GEORGE
 WINS SWEEPING ENGLISH VICTORY
Asquith Badly Beaten-Coa-
 linionists Undefeated - Pacifists Routed - Sim Feiners Capture Ireland Labor Party Disappointed

LONDON. Dee. 2S.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) The broad features Of the election results announced today are the sweeping triumph of the Lloyd George coalition. the complete rout of the Asquithians. the pacifists and the women candidates, and, perhaps most significant of all, the victory of the Sim Feiners all along the line.
 That the coalition government would be victorious had been a foregone con- clusion, despite the rumbhngs of ru- mors between the polling and the counting of the votes. that labor would make an unexpected showing. But that David Lloyd George would com mand, completely, an overwhelming ma ajority in the new house, in the pro- portion of almost five to one. had never been contemplated, even by the most sanguine coalitionists. And since coaH- tion as it now operates is distinctly more conservative than. liberal in its composition and tendencies. this result of the first election under the extended franchise. and with the participation of millions of women voters, is most suggestive.
 Premier Lloyd George, with only four results yet to be announced. has 519 seats for his coalition, out of a mem bership of 707. The Sim Feiners have elected 70 members and labor approXi- mately 15.
 Only One Woman Wins
 Of 14 women candidates, only one will be entitled to sit in the house of commons, namely a Sim Feiners, Countess Markiewicz, who was elected for St Patrick's division of Dublin city. But, as the Sim Feiners refuse to sit at Westminster. the house of commons will, as hitherto, be com posed entirely of males.
 All the other women candidates, in cluding many of the foremost in the women's movements, were rejected by theisconstituencies Christabel Plank hurst came the nearest of these to be- ing elected. being defeated only by a narrow majority by a laborite.
 The Sim Feiners. as expected, not only swept Ireland, but gained their seats with enormous majorities, leav- ing the nationalist representation in the new parliament bare seven mem bership. John Dillon, the nationalist leader. was defeated by r.. De Valera, Sim Feiner. for East Mayo. by a ma iority of over 1000. Joseph Devlin, however defeated De Valera for the West Belfast seat. De Valera also was candidate in the Southdown constit- uency.
 Few Votes Poled
 A prominent feature of the polling revealed by the count, is the compara tive smallness of the polls compared with the registered number of electors No figures are available yet, as to what extent the army and navy have voted. It should also be noted that the defeat of the Asquithians. especially the former ministers. in most cases can be attributed in part to split votes in three -cornered constituencies. Not only has no coalition minister been defeated, but most of them were reelected by extraordinary ma jorities For instance Premier Lloyd Georges majority is about 12.000; Winston Churchill's 15,000 and Andrew BonaI 1 laws l3.000.
 ! Majorities well over 10000 were quite ! common among the coalitionists. Or l the other hand, the pacifists were al most in every case ignominously de feated by heavy votes. The rejected | candidates in this group included Philip Snowdep. James Ramsay Mac i Donald, William C. Anderson. 0abol member for Attsrcliffe division O | Sheffield), Arthur Henderson, the la l bor leaders Robert l.. Outhwaite Liberal for Hanley), Frederick W 1 Jowett, 0abor member for West Brad ] ford), George Lansbury former SO cialist member of the Bow and Brom ley division of Tower Hamled) ant
