Britain Anxious to Learn
Councils Decision on
Unity of Command
Lloyd George
Delays Speech
People Opposed to Intrust-
ing Forces to Foreign
Officer
[Staf C0rrespondencc]


LONDON, Feb. 4.-AnnOuncement was
made this evening that Lloyd George
was unlikely to make a statement tc
Parliament before it's adjournment. II
ic intimated that he will reserve his re-
view of the military and political situa.
ton until the opening Of the new scs-
sion.
The announcement will disappoint
many, as much curiosity has been
aroused by the comments of the Paris
PRESS regarding the steps taken at the
Versailles conference, especially the
strong emphasis placed on the name of
General Foch at every mention of unity
Of command. This curiosity is not con-
fined to any one section Of the press,
but is general.
The question of the extent to which
the authority of the military confer
ence has been extended is second in
interest here only to the decision
reached in respect to the speeches of
Hertling and Czernin. Most Brtons
are extremely cautious in placing the
fate of their armies in any hands but
those of the British leaders. and the
slightest hint Of any change arouses
their suspicious. That's why there is
SO much interest in hearing the Pre-
mier's explanation of the Versailles
decisions.
Too Busy to Make Speech
The explanation is made that Lloyd
George was confronted with so much
pressing business, notably meeting of
tho delegates to the Irish convention
and an attempt to settle the dispute
with the Amalgamated Engineers So
cicty that he had to abandon his orig
n +o 4 O
House of Commons tomorrow.
Parliament will be prorogued either
Tomorrow or Wednesday. Thus the
Premicr's formal statement will be
postponed until the reassembling about
a fortnight hence. 1t is understood,
however, that he will be present in the
House tomorrow to answer questions,
therefore something :nay be elected
about the war conference, as numerous
members are keen to ascertain the eX-
act meaning of the statement that the
scope Of the Supreme War Council has
been extended.
Judging from the anti-government
press, there is not entire satisfaction
here with the attitude of the confer
ence toward the enemy statesmen. and
some doubt is expressed as to the wis
dom Of their move.
Lloyd George in Labor Mix-Up
Lloyd George has thrown himself
into the labor mix-up, and this un-
doubtedly accounts for the postpone.
ment Of his review Of the military
situation. The labor muddle demands
Immediate attention and an early solu-
tion to prevent serious situation
from resulting.
The whole political situation here
and in the enemy countries is in fluid
state, and it is impossible to draw any
conclusions. The effects of the Ver-
sailles decisions upon labor here are
as difficult to determine as the effects
on labor in enemy countries.

The Great War-1285th Day
Allies Hold Upper Hand
On West Front, Says Baker
Have Preponderance of Men and Guns Despite German
Transfers From Russian Front, He Says-Explains
Enemy Spread Reports He Was Strongest

WASHINGTON. Feb ALI reports
to the War Department indicate that
the Allies still hold very apprcciable
numerical superiority both in men and
guns on the Western front, despite the
heavy German concentration there since
the detection of Russia.
Secretary Bakers weekly war review
to-day made this announcement and, in
commenting later, Mr.. Baker said it
represented the best Judgment of the
all sources.
The review warns the country that
"the world has been flooded" with re-
ports of internal unrest in Germany,
which must not be allowed "to affect
the effectiveness or speed of our own
preparations"
Reviewing operations for the week
ended February 2, Secretary Baker
says:
american troops, which haye now
completed their training, arc occupying
| portion of the actual battle front.
The operations in which our troops
have so far been engaged were Of a
minor character
American Patrols Active
"On January so the Germans attempt

line for purposes of Identification
Under cover of heavy mist the enemy
was able to reach our advanced posi-
tions. A short brush ensued and the
raiders were compelled to withdraw il
haste, after inficting slight casualties.
"Two days later the enemy apparent
ly attempted another reconnoitring
thrust, But was dispersed before any
headway could be made.
"Our patrols have been active in No
Mans Land and our scouts have made
themselves familiar with the details
of the hostile position opposite them.
"Another event of Importance took
place in France. The Inter-Allied Su-
preme War Council met at Versailles,

Ships Under u. S. Flag
Condemned asGerrnan
British Prize Court Deems
kankakee, Hooking and
Cenesee Enemy Craft

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The prize court
has condemned the steamers Kankakee,
Hooking and Genesee, owned by the
American Transatlantic Company
which were seized in 1915, while flying
the American flag.
The president of the court con.
oemned the vessels on the ground that
though nominally American owned
they were really German owned and
that the claimant company was only a
covering name for Hugg SHINES, d.
rector of the German Woermann Ship
ping Company.
The steamship Hooking was seized by
british warship in October 1915, and
sent to Halifax. She mad previously
been the Danish steamer Gronland. and
was recently changed to American reg
istry.
The Genesee was changed from Dan.
lth to American registry in August
1915, and was seized in November anI
taken into st. Lucia.
The kankakee, another of the Amer
ican ships suspected by the British OF
being controlled by German capital
was seized by British cruiser off the
South American coast in November
1915.
The American Transatlantic Com
p&ny protested to the Washington gov
crnment, and the Washington govern
ment, on carrying the matter to thu
british government, was informed tha
the vessels would be held pending the
prize court decision.
In March, 1915, an eleventh hour set
tlement out Of court Of these cases wa,
expected. but the British government
about the same time decided to brinf
the issue to trial, the government con
tending that the vessels were owned b,
the German, Hugo SHINES, and that i
was in possession of strong evidence
against the three ships.

'Volkszeitung' Expects
German Revolution

Under the heading "Germany's Pro-
letariat Is Learning" the New York
"Volkszeitung" prints the following ed
itorial:
The strike movement in Germany is
IN the course of breaking down. How
ever contradictory the reports that
reach US on the internal political situa-
ton, they all admit the one conclusion
-1or the time being the great German
revolt has come to naught.
ANY doubt as to the stand of
Scheidemann and his followers has
been removed by their dupicity in
attempting in a time of grave crisis
to strengthen their own position bv
helping drive the working people back
into the slavery Of the capitalists. No
future uprising can be conducted with
their aid; instead it mast be direct
ed against them"
but of one thing we are certain,
namely, that this first great mass ac-
tion Of the German prolctariat follow
ing so closely upon the military and
naval uprisings, will very soon be re-
peated, and repeated often until the
final victory is won. = Even be-
fore the war comes to an end the revo-
luton in Germany will be an accom-
plished fact.
The strike movement of last week
VIII prove good instructor of the Ger
man laborng classes, and this in two
different ways. They will learn from it
that the German social democracy and
the trades unions have in the course of
the three and half years of the war
developed into a conscious tool of the
ruling. classes. And they will learn
that they are now thrown on their own
resources, that they cannot expect any
aid from the bourgeoisie.
mo workingman conscious of his
class position will attach Importance to
the revolutionary speeches of Scheido
mann and company. Since the disas-
trous days OF 1914 these gentlemen
have done so many disgraceful things
that it will require sober acts rather
than mere words to restore public con-
fdence in them"

Scientists Ask Hoover
To Taste Whale Meat

Thirty members of the American Mu-

is as good as beef and that $4,000 900
pounds of 1.-THE product of more than
1000 whales captured annually on the
Pacific Coast-are used only as fer
tilzer. He says whale meat could be
sold in New York for 12i1a cents a
pound.
Roy Chapman Andrews, curator of
mammals at the museum, has spent
eight years studying whales, and he

good food.
