[RepublIcan A. p. Leased WireJ

LONDON, March 6.-The impress
sion is general tonight that the poll
tical situation has been relieved OF
considerable strain in the past "a
hours, authoritative reports indicat-
ing that the prime minister has de-
cided to continue in office.
Influenced by his unionist coll
leagues, particularly with reference
TO the international position as 1t
would be affected by change in the
premiership at this time, Mr. Lloyd
George is said TO be at last ready
to hold his resignation in allegiance.
1t is understood that assurances of
the support Of these leaders were
given last night at the Birkenhead

prime ministed and the lord chan
cellor, there were present Mr. Cham
berlain, Sir Arthur Balfour. Lord

ment is said to have been reached
at last nights gathering that instead
] Of the coalition breaking up, steps
| should be taken to coalesce it into the
| talked of National party. Announce
ment of the policy decided upon is
awaited in Sir Arthur Balfours ad-

SENATOR BORAH
MAKES REQUEST
F Or DATA ON 4
P9WER TREATY
[RepubIIean 4. ?. Lsassd WIrel

WASHINGTON, March s. - An
other senate request for information
about the four power Pacific treaty
was sent to the white house today
coincident with the beginning OF a
seriessof addresses by administration
senator's expounding the treaty and
urging its ratification.
Without a record vote and with the
consent of the administration lead
ers, the senate adopted after A sf1ort
debate a. resolution introduced by
Senator Borah, Republican Of Idaho,
a leader of the 'irreconcilables" ask
ing President Harding 10 explain
what will become of the Lansing
Ishii agreement with Japan should
the four power pact be given senate
approval.
Forecasting the Presidents reply,
Senator Underwood of Alabama. the
Democratic leader and a member OF
the arms delegation which negotiated
the treaty, declared on the senate
floor that the four power and other
pacts resulting from the arms con-
ference would wipe OUT the celeb
rated "gentlemen'S agreemeSt' OF
1917 entirely.
His construction OF the situation
was disputed however, by other SEN
ators.
Just as the Lansing -llshii agree
ment recognized that Japan had ''spe-
cial interests in China. Mr.. Under
wood argued, the arms treaties re-
cognize that no nation possesses any
such privileges or any other right
which might be construed as Great
ing a special sphere of influence III
the Far East Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, the Republican leader
and another OF the American dele
gates, indicated afterward that his
view coincided with that Of Senator
Underwood.
Presentation OF the Borah- resolu-
/ ton followed an extended discussion
! OF the treaty by Senator New Re
publican Of Indiana. who In the first
prepared address to be made in the
senate by the treaty supporters, ex-
planned the four power agreement as
| a logical and sound development of
the long established American policy
in the Pacific. He contrasted it in
detail with the league of nations COW
enant, declaring that nothing was
now proposed which would involve
| the United states in an alliance or
| transgress cherished American ira
ditions.
No general debate on the treaty
! following the opening of the admins
| tration drive for ratification, but
| Senator Lodge gave notice that be-
ginning tomorrow he would endeavor
TO keep the subject before the senate
so that debate might be expedited as
much as appeared practicable.

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. March 6.
"A searching party found the body
OF Harold Salley, q, of Glen Oak,
today in a thicket near a country
school house. He had been absent
from home eight days. The body
was guarded by Salleys dog, which
at first refused to allow the search

was found on the dead mans head.
Salley apparently had been dead
for six days.
The damp ground about the body
was trampled smooth by the dog,
who was almost dead from starva-
ton, apparently having remained
constantly with his masters body.
