OF the avenue. a strong force OF ponce
from the Third precinct met this mob just
before they reached their detectives, and
1t was turned back with few casualties.
The iron hand Of Federal military au =
thOrity was laid upon the National Capital
Tuesday night to smother the blaze Of race
hatred which had made Washington a
conference between President Wilson and
Secretary of War Baker over the deplorabie
conditions in the capital Of the nation,
approximately 1000 Federal troops of
various arms of the service we're thrown
into the capital and Maj. Gen. W. G.
Ham, fresh from the command of the 32d
Division overseas, was given full authority
over the service men.
Despite the stern repressive measures Of
the military authorities, the smouldering
race feeling blazed into action Tuesday
night here and there throughout the city.
In a momentary flare Of race hatred one
Home Defense League officer was killed
and another was fatally hurt. This brought
the total death list of the race disturbances
to date up to five. Scores Of shooting and
minor clashes were reported and the police
and military forces rounded up numbers
of negroes and whites on charges of carry
ing concealed weapons.
An unidentified negro alighting from
street car at Ninth and M streets north
west, shortly after 10 O'Clock Tuesday
night, shot and instantly killed Isaac b.
Halbfinger, paperhaneer, and seriously

Both men were taken up by pedestrians

a leader in English politics came to an end The Lloyd George government is now going through a series of recurring crises but there is this diffirence, that whatever happens to the Lloyd George government of today, Lloyd George him self will remain force to be reckoned with and may in the end emerge as the leader of the party which upsets his gov ernment.
 The Prime Minister has recently scored another great personal triumph in silenc- ing the opposition which had grown up during his absence at the peace confer ence in Paris and incidentally in de- claring openly that it was fomented by Lord Northcliffe, whose quarrel with him has been matter of common gos- sip in London political circles for some months past. He has returned to Paris assured, for a time at least, of the solid support of Parliament and it is unlikely that another crisis will arise until the peace is settled and Lloyd George is home again to face his enemies.
 The situation, however, is different from that which confronted Mir. Asquith before his fall from power Asquith was the leader of a compact Liberal party and although the head of coalition government, the liberals. the men of his own political faith, formed the backbone of his party. Lloyd George is also the head of a coalition government, but he is nominally a liberal, while the back bone of his following is composed of conservatives, men who differ from him in all matters of domestic politics, and in fact in everything but his policy of winning the war and securing a strong peace. The testing time will come when
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-22

after peace is established the Prime Minister tries to carry out the programme of social reform to which he is commit ted and on the execution of which his future political career depends
 No one who knows Lloyd George ex- poets that he will not meet the crisis boldly when it comes. A master of the arts of politics he is noted for his cour- age and while he is willing to compro- mise when by compromise he can win his point, he never lrssitates to fight when that seems to be the best course. /
 There probably never has been in any Parliament situation quite like that which now exists in the Mother of Par liaments. The present government has majority so sweeping that when it was selected the political pundits prophe- sled for it long period of unbroken power. But already that majority has begun to disintegrate. It was composed Of the most divergent elements. The greater bulk of the government majority was Tory and it was pledged to the support of a radical prime minister. It also contained many liberals, few la bor men and few out and out socialists who were willing to sink their economic and social views until the war was won and strong peace attained. When that is done the break up is bound to come and every political observer now believes that it cannot come too soon after the peace to suit MT. Lloyd George, who very clearly realizes that he must be unfettered to carry out his social pro- gramme
 There was a hint of this situation a few days ago when Lloyd George replied to the Tories who sent a telegram to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-22

Paris voicing their discontent with the peace conference delays, that if they wanted a general election they could have it. That threat was repeated in his great speech in Parliament, in which he told the members that if they were not satisfied with the work of their delegates in Paris they could send other men, As matter of fact, it is believed that Lloyd George has nothing now to fear from general election, especially from an electorate increased and broadened as the British electorate will be when it goes to the polls again. Although it had legally been increased and broadened at the last election. most of the new cleo tors were disfranchised. The men were ir the army and the women had not had time to organize efficiently. That will all he changed the next time and Lloyd George will have the full benefit of the new democratic vote. If that vote were to be taken tomorrow there is nc doubt that he would be returned to power, with a decreased majority per haps, but with a much more homogen- eous and sympathetic party than that with which he now has to deal. And Lloyd George, consummate politician that he is, knows that ana is therefore quite unalarmed by the threats of the Tories in his present following.
 It is extremely doubtful that the Tories could retain anything like their present strength. The younger men who are in that party are keen on social reform and while they call themselves conserva- tives are intellectually and spiritually much more akin to Lloyd George than to Lord I.ansdowne for instance In an election fought on domestic policy one would not be surprised to find conserva- tives like Major Astor and Lord Robert Cecil to mention only the ablest of the younger men ranging themselves with Lloyd George against their former party associates.
 Keen political observers say that while the labels may last for sometime the old party divisions in England are dead. What seems to be emerging is a strong centre party composed of the best ele- ments of both the old parties, and with a strong programme of social reform. The logical leader for that party is Lloyd George. At either end there will be rumps. a radical labor party at one
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-22

end and an old-fashioned Tory party at the other.
 A good many peopie here have been expecting great things from the labor party, but so far 1t has not produced any men of outstanding ability either as pol fticians or administrators, The two cleverest men whom it has produced Snowden and Macdonald, damned them selves by their war l,oIicy and are now rot even in Parliament. Arthur Hen ] derson, the nominal leader today is a man of distinctly mediocre ability, and the other leaders are just fairly good trade Sunion administrators and nothing more. The few men 1t has attracted from the old parties are disappointed politicians of the second or third class like Sir Leo Chiozza Money and Col Jo- siah Wedgewood, who can make no ap- peal to the great British working class
