BRITISH SEEKING leader
CONTINUED From PAGE one)

rs
their own little "tin goes" and will
not adopt Lloyd George. What the
majority of the old liberals will do is
a puzzle. Although no longer in par
liament (he was overwhelmed in the
election just before Christmas) Her
bert H. Asquith is still the leader of a
bunch of Liberals who now politically
unimportant are contemptuously styl-
ed the ''Wee Frees" Asquith is a
dead letter. but he can still rob Lloyd
George of some supporters.
The conservatives are nominally
united under Andrew Bonar Law, but
Law apparently does not aspire to be
the man the country is advertising for.
He was only stop gap alternative
when elected to succeed Arthur James
Balfour in the party leadership in 1911
IA buffer between the irreconcilable
factions roofing for Austen Chamber
lain and Walter Hume Long respec-
lively.
Proved Himself Capable.
He has proved himsef a capable
and conscientious statesman. but he
lacks personal magnetism indispens-
able for a great party leader. The
remainder of the conservative leaders
may be eliminated from the contest,
Chamberlain and Long being relegat-
ed to the "have beens" and Balfour
desirous of retiring from political life.
on account OF his great age.
The only two serious rivals to Lloyd
George in the personality contest are
Winston S. Churchill, at present war
secretary, and Robert Smillie miners
leader and uncrowned king of British
labor Both have the magnetic gift,
and both will go far, according to the
prophets and close observers. IL he
had never taken over the war office
in the coalition government, Chur-
chill might have successfully chal-
lenged Lloyd George for the leader
ship of the combined liberal and labor
parties, but his handling of demobili-
Zation and the Russian expedition has
aroused bitter resentment among la
borites and section of the liberal
party. That churchill will be premier
of England some day is certain de-
clare most experts, but he will prob
ably have to lie low for bit.
SmiIIie Is Dark Horse.
Smillie is the dark horse" He is
not a new man, but his parliamentary
career has been brief and obscure, for
he has generally been defeated in ty-
pical Scotch labor constituencies by
his own countrymen, who neverthe-
less gave him full power to bargain
fol them industrially. Since he has
been president of the Miners Fedora
alton of Great Britain, he has been
easily the outstanding figure in the Ia
Dor world. The favorites then, for
prime minister are, David Lloyd
George, Winston Churchill and Robert
Smillie. 1t might be said that Smil-
lies party is obvious and ready made
the Labor Party, but that is not so,
for he had had curious sequence of
parliamentary defeats.
For Lloyd George and Churchill
there is billet on offer. A new or
ganization, the center party has arisen.
a combination of progressive liberals
and conservatives, and Lloyd George
and Churchill would appear to be the
natural leaders. Overtures have been.
made, bur although It Is said that
Churchill is willing, Lloyd George has
nothing to say. Doubtless they are
sizing up the situation and weighing
their prospects Of success

las at little village to eat, e
Tuesday we walked until $3.50 a. M,
when we took to the river and swan
for five hours downstream, taking 10
minutes rest four different times.
When we came to the rapids we de-
cided we must land and walk.
We landed. dried our clothes and
started over the maintains
Ate Food II Village.
l had little fever. We lay down
on mountain path and slept until 6
a. m, Wednesday. We saw smoke from
a village and headed In that direction.
We thought the village was just
around the corner from Candelaria.
We reached the village and got lots Of
food.
Then we hired Mexican with three
burros to take US to Candelaria. We
were ready to start when an armed
Mexican came UP and addressed the
Mexican we had employed. The armed
man spoke in Spanish. Then he left
hurriedly. sss
+ We began our Journey on burros
with our Mexican guide We soon were
overtaken by six armed bandits and
many townspeople All but two of the
bandits left us, but these two con-
tinued following US. After going
about forty five minutes the bandits
stopped us and told the. Mexican own
or of the burros to return to his
home. The Mexican objected. as we
were riding his burro. The bandits
then headed US up the valley to a
village where they made the. Mexican
drink.
Paid For Food.
I gave the one armed bandit leader
s2 and he arranged for food for us and
liquor for himself. The bandits took
lis on to a ranch where they got a
horse and mule for US to ride. This
was about p. m, Wednesday. We
rode until midnight Then we slept
until 1880 a. M, Thursday Resuming
our journey we continued in the
mountains all day Thursday and slept
in the mountains at night.
Friday afternoon about $50 the
bandits stopped the horses and said
they wanted to have q little chat with
us. The bandits told US to write the
messages saying ransom must be paid
for our release. The bandit leader
spoke English very well. He worked
on the railroads in Kansas and had
lost an arm and a leg in an accident,
he said.
The American Rescuer.
We stayed over night in the noun
tajns Saturday night, when the leader
returned from sending the messages.
The bandits foraged for food and We
had plenty to eat. We camped all day
Sunday. The leader left Sunday night
and returned Monday morning. He
said the money for our release would
be paid.
We left there at noon Monday and
then scamped until 9 p. m. Monday.
