Free Trade Policy Keeps British Ships Supreme He Says - Takes Shot At Poin- care.

Northampton. Eng. Nov. I7.--For- mer Premier Lloyd George in a poll tical speech before a large audience here today. condemned the protection policy of the conservatives.
 "At this moment" he declared, 'it is a settlement in Europe you want You want protection. not againsi French mills but against French milf tariss."
 Another point in Mir Lloyd Georges speech was that as long ss the United States remained a protectionist coun- try. Britain's shipping would rule the waves
 "F'ree trade enabled us 10 build ID the wealth out of which we lent thousands Of millions of pounds. and placed Us in the position of being able to repaY the United States while the other protertionisa countries could not nay ne" he said. ''Ths prOtectionists will come out of the fiery furnace. not csnonized but rremated."
 Lloyd George pointed to Americas millions of tons of idle shipping, which he said was due mainly to that countrys protectionist policy
 ''The Americans" he added. built on an element where no tariff could erect a barrier. You cannot put a customs barrier across inc Atlantic. The result is that these ships are lay ing up. saw them myself They are the jest of America at the present moment"

RIOTING GROWING IN RUHR;
 SEPARATISTS BOMB POLICE
Situation Becoming Uglier Every HOur-Germany Accuses French Troops of Aiding Rebels.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Dusseldorf, Nov. 1.-The rioting in the Ruhr is growing. Not only is the situation getting ugly among un- employed, but the separatists are en- countering violence on the other side of the Rhine.
 A pitched battle was fought in the village of Himburg, near Bonn, yes- terday between the separatists and farmers. Pistols and hand grenades were used. Before French troops were able to restore order the peas ants had suffered q loss of three killed and the separatists 15. with many wounded on each side.
 separatists and loyalists also clashed several times at Bonn and Honnef, and Tunisian troops were sent there to maintain order.
 Pillaging continued yesterday in Essen, Steele, Kray, Rothausen. Kat ernberg and Altenessen, and would be plunderers coIlided in the streets of Dusseldorf with the citizens patrols.
 Use GreDades Against Police.
 The riots at Essen yesterday are described by the French as the ugliest and most menacing that have yet occurred.
 Both the French and German newspapers report the first use Of hand grenades by the unemployed against the police, with the result that one policeman was killed and number were wounded. The casual ties among the workless are un- known.
 The trouble started in front of the krupp works in demonstration for higher pay and these employed per sons, joined by numbers Of unem- ployed, later tried to pillage the krupp Cooperative Food stores, but met with resistance.
 A battle followed in the Burgfieid- strasse, where the crowd dug tren- ones and erected har'scrscs. They then attempted Co aorn the city hall but were driven back by the police, reinforced by French troops. French armorod cars were turned out to patrol the streets. The French attribute the disturbances partly to the communists and partly to the na- tionalists whose unceasing activities arc shown in the anti-French propa- ganda seized by the occupation au- thorities.
 The unrest is causing many Ger mans to leave the Ruhr, and free passport vises for interior Germany are being given by the occupationers at the request of the Dortmund of- ficials.
