BY LLOYD GEORGE
Liberal Leaders UnempIoy-
ment Policy Called "Stunt"
by Labor Party.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 18.---With five by
elections being decided this week,
former Premier David Lloyd George,
Liberal leader, Is hurrying from con-
stituency to constituency preaching his
| unemploy nent policy. Labor attacks it
as mere "stunt" and the Conserva-
tives call 1t policy of Ifs"
ut is blare of trombones. Our
plans are not for jerry building Ram
say Macdonald. the Labor leader,
charges. But he adds that unemploy-
ment must be the country's chief con-
Germ in the elections.
Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister. president
of the board of trade, declares the
Liberal party can have little more than
nuisance value in the coming gen.
eral elections. TO Lloyd Georges claim
that he can reduce unemployment to
normal within two years, Walter
Runciman. former Liberal Minister. de-
murs that there is no scheme under the
sun which can fructify in the imme-
date future.
Makes Whirlwind Tour.
But the Liberal leader sweeps across
the country. He made a whirlwind
tour of Eddisbury, the scene of ono Of
this weeks by-elections. speaking at 10
meetings In single day. From Eddis-
bury he jumped to his own mountain

he campaigned in Welsh From Car
narvon he is now turning to Holland
with Boston where he will speak on
Wednesday in another by-eleCtion CAM
paign.
His unemployment speech in the form
of a siX-penny pamphlet is meeting with
ready sale everywhere. In yesterdays
issue of the Observer the editor, j. L..
Garvin, describes Lloyd Georges policy
as belonging to the same world of imag-
nation as the house that Jack built.
But he adds that 1t Is one of the best
briefs for candidates ever drawn up In
British elections.
Most Vivid Proposition.
"The policy stands out as the most
vivid and definite single proposition put
forward in the contest" Mr.. Garvin
writes. Mr. Lloyd Georges vigorous.
gripping spirit in his attitude toward
unemployment answers to the spirit OF
the nation more surely than anything
he has stood for since the war" Mr..
Garvin goes on to complain that the
ministerial dizziness is like process
sional dead march in anticipation of
ones own funeral"
There Is no rousing appeal, no ring
ing leadership" he adds. There are no
fighting orders. Safeguarding and i'm
perial preference are muffied cries. They
go OH talking of derating to democratic
millions who have never seen the rating

There is no telling phrase for the hour
and no kindling policy for the future"
Premier Baldwin will take up the
challenge thrown down by Lloyd
George in his unemployment program
in a speech at Leicester on Thursday.

BY the Associated Press.
Brig. Gen. Moseley has been ordered
TO Columbus. NJ Mex, to look into condi-
lions at that border point. and platoon,
of Infantry has been started there from
Fort Bliss.
Mai. Gen. LaSSiter, commanding the
Sth Army Corps at Fort Sam Houston
Tex, informed the War Department to-
day of the orders issued to Gen. Moseley
and the platoon, which is under com
mand of Capt Andrew J. Wynne. The
general described his orders as precau-
tionary steps. There had been nc
previous reports here Of any unsual
conditions at Columbus.
The New Mexico town was the scene in
1915 of the raid by the rebel Gen. Fran

the sending into Mexico OF Gen. Perish

u. S. Considers Policy.
AS the center of the Mexican revo-
lutionary activity progresses northward
toward the United States boundary
American officials are giving close at
tention to policies with respect to
rebels who may strike for safety in this
country.
While no formal announcement has
been made of the American policy, there
was a suggestion that. In addition to
OBTAINING any rebels who may cross the
boundary, steps might be taken to keep
them out of this country.
Some movements OF American troops
in Arizona and New Mexico have been
noted, and 1t was presumed that this
was intended to back up American i'm
migration officials In scrutinizing the
rights of any one attempting to come
into the United States, and also to sup
port the local authorities in preventing
return of any rebels who might succeed
in getting through.
No Alarm for Americans.
As to the safety of American lives In
the battle zones, State Department OFF,
Gals are not expressing much concern.
Secretary Kellogg said today that he
would always be apprehenSive of situa
lions that might arise out Of the killing
of foreigners but that generally reports
from American consuls have not been
alarming.
American officials in Mexico are pre-
sumed to have given citizens OF this
country ample information upon which
they could have taken steps to protect
themselves. and. while Secretary Kellogg
said he appreciated that in a civil war
accidents may happen the hope is held
that Americans will be able to keep
themselves out of difficulty.
Secretary kellogg conferred with
President Hoover today, but there was
no announcement. either at the White
House or at the State Department as to
whether their conversation had any
thing to do with the Mexican situation.

border was centered today upon the sit
uation around Torreon, where de-
cisive battle was expected, troop &C
tivity in the vicinity of Nogales. Sonora,
indicated that the revolutionary forces
there were anticipating federal at
tack from the west.
Insurgent forces under Gen. Falsto
Topete moved into the Nogales garrison

into the surrounding hills This activity
was regarded as a move against pos
sible attack of federals under Gen.
Abelardo Rodriguez, governor Of the
northern district of Baja California.
Rodriguez several days ago sent an
airplane from his headquarters at
Mexicali, Mexico, over the Nogales gar
rison. HandbillS urging rebel troops to
turn loyal were dropped from the plane.

The revolutionaries, anticipat.ig an
other aerial attack, kept sharp look
out for the planes. Citizens, in state
of excitement as a result of the bomb
ings slept little last night expecting mo-
momentarily the long awaited battle.
Gen. Rual Madero led the rebels i'll
their victory at San Pedro. The rebels
said they attacked the federal columns
under Gems. Juan Andrea AlmaZan and
Eulogio Ortiz as they approached the
city on two separate railroad lines.
The main body of rebels attacked
from the front, while / 800 cavalrymen
and 500 infantrymen who had been sta
toned In the woods several miles away
swept down and engaged federal troops
from the rear.
Federals said that more than 200 men
were killed.
Reyolutionists reported that they
captured seven trains, 200 prisoners
and several airplanes. Last night and
early today rebel soldiers began arriving

When the federal plane appeared
over the city Sunday to repeat the raid
OF the day before, In an attempt TO blow
up and wreck the train of Rebel Chief
tain EScobar the citizens scurried 10
cellars and every available place Of
safety. The looming Of the federal
ships. the Gathering, bursting bombs,

gunners as they trained on the DEATH
dealing planes, led citizens to believe
that several squadrons of air forces
were over the city. Business on the
main streets of the city was suspended
and soldiers could be seen.
