LONDON, Sept. 23.-The spread Of
unemployment has begun to alarm the
British Cabinet, and drastic scheme
for instant relief is expected to be an
nounced next week. Party leaders in
the House of Commons are consulting
with the Cabinet on the advisability
of summoning Parliament imme-
diately.
The unemployment situation, more
than anything else, Influenced Premier
Lloyd George to give up his plans for
going to Washington in November. it
was said to-day. He was impressed by
the moderation and understanding with
which the London labor Mayors. who
had travelled six hundred miles to see
him, presented their case to him last
night at billiard room conference st

the Premier that the country was sit

The speaker of the House of Com

chairman of the Labor party that the
immediate summoning of Parliament is
under consideration, but the expecta-
tlon. is that it can hardly assemble
much before October 1, the date set for
convening when the House adjourned
two months ago. Labor leaders are
condemning the delay in meeting.
Clynes says that the delay is danger
Gus, especially if winter weather comes
on earlier than usual. This opinion is
shared by John Hodge, president of the
iron and Steel Trades Federation.

Secretary, speaking at Dundee TO-DAY.
announced that the governments en-
plcyment plans would be in final shape
next week. He warmly defended the
Cabinet against the charge that it was
callous to the country's needs, point
ing out that $500, 100000 had been spent
since the armistice to relieve unem-
the most gigantic appropri-
alton ever made to this end by any
country in the history of the world.
America, whose vaults overhowed
with Europe's gold during the war, is
now in an infinitely worse position
than England" the Secretary said.
Churchill insisted that strikes were
responsible for the present situation.
Relief could best be offered, he
thought, through workingmen's insur-
ance. He said he recognized the fact
that the government could not refuse
assistance in some form to the cities
and areas where unemployment was
exceptionally acute.

he had maintained since his arrival ih
London in talking with correSpon-
dents this forenoon.
Speaking of his meeting with the

This is simply a private confer

of a long range bombardment, to see
what can lie done at close quarters.
Asked what he considered the con-
ference's prospects for the settlement
of peace, Mr.. de Valera-replied: The
outlook is brighter than it ever was
in history"
Il am sure" he added. that the at
mosphere in England and in Ireland
is right for peace. The only thing
that is necessary now is for US to gei
down to rock bottom.

difficulties of the moment. | have
come to tell you that it is not because

things to the British but because the
moment is not opportune for it.
'As far as | can see from your

cfrefully, there is no country in the
world which needs more to under
stand the aspirations of the Irish peo-
Pile and the right and logic of their
case than your own people.
Il should he very glad indeed to put
the case before your people, but as |
am putting it before the representa-

sci whether the trial should proceed.

call Mrs. kaber until other testimony

nesses, Mrs. Gertrude Rossiter, a re-
ligious practitioner, and Miss Mary
Bryckel, an aunt of the accused wom-
an, who testified they believed her
insane. defense attorneys then called
their first alienist to testify, as to
Mrs. Kaber's mental condition. He
was Dr.. James c.. Hassel of Chicago.
a specialist in mental disorders. AT
ter qualifying him as an expert wit
ness, Attorney VIM. j. Corrigan be-
gan to read a hypothetical question
on which DR.. Hassel is to base his
statement on whether he believes
Mrs. Kaber sane or insane.
Mrs. Kaber appeared more re-
freshed when she appeared in the
courtroom today than at any time
since the trial began but before the
case proceeded very far she appeared
to weaken and attendants held stimu
lants to her nostrils. The courtroom
again was crowded. a great many
women being present.
Judge Bernan had the halls cleared
before the court opened.
DR.. Hassel expressed the opinion
that Mrs. Kaber was insane when
