KING ARRIVES At
SCENE OF TURMOIL
His Action in Turning Down As
quith's Proposal Is Latest Turn IN
Stirring Political Strife.

LONDON. Nov l6-The report that
King George has refused 10 promise
Premier Asquith 20 create sufficient
liberal peers TO outnumber the con
seryatiyes in the house OF lords has
startled Great Britain as no political
announcement in years.
n is said the king made This re-
} fusal positive and declared be would
not recede from IL even II the Coun-
try went Overwhelming liberal AZ the
forthcoming general elections
King George is known TO have pro
nounced Tory feelings. but the idea
that he would defy popular opinion.
as is expected 10 be expressed at the
polls in December, strikes the people
as Incredible. Even the conservatives
are startled by the possible conse-
Quences OF George act.
The Morning News. in a review OF
the situation. says
"Iu a survey OF the theoretical pos
sibilitiss OF the political situation. one
is compelled TO take into conSidera-
ton the practically inconceivable
idea that the crown may ally itself
with the house Of lords 10 prevent the
itkdAialAk " TIC INQNAt lAnA g.
Such a move would mean a monarch
ial revolution, added TO the peers rev
ulution. and in such an event the
gravest happenings that the country
has noted in centuries are 10 be eX-
pected."
Kine George arrived at London to-
day from Sandringham 10 be on the
firing line.
Asquith has demanded that II the
people. in the elections he expected TO
call in December, returned an over
whelming majority for the liberals in
the house OF commons, King George
should agree TO create sufficient lib
eral peers TO outvote the conservatives
in the house OF lords In this way.
Asquith expected 10 have the house
OF lords pass the parliament bill,
by which the veto power Is taken
away from the hereditary peers. A
liberal house of commons. to be sure.
could pass the veto bill. but 1t could
not become a law until il had been
passed by the house of lords. AS at
present constituted. the house of lords
will never vote TO emasculate itself.
A serious crisis was expected TO be
preclpltdttI D9 the NOup Sbi uAS -
the house OF lords by Lord Lans-
downe. the uuionist leader. who an
nounced that he would today request
the government TO introduce the par
lament bill Immediately in the house
OF lords. The earl of Crewe. the gov
eminent leader. replied that he did
not know what action the government
would take on the request, which Is
intended and expected seriously 10
hamper the liberals. II they acceded
to L.ansdowne's demand. they would
nrecipitate the veto question in a
house OF commons not overwhelming
ly liberal and in a house OF lords
known TO be antagonistic. As II can
not be presumed that the lords would
consider the passage OF the bill. IN
Producing il al this time would have
the effect of greatly delaying the sen
eral elections while refusal TO IN
troduce II would place the govern
meut in the attitude OF going before
the people with the intimation that
the ministry had met a reverse even
before il had brought out its veto Oil
for passage.

The author cites instances TO show

Another chapter bears the startling
title Education at the Costs OF HUI

show by concrete examples that It

truth. that a large proportion OF the
young graduates turned loose TO prac-
tice medicine are totally unqualified
TO play with human life, and that
many OF them gain the experience
that they should get in hospitals un
der the eye OF skilful surgeons
among their tTustful patients, who
often give up their lives In the furth-
ering OF his education.
In another chapter he takes up the
''unspeakRble" quack. whose practices
have been made public from time to
time and adds fresh instances TO
, those that have already been piled
up against these frauds and charla.

advances that have been made in

awful outrages OF inexperienced and
