EVENTS OF "A WEEK. d..
The battle of the ballots being over, the polit-
ical generals have been checking over the results
and Comparing lists of dead, wounded and missing.
Vigorous efforts have been made by the leaders Of
the several gtoups to extract comfort from the acts,
but the results have not been convincing. Two
years ago the Democrats were rebuked tor the rea-
son, in part, at least, that they had permitted pros
lperity to slip away from the country. The Repub-
Ilicans have now been slapped because they failed
Ito bring it back. >s
Congress will re-assemble> on Monday, and
plans have been in progress for the session, which
will, merge into the regular session beginning in
December, and continue until March 4. The presi-
dent hopes that all the loose ends of legislation may
be picked UP in the meantime, SO that an extra SEES
sion of the new congress will not be necessary early
jim the spring. The first item Of important legisla-
ton to be brought before the coming session is that
OF ship subsidy. The president is committed to this
legislation, and will urge it on congress in an ad-
dress which he is expected to deliver in person on
! Monday. Predictions are made that a subsidy bill
Twill be passed, but this is by no means certain. 1t
has been vigorously opposed in the past, and it is
s,more than probable that the results of the election
will strengthen that opposition. The agricultural
Interests of the country, in SO far as they are organ
lied and vocal, are strongly opposed to subsidies of
anyskird-nnless agriculture is included in the list.
Railroad legislation is also expected to- occupy
much of the attention-of the short session, and eff
forts will be made to bring about the repeal of the
present railway law, whose opponents persist in de-
%scribin8 55hssasa law guaranteeing railroad earnings.
The fact that the law does not guarantee earnings
cuts no figure with those who attack it, and in spite
if the facts, and their repeated publication, there is
an abiding, cnnpyictionsin the minds Of millions of
people that1tffe government actually does provide
this guarantee, and pays to the railroads whatever
sums may be necessary to tnakeSthe guarantee good.
Next to our'own elections our people haye beer,
interested in the British elections, which we're held
on Wednesday. The resultwas the election Of a
parliament in which the Conservatives have a cfear
majority over all other parties combined, the adj
vance of the Labor party to the position of second
in strength in the house, and the RELOCATION of the
II group of National Liberals headed by Lloyd George
tives occupy a strong position, but British political
affairs have been in such a state Of fux that it is
I unsafe to base predictions on the cohesiveness Of
Fthe Conservative membership. -
Lloyd George has within a few weeks fallen
from his high estate as the most powerful man in
1.-THE British empire, and the>foremdst figure in inter-
national politics, TO that of the leader Of a mere
\ handful Of house members. 1t must be remem-
lbered, however, that Lloyd Georges strength has

party. He has won III spite of parties, and he has
slcaused first one and then another of them, and for
ia time all of them together, to acknowledge his
leadership. He is theflast of the, great war admin
Iistrators tofpass into retirement. That he will long
tremain passive, content to play 4 minor role, is not
Ito be expected of a man of his fiery temperament
and almost unparalleled resourcefulness.
The new Italian administration headed by Pre-
mier Mussolini, head of the Fascist Of that nation,

the new premier has outlined his policy in addresses
before the Italian parliament. Musso1ini stands for
a strong policy of nationalism at home, and in inter
Irrational affairs forthe policy of nothing for moth
ssAs ling That does not differ greatly from the pre-
"a valent international policy, but it is a little more
frankly stated.
