Labor Party Plans
Energetic Opposition
In House Commons

London, Nov. 17.-(By A. P.)-
Now that the elections battle has
ended, interest turns rather on the
George, whose star is temporarily
eclipsed and, second, of the Labor
party, than on that of the new Con-
sentative government.
Until the new parliament is sha-
ken down the exact strength of
Premier Bonar Laws actual major
ity will not be known. but it proba-
constitutes a good working majority
and renders the Conservatives COM
pletely Independent of help from any
other quarters.
The government supporters no
longer will want even cooperation
from the Georgeite Liberals, and, al
though much was heard in the cleo
and cooperation, when there was
fear that no single group would be
returned of sufficient strength to
govern alone, it is safe to say that
nothing more will be heard of such
cooperation and that Lloyd Georges
small remaining group will be left
entirely to its own resources.
It Is already evident that the for
mer premier does not intend to be
idle. He has taken up permanent
political headquarters in London for
himself and his chief supporters,
Lork Birkenhead. Winston Churchill
and others who form brilliant
group. Mr.. Churchill will not long
be without a seat in parliament.
The Labor party is preparing to
make an energetic opposition in the
House of Commons. The party will
hold it's first meeting on Tuesday to
elect officers. 1t is expected that
John r. Clynes will be chairman.
The session of parliament begin
ming next Monday will be brief and
devoted entirely to Irish legislation.
An analysis of the voting in the
elections proves that although the
Conservatives have been returned in
much strength in the number of
seats won, their party poll was in
the minority. Their total vote in the
contested elections were approx
mately $500, 900, while the ombined
vote of the Independent. Liberal and
Labor parties was approximately
seven million. This arose from the
fact that there were so many three
cornered contests and spite votes
There is therefore. already begin
ming strong agitation on the part Of
the Liberal and Labor parties for
the introduction of proportional rep
resentation in order to secure fairer
representation in the nations voting.

CONT TOPS GERMAN
CHAMP IN BILLIARD
PLAY AT new YORK

New York. Nov. 17.-Roger Cont.
French cue dstar, won his secon
game OF the International 1872 balk-
line billiard championship tourna-
ment today by taking the measure of
Erich Hagenlacher. German cham
pion, 500 to 355. it was Hagenlacher's
fourth successive reverse.
Hagenlacher ran off 81 on what
proved to be his last turn at the
table. but his cueing lacked spirit
and he missed on forlorn stab for a
masse. Cont quickly completed his
string. clicking of thirty points
along the head rail with an exhi-
bition of perfect control.
Iagenlacher counted 4 with wide
carom shots. Cont gathered 20 be-
fore he missed on a drive around the
table.
Hagenlacher followed with a run
Of 81 that was an exposition of close
manipulation along the end rail. To-
ward it's close he obtained nursing
position. The cue ball rolled to a
freeze against the red and the nee
essary masse cost him control at IS.
He finally missed a masse on tn" rail
with his total tally at 23O to Sc for
Cont.
Cont counted 81 by close balllline
his first sustained effort of the
match, in the eighth inning. The
Frenchman had the balls in perfect
position when he missed a short
masse. 1t gave .Hagenlacher a set
up to start the ninth inning, but the
German only made 10 when he
bungled q direct carom. Cont pro-
duced run of Sc on his next turn
and appeared to be playing with
greater confidence as he closed the
gap separating him from his rival.
Cont was the first of the con-
testants to count in triple figures.
BY the closest kind of end table play
in which he employed brilliant
masse and an occasional dead ball
drive. re overhauled Hagenlacher
and went to the lead by the tally $50
to 275 at the end of ten innings. In
this inning Conti's run of 204 was a
| masterpiece of end rail play at all
stages. He missed a draw.
Hagenlacheres game seemed to fall
to pieces as the tide turned against
him. His cushion shots lacked all
element of judgment and speed. The
result was that the Frenchman was
rarely absent from the table more
than a few minutes at time and
made the most of his advantage. Con-
ii followed his great run of 204 with
another of 10 before he missed a
close massc.
Contis run Of 10 put him in
commanding lead, 40 to 293 at the
close of the eleventh inning. His last
triple figure run was made with I'M
usual rapidity the French star
scarcely waiting for the cue to stop
rolling before he started the next
shot.

CHECKING MOVES
RIbbARD IN DEATH
OF DAVIS BROTHERS

Oxford, n. H., Nov. 17-While po-
lice and detectives awaited the re-
suit OF a comparison Of the finger
prints of Earl NJ. Hubbard, a woods
man who shot himself fatally with
his rifle at a lumber camp in the
backwoods of his town on Wednes-
day. with those found on the handle
OF the axe used in the killing of
| John and Charles Davis, aged broth
ers. in their cabin near here, further
inquiries were instituted today into
the activities of the suicide woods
man previous to his death.
Several residents of the town told
| the police that Hubbard in the few
days preceding his suicide, had taken
a number of mysterious trips in q
hired automobile. They said that he
would leave his back woods cottage
! early in the morning and remain
away all day, telling no one of his
! GRAND or his destination.
Police also conducted a search for
the woodsman's pocketbook and his
, bank book. Persons familiar with
Hibbard said that he always carried
long red pocket book which always
appeared to be well filled and that
he also carried a bank book. In
their search today through the
woodsman's cabin, a mile from the
scene Of the Davis murder, police
found a stocking which appeared to
be blood stained. A shoe stained with
blood had been found on the first
search of the shack.
With the result of an examination
of the vital organs of the murdered
brothers, made known, police had
eliminated the theory that they were
drugged before the murder and had
also succeeded in fixing more accur-
ately the time of the commission of
the crime. The report made by How
ard n. Kingsford of Dartmouth COL
lege, state pathologist, showed that
the brothers had eaten about three
hours before their deaths and author
tues announced that they had been

PERSH|NG EXPLAINS
SCOPE OF PLANS FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE

we" ork, NOV. 11.-National de-
Tense plans of the War Department
contemplated governmental control
of the entire resources of the coun.
try under IAN efficiency council OF
board of CONTROL" General Pershins
announced here tonight, speaking a,
Madison Square Garden before the
Merchants Association of New York
According to these plans" Gen.
eral Pe.'shing said, the industrial
and manufacturing institutions, az.
riculture and transportation would
be under government control while
the personnel pertaining to all OIL
! them would be mustered into the
| service as are those that are called
to the colors. An efficiency council
| or board of control, conforming to
our experience in the war. would
then be placed in charge of all re-
sources with authority to make such
disposition of them as would best
promote the success of the nation
in war.
THE initial organization and the
system to be adopted should soon be
in such tangible form that the per-
sonnet could be selected and organ
lied in readiness to take up their
duties when needed.
1T is the duty of the War Depart
ment to study the general needs of
the country in both men and mate
rial to meet the eXigencies of war;
The conclusions place certain obli-
cations upon the army personnel, in
addition to its duty as an arm of the
administration, from a consideration
of which the strength of the army
can be determined. But our recon-
merdations often go UNDECIDED, part
ly because those who hold the purse
strings will not understand, and
partly because in the past. it has
been a more or less popular thing
to cry out against the army as being
militaristic or as dangerous to the
liberties of the people, or some such
ridiculous plea that might appeal to
the ignorant voter"
Discussing the function of busl-
ness in war, General Pershing said:
THAT the conduct of war is big
business enterprise which involves a
knowledge of business principles on
the. part of leaders was wildly
brought out during the World War,
and preliminary preparations. neces-
sary to carry on to success once we
become involved in war, should ap-
peal to every business man.
1T is regrettable that a greater
number of business men with vision
do not make the sacrifice and enter
public life during peace and give
their countrymen the benefit OF
practical business experience in the
management of both national and
international affairs, instead of leav-
ing those duties to the professional
office seeker and the political sooth-
saver"
