London, Nov. 1a.---By the shrewd-
est political coup of his career Pre-
mier Lloyd-George today sent thrill
of jubilatson through a partly hostile
parliament before which he was on
trial for his 'brutally frank" Paris
speech. In the midst of an eloquent
defense of the internally war council
he suddenly switched TO the suhma-
rine question and announced triumph
antly:
Five U-boats were destroyed last
Saturday alone There is no longer
any ground for fear of the submarine
peril
Tumultuous cheering swallowed the
second sentence. The house of COM
mons resounded for several minutes
with an ovation such as has not been
heard there since the fall of Bagdad
1t was the giaddest news Britain has
heard about the Uboat campaign
since the birth of that menace, the
real subject OF the debate was for
gotten and the rejoicing of the whole
In one great reclamation of the an
nouncer of the glad tidings.
Up to that moment the atmosphere
had been tense with the sort of hos
tility that has been long stored up
and has found the hour ripe for the
body blow. The friends and foes OF
the creation of an literally war coun-
ell had mustered every available force
of argument and influence to fight out
decision. The house was crammed.
On the face of things Lloyd George
had emerged victor for the days de-
bate when the session adjourned, and
his announcement OF the blow dealt
the U-boat menace had no little 10
do with his victory. for 1T had changed
the mood OF the whole house from
sullen skepticism to apconciltatory at
ttude open to conviction.
Lloyd George refused to retract one
iota OF his Paris speech. He defended
his charges OF 'ineffaceable blunders
and stuck to bis view that only unity

wOMANsS IMPRESSIONS
ABOUT THE DEFENDANT
ax ANNABE1iE foMLF.

MfneoIa, Z. l., Nov. 1s.~-Mrs. Bt~
anca Desauues looked more like
society dehutante than the defendant
in a murder trial as she sat almost
unconcernedIy today watching the sc
lection of tho jurymen in whose hands
her fate will rest.
Naturally slender and probably not
more than Ave feet in height, she
carried an impression OF astonishing
youth and fragility. Her smooth.
dear. almost psllid face WAS accentu-
ated by the fiinsy white chiffon waist
she wore. The low. rolling collar con-
trihuted an almoct girlish effect. Her
clinging. pleated black skirt had a
swish that added further to the youth
full effect. She wore no tewelry.
With her abundant. velvetry dark
hair drawn straight back from her
white forehead. topped over her small
oars and then curied In thick. loose
curl at the nape OF her slender neck.
one could easily have taken the seri-
ous-eyed women for a school girl She
is twenty three years old. but she
could have passed for eighteen easily
today. She certainly does not look to
be a mother az she Is. Little Jack"
DeSaulles, ever whose tousled little
In evidence. but to most of the spec
tators II would have been hard to be-
lieve that this young woman who sat
staring silently ahead of her for sew
ersl hours. apparently oblivious of the
drama about her. was his mother.
Mrs. DeSaulles made an appealing
picture. Her large, dark eyes, shad-
ed by long curved lashes. gave her
face a soft expression resembling that
OF a scared fawn. She made no ap-
parent attempt to influence sentiment
toward her She simply sat silent ana
impressive al, day. taking no part In
the conduct of her defense. offering
her attorneys no suggestions and
speaking not a word to them until
late in the day WHEN they asked her
a question. 1t was evident that she
was making an effort to keep herself
as unconscious of her fateful sur
roundings as possible
No members of her family sat with
her to give support and assurance.
Only the motherly gray-haired wife
OF the sheriff. Mrs. Phineas Seaman,
sat with her. ---~---------~--~-s-A-----<

ported she was under too great q
nervous strain to be present.
Defense Gains First Point.
The defense was victorious In the
first distinct point gained In the case.
Justice Manning ruled. after bassic
between the opposing lawyers. that the
state must bear the burden of prov
Ing Mrs. DeSaulies was not teuporari-
~ insane. The controversy which
brought out the ruling was tnvoke ed
by Mr.. Uterhart's insistence that in $
asmuch as the defense would admit
the shooting, but would plead lapse Of
responsibility or Temporary dis
eased mind. the state must prove Mrs.
D@Ssaulies to have been sana beyond
a reasonable doubt. Mr.. Uterhart
clearly regarded the point gained an
important one.
Long before court opened q curious
crowd had gathered in and about the
court house, included among whom
were many society men and women.
1t became apparent during the ex-
animation OF taiesmen that neither
side wished to All the box with young
men. Only on the part of the prose
cution, however. was the reason made
clear. District Attorney Charles r.
Weeks questioned young prospective
jurors closely upon their attitude of
mind concerning defendant who was
n woman and young. Mrs. DeSaulles
was twenty three years old on April
q. last. He did not refer directly to
her personal charms, but between the
lines Of his interrogations It was plain
he feared to trust the peoples case to
the possible susceptibilities of young
men.
Mr.. rterhart also favored men who,
II not elderly. were at least past the
age termed young. Whether he re-
lied upon the meilowing influence OF
wears 10 render IL difficult or uimpossi-
young woman to the electric chair
was a problem he did not explain.
Examination Moves Slowly.
Over two hours were consumed In
the slow examination of talesmen be-
fore one WIS found who WAS accept
able to both sides. Meanwhile tweive
had been questioned at length, OF
whom nine We're excused for cause
and three were peremptortly chal-
lengrd by District Attorney Weeks
Some OF those excused by the court
for cause were or had at one time
been clients of some lawyer on one
side or the other. Others had con.
scientious scrupies against capital
punishment, or had formed ideas re.
ga<ding the guilt or innocence of the
defendant a few declared no evf
dence could alter their preconceiyed
opinion.
