on British lines between North Amer
lean ports and England and France will

attended the northern temperance con-

I'VE have not the slightest intention
Of interfering in British affairs" said
Mr.. Johnson. I'VE will not take any
part whatever in the British elections.
What I am doing. and what 1 expect to
do In the future. Is merely to explain
the activities in America against drink
and tell the people why prohibition was
brought about and what Its results will
be. The British people are under no
obligations TO adopt the same policy
unless they choose to do so.
"All this Is in the direction of pro-
noting friendly relations between the
countries and along the line of the work

urgent invitation of British dry organi-
cations to tell the story Of prohibition

BRITISH CONDEMN
PREMIER'S SPEECH
Failure to Announce Check on
Expenditures Proves
Disappointing.
LABORITEs UP IN ARMS
Limited Endorsement Of Mine
Naturalization Not to
Their Liking.

LONDON. Aug. 1s.-The House OF Com
mons, which listened yesterday to Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges declaration of the
Governments policies on many British
problems, took a recess to-day until
October 22.
The country has before II now the
three principal conclusions which Mr..
Lloyd George told the House yesterday
had been reached by the Government
These were the abandonment on Sep
TENDER 1 Of the present system Of
licensing, which Is to be replaced by
measures to prevent dumping; the
declaration that tho Government plans
limited control OF the coal industry, CIV
ing the miners a share in controlling
mining policies; and the announcement
that the Government will recommend
a Joint Industrial council of employers
and employees and provide for a forty
eight hour week and living wages in
virtually every industry.
disappointment and dissatisfaction
that Premier Lloyd George ignored the
general demand for a reduction of ma
tional expenditures Is the most striking
comment made by most of the news
papers to-day. Friendly and hostile
editorials generally agree that the Pre-
mier made an excellent plea for econ
omy in industry and increased produc-
ton and also that he offered some SEN
sible proposals for future Industrial
policy.
Swallowed in most OF the newspapers by
sharp condemnation OF what is termed
the Premier's failure to recognize the
extravaganza and waste in Government
departments. o.
Newspapers OF widely differing views
declare Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech
showed the Government has no policy
and does not know It's own mind. These
newspapers declare the nation will be
filled with disquietude at the Govern
ment's failure to show strong leadership.
The Premier's proposals on the coal
situation are generally criticised. Advo-
Gates of naturalization express indigna-
ton and accuse the Government Of
breaking its promise to carry out the
findings of the Sankey Commission. The
Herald. a labor paper, notifies the Gov
eminent that the workers are deter
mined to have naturalization and that
the rejection of the Sankey report, which
favored such a course, will provoke
direct action"
The references OF the Premier to the
United States and Turkey and to the
League of Nations are virtually ignored
by the commentators. although the
Herdld says:
''As long as the outrageous misrule in
Ireland continues. all talk of League
of Nations is idle and hypocritical
babble."

BUDAPEST. Aug. 1e (delayed) .-Arch-
duke Joseph agreed to-day TO resign his
place as temporary dictator of the Hun
garian Government because OF the So
oialists' objections to him. but consented
to remain at the head OF the State for
the time being when peasant leaders and
members of the reactionary party pro-
tested.
These leaders were said to have de-
clared they would cause the food block
ade against Budapest to be reestab-
lished unless the Archduke continued to
act as Regent. They declared also they
would establish a new Government out
side the city.
Before these declarations Archduke
Joseph capitulated, and apparently has
decided to remain In his present position.
The Socialists, who demanded Ave places
in the Cabinet, then declined to continue
the negotiations looking to their Inclusion
in the Government. Their leader. Ga
rami. will leave for Vienna tonight. He
said he would not take an office from the
hands of a Hapsburg.

WARSAW, Aug. ia rising of Polish
workmen against the Germans is taking
place in many towns in upper Silesia.
The present events are the result OF a
deliberate German policy of oppression
and provocation pursued in regard to the
Polish population. 1t is certain that the
sternest repressive measures will now be
taken against the rebellious strikers,
and the instructions suppressed with a
relentless hand.
It is not to be expected the poles in
Poland will remain quiet when people
of their own race are being shot down
by German machine guns a few miles
over the border. War between GerNsA ~
and Poland Is an immediate possilvAsy.
CoPENHAGEN Aug. 19.-Polish revolts
in upper Siiesia are still spreading, &C
cording to advices from Berlin. All the
mines have been occupied by troops to
prevent sabotage. The revolutionaries
are said to consist partly of Polish
troops and partly of Communists. They
disarmed several hundred German sol
diers and opened an attack on the Ger
man barracks and railway trains.
The Poles are attempting to occupy
the province, says the Berlin Lokdl An
seiger, without awaiting the result of
the popular vote, which they fear will
favor the territory remaining German.
