Guests Mr. Balfour, whose speech
had been anticipated with intense in
terest, as it was regarded as his reply
to Joseph Chamberlain's prounucia-
mento, spoke at great length, confining
himself mainly to fiscal questions. He
maintained that the results of the
general election could not be accepted
as final verdict against fiscal reform.
The cause of tariff reform must be de-
layed some years, but in the mean
while it was the duty of the opposition
to the present government to point
out the mistakes of the latter and
direct the country along the best lines
looking to the future of the country
Continuing, Mr.. Balfour said that
never had a government been returned
with a larger majority without a
cause which it wanted to carry out
and without any great personality to
guide it, but he was ready to concede
the present government even longer
life than five years.
In conclusion he welcomed the
workingmen in parliament, but said
he doubted if the present labor repre-
sentation was destined to introduce
legislation beneficial to the country or
which the unionists could support.
