The wing OF the centrist party repre-
sented by the Catholic Cologne Voiks

is taken by the Saxon minister of finance.

concerning the third anniversary Of the

lessly would lead to a German peace"
that should repay the fatherland for all
its sacrifices of gold and blood and make
secure the frontier and future OF Germany
in all directions
MichaeliS to Decide.
In connection with the discussion ~
garding the probable foreign policy under
DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann. secretary for
foreign affairs, the pan-German papers
point out that Chancellor Michaelis an
nounced his intention Of retaining the
conduct Of affairs in his own hands. They
call on him to enforce the program in
foreign affairs as the chancellor's con-
stitutional duty and prerogative. The
pan-German press is led to take this
stand not only by DR.. Michaelis' attitude
since the reichstag met with him. but by
his conference with Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg. There also has been a re-
publication of one Of the few utterances
by which DIR. Michaelis' pre-war atti-
tude in foreign politics may be judged. an
article written by him at the time the
Germans took possession of kiao-Chau.
In that article he wrote bitterly Of the
feelings of patriotic Germans at meeting
Great Britain at every turn in the Tar
east.

Popular Indignation Aroused at
German Persecution of Coastal
Ships.

BY the Associated Press.
CHRISTIANIA, August 11.-Popular in
dignation here against the German per-
secution of vessels in the Norwegian
coastal trade has again been aroused by
the case of the steamer Thorum, whose
officers, pilot and crew testified I'm the
naval court that they were inside the
three-rniie limit of the Norwegian coast
when seized a prize by a German SUBJ
marine last May. The steamer recently
was released by the German naval au-
thorities and has returned to a Nor
wegian port.
The newspapers here severely criticise
the government for accepting the German
note on the incident. which offers neither
apology nor compensation for the time
lost while the Thorum was held in a
German port. II is expected that the
incident will be brought up by interp0.
lation in the storthing.

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
Entered Council Last December.

Arthur Henderson entered the British
war council without portfolio in Decem-
Der. 1916. when Premier Lloyd George
formed a ministry in succession to that
headed by Herbert Asquith. Up to the
time of his appointment to represent labor
in the deliberations of the war council he
had been minister of pensions.
MIR. Henderson has been the center of
a political storm that has been brewing
in England fer several weeks. In June
last as a member of the British mission
TO Russia he went to Pstrograd. and after
comforting with the Russian council of
workmens and soldiers delegates re-
turned to London and advised the British
labor conference, representing a million
the international socialist conference at
Stockholm. The labor conference by more
than three to one voted in accordance
with Henderson's advice, thereby revers-
ing the policy to which the labor party
had committed itself at an earlier conven-
ton.
Considerable feeling was aroused in
England last month when Mr.. Henderson
went on a mission to Paris with the
j. Wardle. acting chairman of the labor
party in the house of commons and a
number of Russian delegates. The pur-
pose of the journey was to confer with
the French socialists regarding the pro-
posed conference of entente allied social
lists in London and the subsequent inter-
national conference at Stockholm. His
action aroused great irritation among the
members of the British parliament and
speaking for the government. admitted
that the trip to Paris had been made
without the knowledge of the British
government.

HENDERSON QUITS
BRITISH CABINET
Premier Tells Labor Member
He Misrepresented Others
in the Government.
UNIONS TRICKED, HE SAYS


By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 11.-Arthur Hen
derson, labor member of the British
war council, has resigned his member
ship in the cabinet.
Premier Lloyd George in letter ac-
cepting Mr.. Henderson's resignation
said the members of the British cabinet
were taken completely by surprise by
his attitude at the labor conference
The cabinet ministers. the premier
said. were completely opposed to the
Stockholm meeting, and Mr.. Henderson
should have informed them of his
change in views. The delegates to the
labor conference. he added We're JuSti-
fed in assuming that Mr.. Henderson's
advice represented the government
view.
Premier Lloyd George also blamed Mr..
Henderson for emitting 10 read the
message from Premier kerensky of
Russia. thus leaving the convention
without an important vital fact which
must have affected its judgment.

Mr.. Henderson's Statement.

Mr.. Henderson this afternoon gave
out the following statement.
In connection with the labor party
conference, what are obviously inspired
statements appear in the press of today
containing reflections upon himself
without being supported by evidence.
He deprecates the possibility of his at
titude at the conference being made
the subject of public recrimination or
controversy. He can only request the
public to suspend judgment until they
know the facts.
eff any statement of his position is
to be made at this juncture it will be
made in the proper place-namely, the
house of commons-and even then his
course will be influenced in 50 far as
it will affect the nations interested in
the successful prosecution of the war.
The above also applies to COM
munication which Mr.. Henderson has
received from the prime minister with
an intimation that il is being sent to
the press

Continued Press Criticism.

After hearing Mr.. Henderson's ex-
PLANTATION of his mission. which strong
~ emphasized his views that the pro-
posed conference at Stockholm should
be merely consultative and not in any
way binding. and Premier Lloyd
Georges defense of Mr.. Hendersons ac-
tion. press critics of the labor leader
still remained dissatisfied, and rumors
that he would be forced out of the cab
met flew thick and fast.
Mr.. Henderson started life as a mold
er. and has been member of parlia-
ment since 1903. He has held several
official positions in connection with the
trade union societies. and was chair
man of the labor party in the house of
commons in 190s-191o, and in 1914 He
was president of the board of educa-
,ion in 1915-191s, and paymaster gen
eral and labor adviser to the British
from october to December 1916.
In March of the present year Mrs.
Alice Wheeldon, her daughter. Mrs
Winifred Mason. and the latter's hus-
band. Alfred George Mason, were found
guilty of conSpirng to murder Mr.
Henderson and Premier Lloyd George
by means of poison. Mrs. Wheeldon was
sentenced to ten years penal servitude
and sentences of seven and five years
respectively. were imposed on Mason
and his wife.
Mr.. Henderson's eldest son, Capt. D.
Henderson, was killed in action Septem-
Der Is. 1916.

Russian Facts Hidden.

1t is asserted here that Arthur Hen
derson did not represent fully and &C
eurately the view now entertained in
official Russian circles regarding the
international conference at Stockholm.
The Evening Standard says Premier
kerensky of Russia sent his views to
London yesterday for the information
of the British government.
The Russian premier made ii clear"
the newspaper says, that while Rus
sian delegates would not be prevented
from attending the Stockholm con-
ference the decisions of that body
would in no way bind the Russian gov
eminent"
George Nicoll Barnes. minister of
pensions. who has attended the meet
ings of the war cabinet since Arthur
Henderson started on his mission to
Russia. probably will succeed Mr..
Henderson as labor representative in
the war cabinet. The press agencies
say the other labor ministers in the
government unanimously opposed Mr..
Henderson's course and that labor's
support of the government is not like
ly to be affected by his resignation.

Sharp Division in Labor Ranks.

Yesterdays decision by the labor
party to send delegates to the Stock
holm conference caused a sharp differ
ence in the ranks of labor organiza-
tions as well as in public opinion. W.
A. Appleton, general secretary of the
Federation of Trades Unions. charges
that Mr. Henderson has destroyed the
unity of the allied democracy and labor
The Seamen's Union is discussing the
advisability of calling for referendum
of all labor unions on the question of
sending delegates to Stockholm. Mean
while the seamen threaten to prevent
ships sailing with the delegates.
The diversity of opinion in the news
papers on the situation is wide. I'M
portant journals like the Times and
the Morning Post bitterly oppose one
section of the public comforting with
other nationalties. particularly with
enemies on war questions. On the other
hand. the important and in no way
pacif1st Westminster Gazette says:
The government should have taken
a clear line from the beginning and
should have told the Russians that it
absolutely trusted our working people
in comforting with the working people
OF any other country. and was confident
that the allied cause would be safe in
their hands
The Manchester Guardian also is
among the papers holding similar
views These papers contend that the
British point of view and Great Brit
aims objects in the war never have
been really understood by the Russians.
who largely consider that they are
capitalistic" aims and that America is
dominated by the same element They
claim also that the German minority
socialists never have had the British
case adequately presented TO them.
Premier Makes Letters Public.
Premier Lloyd George tonight made
public Arthur Hendersou's letter Of resig-
nation and his acceptance. both dated to-
day Mr.. Hendersou'= letter follows
Dear Prime Minister At our inter-
view last night ! gathered sou had
