DAVID LLOYD GEORGE HAS
SPLIT THE LIBERAL PARTY.
New. Cabinet Will Command More
Support from the Conservatives.

London Dec. S.--ICVentS today en-
phasized the fact that David Lloyd
George, the new premier. has split sne
liberal party into two factions. Inc
new cabinet will command more sup
porr from the conservatives in parlla-
meLt than from the liberals.
The liberal conference today pledged
itself to support the new government,
as indeed any party must do Ia sucn
a crisis as Great Britain has to meet,
bue the old party leaders will occupy
in, the house of commons place OF
friendly opposition and criticism. TINS
pos,tion IS not unusual in the British
parliament.
One reason advanced for the failure
of Premier Asquith's coalition govern
ment is that there was no stro:g op-
position and criticism in parliament,
because opposition was considered dis
loyalty to the nation.
Nearly all the antagon1Sm the new
adr,inistrati is meeting comes from
members of the liberal party and from
liberal newspa pers. although LORD
Nor thcliffe, who has been one OF Pre-
rnicr Lloyd Georges strongest adVo-
Gates, made a strong protest today IN
the Evening News when the appoint
ment of A. J. Balfour and Lord Rob-
ert Cecil to the foreign Office was re-
por-ed. His newspapers have been
listing Balfnur as one Of the "sen1le
statesmen" and the Evening News
attacks Lord Robert On the ground
that his mana cement of the blockade
has shown more consideration for the
interests of neutral nations than for
British interests.

cHEMUNG WENT DOWN
WITH AMERICAN FLAG FLYING
Was Fired on After a Signal That She
Was Stopping Had Been Hoisted.

Paris, Dec. 8, $40 p. m.-The Che
mung went down with the American
flag flying, all right" said Captain
John J. Duffy, master of the steam
ship Chemung. which was sunk by a
submarine off the coast of Spain, Nov.
%, to the Associated Press today. But
[ had no argument over the flag with
the Austrian submarine commander"
Captain Duffy was in Paris for a
few hours today on his way to Eng
land, whence he will sail for the Unit
ed States.
1--WE were fired on after had hoist
ed signal that I was stopping" said
the Chemung's master. I'VE had been
on the lookout for submarines and had
trained to stop as soon as we were
signalled. Soon thereafter the first
gun was fired our ei%nal that we were
stopping went up. Nevertheless, a shell
fred afterward struck our bows.
l. 'EVslen the ship was strtich by the
torpedo-a4our boats were not out of
range of the debris, which shot up in
to the air for q thousand feet and fell
all around us. 1t was a lucky chance
no one was hurt.
Third Officer Jacobsen, who went
to the submarine with the ships pa
pers, says the Austrians first intended
to make me a prisoner. But he said
to them: Don't. The captain is a very
good sort l was not taken aboard
the submarine but Jacobsen said she
was of very large type, being ITO
feet long. he guessed. He said she
had a high bow like a yacht, not like
the bow of an ordinary submarine"

LABOR LEADERS TO DRAFT
BILL DEALING WITH STRIKES
Congressional Action Will Await the
| Outcome of Their Efforts.

Washington, Dec. S.-Congressional
action on President Wilson's railway
legislation programme probably will
await the result of determined efforts
of labor leaders to draft as a substi-
tute for all forme of compulsory arbi-
tration a plan for dealing with strikes,
actual and threatened, which will be
agreeable to their followers, employ
erS and the administration.
The determination of the president
to undertake making impossible by law
such situation as he faced last Sep
tember in a railroad dispute has
aroused all branches of labor to the
greatest activity. The unofficial alli-
ance between the American Federation
of Labor and the four railway broth
erhoods, arranged recently at Balti-
more for the purpose, among other
things, of opposing dangerous leg
islation, is bearing it's first fruit in
conferences between representatives of
both organizations for the purpose of
drafting a plan that will shelve all
compulsory arbitration bills.
Congressional leaders, aware of this
activity, are inclined to go slowly on
the presidents programme pending an
nouncement of labor's proposals, pro-
cided, of course, they are revealed
during the present session of congress.
A delay even of sixty days, a house
leader said today, would still leave
congress time to take any action if
might deem necessary.

PLANS COMPLETED FOR
HIGH COST INVESTIGATION
Nation Wide Plan to Be Presented
to President Wilson.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Officials con-
Quoting the governments inquiry into
the high cost of living virtually COM
pleted tonight a programme to place
simultaneous grand jury investiga-
tions throughout the country.
Details as to the number and To-
cations of the proposed inquiries were
not disclosed further than that they
would be nation wide. 1t is under
stood that in addition to the officials
now directly engaged in collecting in
formation, others may be named.
It was said that doubt no longer
existed as to whether there had been
combinations of men to boost coal
prices and that effective means to
punish those who have violated the
law in contributing to the rises were
being studied. One of the chief prob
lens facing officials is how to reach
the men under suspicion without en-
abling some of them to obtain immu-
uity by testifying before grand juries
or other inquisitorial bodies.
President Wilson and the cabinet
discussed the situation at today's
meeting and, it is understood, de-
cided to await further disclosures be-
fore reaching a conclusion as to rec
concentrations to be made by the pres
ident to congress.
In congress, the house commerce
cornmitte decided to defer action on
bills and resolutions bearing on the
subject until after the holidays.

ALLIED SHIPPING WARNED
TO LOOK OUT FOR STRANGE SHIP
Believed to Re Raider-Was Inter
cepted, BIT Allowed to Proceed.

Halifax, MS, Dec. s. Allied ship
ping was warned by British naval au-
thorities tonight to be on the look
out for a strange vessel believed to
be a raider, which was intercepted on
December second off the northwestern
coast of Scotland and allowed to pro-
ceed under the impression that she was
The Dutch steamer Gamma. Later it
was learned that the Gamma was at
Kirl1wall on that date and did not
leave until December 8.
The identity of the supposed raider
has not been determined. Admiralty
officials APPARENTLY suspect that if she
is a hostile craft, she may carry mines
for dropping off this port, the center of
British naval activity on this conti-
nent and the point Of departure for
could reach here from the position
where she was last reported by to-
morrow or Sunday.
The text of the warning continues:
"a vessel was intercepted at a. m.

place south of Jarovnik. Berlin says
the Russian offensive in the Carpathi-
ans can be said to be a failure and de-
clares only local attacks have occur
red in that region. The repulse of a
Russian attack on the Dvina front,
below Riga, is also recorded by Berlin.
Hill 304, in the Verdun region, and
the forest of Apremont, southeast of
ST. Mihiel, have been the scenes of the
only reported activity on the western
front. Paris claims the Germans were
elected from a section of the trenches
on Hill 304 but Berlin asserts the
troops of the crown prince repulsed
French attempts to re-take the trench
es. The Germans, Paris records, sue
ceeded in gaining a foothold in French
trenches in the forest of Apremont,
but were later elected by a counter
attack.
Heavy fighting around Stravina, east
of Monastir, on the Macedonian front
is recorded by Paris, which says the
Serbians checked three attacks by Ger
mans and Bulgarian troops. Serbian
attacks near Trnova, west of Monastir
were repulsed, Berlin states. Snow in
the Trentino region and rain on the
Carso is hampering infantry action on
the Austro- Italian front.
The loss of the battleship Suffren,
with its complement of 718 men,. is
considered probable by the French
minister of marine. The Suffren,
which sailed for POrient, Brittany, on
November "a, has not been heard from
since. The loss of two Norwegian. one
Greek and one Belgian steamship is
announced in London, as is reported
the sinking of the British steamship
Caledonia, 9,223 gross tons. The Gale
donia has been in the service of the
British government.

PROBLEMS INVOLVING
FINANCING OF FARMS
Debated at Conference on Marketing
and Farm Credits.

Chicago, Dec. g. - Cattle raisers,
economists of the colleges and the
government, plain farmers, and mar
keting experts to the number of 500
tional conference on marketing and
farm credits here completed their la
bors today.
They took up problems involving
farm finance, putting the 1andless man
on the manless land, efficient market
ing, conservation and rural develop
ment and suggested remedial proce-
dure in resolutions adopted this aft
noon.
Sensational predictions of attacks
by the cattlemen on the packers did
not materialfze. The more influential
speakers suggest that the agricultur-
lists seek to learn efficiency and CO.
operation.
The resolutions adopted today ex-
will be readily saleable but remark the
necessity for a system of short time
credits in addition for the farmer. Leg
lslation to this end and is asked of
congress.
Congress is also asked to provide an
authority to certify notes. secured by
livestock or other farm products, Sc
that they may have a ready market
at reasonable rates. This, it is
argued, would relieve the farmer OF
the high interest charged by local
money lenders.
To overcome the evils of tenant
farming said to be increasing, the
reaolutions call for soil soil surveys
which will show the exact character
istics and value of every parcel OF
land in the country and government
aid to the farmer until his land is ir
shape to provide him a living. "Ready
made" farms are suggested.

ness correspondents in London. As
local underwriters as heavily interest
ed in the insurance of the alermo's
cargo and were not concerned in the
other vessel, they made especial ef-
forts to obtain confirmation of the
London report, but had received no

Pursuit Of the retiring Russian and
Rumanian forces in eastern Wallachia
by Field Marshal Won Mackensen con-
tinues, but how far the Teutonic ad-
vance has progressed is not made clear
in the latest official communicates.
Berlin chronicles the continuation of
the advance along the whole front
with the capture of $4,000 prisoners and
Petrograd says the Russians and Ru-
manians have been retiring since the
evacuation of the Rumanian capital.
Seemingly the retiring defenders of
Rumanian soil are offering littl re-
Bistance and are endeavoring to reach
the line of the Buzeu river before the
Austro- Germans can break through the
Moldavian frontier and get in their
rear or the BulgarianS and Germans
can cross the Danube round Tcherna-
voda and outflank them. However,
there has been little activity iether in
the Transylvanian-M Moldavian frontier
or In Dobrudja- The Germans have
repulsed q Russian attack in the Tro-
tus valley and the Russians report the
checking of an offensive movement in
the Ertuz valley. Petrograd says all
has been calm in Dobrudja and along
the Danube.
In the rounding up of the forces cut
off by their advance on Bucharest, the
troops of Won Mackensen have cap
tured $4,000 prisoners and 26 guns.
The Rumanian troops isolated in west
ern Wallachia, numbering 5000, have
been taken as well as 10000 of the
forces operating around Predeal and
A1tchanz passes.
Undeterred apparently by the check
ing of their offensive in the Carpathi-
ans, the Russians have again taken
the initiative there, Petrograd states.

The decision to protest formally

The Note.
"On November 20. Mr.. Grew, our
charge at Berlin, was directed to OBJ
tain an interview with the German
chancellor and read to him the follow
ing:
'' The government of the United
States has learned with the greatest
concern and regret of the policy of the
German government to deport from
Belgium portion of the civilian pop
ulation for the purpose of frcing them
to labor in Germany and is constrain-
ed to protest in a friendly spirit but
most solemnly against this action
which is in contravention of all pre-
cedentS and of those humane princi-
pies of International practice which
have long been accepted and followed
by civilized nations in their treatment
of nom combatants.
Furthermore, the government Of
the United States is convinced thai
the effect of this policy, if pursued
will in all probability, be fatal to the
Belgian relief work. so humanely plan
ned and so successfully carried out, E
result which would be generally de.
plored and which. 1t is assumed, would
