British Search
for New Leader
(By United Press.)

LONDON. (By Mail. 1.-THE war
has proved a fatal melting pot to
many world institutions, but nowhere
has its effects been more marked than
in British politics. America and the
rest of the world would do well to
watch closely the rapidly changing
aspects of the situaslon, for all the
old parties are being made over, many
favorite policies are being scrapped.
and many of the old leaders jettison-
ed, having failed to test true in the
fire of war and reconstruction.
British politicians and the voters
are now searching for three things:
A MAN-Wanted by the old par
ties as a leader.
A PARTY-Wanted by several self
styled "men."
A POLICY-Wanted by the parties,
the would-be men, and the general
public. And here is where the rest
of the world becomes interested, for
it is an on-looker.
The number of possible candidates
for the first job is rema kab.y small.
The average citizen would tel you,
most likely, that there is only one
David Lloyd George, the "little
Welsh wizard" who received such an
extraordinary national welcome on
his return from the conference table
at Paris. But Lloyd George would
be the first to admit that he is no
stranger to the other side of political
fame, and for some years before the
war he was probably the most bitter
" cursed man in England. Nineteen
years ago he had to flee for his life,
disguised in a policoman's uniform,
to escape patriotic" mob who re-
scented his championship of the Boer
farmers with whom Great Britain
was then at war.
Lloyd George is the one outstand-
ing character in British political life
today, and by sheer hard work, flashes
of intutive genius ana personal mag
netism he has lined up practically the
whole country behind him.
But what he needs is a party. For
merly leader of the radical wing OF
the Liberal party, he automatically
succeeded H. H. Asquith in the party
favor, when the latter was compelled
to resign the premiership, and the
coalition government was formed by
Lloyd George in 1916. The coalition
has served its purpose and like mos
such temporary expedients shows
signs of early disruption. Who il
Lloyd George going to lead then? il
the question agitating politicians.
The old Liberal and Conservative
parties have suffered too many cas-
ualties to be able to set up in bust
ness again. The Conservatives have
their own little "tin gods" and will
adopt Lloyd George. What the ma
iority of the old Liberals will do is {
puzzle. Although no longer in Par

Hun Prisoners
Coming Home
By CARL D. GRoAT.

(OnlUeu ITcSS OtaH correspondence
BERLIN. (By MaiI.)-Germany
is preparing for the homecoming of
thousands of its prisoners. While
their return will probably inflict on
the labor market great new burden,
Germany hasn't reckoned that in the
reckoning, and just now is jubilant
over the fact that they are soon to
be released.
Their return to the fatherland will
be accomplished with customary Ger
man methodical pans. A complete
reception machinery has already been
created. A number of stations for
delivery in German territory have
been erected, and there the home
corners will be officially greeted.
From these delivery stations, the
prisoners will pass to transfer camps,
where they will remain three or four
days while they receive military dis
charges and are examined to ascer-
tain whether they are in need of
hospital attention.
Each man will receive SO marks
cash and an additional sum which will
permit him to have an eight weeks
vacation. From the transfer camps
the men will be distributed to stations,
nearest their homes. Provision has
been made to furnish all with tobacco,
cigars and cigarettes.
AS for their future, the government
has devised means whereby temporary
aid can be furnished each prisoner if
he cannot at once find work, but ev-
cry effort will be made to assist the
men to places in the industrial struc-
ture.
Rehabilitation of what is left of
the German army will release Al ,O00,-
900 meters of cloth, to say nothing
of hundreds OF thousands Of pairs of
shoes. As a result, the government
expects that there will be material
decrease in the price of clothes and
shoes.
It proposes to distribute the cloth
and shoes, which had been stored up
against further prosecution OF the
war, at low prices to deserving fam
lilies. Rates will be made according
to the size of the family.
Out of the sordid annals of the Der,
lin criminal courts came today the
story of "Black Hand" persecution
which had its inception in the recent
anti-Semitic agitation here.
Karl Rietze, recently returned from
Russian prison camp, was accused
of trying to extort several hundred
thousand marks from two Jewish mer
chants under threat of death.
Rietze told the court he was at
loss to know why he had sent tht
merchants "Black Hand" letters, say
ing they must deliver packets of mon
ey at stipulated places or suffer thu

consequences. But, he did plead tina
his mind had been affected by anti
semitic propaganda. He had read
number of the program phamplets
and then had gone to the place of pub
'ication, where about twenty person
were congregated.
There the suggestion was made tina
the Jews should be oppressed, just a
in Russia, and that money should b.
continue the propaganda work.
Rietze said that he supposed thl
= suggestion had been the inspiration
for his own deed, for ne at once Sc

ILLNESS IN JURY
DELAYING LONG
MURDER TRIAL.
One of the Twelve Segregated
in Hospital
TWO MORE HAVE FLU
Judge F. M. Butler, Too, Suffering
with Severe Cold and Court
Adlourns to Friday
TWO MORE HAVE FLU

Montpelier, Oct. 14-For tn second
time during the trial of George A.
Long, charged in Washington County
court with numbering Mrs. Lucina c.
Broadwell, an adjournment has been
forced owing to the sickness of a jury
man. Thomas j. Ferris, so of More
town was taken to the hospital this
afternoon suffering with hard cold.
His temperature was 104 degrees and
his pulse 115 when a physician was
called In addition to this, two other
jurymen are i'll tonight, John w. Alex
ander of Middlesex and Charles w.
Cooling of East Montpelier, both of
whom have symptoms of influenza,
while Judge f. NJ. Butler showed indi
cations of hard cold during the day,
Court was adjourned until Friday
morning
Mr. Ferris illness was such that it
was necessary to segregate him from
the rest of the jury and after con-
ference between the attorneys and
the court, he was taken to the hospi-
tai j. c. Moody clerk of the court,
administered the oath as deputy sher-
iff to four of the nurses at the hospi-
tai. Mr.. Ferris wife will be allowed
to see him and talk with him but she
must not talk about the case.
The most important evidence intro
duced today was that given by George
A. Rising, which if supported by other
evidence, will eliminate Harry Broad
we'll from any connection relative TO
the cause of his wife's death. Mr.
Rising was constantly with Mr.. Broad
well on May from O'Clock in the
evening until 2:45 o'clock the next
morning. After they had received
their pay from their employees and
had cashed their checks, they occupi-
ed the night at different places where
they received food and liquor.
The respondent, Long is standing
the strain of the trial with apparently
no anxiety as to the outcome. While
he listens with a good deal Of interest
to the testimony given by the differ
ent witnesses it is more like that Of
a spectator than by man whose life
is in jeopardy.
He does not discuss the case while
in court to any extent with his attor-
neys but has a conference during the
recess with them each day.
