Iron and Coal Magnates in Ruhr
Have Incurred Hatred OF Proletariat

affiuent fellow countrymen. and Tho
result has been to embitter the lat
ter against them. Indeed, the menace
of popular rising of the masses, and
even of the lower bourgeoisie. who
find that the deprecated national cur
rency has ceased to have any pur-
chasing power, and who are confront
ed by starvation, is at the present
moment a greater peril than ever. It
an insurrection breaks out in Ger
maryland 1t will be terrible one
it will be directed, not against the
French occupants of the Ruhr. but
against Tyssen, SHINES, the Stumms
and their fellow profiteers. who have
ostentatious display thereof. when
the entire country is face to face
with destitution and famine.
Now that a reconciliation has taken
place between the dissident wings of
the liberal party, and that Lloyd
George and the adherents and friends
of Herbert Asquith are once more
united against the present conserva-
tive government. the appointment of
Capt. Hilton Young, NJ. P, as chief
whip and party manager acquires
increased interest. Capt. Young Is
member of the bar and former editor
of the Economist and financial editor
of the London Morning Post prior to
the outbreak of the great war. He
promptly secured n commission as a
commander of the royal naval reserve
in August, 1914, and served with con-
siderable distinction-first of all in
the North sea, then in the Mediter-
ranean. afterward with. the naval
mission in Serbia, also in command
of an armored train in the Archangel
campaign, and, above all. in the chan
mel off the coast Of Belgium.
Capt. Young, likewise. formed one
Vindictive under the fire of the Ger
man guns and sank her in the en-
trance of Zeebrugge harbor, so as to
block the canal to the principal base
of the ex-kaiser's submarines He
came out of this daring expedition
with the loss of an arm. while among
the honors which he won during the
war were the British distinguished
service order, the British distin-
guished service cross, the Belgian
croix de guerre and the French Legion
Of Honor and the croix de guerre.

Capt. Hilton Young is about forty
four years of age, and although his
hair is tinged with gray, his smile
and manner are boyish and he is a
but also in parliament. He married
couple of years ago Lady Scott, the
sculptress, widow of Capt Robert r
Scott, Il. NJ, the antarctic explorer.
who met such a tragic death on his
way back from the south pole. His
widow retains his name and her title.
1t may be recalled that Capt. Scott
was created, posthumously. a knight
commander of the Order of the Bath
by King George in recognition of that
work of antarctic exploration to
which he gave his life. That is how
his widow became Lady Scott, daugh-
ter of Canon Lloyd Bruce. She has
achieved considerable success as a
sculptress, contributing in no small
degree to the income needed for her
own subsistence and that of her six
teen-year-old boy, Peter Scott, until
her marriage to Capt. Young.
Capt. Young is younger son of
old Sir George Young, fourth baronet
of Formosa, picturesque islet in the
Thames, nearly opposite Lord Astor's
magnificent country seat at Cliveden.
The Youngs hail from Dorset, where
they were lords of the manor when
Sir Francis Drake set sail for the
new world, nearly four centuries ago.
They have been in possession of For
mosa ever since it's acquisition by Ad-
miral Sir George Young, who played
a notable role in the taking of Quebec
and OF Havana.
