Premier Lloyd George
is Sure to be Returned
By Popular Selection

voiced a com prehensive program FOR
reconstruction.
In districts where unionist mem
bers are certain of being returned
over the labor party candidates the
coalition liberals are not putting uD
a candidate. having decided TO vote
for the unionist candidate. In dis
tricts where the unionist are are
weak, but the coalition liberal IS
strong. the unionists have agreed to
throw their support to the liberal
candidate.
How Parties line Up.
The present lineup Of parties in
the house OF commons is as fol-
lows: Liberals. ESQ; unionists, 285;
nationalists. Il: labor, SO: indepen-
dent nationalists, nine; independent,
eight; one seat vacant, one. Total,
$40.
It would require an English poll
tician-a man who makes his living
at the game which is regarded over
here as one Of the top high pro-
LESSONS which is held in great es-
teem-to point out all the nice diff
ferences between the unionists and
liberals, for they seem to stand for
the same things. There are free
trade liberals and free trade union
lists, tariff unionists and tariff lib
erals, liberals and unionists who be-
lieve in home rule for Ireland and
those who don't, conservative lib
erals and moss-grOwn uniOnists. The
liberals say they are liberal in be-
lief and call the unionists cOnser-
natives, and the unionists retaliate
in kind The nationalists are those
who believe in home rule for Ire
land The labor party has for years
been the party which has initiated
progressive measures of social re-
form.

METHODISTS WORKING

War Tenms Are Organized Among o.

y NJ. G. a.. in order that there will
be no duplication OF effort. Through
It's 2'.ooo churches In the United States
war work teams have been organized
that stand ready to cooperate with

The Rev. John c. Benson. executive
secretary of the National War Council
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
stated that the fundamental aims of
the council were twofold. First" he
government; that is, we show the gov
eminent by actual accomplishment
what Methodism does patriotically.
For instance, when the call came for
field glasses this appeal was empha-
sized TO our $4,000 churches, who re-
spondcd by forwarding field glasses to
tho Navy Department. Secondly, we
interpret the government to Method
ism, by explaining the war problems
OF the government to our people, urg-
ing need for immediate co-operatton
and by distributing all information
helpful to the government to help win
the war. The aim OF Methodism is not
to organize new agencies. but to
strengthen those already existing. that
they may be most efficient"
In the communities adjacent to the
camps and cantonments special women
workers have been placed on duty to
direct the welfare work among the
young women of the community where
the need is recognized. Every Metho.
dist church VIII hold a patriotic rally
sometime during the month OF May at
which time wal problems will be dis
cussed and the church's service flag
