Especial Gable Dispatch to the World
and Albuquerque Journal,
Paris, France, Dec. 27.-Viscount
Northcliffe gave to The World and
Journal the following highly signifi-
cant opinion on the prospects of Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges new coalition
government to be formed when the
results of the recent election are an
nounced on December %.
1t will be seen that the general
election, of which the Northcliffe pa
pers originally were the strongest adj
Vocates was to have been run on real
coalition lines, so that the best men
of all parties might be included in
the government, but the managers
representing the interests got control
of the combination, for which Lord
NoSthcliffe does not predict a pro-
lOnged life.
Strange Features of Election.
Some election indeed was ours
last week. he said. ut seemed as
though every woman elector in Great
Britain was determined to show her
delight at her new acquisition.
Strange too, it is to think British SOL
diers have been polling in Germany,
France, Flanders, Greece. Malta and
Egypt, and British sailors have been
casting their votes in many parts of
the world
The polling of all the electors resi-
dent in Great Britain took place on
Dec. II. The ballot boxes containing
their votes have been locked up in
the cells of police stations From
now onward until Dec 2S the soldiers
and sailors votes will be pouring in
from all parts of the globe.
1T will be a long period of sue-
pense for the ] 500 men and women
candidates, out of whom 703 will in
few days he declared returned as
members of the house of commons,
orr congress.
Predicts STRONG Labor Party.
II claim no skill as forecaster of
elections, but ] believe that what is
known as the coalition. that is to
say, the party headed by LLOYD
George, which is supposed--but only
supposed-to contain the best ele-
ments of the conservative party IRE
publicans), and the libral party
(democrats), will be opposed by n
very formidable labor party 1t is

coed in getting into his new govern
ment sufficient backing from the
leaders Of labor, who are openly
suspicious of the new combination
that we call the coalition.
From the point of view of foreign
ers the new British parliament will
be worth watching, and from long
acquaintance with The New York
World | know il will give its readers
very accurate picture of what is
taking place at Westminster"

bate in executive committee and were
SO engaged when word was received
that delegation of working men was
outside demanding admission under
threat by DR.. Karl Leibknecht that
there would be a general strike in
Berlin on Thursday if the request was
refused.
The Congress finally agreed to ap-
point committee to meet delega-
tion after the plenary session, when
suddenly thirty workmen and several
women forced their way to the Speak
er's stand and the session again was
thrown into tumult. The spokes-
man of the invaders demanded the
right to present resolutions demand
ing that all authority be vested in the
soldiers and wortmen's councils.
PandemOnium Follows.
The chairman warned that speakers
were not permitted, while shouts came
from the floor that the invaders be re-
moved. General pandemonum fol-
lowed, but the chairman finally re-
stored order by compromising with
the invaders and permitting them to
present their resolution. The invad-
ers then left the hall. They are be-
lieved to have been members of the
Spartacus group who are on strike.
The successive periods of disorder
called for some criticism by some
of the delegates from outside of Ber-
lin. The atmosphere of the Congress
is electric and it is difficult to pre-
dict what the next twelve hours may
produce.

invaded by party of soldiers. 1t
accuses the Extreme Left Of aiming
to disrupt the congress.
"It must be declared openly" says
the newspaper, "that there is danger
of the whole government apparatus
crumbling and the armisticc and peace
negotiations being broken off, on the
ground that no competent German
government exists and that all Ger
many will be occupied by Entente
troops" Freiheet, on the contrary,
declares the invasion of the congress
could be explained by the indignation
Of the soldiers and the counter rcvo-
lutionary activities by the officers of
certain troops.
The demonstration by the soldiers
was so in accord with the uttcrances
of Ledcbour, Barth and other radicals
at Tuesdays session as to suggest
more than coincidence.
