LORDS TO
FIGHT

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
LONDON, July 15.-Political
affairs in England have taken a
great change within the past three
weeks. Before the coronation the
house of lords had apparently
made up it's mind to yield to the
liberal demand that it surrender
its veto power and become a mere
consultive body with the right to
delay, but not finally reject bills
passed by the house of commons.
Today there are many indica-
tons that the peers have decided
to fight, and in that case the en-
gagement promises to be warm
one.
