Britain Stirred
by Lloyd Georges
Threat to Quit

London, Mar. 1-OBy A. P.)-The
prime minister's threat of resigra
ton has been the political sensation
Georges resignation have been cur
rent ever since Sir George Younger
head of the conservative party or
ganization, engineered a revolt OF
some 80 die hards" stories against
the premier during the latter's abb
sence at the Cannes meeting.
One outcome of that revolt was a
practical split in the coalition and
public abandonment of the so-called
coupon system. under which hereto
fore, candidates. whether conserNa-
tive or liberal, entered the electoral
contests under a united banner.
The attitude of the die hards" is
Georges leadership unless they are
allowed to dictate the policy of the
coalition which would include res
toration of executive veto to the
house of lords and a protective tariff
The prime minister is said to have
threatened to resign when he re-
turned from Cannes, but was dis
suaded by Austen Chamberlain
Since then. disintegration in tho
coalition has proceeded rapidly. a
large body OF the conservatives
showing a disposition to support the
revolving element.
At the same time, recent by cleo
tions in which the government can
didates were defeated tended to show
that the country was completely out
of sympathy with the coalition, while
while the labor party apd the AS
uuithian liberals, vino opposed the
coalition are constantly gaining
strength.
Ever since parliament reassambled
the belief that general elections were
approaching has overshadowed all
proceedings of a political character.
Meetings of the government whips
and the orraniZing leaders of the con-
sentative party We're held today tc
consider the new situation and al
though nothing definite was decided
it is expected that II meeting of the
ed at an early date. The contents OF
the letter which the Daily Telegraph
says the prime minister has written
to Austin Chamberlain as leader OF
the UnionistS are not known, but it
it said that the prime minister point
ed out that there was only one leader
of the coalition and that Chamberlain
and not Younger, was the leader of
the conservative party.
The general impression is that an
election cannot be far distant but
there is still an alternative, namely,
the resignation of the premier, in
which case the King might call upon
Mr.. Chamberlain to form a cabinet to
carry on the government. This gov
eminent in the general opinion, how
ever, would have a short life.

reservation or amendments the
treaty with Japan confirming Ameri-

The final vote was 81 to % rep

arms conference series, was brought
before the Senate for action. The
prolonged and bitterly fought debate
which is expected to precede a vote
on it will begin tomorrow.
Ratification Of the zap treaty fol-
lowed an all day battle over reser-
vations and amendments, during
which dissatisfied Senators on the
Democratic side. joined by few Re-
publicans, sought unsuccessfully to
attach qualifications to the ratifica-
ton resolution. A half dozen pro-
posals. all presented by Democratic
senators, were voted down success
lively by overwhelming majorities.
The reservationists made their
principal fight and reached the high
water mark of their strength in ia :

Would Not
Cut Grads
at Annapolis

Washington. Mar. 1.-The navy de-
partment stepped forward today in
an effort to save the naval academy
graduating class from being forced
to walk the plank in June.
Taking cognizance of a movement
in congress to turn the SAL members
back to civil life, Secretary DENLY,
Rear-Admiral Wilson, Supt. of the
Academy. and Rear-Admiral WASH
ington, chief of the Bureau of Navi-
cation, insisted before the house ma
val committee that they were need
be graduated according to schedule
and that no reduction be made in the
number admitted next fall.
Because of the unrest among the
2,212 men at Annapolis. Admiral vii :
son declared, a speedy decision ought
to be made. While Admiral Washing
ton, looking to the future, asserted
that the need for the services of the
midshipmen would be far greater ten
years hcnce than now
While conflicting views were ex-
pressed as to what the naval COM
mittee might recommend, questions
at the long hearing today indicated
growing sentiment in favor of COM
misSoning the first class. and re =
firing at least an equal number Of
older men in the service. many of

return to civil life.
Acting on the advice of Admiral
Wilson. the class has delayed the
purchase of first year naval equip

business concerns have approa ched
the admiral with view Of obtaining
the services of a large part Of the
class. if 1T is to be dropped under the
naval appropriation bill. which will
be reported to the house, according
to the present expectations. by the
end of the month. Until the bill is
presented the midshipmcn will not
know their status definitely. There
is the certainty of a long fight on
the~question in the senate and house.
regardless of what the appropriations
committee may write in the bill re-
letting the class
Admiral Wilson pleaded earnestly
for every man at the academy and
especially for the first class. standin:.
squarely with Secretary DENLY who
urged that the entire June class be
commissioned. The question as to
the number to be admitted each year

length. Representative Macarthur,

City Hall 0. K.
for Powwow
of Democrats

Lewiston would appear to be hard
up" for a political convention of
some sort. Either that or some
clique Of Democrats have a reason
for wishing to have their State con-
vention held there instead Of at Au-
gusta as intended
The Lewiston Journal of Wednes-
day has the following: "As told in
Yesterdays Journal the recent fire
in Augusta City hall makes it impos-
sible to hold the convention there as
originally intended"
The Augusta City hall, as every
body knows who knows anything
about it is just as suitable for the
Democratic State convention or any
other state convention as it ever
was. 1t was filled, floor and CALLER
les, on Monday evening with the
throng in attendance on the enter
tainment course. The fire neither
weakened the structure nor in any
way seriously injured the hall. There
are smoke stains about the ceiling on
the stage and marks of the fire in
some of the ante-rooms, but nothing
that disconnected a large and rep
resentative gathering of Augusta
people on three evenings this week.
The symphony orchestra gave con-
cert there Sunday evening. and the
fire was on the previous afternoon.
If the Democratic State convention
doesn't come to Augusta it will not
be because of any fire or any lack of
accommodation at City hall.
