LLOYD GEORGE PARTY WINS.
Overwhelming Majority In the New
House of Almost Five To One.

London.-The broad features of the
election results announced are the
sweeping triumph of the Lloyd George
coalition, the complete rout of the AS
quithians, the pacifists and women
candidates. and, perhaps most signifi-
cant of all, the victory of the Sinn
Feiners all along the line.
That the coalition government would
be victorious had been foregone con-
clusion, despite the rumblings of ru-
NOR between the polling and the count
ing of votes that labor would make an
unexpected showing. But that David
Lloyd George would command COM
pletely an overwhelming majority in
the new house in the proportion of al
most five to one had never been con-
templated even by the most sanguine
coalitionists.

sketching the lives of the Wright

Let us honor Wilbur Wright's mem

to sink the warships surrendered by

Warsaw-A Polish official report
the arrival of Ignace Jan Paderewski,
who was on his way here, says the
trouble began when allied and Amer.
lean flags were hoisted over the city
hall
The Germans demanded that the
flags be hauled down. The Poles re
fused to acquiesce, whereupon the
Germans brought up machine guns and
began firing in the streets, driving
back the crowds and dispensing the
Polish troops.
Finally the German officials took
down the flags. Meanwhile the Poles
reassembled and began to return the
German fire. The fighting continued
from o'clock in the afternoon until
o'clock.
The Germans provoked another Incl.
dent by trying to prevent Paderewski
from going about the streets. They
called on the British colonel, Wade,
and told him that if Paderewski was
permitted to go about it would be the
cause of trouble between the Polish
and German populations. Col. Wade
made no answer. He merely turned
his back on the Germans and got into
a motor car with Paderewski. The ar
rival of Paderewski and British and
American officers has created much
enthusiasm here. The hope is express
ed that their arrival will stamp out
Bolshevism and prevent anticipated
trouble in WaTsaw.A--4

HARVARD ELEVEN

Question Of Officials and Num-
boring Players for Oregon
Game Unsettled
ALL SEATS ARE SOL D

Pasadena. Calf, Dec. 26.--The ar
rival today of the Harvard football team
which is to meet the University of Ore
gon eleven on New Years Day in
creased interest in the choice Of off =.
cials for the game. Although the names
OF a number of eastern and western men
have been mentioned. no announcement
or the selection of officials is expected
before tomorrow.
The matter of whether the players
shall wear identifying numbers on the
neld is also unsettled During the last
season the Oregon team carried the
numbers in every game, but the Har-
ward management has not yet announced
whether the system will be adopted.
:. With interest almost equal to that
displayed in the arrival Of the Har-
ward team, enthusiasts who have not yet
obtained tickets of admission followed
the quest of the football committee of
the Pasadena Tournament of Roses As
soeiation for nails. All of the 1000
seats III Tournament Park have been
sold, but more will be erected IL the
committee can obtain the necessary
nails, of which there has been a scar

At the finish the Philadelphian was a

returned a winner by shade.

Referee Joe Griffo really should be
credited with the victory in the bout
between Johnny Murray, of New York,
and Joey Fox, of England. The official
worked harder than either of the boxers,
who put on a rough and tumble con-
test, mostly by the Englishman. Muir

shape and overtime, thereby southpaw

All hope of Germantown tying Gam

fooie last evening when the suburban

against SIX.
Both clubs were minus one Of their

absence was not felt nearly SO much as
that of Mephnn, for Billy Miller played
as good ball as Beckman would
had he been here. Garry Schmeelli es-
