of directors. Eight tentative schemes,
all calling for n bond Issue OF $780,
600, 900, were proposed, and the mon
returned to Detroit February 1. The
issue of bonds was to cost Ford y

FIRM FOR DISARMAMENT

BIRMINGHAM, England, Feb. s.
"A stern warning to Germany not
to attempt to evade the allies de-
mands for disarmament and war in
demnity was sounded by Premier
Lloyd George in a speech here to-
day.
"The peoples are tired Of every
thing having an atmosphere Of war,
declared the premier. "Our answer
Ito Germany ist hat the sword shall
be sheathed for all time. Nothing
will give the allied powers desire
for action against Germany except
the feeling that they have the same
Germany to deal with that treated
treaies as scraps Of paper The
allies are as united as ever in their
purposes"
ALLIES ARE DETERMINED.
The premier declared that the al
lies are determined that Germany
must disarm. Despite the fact that
Germany Is "threatened with some
thing like revolution" he said, the
world can have no positive sssur-
arce Of lasting peace until there Is
disarmament.
Discussing the German attitude
toward indemnity. the premier said
"Dr. Simons (the German foreign
minister) was fair and reasonable at
the Spa conference, but there was an
uneasy feeling that behind him were
the men Of 1914 We can hear their

1--WE entered the war because a
treaty was broken" said Lloyd
George. "Now that the war is over,
we mean to see that all treaties are
observed.
"A challenged treaty Is war In sus-
pense. Notably, there are two condi-
tions that must be respected by Ger
mary. There can be no peace with
out disarmament. We can 10 longer
tolerate the terrible equipments ana
armaments Of the past"
The premier declared that tne Wboio
German people wanted the war and
that no one class was particularly
guilty.

autocrats that caused the war. oh,

brate our first anniversary with a

Behind Mrs. Spiker was Mrs. Cora
NJ. Spiker, whose welcoming OF her

caus - her to be called both a super

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Whether the
Union of South Africa will remain
an integral part of the British EN-
pire or secede and become self
governing republic is the momen-
tous outcome which hinges upon the
general elections which will take
place in South Africa next Tuesday.
Uaien Ii Menaced.
Official circles are following the
dramatic electoral struggle with in
tense interest, and the colonial Office
frankly admits that the retention OF
the union Of South Africa in the
British empire Is more seriously
menaced than ever before, even IL:
the days OF the Boer war.
The chief contending parties sre:
Nationalists, led by General Herzog,
who desire complete Independence for
South Africa;
Imperiaiists, isd by General NJan
Christian Smyts, who desires To refpein
a a. an intsxs part Of the Britishl, British
Both sfdes cIafm victory. Cenerai
Herzog says he Is confident that the
nationalists will have safe MAJOR
ity' in the national legislature, while
General Smuts is more specific, claim
ing a majority of at least twenty
seats.
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Dispatches from Capetown and Pre-
toria say that the campaign Is being
waged with unprecedented virulcnce.
Secessionist feeling has been lashed
to fury, especially among the farmer
classes. Many African farmers have
never forgiven England for smash
ing the Boer Republic. Nationalist
orators are making fiery speeches de-
nouncing the British "for causing the
deaths Of thousands Of women and
children in detention camps during
the Boer war"
General Beyers, who is leading the
nationalist cause in the Cape Prov
ince, declared that IL the nationalists
get control Of the government they
will refuse to send a delegate to Lon
don to attend the imperial conference
In June. This, added General Beyers,
would be the first step in sundering
all ties binding the Union Of South
Africa with the British Empire.
WARNS IMPERIALISTs.
General 'Boyers also frankly warn
ed the imperialists that they would
either have to adhere to the "re-
public's" mandates or leave the coun-
try IL the nationalists gain domina-
tion.
General SHUTS. who was a member
Of the British War government dur
ing the World War and who is now
premier and minister of native affairs
in the South African government. Is
putting up a passionate hght against
secession.
"We must either remain a soveign
state in the British empire or else be-
come a weak republic" the premier
was quoted as saying In despatch
received from Capetown today. The
laboring class must look further than
their immediate interests in this con-
test. If they put General Herzog
into power they will stab the Union
of South Africa to the very heart"
Independent observers in England
believe that General SHUTS and his
Imperialists followers will win II the
British give him their solid support
and none of the British vote Is de-
fiected to labor candidates.
