HIGH LIGHTS IX CAREER
OF LLOYD GEORGE.
Classed as a pacifist in 1901,
when he opposed the Boer
war.
As chancellor of the ex
chequer in 1909,. won the great
"budget battle" when he
routed the house of lords and
imposed heavy taxation on
the wealthy landeti classes.
Became minister of muni
tions in the coalition cabinet
in 1915 and was chiefly re
sponsible for supplying the
British army with high ex
plosives and plenty of muni
tions just as it was on the
verge of disaster.
As secretary of state for
war in the same year he un
dertook the great burden of
Lord Kitchener's duties after
the latter's death and or
ganized, with Sir Eric Geddes,
the railway system behind the
British armies in France.
Chosen premier December 6,
1916, he forced conscription
on, the British people, followed
the collapse of the Russian
and the Italian reverses by
rushing British troops to Si
beria and Italy and made it
possible for the United States
to Bend 3,000,000 troops to the
western front by reorganiza
tion of shipping.
Represented Great Britain
as one of the"""big four" at the
peace conference.
LONDON, Oct. 19. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) After holding the of
fice of prime minister through seven
of the most critical years of British
history three years of war and
four years of reconstruction David
Lloyd George went into the wilder
ness today.
This was the description In his
Manchester speech of his position if
the unionist, wing ot his followers
should desert him. Unionist with
drawal from the coalition was de
cided upon today by the meeting
when Austen Chamberlain, had
called at the Carlton club and which
was attended by the coalition mem
bers of the house of commons and a
handful of lords who were enrolled
in the cabinet.
Chamberlain Policy Beaten
The vote was 186 to 87 against the
Chamberlain policy of pledginng the
party to sustain the coalition and in
favor of a general election to con
firm its course. The meeting was
followed by a succession of swift
events, which carried the coalition
government into outer darkness.
Andrew Bonar Law will put on the
premier's 'mantle for a short term
of office. The king summoned him
to Buckingham palace tonight and
invited him to form a new govern
ment, which Bonar Law will under
take, although the state of his
health, which compelled him to with
draw from publio life a few months
ago, makes it a risky venture.
Unionist meeting NeceaHary.
Before Bonar Law can formally
acoept the premiership, however,
a meeting of the unionist party
ir.ua t be held to elect a new leader
to carry out the policy to be de
cied by caucus. This meeting will
be held within -a few days, when
Bonar Law will be chosen.
Between the Carlton club meeting
and Bonar Law's visit to the king,
it was a seething afternoon of
rumors and of group gatherings
among the political factions. Aus
ten Chamberlain first visited the
prime minister's official residence,
as had been expected, to offer his
resignation; several Under-Secretaries
and the chief coalition-unionist
whip, Lieutenant-Colonel Leslie Wil
son, had already informed the news
papers that they had resigned and
within two hours Lloyd George was
in possession of the resignations of
practically all the members of the
cabinet. He then drove to the palace
to tender them to the king.
Bonar Law Call Advtaed.
Mr. Lloyd George advised the king
to summon Mr. Bonar Law, and, ac
cording to custom, this was done.
While Mr. Lloyd George exhibited
cheerfulness to the few who saw
him and cheered him on his journey
to the palace, he could not but feel
deeply the verdrct that he no longer
commanded support of the majority

No Disposition Shown to Put De
partment In Fighting Trim,
Sea Veteran Asserts.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 19. (By, -the
Associated Press.) The United
States navy was not prepared for
war in 1917, is no better prepared
today than it was then, and never
will be prepared under the present
organization plan, Admiral William
S. Sims, recently retired from the
United States navy, declared here In
an address today before the City
club.
The navy department at Washing
ton bungled and mismanaged the
fleet during the war and since the
war there has been no clear indica
tion of a disposition to put the navy
into fighting trim. Admiral Sims as
serted. "The navy has not been properly
handled," Admiral Sims said, "be--cause
of mistakes made at Washing
ton. Tou know nothing of these ex
cept' what those in control at Wash
ington wanted you to know. When
I came back-from the war I could
have sat tight and let things take
their course or I could expose the
mistakes in the hope that they
would not be made again. , .
"Had I done the former I could be
walking along with Mr. Daniels to
day, figurately speaking, bedecked
with gold braid up to my elbows. A
congressional investigation was
made after the war and all the re
publicans were certain the majority
report was correct and all democrats
unhesitatingly accepted the mi
nority report. But the people as a
whole were not interested. There
was no one, no great newspaper in
terested enough to dig out the facts
of the evidence from behind the
great smoke screen of irrelevant
matter. ,
"Don't blame congress for Ameri
can unpreparedness. Congress noes
only what its constituents want it
to do."
Touching on the airplane and sub
marine in future wars, Admiral Sims
declared that the country which has
the preponderance of this type of
fighting craft will control the situa
tion, whenever they appear in suf
ficient numbers to overwhelm the
aircraft and submarines of the
enemy.
CHILDREN ARE RESCUED
Mother Saves Tots From Flames
, by Crawling Through Window.
LA GRANDE' Or., Oct. 19. (Spe
cial.) By crawling Into a burning
house through the bedroom window.
Mrs. Delbert Irvia of La Grand
saved her little children from ba
ins burned to death.
The residence, a six-room frame
building, caught fire about 4 o'clock
this morning, when the household
was asleep, apparently from an
overheated stove which had been
kept heated, due to the illness of
one of the children." Mrs. Irvin
awoke to find her room full of
smoke and was unable to reach the
children's bedroom while in the
house.
The house and contents were de
stroyed. Insurance to the amount
of $1500 partially covered the loss.

ELECTION TO BE TODAY
William F. Deegan and Alfred M.
Owsley Stand Out as the .
ading Candidates.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19. (By the
Associated Press.) The American
Legion, after a long business ses
sion, in which a resolution was
adopted severely criticising Brigadier-General
Sawyer, in spite of the
protest of the legion's hospitaliza
tion commissioner, A. A. Sprague of
Chicago, tonight entertained Gen
eral John J. Pershing, head of the
army in France, and made last
minute preparations for the contest
tomorrow for the selection of its
national officers.
. Out of the names of the multitude
of candidates for the national com
mandership, those of William F.
Deegan of New York and Alvin M.
Owsley of Denton, Texas, stood forth
most prominently, if the gossip of
the " lobbies and committee rooms
was "any indication. Both assert
confidence that their campaigns wili
be successful.
Alien Exclusion la Urged.
Neither man had anything further
to add tonight to his earlier state
ment on his stand on legion policies.
Owsley, in his report as head of the
legion's Americanization commis
sion, had laid stress upon what he
termed the necessity for "100 per
cent Americanism, total exclusion of
immigrants from this country for an
Indefinite period, correction of -alleged
deficiencies in text books deal
ing with the war, with the, result
that the Germans .have been given
too favorable a report."
Deegan has chosen as his platform
policy continuation . of the bonus
fight. Both indorse the policy and
the record of Hanford MacNlder. the
present commander.
Another name which continues to
be discussed is that of Joseph F.
Thompson, a former state com
mander of the legion in Pennsyl
vania. Peace Resolution Probable.
It was hinted tonight that a reso
lution, calling for definite action in
behalf of universal peace, might be
introduced tomorrow by legion
naires who are also members of the
Inter-Allied Veterans' federation.
Although the inter-allied veterans
formally concluded their convention
Monday, an executive committee of

convention to take what action it

CHICAGO, Oct. 19. Declaring that
"spirit . photography is a reality,"
"oniaa Grimshaw of Detroit, Mich.,
astee of the national spiritual as-
ciation, today tola tne orgamza-
ion's annual convention that "spirit
photographers are likely to become
prevalent in the future."
In describing the process of
photographing the -spirit, the
speaker said that the sitter goes to
sleep.
"This," he continued, "Is what is
known as 'materialism of the ec
toplasm. The ectoplasm . exudes
from the sleeping body and to com
plete its own form it picks up exu
dations from any others who may
be in the room. This spirit. body
then rises a few feet above the
physical body onto the. psychic
plane. It is then that the photo
graph becomes possible.
A' plan to -found a national cor
respondence school of spiritualism
was a feature of the day's session.
The theory pi "psychic glands"
was-"explained by Mrs. Mary T.
Longley of Washington, D. C. She
said they are an essential part of
the "chemistry of the soul, as real
as the magnetic line, which can be
seen like a beam of light, connecting
the etherlc with the physical body
at times when the spirit is wander
ing in unknown places."
WILSON MAY LOSE VOTE
Ballot Either in Washington or
Princeton Held Barred.
TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 19. De
clsion.by the Mercer county board of
election to enforce the New Jersey
election law of 1920, which provides
that a voter "must cast his ballot in
the district in which he actually
resides and not elsewhere," prob
ably will prevent ex-President Wil

Mr. Wilson formerly lived In
Fsinceton, which Is a part of Mercer
county, and voted in the college

according to the view of local
officials.
Mr. Wilson's registration has not

Governor Expressed.
COUNTRY WELFARE CITED
Victory of Democrats Would Be
Reflection on Harding Ad
ministration, Asserted.
Expressing confidence in the re
election of Governor Olcott and Con
gressional Representatives Hawley,
Sinnott and McArthur, United States
Senators McNary and Stanfield ar
rived in Portland :ast night to take
the stujmp for the republican ticket.
Senators McNary and Stanfield
placed themselves at the disposal
of the republican state central com
mittee, and W. It. Tooze Jr., atate
chairman, who met them on the
train, immediately announced an
itinerary which .will keep them act
ive for the remainder of the cam
paign. Senator McNary will begin
his speaking tour at Baker next
Tuesday and Senator Stanfield will
open his tour at Grants Pass on the
same day. ;
Election of a democratic governor
and democratic member of congress
from Oregon would, declared the
senators, be a reflection on the ad
ministration of President Harding
and the republican party throughout
the nation. The welfare of the
country can best be served, said
they, by retaining the republican
party in power.
Full Ticket Support Vrgrd.
It is for the express purpose of
carrying the party banner and urg
ing republicans to support the ticket
from top to bottom that the sena
tors have made the trip from Wash
ington, D. C. Whatever they can
do to cause victory to perch on the
republican standard they are Willing
to. undertake. The senators will go
over the state with their message
and give reasons why the electorate
of Oregon would make a mistake in
bringing about a change.
When the train from the-, east
rolled into the union station last
night Senator McNary was gfaeted
by relatives, who whisked him away
to his Salem home by automobile
He will remain there until Monday,
at which time he will have a con
ference with Senator Stanfield and
State Chairman Tooze before going
to eastern Oregon. Senator Stan
field will remain in Portland until
Monday night when, after the con
ference, he goes to southern Oregon.
Itlnerarlea Are Announced.
Itineraries announced last night
for the senators are: Senator
McNary, Tuesday, Baker; Wednes
day, LaGrande; Thursday, Pendle
ton; Friday, The Dalles; Saturday,
Astoria. Senator Stanfield: Tues
day, Grants Pass; Wednesday, Rose
burg; Thursday, Eugene; Friday,
Marshfield. Senator Stanfield will
be sent into Tillamook and along
the coast and Senator McNary, after
the eastern Oregon trip will go into
the Willamette valley.
"Election of Governor Olcott and
Representatives Hawley, McArthur
and Sinnott," said Senator McNary,
"is the right thing to do. It would
be a startling thing in the east to
learn that a state so solidly repub
lican as Oregon had refused to re
elect its republican governor and
congressmen.
"Election of a democratic gov
ernor would mean four, if not eight
years of democratic control of state
affairs. In that time, In the first
four years alone, many things might
occur whereby through death, res
ignation or otherwise, democrats
might be appointed to the senate.
The republicans have a slight mar
gin of control in the senate now
and a larger one in the house of
representatives, but there might be
a few changes which might cause
the control of the senate to fall Into
the hands of the democrats if Ore
gon elects a democratic governor.!'
"I am confident," said Senator
Stanfield, "that Governor Olcott
will be re-elected, and equally con
fident that the entire Oregon dele
gation will be returned to congress.
Oregon members of congress are
important in Washington. Repre
sentative Hawley ranks high on
the ways and means1 committee;
Representative Sinnott is chairman
pf the great public lands committee
and Representative McArthur, by
reason of seniority, ran kg high on
the naval affairs committee. There
is no better known member of the
house than Mr. McArthur, who is
noted for his activity and as one of
the soundest and most dependable
members of congress."
Labor of Congreaa Reviewed.
Reviewing the labors of the con
gress just closed, Senator McNary
declared that it had performed a
remarkable amount of constructive
work.
"And the republican administra
tion is reducing the cost of govern
ment, which rr.sans the reduction of
taxes," continued the senior sena

Some Person Takes Issue With
Director of Agriculture Job
Is Done Well With Tape.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Oct. 19. (Spe
cial.) It's "Mount Rainier" again on
the big department of agricultural
map in the main corridor of the
state capitol building.
Two weeks ago, painters, bring
ing the, famous map "up-to-date"
upon order of Director of Agricul
ture French, changed the mountain's
title to "Mount Tacoma." Director
French took the responsibility for
ordering the change with the state-nrt-nt
that in his opinion it should
never have been otherwise.
That somebody differed from the
director became apparent today for
capitol workers, returning from
lunch, discovered that someone had
printed "Mount Rainier" on a strip
of adhesive tape, sticking the tape
tight to the map over the space
where "Mount Tacoma" had been
painted. The advocate of "Rainier"
did such a good job that it is be
luved any further attempt to change
the name would damage the map.

, tionaries Express Willingnesr
to Leave Will Go Today.
Beaten, baffled utterly demoral
ized by the sudden and unexpected
offensive by the forces of the law
I. W. W. and other revolutionists,
gathered in Portland as a result of
the longshore strike, sought cover
yesterday and remained in hiding
while police squads combed the rail
road yards, the "jungles" and the
north end. .
The day passed quietly except for
the clanging of the patrol wagon
gongs as those sinister vehicles car
ried their loads of undesirables to
police headquartera Sixty-five addi
tional suspects were rounded up be
tween midnight Wednesday and S
o'clock Thursday afternoon.
Forty other undesirables, given
the choice between a jail term or
permanent exile from Portland,
chose the latter alternative and will
leave the city for unknown points to
the south at 9 o'clock this morning.
A detail of police will conduct the 40
to the city limits and see that they
are safely headed southward.
Day Busy One for Police.
Portland's police headquarters was
a scene of activity yesterday, while
officials made preparations to de
fend the city from the horde of
I. W. W. wanderers who are ready
to descend on it and "show those
people how a strike should be run."
Seventy-four additional policemen,
authorized by the emergency ordi
nance passed Wednesday afternoon,
were examined, sworn in and fur
nished with stars, arms and equip
ment. Eiot guns and Winchester
rifles in the basement of the head
quarters building were oiled, in
spected and made ready for use.
Clerks in the Ber'tillon rooms con
tinued to check the fingerprints and
the measurements of the suspects
brought in Wednesday night. Sus
picious characters, caught in the
dragnet, were examined by detec
tives. All day long the municipal court
continued examination of the 225
men caught in the raids of the pre
vious night. More than half were
avowed I. W. W. Those who were
residents of the city and who had
been working on the docks at the
time of the strike were released.
The recent arrivals the trouble
makers who were "going to show
Portland how a strike should be
conducted" were given their choice
by Judge Kkwall.
Two Alternatives Glvea.
"Ninety days on the rockpile or
leave town. Which do you prefer?"
was the invariable question of the
court.
"I'll leave," was the invariable
answer.
As a result of the court's work,
40 undesirables, I. W. W., who have
flocked to Portland in the past few
days from points as far east as the
Dakotas, will form a party that will
leave headquarters at 9 o'clock this
morning. Patrol wagons will carry
the exiles to that point on the city's
southern boundary where the Sou
thern Pacific tracks cross the city
limits and run In the general direc
tion of southern Oregon and Cali
fornia. Here the 40 will be given
their liberty. A detail of policemen
will accompany the patrol wagons
and will remain on duty at the city's
portal to see that none of the 40 ex
perience a change of heart and de
cide to return to Portland. It was
planned to send the undesirables
out yesterday afternoon, but because
a few of them have suitcases or
blanket rolls in the city it was de
cided to give them a chance to
gather up their property before
starting them to the south.
More Wobblles Gathered.
While yesterday's raids were, not
so productive of results as those
staged Wednesday night, the police
managed to gather up a score of
wobblles who had dodged the raid
ing parties the night before. Ia
addition, some 40 recent arrivals
were met at the city limits or in
railroad yards and promptly sent to
jail. One inbound O.-W. R. & N.
freight train disgorged IS wan
derers at St. Johns and another 13
when it pulled into the Albina yards.
The 28 were promptly arrested and
sent to jail on vagrancy charges.
Late yesterday afternoon six more
radicals were taken from a boxcar
in a train that had just pulled into
the same yards. They joined their
fellow workers in the city jail.
Other raiding parties gathered up
little groups ot wobblles at various
points In the city. The hall of the
Oregdn educational bureau, SS
Third street, and the I. W. -W. hall.
