ENGLISH SPEAKERS
cR|T|c|SE GOVERNMENT
tivity Eng Land Is Now Face to
Face With Starvation.

London, Dec. THAT England Is
now at the crisis of the war and that
an entire change of government Is
necessary to survival was the grave
warning sounded by Admiral Lord
Beresford, former commander OF the
home fleet. at meeting of London
shipping and mercantile men today
The meeting was marked by violent
onslaughts on the government and its
handling of naval affairs.
That England faces starvation and
that all her trade routes--those in
the Pacific as well as in the Atlantic
are menaced by the German subma-
rine warfare was charged by the
speakers.
Demands that the present govern
ment be turned out and that the ad :
miralty be reorganized We're voiced.
The meeting was part of general
campaign to bring about a tighter
blockade and to arouse the admiralty
and feet to greater activity.
1t came on the heels of the transfer
of fleet leadership from Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe to Vice Admiral Sir Da-
vid Beatty
Thousands OF tons of food which
were coming to England have been d.
verified to Germany" said Lord Sir
Beresford. I'VE face the crisis of the
war. Enemy submarines have now
transferred their activities from shall
low waters to the deep sea. They are
going TO send submarines to the Pa
cific, to wherever our trade routes
are.
The menace requires new methods
and strategy to meet 1t. But the ad-
miralty has taken no measures to
meet the threat"
plea that the government should
heed overtures guaranteeing an hon
orable peace was combined with a
demand for greater naval activity by
Thomas Gibson Bowies. another
speaker.
Mr. Bowles stated. however. that he
considered the present government
mo more able to make peace than it
Is to make war"

FINDS HER CHILD
AFTER DOZEN YEARS

Hartford, Conn. Dec. Mrs Flor
ence Padmore instituted proceedings
here today to obtain the custody Of
Dorothy Brickley. fifteen-year- old
New Haven High School girl. whom
she declares is her own daughter, who
has been missing for twelve years.
Mrs. Padmore said she had searched
Philadelphia, the mountains Of Penn
sylvania, Chicago and portions Of
Connecticut for the child. According
to the woman. she separated from her
husband twelve years ago and placed
the girl In the home Of the Brtcklsys,
agreeing to pay for her support.
Up to two years ago, Mrs. Padmore
said, she could get no trace Of the
Brtckleys. who. sheL said. had moved
away from Philadelphia. She then
learned they were in Connecticut, and
claimed to have adopted the child un-
der an agreement signed by MIRA Pad
more in 1908. Mrs. Padmore says she
signed no such agreement.
Today she obtained in the Superior
Court an order directing Eli J. Brick
ley and his wife to appear in court
on December and show cause why
the custody Of the child be not given
to her.
