DECLARES PREMIER.
ADDRESSES LABOR DELEGATES
URGING NEED OF RAISING
MORE MEN FOR ARMY.
Democracy Can Not Survive Unless lts
Adherents Are Willing to Die for
It, Declares Head of Brit
ish Government.

LOndon.-Premier Lloyd George adj
dressing the labor delegates on Janu-
airy IS, said no man standing on the
watchtower could deny the urgency of
the need for raising more men. The
prime minister said no democracy has
ever long survived the failure of its adj
herents to be ready to die for it.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that he and
President Wilson without previous con-
sultation-there was no opportunity
had laid down substantially the same
program of demands for the termina-
ton of the war.
There was no man willing to make
peace without complete restoration of
Belgium and reparation," the premier
said. From Germany there had been
but one answer, re added, "and it came
from Won Tirpitz' soul-never
"Our channel ports are not far from
the fighting line and unless we are pre-
pared to stand up to the people who
are dominating Germany, Britain, Brit
ish democracy, French democracy and.
the democracy of Europe will be at the
iutICg Vi lle MOST cruel military du-
tocracy the world has ever seen"
Mr.. Lloyd George said that his and
President Wilson's war aims had been
acclaimed throughout the entente coun-
tries. There had been hardly a voice
of criticism save from few who
wished he had made more extreme de-
mands.
The premier said that Germany had
answered 'never" to his demand for a
of the wrong of Alsace
Lorraine, and had declared that Ger
many would go on until Mesopotamia
md Palestine were restored to the
tyranny of the Turks. No single war

KERENSKY FACTION
CONTROL ASSEMBLY
6oLSHEVIkI MEMBERS MEET DE-
FEAT AND WITHDRAW FROM
CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY.
Next Step of Leninists May Be an At
tempt to Assert Their Supreme
Control of Affairs, and Fac
tionsI Fighting May Result.

LondOn.--The Bolshevist members
Of the constituent assembly and those
belonging TO the left wing of the so
cial-revolutionists Withdrew from the
constituent assembly in Petrograd at
its first meeting according to Rus
sian wireless report of the situation re-
ceived Saturday.
This action appears to indicate u
split between the Boisheviki and the
majority social-revolutionists, the
break occurring after the election Of
the majority social-revolutionist can
didate for chairman of the assembly.
The Russian situation apparently is
entering new phase. The Bolsheviki
having Withdrawn from the constituent
assembly, their next step probably will
be an attempt to assert their supreme
control of affairs. They may dissolve
the assembly forcibly or reorganize it
to give themselves the mastery.
The next report from Petrograd
may tell of more fighting among the
factions.
One report has it that the constitu-
ent assembly has been dissolved by the
Bolshevist authorities. Sailor guards
closed the assembly at IA. m. Sunday
and decree of dissolution was is
sued during the day, the official state
ment says.
On the first test OF strength the
Bolsheviki were defeated by the social
revolutionists. NJ Tchernoff, minister
of agriculture in the Kerensky govern
ment, and the nominee of the social
revolutionists of the right, for chair
man of the assembly, was elected by
vote of pa to Isl. The candidate of
the Bolsheviki was Maria Spridonovo,
long prominent revolutionist who was
released from exile in Siberia after the |
overthrow of the ROmanoffs.
The threatened demonstrations |
against Bolshevist control of the open
ing session of the assembly We're con-
fined to parades of small groups of |
men and women. These groups were
of well-dressed people, ex-
cept in one instance, where there was
Il larger number of soldiers and peas
ants.
AT corner near the American EN-
bassy this group was fired upon and
dispersed by the red guards. Five per-
sons were killed and dozen wounded.

Mccoy. viii celebrate his 45th birth
day today. The former Hoosier
middleweight can still give occasional
flashes Of the form which made him
one OF the cleverest fighters in the
world when he was in his prime.
Norman Selby was born Oct. 16.
1873. in a Hoosier villege about 80
miles from Indianapolis. As a lad he
was afflicted with the wanderlust,
and beat his way over a good part Of
America. His first real battle was
pulled off in Indianapolis in 1890,
when the Kid. who had become q
Jack of all trades. was working as
waiter in restaurant. The kids en-
ployer was an expugilist, and his
place was a sporting resort, with
boxing ring in connection. One day
young Selby got into a dispute with
another waiter. and the boss ordered
the turbulent lads TO wait until even
ing to settle their quarrel, when they
could put on the gloves in the ring

His employer was so pleased with his
showing that he gave the Kid his
start in the boxing game. IN 1898 he
got a job as assistant cook in Bob
FitzsimmOn's training camp. and
without letting it be known that he
was a professional boxer. he watched
Bob at work and finally got a trial
as sparriug partner. Mccoy was then
little more than a lightweight. and
he took lot OF hard knocks from the
