KING MAY ASSIST
IN LORDS REFORM
British Sovereign Attends Session
of Privy Council to Discuss
Legal Measures
REDUCTION IN Membership
LansdoWne Advocates Abolish
ment of Hereditary Principle
in Parliamentary Chamber
4 REDUCTION IN MEMBERSHIP
1Associated Pressl

LONDON, Nov licking George met
the privy council today presumably
for the purpose of obtaining the ad-
vice of the councillors regarding MS
course in the matter Of giving premier
Asnuith guarantees to increase the
number of peers sufficiently to sup
port the government in its policy OIL
reforming the house Of lords. Inc
meeting brought together the leaders
of both parties. The cabinet also helu
sessions today.
THE impression is widespread that at
the meeting with the premier ana Win
the priyy councillors the king suggest
ed that the veto bill be sent in due
course to the upper chamber for con-
sfderation. This probably coincideo
with Mr.. Asquith's personal WISH
LANsDoWNE MAKES WINNING
The Earl Of Crewe did not place any
specific limit as to the length of the
debate on the veto bill but said the
Government later would consider Wheh
fhe second reading of the measure
should be taken up. Lord Lansoo"ue'
the opposition leader, thus scored the
first point in the political game anu
disorganized the government oIlslilas %
n1ans for the immediate dissolution OF
parliament, though there is nothing
tangible to show how long the day
may be deferred.
The Earl of Crewe said he did not
agree with the belief expressed by LORD
Lansdowne yesterday. that future con-
ferences might be more successluI
than the one just opened, saying;
THAT conference has shown conclu-
sively that 1t is impossible to settIe
this question by agreement
The earl added that the government
would not accept any amendments to
the veto bill. The veto bill passed the
first reading.
Lord Lansdowne, on moving the IN
yitatian of the movement to produce
veto bill for consideration by parlia-
ment, said that the upper house was
ready with it's contribution toward a
solution of the question at issue. His
party, continued Lord LansdoWne, was
committed to the view that in re-
formed house of lords there should be
a reduction of membership, abolition of
the hereditary principle, an adequate
representation of the best elements OF
the existing house, reinforced from the
outside either by nomination or some
kind of an election. They also were
ready, he said, to devise some means
of settling the differences between the
two houses.

TESTS ON PURITAN
PROVE VALUABLE
Naval Officer Declares Explosion
Could Not Do Same Damage
to Modern Boat
MONITOR IS BADLY DAMAGED
The Armor Plate BuckIed and
Cracked, Seams Opened
Letting in Water
MONITOR IS BADLY DAMAGED
ASSOCIATED Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Informa-
expected to result from the test to
which the monitor Puritan was sub
jected yesterday at Hampton Roads
when heavy charges of nitro glycerine
gelatine were exploded against her tur-
ret and water line armor.
Rear Admiral Newton E. Mason,
chief of the bureau of ordnance of the
navy, is of the opinion that such an
attack will never be duplicated in ac-
tual warfare. But he said valuable
information was gained in connection
with the manner of backing armor
plates in warship construction so that
the maximum of resistance to buckling
and dislodgment under any kind of
attack may be secured.
Rear Admiral Mason believes the ex-
plosions would not have had the same
effect on q modern battleship, whose
resisting power is much greater than
that of the monitor.
Admiral Mason calls attention to the
turret armor of the Puritan which has
a thickness of eight inches, as against
12 and IA inches in the battleships of
the latest design.
ARMOR NOT HEAVY
The side armor of the monitor at
inches thick tapering to five inches at
the lower edge of the belt. Her belt
armor extends only about three feet
below the normal water line and only
two and a half feet below the exist
ing waterline at the time of the test.
While the armor of the turret,
against which the first explosion Of 200
pounds of explosive gelatine was made,
was considerably bent and cracked,
Admiral Mason says that so far as
now is apparent the turret was not
vitally damaged.
Thea second charge, directed against
the armor belt. buckled the plate,
springing its ends outward and opening
up the seams at the ends. The lower
edge of the plate also was buckled
outward opening up a seam below wa
ter and starting a bad leak While
it is impossible to state the extent Of
the damage below the armor belt, the
admiral says there is no indication that
1t was serious.
The wider plates of a battleship's
belt, the statement says, would have
resisted buckling more effectually and
the longitudinal bulkhead which exists
in all modern ships, would have con-
fined the flooding within narrow limits.
