UNREST IN GREAT BRITAIN
NEAR SERIOUS STAGE
Considered Possible Ii May Mean
Downfall of Lloyd George
Government.

dustrial unrest in Great Britain,
which has been seething ever since
the armistice, seems at the present
hour to have reached a point which
menaces the commerce of the coun-
try with at least temporary disaster.
1t is considered possible that it may
mean the downfall of the Lloyd
George government.
The strikes of the past month have
been serious enough, but they are
merely symptomatic of an epidemic
Of dissatisfaction, which appears to
prevail throughout the ranks of or.
ganized labor.
Half a million Lancashire cotton
operatives were idle for more than
three weeks. Two hundred thousand
Yorkshire miners have been on strik e
since July 20. The Liverpool dock
ers have paralyzed shipping there for
ships OF all sizes. The bakers have
decided to strike on Saturday and
now the London police are about to
go out on their second strike.
The worst movement of all from
the government standpoint is the
threat Of direct action by triple
alliance of railway men, miners and
transport workers. These powerful
unions are taking secret ballot 20
decide whether they shall use the
weapon of general strike to try to
enforce their political program of the
naturalization of mines and rail
ways, abolition of conscription and
withdrawal from all participation in
Russian affairs.
In these circumstances words OF
revolution and bolshevism crop up in
the newspapers and are used by con
servative men to describe the present
movement. Some of the newspapers
are asking where the money comes
from to finance all the propaganda
being put forth.
The government regards the police
strike as the most dangerous feature
of the prevalent unrest. 1t may prove
a critical test of the labor campaign.
The home secretary. +. Short has
declared that the government is firm
and will consider no compromise or
yielding to the policemen's demands
to have the status of an ordinary la
Dor union.
Lord Asqwith. formerly Sir George
| Ranken Asqwith has had more
experience than any man in England
in settling labor disputes. has re.

President Calls Ii Temporary
Supplement to League. For
Use in Emergency.
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
President Wilson Declares obi
CATION TO Rush to Aid of
France Only Partially Dis
charges Debt.

washington, July 31.-The special
treaty with France, promising i'm
mediate American aid to that repub-
lie in repelling any unprovoked at
tack by Germany, was sent to the SEN
ate Tuesday by President Wilson.
In his message urging ratification,
the president declared the promise a
temporary supplement" to the treaty
with Germany and the league of ma
tions covenant, designed to give
France protection in an emergency
without awaiting the advice of the
league to act" He pointed out that
similar promise had been made by
Great Britain. and said that by the
obligation the United States but par
tally discharged debt to France
which nothing can pay" in full.
The senate, where the presidents
failure to submit the treaty sooner
has been under repeated fire from Re-
publican members, received the mes
sage in open session and referred the
treaty without discussion to the fo~-
elSil relations committee.
There was no reference in the mes

was based on a clause of the treaty
requiring that il be Submitted to the
senate of the United States at the
same time as the treaty Of Versailles" ."
presented by the president on july

clause, however. saying that il was

subject of consideration at the same

now had been offered to examine TIE
Versailles treaty, it was opportunc

Departing from his custom of de-

treaty and his request for ratification

that this course be followed was made
by Chairman Lodge, of the foreign

Fighters Who Fell Are
Well Kept.
OPPOSES RETURN BODIES
At Least Baron D'EStOurnelleS
de Constant Says 1t Would Be
Unwise at This Time to At
tempt to Remove Them.

New York, July 31.-Less than
one-half of 1 per cent of the Ameri-
can soldiers who died on the battle
fields of France were buried uniden-
tihed, according to Col. Joseph S.
Heron. Cincinnati, commander OF the
$4,000 troops who inferred the fallen
Americans and who has returned
here. The men under Colonel Her
ron's command removed the dead
p from the temporary graves dug for
them under fire or at night on the
field where they fell and laid them
to rest in large concentration ceme-
teries
Each cemetery is surrounded by a
painted fence and the grass on the
graves is kept green and cared for uy
detachment of soldiers left on duty
as caretakers. The largest graveyard
is at Romagne. where lie $4,000
Americans who died in the Argonne
and Meuse sectors, and the next larg-
est is at Thiacourt, where 4,300 sol
diers who fought at ST. Mihiel and
Toul are buried.
I'VE did our work" said Colonel
Heron, "in accordance with the ex-
pressed wishes Of the men of the A
y. F.. The remark most frequently
heard when the business of getting
Killed was spoken of was the hope
that II the fellow talking got it. he
would be buried with the others OF

The advisability of bringing the
American dead back from France was
questioned today by Baron D'Estour-

French senate, who sailed for France
after brief visit TO this country.

said. I'VE French have a great re-

Even If He Won.

lect nominee for the unexpired term
resignation of Congressman A. r
Lever, former Governor Cole Blease,
in lengthy statement unaqualifiedly
announces as candidate for congress

der the rules OF the democratic party
that previous elections have been cor
rupted and the votes stolen. and that
he could not be expected to be de-
clared the nominee by the present
executive committee, even If he won.
His statement is replete with various
ly reiterated charges that he was de-

by Governor Manning Stating that

Relative to his position on the
world war" the former governor
said: Il was opposed to the war, just
temporarily suspended. and have no
apology or excuse therefor Hear the
statements being made by our boys
that went over to fight for humanity
and democracy and let every man in
this state talk TO some of the boys as

ment they received from their own as
well as other folks while over thar.
