POincare Awaits
British Decision on
Return Crown Prince

Paris, Nov. 14.-(By A. P.)-The ap.
parent hesitation of the British gov
ernment to give its ambassador at
Paris. the Marquis of Grove, definite
instructions in holding up the decision
of the ambassadors council on the re-
turn of the former German crown
prince to Germany, it is held in French
official circles. NJ. Poincare. it is said
is awaiting the British decision on this
subject because it was London that
raised the question in the first place,
and in his talks with Lord Crewe the
French premier agreed to leave the ini-
tiative in this matter to the British.
NJ. Poincare is more anxious regard
ing the protection of the inter-allied
mission for military control in Ger
many than concerning the crown
prince. but announces his readiness to
join with Great Britain in any &C
ton that government may propose.
When the ambassadors council met
this morning it was announced that
the British ambassador had up to that
time received no instructions from his
government regarding Frederick Will
liam. This caused no surprise. as Lord
Crewe had expressed to NJ. Poincare
the desire of his government that the
matter be taken from the hands of the
council and dealt with through ordi-
nary diplomatic channels. The German
chancellor, DIR. Stresemann. disarrang-
ed that plan by addressing his reply
to the council. thus making it obligato-
ry for that body to take notice of it.
The suggestion has been made in
diplomatic circles that the German gov
eminent and the former crown prince
might be persuaded that the best solu-
tion for all concerned would be for
Frederick William to take up his resi-
dence for a time in some neutral coun-
try other than Holland. preferably

day to four years and three months
at hard labor in the Federal peni-

meteoric rise from barber to the con-
trolling power of number OF imam
cial institutions came to q climax
when he vanished last February.
Frank L. Taylor, $50 a week bank

ready access to the vaults, according
to the testimony. Marcino cashed
the 100000 worth of bonds for about
100000 in Buffalo. Most OF TINS
money was never recovered.
Taylor, for his part in the looting
of the institution, is now serving

British Politicians
Preparing for
Election Campaign

IAOnOOn, NOV. IA, (By A. P)-
Pending Premier Baldwin's further
exposition of his protectionist policy,
which will be made in the course of
the debate on the labor censure mo-
ton in the house of commons tomor-
row, political interest is wholly alb
sorbed in active preparations in the
various constituencies for the election
campaign.
At the sitting today it was believed
outlines of the government was laid
down. There is evident misgiving
and nervousness among members of
the conservative party generally. as
contrasted with the enthusiasm dis
played in the liberal and labor
ranks.
The present campaign differs in
portant particulars from similar
campaign WHICH carried the libeals
triumphantly to victoy in 1916. When
Joseph Chamberlain launched his
famous protectionist move which
smashed his party there were prac-
tically only two big parties in par
liament-conserVativ and liberal
with very small labor party and a
few Irish nationalists. Now the la
Dor party in the house of commons
consists of 144 members and is the
, official opposition.
II the reunited liberal and labor
pafties could be induced to coop
crate there is a very general belief
that the protectionists would be de-
feated. The labor party. however.
has consistently refused to coope-
rate with the liberals and as a con-
sequence liberals are fighting labor
ties in the constituencies and giving
seats to the conservatives on minor
ity votes. The existing parliament
was in point of fact elected on a mi
nority vote of the electorate for this
very reason. The liberal press is
making appeals to the labor leaders
to agree to some sort of an election
concordat, to prevent such interne-
cine falling in the constituencies, on
the ground that the present is a
unique occasion. where liberal and
laborites have an equal interest in
defeating protectionism.
