LONDON, Nov. 19.-"America would
have preferred a council with even
greater powers" declared Premier
Lloyd George in the house of commons
this afternoon in defending his plan of
an inter-allied council for the direction
Of the war.

commanders who agreed to the council
last July, the premier declared.
General Pershing, Foch, of the
French staff Robertson and Cadorna

it was Lord Kitchener who first sug-

the allied military authorities again

Tense of the inter-allied council plan

former Premier Asquith. Lloyd George
declared that no criticism was directed
against the stats or the commander
in chiefs of England or any other
country in his speech in Paris.
The declaration for unity of purpose
in a war council included in President
Wilson's message to Colonel Z. NJ.
House, head of the American mission
here. was timed too aptly with the
crisis in the Lloyd George cabinet not
to suggest to many British politicians
that President Wilson saw the chance
by adding the British premier to
achieve that unity of purpose which
America feels essential for winning the
war.
These same circles recalled also that
Lord Northcliffe's famous "bombshell
letter. of last week synchronized very
closely in point of it's publication and
in the emphasis laid on the necessity
for unity with the presidents instruc-
lions to his American commissioners in
London.
The prime point which the Lloyd
George supporters in the house of COM
mons desired to make clear in the aft
ernoon's debate, was that the Lloyd
George scheme of a supreme war coun-
ell does not propose to change British
army councils nor commands.

MRS. De SAULLES,
PALE AND SEDATE,
FACES HER TRIAL
Emotional Insanity Her Plea in
Justification of Killing Her
HuSband-Morning Is Taken
Up Selecting the Jury

MINEOLA, n. Y, Nov. 19.-The death
penalty for Mrs. Blanca De Saulles,
beautiful Chilean heiress, was demanded
by the prosecution today at the open
ing of her trial on charge of murder
ing her husband, John Longer De
Saulles, former Tale football star
District Attorney Weeks exercised d
peremptory challenge against Thomas J..
Mclaughlin, of Hampstead, the first
prospective juror called, because he was
not positive that he could send a woman
to the electric chair.
CHASTITY pale, Mrs. De Saulles entered
the court room shortly before Judge
Manning went on the bench. She was
guarded by a woman, Mrs. Phinneas A.
Seaman, wife of the sheriff. Mrs. De
Saulles was simply dressed in a shirt
waist and skirt. Her hair was drawn
straight back from her forehead and tied
in a Grecian knot. The short trip from
the pail to the court room was made
through the tunnel of sighs," an under
ground passage.
Mild, meek and gentle, slowly blink
ing her great dark eyes, Mrs. De Saulles
seemed the very opposite of the tiger
on the night of August because he
would not give up her child. There were
many empty seats in the court room
when the trial started. Admission was
by card only and many were turned
away.
Chilean relatives Of Mrs. De SaulIes
occupied seats inside the court railing.
1t was noticed that the woman on trial
gave most of her attention to Judge
Manning, watching him narrowly. She
ignored all of those sitting around her
except her attorney, Henry Uterhart, and
defense counsel, Smith.
Mother love will play leading part
in the trial.
There will be no plea Of ''unwriten
law" or justification"
Instead the defense will plead that

ity when her child was denied her.
Mrs De Saulles shot and killed the man
who kept her f1ve-year-old boy from her.

Further west the massed offensive

are finding it hard to cope with, despite
