one of his characteristic speeches. he
probably would not only succeed in
bucking UP the league itself. but he
would have the opportunity to APP

Premier Lloyd George is especially
desirous Of assuming the lead in the
aNcviation of conditions in Central
Europe and in the promotion of
world wide disarmament. His friends
here believe that dramatic personal

The Prcmier's hopes Of going to

Lord Robert Cecil is considering go
ing to the United states in person
to promote his disarmament project.
Lloyd George. eager to seize on AL
possible achievements In the dircc-
iion of world peace. was extremely
reluctant to abandon his plans for
attending the Washington armament
conference. His disappointment be-
came all the more keen in view OF
the acclamation showered on Lord
Balfour at Washington. The Pre-
mier has since hoped that there would
be financial conference at Wash

an opportunity to win the piaudlts Of
America. But inasmuch as such A
conference now appears extremely
unlikely. Lloyd George Is not iGnor-

MRS. HARDING CRITICALLY
I'LL; '.HER RECOVERYLSNOT
YET ASSURED, is REPORT
Not Necessarily Fatal,
Says DR.. Wander Hoof

DR.. -. Wander Hoof, leading
physician OF this city. stated last
night that hydro nephrosis. from
which Mrs. Harding Is suffering.
is a swelling of the kidney to
the bladder. The obstruction, DIR.
Wander Hoof said, Is sometimes
caused by kink in the duct. or
may be the result of some other
impeding substance. The effects
OF the swelling. he said. are not
necessarily serious. although the
condition OF the patient and the
merits of the individual case
would be of paramount import
ance in determining this.
The fact that half dozen
surgeons have ben called to the
bedside OF Mrs. Harding. how
ever. leads to the conviction that
tho swelling has proven serious.
and in the opinion of the original
physicians. may be fatal.
