OUT BY MARCH 5
Lloyd George Sets Date for
Election or Resignation.
UItimatum Delivered to Lead
ers of Conservatism.
(By the Associated Press.j

London, NJ a C h 3.-Wednesday,
March 8, is the date set by Prime
Minister Lloyd George for fulfillment
of his ultimatum to Austen Chamber
lain, according to a report in parlia-
mentary circles.
If by then he has not received salts
factory assura noes of the loyal support
of the coalition conservatives it is said
he will present to the king his resig-
nation of the premiership which he is
now figuratively carrying in his
pocket.
The determination of Mr. Cham
berlain, Lord Chancellor Birkenhead
and other conservative leaders to
stand by Mr.. Lloyd George is unshaken
and the steps they will take in an at
tempt to bring their followers into line
are awaited with interest. This curl
osity may be satisfied when Chamber
lain delivers his speech at Oxford to-
night as it is generally expected he
will make a pronouncement bearing
on the political crisis.
The anti-coaition newspapers say
the storm raised by the premier's let
ter to Mr.. Chamberlain became worse
yesterday while Lloyd Georges cham
pions declare matters are somewhat
improved. All agree, however, that
nothing approaching a settlement has
been reached and that difficulties re-
main acute.

MANY MOTORISTS FACE ARREST
Fifty Thousand Kansans Have Failed
to Take Out New License.

More than so. 600 Kansas motorists
are subject to arrest because they have
failed to obtain 1922 license tags.
Orders were sent out this week from
the office of L. J. PettijOhn, secretary
of state, to enforce the law which pro-
vides a minimum fine of S25 for fail
ure to pay the annual fee promptly.
Eight state inspectors are now in
the field and Will assist local officers
in seeing that offenders are warned
and penaiized if necessary. The in
spectors will try to reach all of the
principal cities within the next few
weeks.
The total automobile registration to
date is approximately 225. 600 as com
pared with a total of 225, 900 at the
corresp pording time in the last regis
tration and 2S7,OOO for the six months
ending December 81, 1921 Applica-
tons are coming in at the rate of
nearly 1000 a day. and a large force
of stem 1graphers is still busy making
out application records and mailing
tags.
Some motorists apparently are not
aware that the license year has been
changed from a fiscal to a calendar
year basis" said +. A. Cornell. chief
of the license department. Other
wise it is hard to account for the fact
that We are 10000 short of the total
registration at the corresponding time
following last July 1.

Kansas Farmer Union Head
Expresses Doubt, However.

Denver, March with plans for
the organization of a national fedora
ton of wheat marketing organizations
well under way, and a resolution de-
claring at an end what antagonism
may have existed between the United
States Grain Growers Inc, and vari-
Gus other cooperative grain mark
ing associations. only minor problems
today confronted representatives of
cooperative wheat marketing associa-
tions who have been holding confer
ences here since Tuesday.
The new federation, it was an
nounced, will begin operations as soon
as the middle western cooperative
societies begin actual selling of wheat.
Further plans for the fed Grafton will
be made at a meeting of the organiza-
ton CO nTnittee in Kansas City March
3. Work of launching the new or
gsnization is being directed by the or
ganizing committee consisting of
George c. Jewett, general manager of

To Majority Monday.
The perfected plan will be sub
mitted to the majority membership
Monday. Chairman Fordney and 9TH
er members said they did not think il
would be necessary to present the bill
to a Republican conference. but add
ed that the measure probably would
not be reported to the house for ten
days or two weeks so as to give mem
bers ample time in which to study
the compromise.
One change in the original adjusted
service certificate title was made to-
day and members estimated that this
would reduce the total ultimate cost
of the bonus by perhaps as much as
half billion dollars.
Cut Percentage Value
Under this change the face value
of the certificate would be the sum.
of the adjusted 5 rvice pay plus rs pcr
nally proposed, plus interest at the
rate of ~ per cent a year, com
pounded annually.
The maximum interest rates which
banks could charge in making loans
to the holders of the certificates was
fixed at the amount of the rediscount
rate charged by the regional federal
reserve banks, plus ? per cent.
Would Get Pay Anyhow.

man defaulted in payments to the
bank and the banks made demand on
the government at the end of three
years for the amount due the govern

justed service pay. plus interest at the
