2 REPORTED ARRESTED
FOR TAYLOR'S MURDER
Suspects Said to HoUe Been
Captured in Mexico.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoaK HERALD.
Los ANGELES, March 1.-THE arrest
of two men suspected as the 'slayers Of
William Desmond Taylor were reported
to have been made to-day In Mexico.
The first clew pointing to the spossi-
bility that the hunted men had con-
spired TO murder Taylor was uncovered
four weeks ago. Nothing could be done
with 1t without corroboration. Partial
corroboration was received by District
Attorney Woolwine about a week ago
in a letter from England which was di-
rectly linked with the, frst clew.
Taylor was a lieutenant in the Cana
dian forces One evening soon after the
armistice he was dining in London
hotel with fellow officer. His COM
panion, whose name Is withheld. was
suddenly aroused when Taylor. appear
ing greatly agttated. pointed out a man
who was, crossing the dining room and
remarked: There goes a chap who
says he is going TO kill me IL 1t takes
him n lifetime to get me"
Taylor told his friend that the man
was a sergeant in his company. and that
he had reported him. had him court
martiaied and imprisoned for n short
time for the theft OF company property.

LLOYD GEORGE NOT !
READY TO RESIGN
Says He Will Go to Genoa,
Then Tackle Home
Situation.'
CAMBRIDGE NEARLY LOST
Derby Ignores Premier, but
Gladstone Offers Him Lib
eral Leadership.

LONDON, March II tAssociated Press)
A statement. apparently inspired
was issued tonight denying that Pre-
mier Lloyd George intends to resign
a fortnight hence. 1t adds that he In
tends TO stay in Wales another ten
days and has definitely decided to go
to Genoa, and. further. that on his re-
turn TO London he will seriously
tackle the home political situation
Tie fact that it should appear
necessary to issue such a statement
is commented upon as indicating the
extreme urgency of the crisis, while
the delay in filing Edwin s. Montagu's
post as Secretary for India is gen.
orally considered proof of the diff
culties under which the coalition is
laboring. There is hardly a single
newspaper that does not take 1t for
granted that the Coalition Govern
ment Is nearing an end, and that the
next Ministry will be purely Con-
servative one.
The Prime Minister has arranged TO
hold a political conference. at Criccieth
next week. when he will consult with
his principal colleagues.
The result OF the Cambridge by-elec-
ton affords little encouragement to the
Government. Cambridge might at any
ordinary time have been regarded as a
safe Unionist seat. but instead of a
Unionist majority OF nearly 5000 votes,
such as was given at the general cleo
tions the new member was eiected on a
minority vote as the combined votes OF
the Labor and Liberal candidates ex-
ceeded the Unionist poll while the Labor
party almost doubled its general cleo
tion vote. -
Addressing a political gathering in
London tonight, the Earl Of Derby de-
MED that he had declined the Indian
portfolio because he thought. the coali-
ton ship was sinking. 1t was poticeable
that Lord Derby expressed 'uylswerving
loyalty to Austen Chamberlain and the
Unionist leaders, inside OF outside the
Cabinet, but omitted mention or the
coalition or Of Lloyd George.
Viscount Gladstone, and important
organization leader Of the Asquithian
Liberals. makes what is looked upon as
q tentative offer to Mr.. Lloyd George OF
leadership in a reunited Liberal party
pointing out that the coalition Liberals
would be welcome to rejoin the old Lib
eral party IL willing to indorse its policy,
He declares such reunion involves con.
demnation by the Premier and his coali.
ton Liberal followers of their own pol
icy, adding The decision rests with

The turning of the flank of Won
Kluck's army in the momentous days
of September 1914, not only saved the
French army and the'aliisd cause but
incidentally the richest quarters of Paris
were kept from incendiarism and de-
struction, says Col Massard in his Sec
ond installment on the work of the
French counter espionage section during
the war, published in the Liberte to-day.
i According to Col. Massard hundreds
of spies for Germany, some Of them of
French nationality, were scattered
throughout Paris ready TO spread terror

ings and residences the moment Won.

Behind this was. a completely organ
ICED plan on the part of-Berlin to force
the signing Of an immediate uncondi-
tional surrender. Documents obtained
by the French counter-espionage branch,
Massard says showed that Won kluck
had approved the plan. which consisted
OF Wholesale dynamiting In two arron-
easements on the second day Of German
occupation, including the 1nvalides,
where the Military Governor of Paris
and the whole French General Staff were
uuartered. The following day, Col. Mas

of st. Germain rAuxerrois. the Hotel DE
VILE and the Prefecture OF Police, all
of which were to have been blown up
including. probably, Notre Dame.
On the third day the destruction OF
the Champs Elysees district was TO De
begun and even the Arc de Tr1ompne
was included In, the list OF monuments
TO be destroyed, although the German
General Staff Believed that peace wouid
be signed before this became necessary
Even when forced to retreat the Ger
mans did not reiinquish the plan Of de-
stroying the Inyalides, according to the
writer. and succeeded In finding
French deserter named Athos Sydnet,
who promised to do the job. Sydnet, an
ex-acrobat, who had toured Europe and
the United States, but was too crippled
for active service, received from the
German spy headquarters in Barcelona
500 pesetas, with the promise or looVo
more when the work was done.
On returning to Paris he sought out
a former circus companion named Bull
net. who was a night Waterman in
huge building near the Invalides. where
thousands of gallons Of ether. chloro-
form. alcohol and other inflamn1able
material was stored for army use. A
fire and explosion there would have de-
stToyed the Invalides and probably
killed thousands Of civilians besides
shaking the morale Of the French peo-
pie by a new evidence Of Germany's
hidden hand striking at the very heart
OF the nation.

and frustrated the plan and punished

WAITING ON WASHINGTON
Cabinet to Submit Conven-

Ratified Here.

PARIS, March II ASSOCIATED Press).
The appearance to-day OF Premier
Poincare and Albert Sarraut, Minis
ter of the Colonies and member of the
French delegation to the Washington
conference. before the joint Foreign
Affairs and Army and Navy commits
sions. which desired explanations of
the treaties and undertakings entered
upon by France at the Washington
armament conference. brought about
one of the stormiest meetings of the
commissions in years.
The French delegation was bitterly
attacked, especially because of it's al
legged failure to be represented at the
preliminary deliberations leading up
to the four Power treaty. NJ. Sarraut
expressed himself as perfectly salts
fled with the results OF the conference
AZ far as France was concerned. He
protested vigorously against the wide
spread report that the French dele
gates had gone to Washington with
as well prepared as any other Power.
Poincare Denies Responsibflity.
M. Poincare was more guarded. He
was not overcnthusiastic in his approval
of the work done at Washington. When
ChaNenged by Andre Tardieu. who said
Fra had suffered the deepest humilia-
zion of many centuries by being excluded
from the early deliberations, NJ. Poin-
rare replied: ST am not the sponsor
for the French delegation. I had moth
ing to do with the shaping OF It's policies
or the naming of its members"
Later in the discussion Deputy Eacu-
dier, member of the Navy Commission,
said he regretted the fact that Frances
naval program had been so badly mis-
represented" To this NJ. Poincare re-
piled, m. Sarraut has told you OF the
past. am speaking to you OF the fu-
ture. Never shall France attend another
conference where she will not be treated
on the same footing with other coun-
tries"
II was tacitly agreed between the in
terpellators and the Government that
there should be no discussions in
the open Chamber or Deputies on the
Washington compacts before the Senate
ratifies or reject them.
Wait for Senate Here.
The probability of amendments being
made In. the agreements by the Ameri-
can Senate was taken into considera-
tion in reaching this conclusion. A
majority OF the commission seemed dis
posed to postpone the matter indefi-
nitely, but while giving M. Poincare
their confidence. the hope was freely
expressed that the Government would
not make ratifications OF the Wash
ington pacts a question of confidence.
An official communication said that
M. Poincare declared that all the con-
ventions signed will be submitted to
the Chamber as soon as they are rati-
fled at Washington and that the juridi-
cal application of the Root resolution
on submarine warfare will be examined
into at the conference at The Hague
at the same time as, the question con-
corning all methods of warfare are
dealt with.
The proceedings before parliamentary
commissions theoretically are secret
and the communications give only the
various outlines of them.
