PREM|ER'S DEFENSE
ENDS STORM CLOUDS
Lloyd George UphoIds Inter-
allied Council and His
Speech In Paris.
NO HINT OF APOLOGY

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. November 2o.-Prenier Lloyd
George defended himself in the house of
commons yesterday afternoon against the
first serious attack his administration has
faced. and. 80 far as the commons Is con-
cerned, his defense seemed highly sue
cessful; the prime minister's admirers call
it a. triumph.
The reception Of Lloyd Georges speech
by the morning newspapers 1ustifles the
assumption that the storm which lately
threatened a crisis has passed, not only
without damaging the premieTs hold on
the country, but perhaps even strength
ening it. It is conceded even by his op-
ponents that the speech was in the pre-
miers best manner and was a parliament
tary triumph. Editorial encomiums flow
freely from his supporters. while the COM
ments of hostile critics lack tho fierce
ness Of previous denunciation-
The attack was focused upon two
points-the character Of the war coun-
ell. which the premier announced in
Paris. and the condemnation of the al
lies past strategy which he pronounced
in his Paris speech.
Ex-Premier Asquith was spokesman
for the opposition. His speech was not
in the tone Of an attack. but sharp
criticism of the new plan for allied con-
troll Of the war.
Mr.. Asquith's criticism was based on
two grounds-that the new war council
would conflict with the general staff.
and there would be two separate mil
itary advisory bodies, and the omission
Of the navy from membership.
The Welsh leaders reply was a char
acteristic fighting speech OF the type
which has made him famous. There
was no thought of retraction for any
thing he had said or done, no hint of
an apologize strain. which some ex-
pected. for what had been called the
Paris indiscretion.

Bombardment from the Air.

II may be stated at the very outset
that the lWge scale bonbardmentS of
Germany, which may appear so feasible
in America, are an impossibility. 1t
takes pilot of extraordinary Ndur
ance to bomb even the WcStwhalian
border towns Because Essen is only
200 miles from the battle front, anC
there arc airplanes capable OF making
100 miles an hour, one must not juml
at the conclusion that the town can be
bombed in four-hour flight Actually
the return trip requires over sever
hours OF continuous flying The fcw
men who have keen able to carry out
these long raids were, almost without
exception, pilots before the war; they
have q minimum al three years flying
training. The cities and towns within
reach OF the averaRc bombsrdment pi-
lot are, as rule not desirable objec-
tlves, owing TO the presence OF French
and Belgian civilians, who would suffer
more than the Germans in case the
place were hombarded, The only real
Iy effective bombing raids are thos
directed against purely military objec-
tlVes, environments, muniton depots and
the like, and which are carried out in
connection with offensive operations
The general commanding designates as
oblcctlves the points which destruction

independent bonb-dropping expeditions
no matter on what scale they may be
carried out will not in themselves drive
the Germans out of their trenches, any
more than will merely pounding their

As variation to bombing them out.
II has been suggested that huge fleets
ni arplanes be used to sweep down on
the trenches and destroy the occupants
by machine gun fire. This idea is suf.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

There are those who will sec in Rooscvelt's offer to raise volunteer division of troops tor servlce n Europe only desire to occupy place on the war stage where the full glare of the Iimelght may re- veal him to the world as 'the' great American. Bu; this will be rather unjust impression. That the energetic Colonel loves the glare of publicity and IS an adept in the business of keeping himself in spicuous position will not be denied. But this IS not all Like the successful advertiser in the mer- cantIe world he has the goods to display to back up his public announcements lie has perslstenty and energetically taken the stand that Amenca s place in the great world struggle IS by the side ot the nations which are fighting to eliminate mltarsm and auocracy from the field of international politics as menace to the peace of the world The United States having declared for war, 1t was but natural that Roosevelt ever willing to follow words with action, should endeavor to do his part, and even more, in the great struggle for the maintenance ot his and the country ideals If that part should hap pen to be a conspicuous one much the more would it be to his liking. He may not be great military leader and it IS probable that he has not the military knowledge and training necessary to entitIe him to high command in such strugg e as that in which we are now engaged But one thing is certain Invested with such command as he has asked, he will give a good account of himself, and will devote his utmost energy and intelligence to the task imposed upon hm It will not detract in the least from his usefulness that his every action will be accompanied by the bIare of trumpets and the heroic efforts of the special correspondents.
 It IS evident that the national legislature feels that the great enthusiasm which Roosevelt can command is factor which should be used to the utmost ac- vantage His preferment may be dlstasteful to the military establishments but it should be remembered that the army is but branch of the public service, and must bow, as all other component parts of the republic and individual citizens must bow, to what is considered by the legislative and executive de- partments to be for the best interest of the nation
 Roosevelt's expedition will create enthusiasm, which is a valuable asset in war times

THE YARROWDALE PRISONERS

The dispatches last week announced that the l Z7 Americans who were taken prisoner by German raid CTS in the South Atlantic and conveyed to Germany on the Yarrowdale were still being detained. It will be remembered that shortly before the out break of war between the United States and the kaiser's government 1t was announced that these prisoners were to be immediately released, the date set being March /.
 Aside from the broken promise, the history of the case of these prisoners not in the least credit able to Germany Of course in the first instance Ger many had no right to hold these Americans prisoner The United States not at war, and these citizens were presumably travelling on lawful business. It was the duty of the Germans to land them at neu- ra port and allow of their return to the United States. Instead they were conveyed to Germany and compelled to undergo severe hardships and n- convenience. Four of these prisoners arrived at Copenhagen on March 2, after having been held for three months. They were Dr. John Davis, Colum- bus, Miss; Orville McKim Watertown, N Y; Dr. H. D. Snyder, Norfolk, Va; Richard Zabriskie, En- glewood, N. J. The four men were practically des- htute. Their story Is related in a news dispatch of that date as follows:
