ALL ENGLAND STIRRED
ABOUT SECRET SESSION
Speculation Rife as to Attitude
Lloyd George Will Assume.


London. April "a Intense interest is
being taken in the forthcoming secret
session Of Parliament tomorrow.
Business in the House Of Commons, IL
Is understood, will open in the normal
way with questions TO ministers. Of
which there are only thirty>four. Then
the Prime Minister will move that the
house hold a secret session. Such a
motion can be discussed. and presum-
ably the reporters gallery will not be
cleared until it has been passed. When
the motion shall have been agreed to
all public galleries will be closed and
the press gallery vacated. Besides the
members Of Parliament. the only per
sons remaining will be the sergeant-at-
arms and clerks at table.
There is much speculation in regard
20 the attitude Lloyd George will
assume. in view Of the strong attack
made upon him in THE Daily News,
which formerly was his most ardent
supporter in the press. His declaration
that he intends to do his best for the
country. despite all personal attacks
is exactly the sort Of replVhis friends
would expect him to make. but the
question is whether he will consider
this sufficient to clear the atmosphere.
