RESIGNATION OF lloyd GEORGE
PREDICTED BY MANY after
alien BILL Amendment VOTE
Government Faces Serious Sit
uation as Result of Last
Nights Defeat in the House
of Commons.
BY ED l.. KEEN

United Press Staff Correspondent
London, Oct. 24.-Lloyd Georges
government faces a serious situation
as the result of last nights defeat in
the house of commons, according to
the opinion generally expressed by the
press today.
The question on which the govern
ment lost lS5 to 113 was "a minor one
having to do with an amendment to
the alien bill-but the impression pre-
vailed that the vote was an indica-
ton of parliaments attitude toward the
present cabinet.
ADJOURNMENT TAKEN.
As soon as the vote was announced,
Andrew Bonar Law, government
spokesman, obtained an adjournment
until Monday, to permit the cabinet to
decide upon its next move. Many Off
ciais and political experts professed to
believe tnat the resignation of Premier
Lloyd George was certain,
The amendment to the alien bill
would have changed the clause barring
all aliens from receiving British pilots
certificates to exclude the French. so
as not to conflict with the Anglo
French agreement of 1913. Unionists
and laborites united in defeating the
amendment. Even in case the cabinet
decides not TO resign enbloc, it was
believed that Short, as author of the
amendment, would retire.
LLOYD GEORGE DEFEATED.
IF the governments defeat is further
sustained, or its attempt at rehabilita-
ton inedaquate, Lloyd George must
resign" the Chronicle said today.
The king doubtless will entrust him
with formation of new ministry but
from whence will he derive his support?
1t was the coalition itself that brought
down the administration. Lloyd George
will be compelled to seek fresh author
ity at a general election.
This defeat alone is not sufficient
cause for resignation" in the opinion
of the Post but it indicates that
commons is disappointed regarding the
government. The defeat was due to
the governments obstinacy in disre-
garding national security"
The Post declared that many other
accidents were due to permitting for
eign pilots, particularly German pilots,
to attain familiarity with the British
coast
THE rebuke went far beyond the
question of admitting foreign pilots to
British waters" said the Mail

Many Russians Dead

LONDON. Aug. 3O.-There has been
severe lighting in the streets and pub

naval base near Petrograd, according
to dispatches received from Copen-
hagen. Bodies were seen lying in the
thoroughfares by Allied airmen, the

Bolshevik forces have abandoned the
town OF Bobruisk, eightye ight miles
southeast of Minsk, according to an
official statement issued at Soviet head
quarters at Moscow The statement
says the Bolsheviki have captured
Rylsk, thirty-two miles west-southwe st
Of Kursk.
Under the agreement between the
Petura government of Ukraine and
Poland the former renounces all claims
TO eastern Galicia. the Polish govern
ment undertakes not to enter territory
occupied by the Petlura troops, and
both governments will combine mill
tary operations against the Bolsheviki

out by the Soviet government at Mos

The same dispatch declares that all
nave been withdrawn from Nladivostok
and that in the Kherson region the
forces Of General Denikine are retiring
IN disorder. 1t points out that this re-
urement is important TO the Bolsheviki
because it strengthens the defence Of

Bolsheuiki Turning to

Expect to Find Fertile Field for
the Red Propaganda in
China. India and Afghqnistan

OMSK, Aug. 30.-According to a
Bolshevik wireless dispatch picked up
by the Intelligence Bureau of the ST.
berian General Staff, the Bolsheviki,
feeling that they have not succeeded in
Europe, intend to develop their propa-
ganda in an easterly direction, with
Asia as its special object.
The Siberian newspapers, comment
ing upon the dispatch, says such a
movement would have most serious
consequences for the world The
ground for Bolshevik propaganda in
the East is we'll prepared, the news
papers assert, for China since 1000 has
been in a state of unrest and the civil
strife between Southern and Northern
China could be used to advantage by
the Bolsheviki in their endeavor to in
cite the hundreds of millions of the
Chinese population.
According to the newspapers, the
Bolsheviki can also have great success
in India and Afghanistan, which at the
present time are in a state of serious
unrest.
Refugees from Yekaterinburg, gov
ernment of Perm, give details of the
Red terror in that city. More than
10000 people were killed in Yekaterin-
burg and the surrounding villages af-
ter the Bolshevik occupation, the refu-
gees say. The Hungarian and Chinese
detachments of the Red army were the
most cruel of all the Bolshevik forces.

and parts Of Poland. To this Hinden-
burg replied Hurry up"
On October 8, the day after the dis
patch of President Wilson's first reply,
council was held at the chancellery.
Ludendorff took the floor and made an
expose of the entire situation. His
speech, as given in the White Book,
was equivalent to an admission of de-
feat. To a series of questions as to
the military position in the West, Lu.
dendorff answered that the danger of
the enemy breaking through existed all
the time; that he was 10000 men short
for the defence Of his lines. and that the
army needed breathing spell. In an
swer to suggestion of "a levee en-
masse general call to the defence Of
the Fatherland) he said that it would
destroy more than Germany could
stand
Feared Collapse on Danube
Count Rodern expressed the fear
that the Danube front might collapse,
involving the stoppage of petrol sup

not last more than two months. Colo
mel Won Heye said that the day before

Next day Dr. Solf declared in council
that Hindenburg had answered his
question whether four days delay
would be dangerous with the words:

The report about Austria's collapse
on October 30 dissolved every doubt
that the catastrophe was near at hand.
A frantic exchange of dispatches shows
that Germany feared she might be at
tackled from the south by Entente
troops using the Austrian railways.
The final section of the documents,
covering the last four days, from No
vember 7 to II, testify to the general
weariness which had taken hold Of the
German generals and statesmen. The
dispatches breathe the universal desire
to accept anything, everything, the en-
envy might offer, and to be done with
the whole sorry business. The eight
word telegram of Won Hintze on No.
vember IL -"Armistice gone into effect
this morning at 11:55"-sounds almost
like q sigh of relief.
