international News service.
LONDON, Nov. Is. =, Great
Britain, with the exception Of
Ireland, is -elestiag a new House
of Commons today following the
most bitter and spectacular poll
tical campaign the country has
known in a decade.
Upon the outcome will depend
whether England is to continue
to have a Tory government or
the Liberals will come into power.
1t was generally conceded that
the Socialist-Laborites have little
chance of getting control.
Lloyd George Is Issue.
The most spectacular figure of
the campaign and election is David
Lloyd George, England's war
premier, whose coalition government
was overturned by the Tory die
hards" a month ago. Lloyd George
was returned to his seat in Com
mons without opposition from his
old constituency at Carnarvon,
Wales.
On account of the small number
of Lloyd George liberal candidates
standing for election to Commons.
there Is no chance Of this faction
Of the liberal party gaining con-
troll unless Lloyd George effects a
bloc or coalition with liberals OF
opposition faction or with Tory
members who are dissatisfied with
the policies of Premier Andrew
Bonar Law.
Early reports from various quar-
ters said that a light vote was
being polled. but that heavier bal
loting was expected later in the
day. The weather was unfavor
able the most part. There was
dense fog in London.
Tory Conservative leaders claim
ed that they would have a majority
of from 20 to 80 seats in Parlia.
ment. 1t was admitted, however,
that the magnetic Lloyd George
would be able to create a powerful
opposition. 1t is possible that II
the Tories continue to rule, Lloyd
George will have sufficient per.
sonal following to block all Tory
legislation in Parliament.
Work To Bring Out Vote.
Election workers of all the parties
and factions worked hard to get out
the vote, telling the people in
speeches and pamphlets that "the
critical hour is at hand not only
for Britain but all Europe"
Little of the excitement which
always marks an election in the
United States was visible here. Up
to noon no disorders had been re.
ported anywhere.
For the first time the American
issue" was brought into a British
campaign and election. 1t was a
composite issue based upon the
following:
better friendship with the
United States.
2-Payment of the British debt
to the United States.
3-Effect of American prohibi.
ton upon Great Britain.
Lady Astor, who is standing for
reelection to Commons from Ply.

vets had sent money and orators
into England TO work against her
because she is In favor OF local

THE ARMY

Appreciating the dependence of the
War Department upon the chemical
industry Of the country in time of
emergency, Assistant Secretary of
War J. Mahew Wainwright in an ad-
dress before the national exposition
of chemical industries in New York
city last week charged his ONCE as
responsible under the law for the
mobilization of material and indus
trial organizations essential to war
time needs.
Mr.. Wainwright stated that during
the late war at least one-half of the
expenditures for ammunitions were
for materials such as propellants, ex-
plosives, gases. etc, which were sup
piled by the chemical industry OF the
country.
dustry that government could not, in
the opinion Of Mr.. Wainwright. have
carried on the war for one-half of it's
duration. The German chemical in
dustry by its pre-war researches was
able to suggest to its government
substitutes for those chemicals or raw
materials pertaining to chemistry
which had previously been imported.
At the time our country was
plunged into war IL the Chilean nitrate
supply had been cut OF, In the opinion
Of Mr.. Wainwright, we could not have
produced ammunition. Whereas the
German chemical industry had per-
fected the Haber process of nitrogen
fixation from the air. which process
during the war was extended to the
point where it practically took care
of all the requirements of the German
army.
The War Department, declared
Mr.. Wainwright, exists in time of
peace largely for providing for the
defense Of the country in time of
need. Therefore, it is necessary in
time of peace to make plans for war.
I am therefore giving a great deal of
attention to planning how to utilize
the commercial industries of the
country to best advantage in time of
war"

J. b. Elmore of Brawley, who is the

the outlook for the enterprise as entire
ly satisfactory. The aim is for $50
members and already 100 have been
enrolled with no particular effort on
the part Of the committee. The election
o fla board of directors is the next step
contemplated. The date was announced
as September 6, but on account of the
fact that so many of the members have
not returned from their vacation, the
election will be held later in the month.
Plans for the club include a fine club
house, golf links, tennis grounds, race
tracks, dancing, swimming and other
out of door amusements. Mr.. Elmore
is most enthusiastic about the enter
prise believing that it will be great
acquisition to the valley. The mem

would be five cents cubic yard. Ac

for n fraction under this cost and this
fraction will mean n saving of maLy
thousands of dollars on the whole. work
