M'DONAlD FOES sTO FORCE POLL.
 NRUSSIANPACT
Conservatives Work For
 Defeat Of Treaty In Commons

LONDON, Sept. 7.-Premier Mac Donald has arrived home from Geneva in the midst of unmistakable prepara- tions by the conservative party to force him into a general election on the dangerous issue of the Russian treaty, which the powerful Rothermere press confidently predicts will be defeated in the house of commons. It is reported that all three parties are preparing for a general election and the political writers expect it to occur in November.
 Some observers believe, however, that both the labor and liberal party would prefer to delay the election until after the first of the, year in order to have more time to, solidify and extend their campaign organizations.
 In Touch With Trend
 The premier went directly into con- ference with members of his staff when he reached London and declined to see reporters. A tremendous accumulation of state papers and other matter has piled up while Macdonald has been at Geneva. He attacked these at once, but it is understood that he was in- formed of the trend of home political events as well.
 Rothermere has dedicated his many newspapers to the defeat of the Rus sian treaty and has begun to claim success for their efforts. Even the la- bor party would not permit Macdonald to sidestep general election if he should be defeated on this issue, Roth ermere insists.
 Elsewhere 1t iss plainly hinted that Macdonald will do his utmost to es- cape an appeal to the people on the treaty question. It is understood that Macdonald would like to employ some less explosive matter for campaign fuel.
 Charge "SVind0w Dressing"
 The ultra-conseryative press is work ing itself into a tantrum over Mac Donald's window dressing" of home and foreign affairs, alleging that the premier has achieved some admittedly pleasing effects which belle the truth If labor should determine to escape an appeal to the country on the treaty question after being defeated in com. mons, the opposition would attempt to destroy public confidence in the gov ernment by stressing the steady in- crease of unemployment in Britain and the seriousness of the boundary dispute between ulster and the Free State in Ireland.
 The conservative opposition is deter mined to force a poll at the earliest possible date in order to prevent the laborites from further consolidating their position by their window dress. ing" tactics.

AUSTRALIAN LABOR
 SCORES BIG GAINS

MELBURNE, = Sept. 7.-Labor's victories in Australia did not receive the check in this state that political prophets had predicted. Victoria, con- .sidered the most conservative state in the commonwealth, has returned labor in greater strength than any other party in the election now in progress. Figures show that labor is certain of % seats. s...-s.s--t- < E,
 The present situation here is: Labor, 20; Nationalist, 24; Farmers party, 12. The election was caused by split between the Nationalists and the Farm CTS Union, which governed under a composite cabinet.
 Queensland, South Australia, West Australia and Tasmania now have la- bor governments. In New South Wales labor is believed to have the best chance to win the next election.

DR. STUART SHOWS
 VALUE OF SMILE

"The Smile That Cost $2O,O0O" was the subject of a sefmon by Dr. George Stuart of the First Methodist church Sunday night, his first day in the pull pit since his return from Junalaska, N. O., where he spent three months for his health.
 In stressing the value of pleasantness, Dr. Stuart cited the case of workman who was crossing the street when he struck by an automobile. Rushed to a hospital, it was found that his face was so badly paralyzed that he could no longer smile. Testimony as to the value If smile led the jury to award him $20,000 damages.
 Dr. Stuart arrived in Birming- ham Saturday and an ovation greeted his appearance in the pulpit Sunday morning. His morning sermon was the first since he became ill early in the summer. .
