"The little Welsh attorney," David Lloyd-George, la to day the strongest man In Great Britain. That he will succeed Mr. Asqulth as the titular leader of the Liberal party, he already is In actual fact the head of the party, seems to be as certain as anything save death and taxes. That it was due to the personality of the chancellor of the exchequer, to the confidence of the great mass of workmen in his absolute fairness' and honesty, that the great strike which might have ended in actual civil war, was averted there can be no doubt. The labor leaders in fact made it plain that they would enter into no parley unless It was, under the direction of Lloyd Qeorger . Bemaxkable Character. This,- man, who is regarded by many as the greatest statesman of modern times, is a curious admixture' of the idealist and practical man of affairs such as can be rarely found outside the Celtic race. It is the rare combination which can dream groat dreams and then can go to work carefully and methodic ally to make them come true. Witness the famous budget which for the first time In the history of a great nation has begun to put Into practice the theory of that other great dreamer, the Welsh-American. Henry George, that the "unearned increment" of land be longs to the community which creates it; the Insurance bill now before par liament which will do much to lighten the burdens of the very poor: the old age pension bill, which has taken from the poor much of the terror of non-productive old age and similar measures. A Devout Christian. Lloyd-George Is an intense lover of humanity and a devout Christian. He can and does on occasion preach a pow erful sermon. His sympathies are all with that class of the community with whom life is a constant struggle for existence and nat urally, for it is from that class that he springs. The future ruler of the British em pire no ono doubts that he will be prime minister if he lives owes his success to his own tremendous ability. Pull or influence has not help him a particle. He has had neither. With !t all he Is a modest, genial gentleman with a personal charm which makes friends with all with whom he comes in contact. There Is no man in the cabi net for whom King George has a higher personal regard than this man who as a boy assisted his shoemaker uncle and who was as poor as poverty itself. "Adustrisl peMsm&Ker." Another man who has figured In the settlement of the great strike is G. R Asqulth, whose great services In the settlement of labor disputes have earned for him the name of the "industrial peacemaker." Among the triumphs of Mr. Asqutth's career as arbitrator, which has covered nearly 100 disputes, must be counted the settlement of the cotton dispute In the autumn of last year, of the strike in Belfast, when the troops were compelled to fire on the crowds and of the great dispute between the railway companies and their employes which nearly led to a general strike. A particularly difficult task was the set tlement of the music hall strike, and when the bootmakers of the Rounds made their historic march upon the war office, it was Mr. Asqulth who was selected by the army council to deal with them. As a result of his decision he was made permanent arbitrator of the district boot trade. tudjriaf loan Bui. Home rule will monopolise public at tention during the eight weeks of the approaching parliamentary recess to the exclusion of all other domestic ques tions, save, possibly, the demands of labor. In view of the winter campaign on the Irish issue, John Redmond and his lieu tenants count heavily upon the Sep tember visit to Ireland of the represen tative party arranged for by the Eighty club to study the problem on the spot. After gaining first hand information and opinions by a careful Investigation of all sections of the Island, the Eighty club will undertake a propaganda in Great Britain. Three weeks at the shortest will be devoted to the Inquiry, which will be conducted without respect to party, religion or social distinction. In Congested Districts. Particular care will be taken to learn the facts as to Connemara, Kerry and other counties where congestion and poverty are most troublesome. But Dub lin, Cork, Belfast, Galway and Water ford and Limerick will be "gone over with a fine tooth comb." Harold Spender, Hamar Greenwood, Sir Godfrey Baring and other aggressive Liberals of the club are behind the un dertaking. Originally the delegation was to be limited to 30, but so many appli cations to go were filed that this num ber has been doubled. What the club wishes to ascertain is the measure ,of truth In William O'Brien's contention that Ireland Is like ly to be plunged Into half a generation of uncertainty and anxiety by such a home rule measure as John Redmond is "wringing from the necessities of the English parties." Also what foundation there is for Sir Edward Carson'e prediction that "the Unionists of Ireland are not going to accept home rule from this parliament and force will be resisted by force." j ENGLISH ASYLUMS ARE FILLED WITH .PAUPERS (Publish' Press Lensed Wire.)

A wonderful theatre, opera house and circus arena combined Is springing Into existence In Dresden, under the auspices of the 8nxon mlnls Isters of education and finance. The building with Its wonderful seating ac commodation and its peculiar mechani cal appurtenances may In a few hours be turned from a concert hall or thea tre into a circus arena or even an am phitheatre Jn the center of which sports, horse shows or other contests may be carried on. The architect responsible for all this Is Hcrr Stosch Sorrasanl, a gentleman Who has had VftBt experience In the building of arenas and coliseums. For the building, the Roman amphitheatre also forms the ground scheme; but at one side of the vast arena with its tiers of seats, situated eccentrically like a smaller circle within the circumfer ence of a larger circle, an enormous dome 36 yawls in diameter is being built. Beneath this dome will be an ordinary theatre stage with all the usual equipment, while a hidden orchestra will divide the front of the stage from the arena floor. Thus one day the open ring may be occupied by the tumbling clowns and performing elephants In the circus. The next day, the arena floor may be sunk a few Inches by hydraulic machinery, the fantenils extended right across tha orchestra and Wagner opera may be played before 6000 people. As soon as Lohengrin and his swan have disap peared, the fautenlls can be cleared away and the arena floor steps will rise to the highest point bf the stage. Here the singers and musicians of the Ninth Symphony can be provided with an ideal resting place or Mark An tony from the steps of the capltol on the stage itself, can look down over all Rome to the outside limits of the arena floor. The magnificent possibilities of this mountain-like show place have Induced Herr Relnhardt, the famous organizer of pageants, to Join forces with Herr Stosch and Dresden, In the future, will witness some of the moBt colossal of spectacular productions. For instance, the three storied "Faust Heaven. Earth and Hell" will be produced here on a scale which has hitherto been impossi ble. GERMAN ARMY PERFECT AMERICAN OFFICERS SAY (Publishers' Press Lessed Wire.) Berlin, Sept. 2. The American army offiCera sent to study the German army maneuvers have been the recipients of marked attention by the kaiser and the best In Berlin society. Everything pos slble has been done to make their stay in Berlin pleasant They are Brigadier General E. A. Garllngton, Inspector general of the army; Brigadier General W. W. Wetherspoon, president of the Army War College, and Captain M. E. Hanna of the Third cavalry. General Garllngton said the other day, "The German army is a splendid fighting machine. The organization and disci pline seems to be as nearly perfect as Is humanly possible. "Nothing could be added to the oour- tesy, I may say cordiality, with which we have been received in Germany. The kaiser la a wonderful man. I think he will go into history as one of Ger many's greatest sovereigns."

Stewart London Correspondent ' of the, j United Press. i (United Press Leased Wire.) . London, Kept. 2. Do strikes pay? "'In England, yes," answered "Honest Jack Jones," of the Dockers' unlorl, who managed tho big strike of dockworkera in London recently. v "In America," he continued, "the the ory and practices of unionism are . as well, or perhaps better understood, by the employers as by the employes. There are federations of masters as well as of men, and the opposing forces, equally well organized and each fight ing selfishly, equalize conditions In the labor world. "We have employers' federations In England, too, which operate satisfac torily enough In times of industrial peace. But the English employer Is, after all, old fashioned, and though he Is quite as selfish as the American em ployer, he does not take the American's wide view of unionism. So, when his brother employer's factory is tied up by a strike, ho cannot resist the temp tation to take advantage of the let ter's misfortune. He cannot forget that that brother employer Is his busi ness rival. Consequently, he cuts in and gets as much as possible of his rival's business and as many as he can of his best men. That Isn't good unionism and it helps the employes to win strikes." Strikers Usually Win. With 1911 only a little more than half over, a review of the year thus far, a record In the number of Its Industrial strugglers, shows that the strikers have won In almost every in stance. In 1909 2,760,000 days were lost in Great Britain through strikes and lockouts. In 1910, 9,760,000 days were lost, In the first six months of 1911 more than 10,000,000 days were lost and the biggest strike of all is In progress. The number of strikers and of men involved In them during this period are shown In the following schedule: January, disputes 36.. involving 13,631 workers; February, disputes 43, involv ing 25,223 workers; March, disputes 41, involving 22,316 workers; April., dis putes 27, involving 10,027 workers; May, disputes 51, Involving 14,623 work ers; June, disputes 86, involving 96, 666 workers. Big- Strikes Wot Included. These figures do not Include the dockers' strike In July and August In which nearly 100,000 men were in volved, the railroad strike or a num ber of recent strikes in northern Eng land. Of the 200 strikes which have oc curred in Great Britain In seven months only one has failed completely a strike of 900 "pit boys," who brought out S600 colliery workers in sympathy with them in the North Staffs mines, but who afterwards re turned to work at the old scale of wages. The following list shows how some of the more Important labor disputes have been settled this year: Improved conditions in night shifts and better overtime pay allowed to more than 1000 scalers and cementers in the Liverpool shipyards. Given Better Conditions. Higher pay and better conditions granted by a conciliation board to 900 miners at Pontypridd, Wales, following a 91 days' strike, attended by much rioting. Safer props put into the mines at Burnley, following an 88 day strike by 4000 miners. Higher wages granted 1000 riveters in the Liverpool shipyards after one day's demonstration of their lndlspen- siballty. Shorter hours granted to 3000 Lon don compositors. Six fish porters at Hull who ' had been discharged for refusing to per form certain work reinstated by a con ciliation board following a two days' strike by 1984 of their fellow workers.

SOCIALIST SENATOR 'TABOOS FINE CLOTHES (Piiblhbers Tri-M Leuert Wln-.i Brussels, Sept. 2. An , amusing inci dent is told concerning a newly elected Belgian Socialist senator. The senator, being somewhat of an extremest, did not like the advanced Ideas of wearing an official uniform as one of the members of the upper house, when entitled to any official function. He claimed It did not coincide with his democratic principles. Being visited by King Albert at the palace ha declared to the grand marshal In a questioning tone that he would either 'appear In evening dress or else decline the Invitation.

RELIEVE TOURISTS OF MUCH WEALTH Americans Fall Victims to Schemes to Fleece Wealthy Travelers During Period of Coronation Rush. By Paul Villlers. (Publishers' Press Leased Wire.) Paris, Sept. 2. This has been a record-breaking year, not only in Paris but throughout Kurope, In the matter of relieving rich American travelers of their superfluous money by means not recognised by law. The way of the American in Europe Is, sufficiently hard at the hands of honest merchants and hotel men. He is considered legitimate prey, and the American price Is a very different fig ure from the ordinary price wherever one goes. All Americans to the mind of the European of the shopkeeper class re rich, and It is really a good deed to relieve ,hem of some of their super fluous wealth. This Is generally rec ognized.

Vienna, Sept. 2. For the time being at least the tension Is off so far as the Balkan situation is concerned. That Is the opinion of Austrian statesmen who have that business In hand. How long the present state of comparative quiet may be maintained Is a question. It will depend largely on the manner In which Turkey attends to affairs in Albania The condition of the Albanians Is desperate yet. Food Is scarce, and with the approach of winter there Is grave danger of widespread starvation. Whether the steps being taken to meet this condition will be sufficient to tide the Albanians over the winter, replace their destroyed honres and scattered flocks Is a question. If the reforms promised by the Turks are earned out in good faith, there probably will be no further disorders. If not, then .there Is bound to be a recurrence of the disorders of the past few months on a more desperate and widespread scale. The attempt to disarm the Albanians has been farclral. A few practically absolcte rifles have been turned In, but there is hardly a mountaineer who has not a model rifle and a good stock of ammunition laid by. They are Intensely suspicious of the Turks and It would take Jfery little to start the flames of revoration. It Is understood that King Nicholas of Montenegro has informed both Aus tria and Russia that in case of a re nowal of the troubles it will be abso lutely Impossible to restrain the Mon tenegrins. From Sofia comes the same note of -yarning as to the Bul garians. There are close observers here who regard the situation in the Balkans as full of danger to the peace of Europe as it ever has been. They believe there will be comparative peace until the spring perhaps, but after that they look for real warfare which it will be be yond the power of tre powers to con trol. t paying especial attention to the Amer icans. The polios have been busy look ing after Jewel robberies, the victims being Americans. It has been developed that there la a regular organization for the purpose of carrying out these rob beries. It Includes clerks In Jewelry stores and hotel employes. The method Is for the clerk to tip off the hotel servants when a particularly valuable purchase has been mads. The servants do the rest. In the combination are also included expert thieves, who are called In when the hotel servants are unable to learn the tricks. Pickpockets swarm In the districts frequented by Americans and the Apaches are beginning to pay atten tlon to the "show slums" patronized by Americans and frequent crimes of vio lence are reported to the police. Scouts for crooked gambling clubs swarm the hotel lobbies on the lookout for communications. When caught they are steered against games at which they haven't the slightest chance of winning, and if in an excess of caution thev get away with anv of their money knockout drops or actual holdups sup plement the games. Chicago, New York, New Orleans or San Francisco in their palmiest days of wide, openness had nothing on Tarls as it Is today.

POPE INDIFFERENT TO COMING DEATH Holy Father Cares Not to Pro long His Life Under Strain of Work. By Clement J. Barrett. (TublUhfrs- Trrra Leased Wire.) Rome, Sept. 2. The improvement in the condition of the Holy Father is most gratifying, but there Is fear that It Is only temporary. As a matter of fact I am Informed that the most distress ing feature of the pope's condition to his physicians Is Shat he does not seem to care greatly whether he lives or not. Not that ho evinces any desire to die but he Is simply Indifferent. He follows the doctors' directions as nearly as possible, but It Is only In a perfunctory way. He has never been happy In the confinement neceRsary to the papacy, and when he is called away he will obey the summons cheerfully. It is this indifference to death which makes it improbable that even the best of care can prolong his life for many months. Cardinal Rampolla recently celebrated his Sth birth anniversary. He is hale and hearty and looks good for many years. The pope is convinced that Car dinal Rampolla will succeed him In the papacy and consults with him apparent ly with that idea in mind. Cardinal Rampollo In common with the other members of the Curia is suf ferlng from overwork, due to the re msrkably small number In the sacred college. As a result the responsible heads of departments are tremendously overburdened. Secretary of State Merry del Val has not had a holiday for eight years. Cardinal De Lai. secretary of the Consistorial congregation, when he goes for a few weeks into the country, takes with him a formidable pile of documents requiring attention. Cardinal Martlnelll Is overwhelmed with work. The Impression now Is that some, at least, of the vacancies will be filled in November. L L the International N.w. swtf. t London, Sept. 2. The naval airship at Barrow Is about to make its second ap pearance, this time to undergo trim ming tests preparatory to short aerial trips. Work on the airship was com menced two years ago; its launching was officially expected In June, 1910; the vcssscl was actually launched last May: It was then found seriously at fault, and has since, and for the third time, been considerably altered. The Barrow airship Is of the tight type, established by Zeppelin, but It embodies a number of improvements. The failure to succceed In the first launching apparently was due to blun ders In general design; Indeed, the bal ance of the atrship has proved to he in correct over and over aaln, find the distribution of cars and fuselage has had to bo entirely changed. Also, It has been demonstrated by hard experience that the weight of cars, engines and fuselage was excessive, and during tho past few weeks the gangway between the cars has been removed, and the cars have been brought closer together. Ever since the airship took shape in Its shed, the question of balancing it has been a difficulty. Two accidents, causing serious delays, were due to Initial miscalculations, but it is be lieved that the trouble has been over come. There has been no undue haste In the preparations for the trials now to be made. The vessef was brought out of its shee" last May. and was moored In, me nocK, so successfully Uiat It with stood a breexe stronger than anything that the Zeppelins have weathered, yet not as strong as reported. At any rate, it was satisfactory so far as it went. The airship holds 706,330 cubic feet of hydrogen, and the cost of inflation Is about 11500. Japan Is getting ready a huge atrship of a flmllar type, but 90 feet larger than the British vessel. Wild statements, have been published concerning this Japanese experiment, which is certainly going to give Its builders a lot of trouble. The engine power of the "Yamada Isaburo" dirigi ble Is said to be 720 horsepower, out of which a speed of 70 miles per hour Is anticipated. '' It Is, however, quite Im possible . to drive an airship of any known method -of construction at sue" a velocity through the air, "The weight must be strictly limited, and the giMv eat problem of construction la to givs sufficient strength to withstand air pressure at a moderate wind of SO miles per hour, "i . - NAVA AIRSHIP WIL SOON UNDERGO TESTS By Thomas Emmett. ( Publishers' Press Lt'O.ril Wire.) Dublin, Sept. 2. It is interesting In view of the near approach of the re establlshment of an Irish parliament at Dublin to know that the first parlia mentary body In the history of the world ' was Irish. This fact, known perhaps to Irish historians, but not to the public at large, was "brought out aTThe Olreach3 tas, the great annual literary, Asocial and . industrial festival of the Gaello) league, at the Art and Industries Exhi bition In the Rotunda rink, Rotunda Gardens. The ceremonies closed with a pageant representing the ancient Fel at Tara. Tradition fixes the establish ment of Fels at Tara In the reign of Olav Fola, about 7 B. C, and though It may not be easy to prove that OlaT Fola was a real historical character, and that he founded a parliamentary institution, thtre Is no lack of evidence In support of the existence of the Felsj of Tara In the early centuries of our era. It existed down to the seventh century of tho Christian era, and was,, to some extent, t least, a deliberative assembly, at which laws were made or revised, as laws are made or revised in the parliamentary institutions of modern times. Ttjere are many who accept the tradition of the establish-' ment of the Fels of Tara by Olav Fola. Honoring Olav Tola, How far the tradition has found ac. ceptance may be gathered from the fact : that Olav Fola Is given a place beside' the great lawgivers of the world In the decorations of the four courts. A me- dalllon of the head of Olav Fola Is worked In the dome of the hall of the Four courts between medallions repre senting the heads of Moses and Alfred. The pageant represented the Fels la historical times. Hundreds of perform ers will take part In It. It will show the Ard Rl, or high king, presiding over an assembly of kings, princes, judges, bards. Druids, soldiers, musicians, etc., dressed in costumes Intended to typify the dress of the period. The conference on costumes at the Olreachtas showed that no woman, whether she wants to be fine or merely to be dressed, need spend one cent out side of the country. There was the dernier crl of elegance and the most practical models for the humblest needs. The conference has resulted in the formation of a standing committee to carry this truth home to all the peo ple of Ireland that can be persuaded to take the little personal trouble by whTbh, Immense sums now heedlessly going out of the country may be paid as wagee to Irish worker.s, not merely, of course, to manufacturers, traders and "hands" In the workshops, but to the countless other employes that live Indirectly by the existence of great Industries. Ziarge Bams for Charity, Lord Iveagh, who on the occasion of King George's visit to Dublin placed the sum of $250,000 at his majesty's dis posal for the hospitals of that city, Is not only one of the richest of the king's subjects, but also one of the most , gen erous. The principal partner in the fa mous brewery of Guinness, Lord Iveagh, has given away in charitable purposes nearly 10,000,000. The ancient title Of Iveagh, which was borne by the Ulster clan of McGulnness in the seventeenth century, was revived by him on being; made a peer some years after his elder brother, Lord Ardlalaun, was ennobled." Farmlelgh, near the Phoenix Park, Lord and Lady Iveagh's Irish residence, was purchased by its present owner. and practically rebuilt at an enormous cost, and Is now one of the handsomest ' homes in Ireland. It la Lord Iveagh's hobby to live amid ancient surround- '. tngs, and the house Is furnished with -genuine antique furniture, some of It having been In a dilapidated condition when picked up by him, and skilfully estorea oy an expert in Dublin. Despite the comparative newness of the house, the architect who designed it catered so cleverly to suit Lord Iveagh's tsste that strangers invariably imagine they are In a very old mansion. The tapest- try hangings on the ground staircase represent at least $100,000 and the old china and pictures delight connoisseurs. Fleets of France, Germany and 1 Austria Ready for Ma neuvers.
