LONDON, March 15.-The virtual re-
fusal of the Unionsts at their meeting
last night to reatfirm their loyalty
Premier Lloyd George has raised again
the question on all sides: When will
the Premier resign" in view Of the
fact that Lloyd George, in his letter
to Austen Chamberlain. chief Of the
conservatives, made the Coalitions
continued tenure of Office contingent
upon full Unionist support, the atti
tude of last nights gathering was
nothing short OF slap in the face of
the Premier. The Conservatives met
purposely to declare their loyalty, and
instead they balked and rejected a
manifesto declaring their support.
Lloyd George remains in Criccicth,
Wales, with his family. He is in daily
touch with his office in Downing Street
by telephone, but he has no word for
publication Many of his followers
and others believe that he has been
looking forward to the Genoa economic
conference with the hope that by a
brilliant stroke there he can restore
his waning political prestige. But even
this hope threatens to fail him because
advices from Franco indicate q grow
ing desire to have the Genoa meeting
either postponed indefinitely or aban-
doned altogether. French sources say
that the possibilities of the gathering
are small, indeed, and that Premier
Poincarc has virtually given up mis-
intention of going to the sessions. This
view has found some support in Eng
land, where it is recognized that the
refusal of the United States to take
part in the meeting was serious blow.
Such warm supporter Of the coali-
ton as "The Evening Standard" be-
levcs that Premier Lloyd George will
stay in Office long enough to see the
Irish Free State bill through Parla-
mont and then will resign. to be sue
ceeded by a Conservative ministry The
Liberal "Star" agrees with this view in
part, but believes that the die-hard
Unionists in the House of Lords will
try to amend the bill in its committee
stages and thus precipitate an appeal
to the country. The general belief
however, favors the former as the more
probable development, as it is expected
that Conservative ministry. retaining
some of the members Of the present
Cabinet, could be formed. and it un-
Questonably could command a maj jority
in the House Of Commons

AGRICULTURAL REPORT

GOOD,BUT NEEDS RAIN
az Assoclated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1.-THE semi
monthly report on agricultural condi-
tions in Indiana compiled by George
C. Bryant, statistician to the United
States department of agriculture, says
today:
Temperatures averaged slightly be-
low normal ana no serious damage has
been done TO growing crops although
little rain occurred during the period
except in a few scattered localities.
THE corn crop continues to show
good prospects but is now in need OF
rain in most places. The fields are Of
uneven growth but all are clean and
most of it is tasseling
Winter wheat and rye threshing is
nearing completion in all sections with
the yields running from four to As
bushels for wheat and 10 to 80 bushels
! for rye. Marketing is fairly liberal.
The oats and barley harvest has been
completed and threshing commenced
but indicated yields are very unsatis-
! factory in all sections.
Hay Harvest Satisfactory
"The hay harvest is completed with
satisfactory results. Young clover is
not doing well and meadows and pas
lures look very poor in most localities.
| Clover seed acreage is much increased
and condition good.
Potatoes, tomatoes and other truck
! and garden crops would be benefited
! by a good rain, but no serious damage
! has yet developed. Tobacco has made
splendid growth and some fields have
been topped
'sTree fruits are all in excellent con
! dition. Some trouble is being expert
enced by peach growers in the south
ern counties in shipping their crop.
On account of the railroad strike
melon growers are much discourage
at the prospect of shipping their crop
to market
"All livestock is in good condition
except a few scattered cases of hog
Icholera. The farm labor supply is
equal TO the demand"

P0INCARE PRAISED
FOR FIRM HANDLING
OF GERMAN DEBTS
(Rv Associated Pressl

PARIS, Aug. 2.-Premier Poincare's
firm handling of the controversy with
the Germans over the payment OF
private debts has brought general sat
isfaction here. Although the question
is secondary, it is regarded as augur-
ing we'll for the attitude the premier
will take at the coming London confer
ence which will deal with the -epara-
tons question, inter-allied debts and
related issues.
The question as to what constitute
the measures of ''retortion" mentioned
in the French note to Germany was OF
paramount interest this morning. The
Germans, according to LIE Journal
know already that they consist of the
expulsion of $4,000 Germans from AL
sace-LorTaine and the confiscatioG OF
their property in addition to the prop
erty Of thousand of the richest per
sons on the left bank of the Rhine
and the seizure of the cities of Dussel
dorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort.
The critics of NJ. Poincare, such as
the newspaper L'Oeuvre, however
look upon his letter as a noisy out
burst.
The probability, they say, is thai
the affair will be thrown in with the
whole question of reparations and in
ter-allied debts.
The Earl of Balfour's note concern
ing the war debts has considerably
diminished French hopes as to wha
the London meeting can effect TOWARD
the settlement of Europe.
The British attitude is perfectly
logical" remarks LIE Journal, "bnt i

Discuss Democratic
Attitude IN Texas
fBy Associated P-ass)

DALLAS, Texas, Aug 2.-Whether
certain leaders in the Democratic
party will support Earle B. May-field
or James B. Ferguson for United
States senator in the campaign which
will close in the primary of Aug. %, is
attracting almost as much interest
among the rank and file of the party
as which of the two men finally will
be nominated.
Mr.. Mayfield, through his campaign
preceding the first primary, July %,
refused TO acknowledge that the Ku
Klux Khan was an issue in the race.
He popularity was credited with hav-
ing the solid support of the klandom
in Texas, and was expected to con-
tinue TO get it in the recent campaign.
His managers when questioned con-
corning that phase, reiterated that
Mr. Mayfield refuses to recognize the
khan question as vital. but that he is
grateful for support either khan or
anti-klan.
