IvONDON. Oct. 17. (By the
ssociated Press) Whether Pre-

titration has long outlasted the
administrations of all the great
tatesmen converned in the Ver

peace, will fall as a secondary
effect of Mustapha Kemal's vie

result ' of Thursday's meeting of
the Unionist members of com
mons. s
In all political quarters in Loa
don today there was a state of
feverish activity, meetings and
consultations ocoupying the en
tire day. i
M.niter Returns
The prime minister himself re
turned to town and besides con
suiting with the members of his
cabinet, presided this " evening
aver a large meeting of Liberal
Ministers, under-secretaries, party
whips and others.
No report of tne proceedings
nas been issued but it is supposed
Mr. Lloyd George desired to as
certain how far he could still de
pend on support of the Liberal
wing of the coalition in the com
ing developments and in the ev
ent of conservative revolt against
his leadership proving dangerous.
Chamberlain Loyal
Opinion tonight seems to be
veering toward the belief that the
rebellious Conservatives will at
the last moment recoil before the
prospect of breaking with Mr.
Lloyd George, who. clearly still
retains the support of Mr. Cham
berlain, and that the latter may
secure a majority at the Thursday
meeting. It is understood that
should the Carlton meeting vote
against Mr. Chamberlain, neither
the Earl of Balfour nor Mr. Bon
ar Law would undertake to form
a Conservative ministry should
Mr. Lloyd George resign.
May Dissolve Parllmcnt

The political correspondent of
the Central News claims
to be
able to state positively that if Mr
Chamberlain emerges successful

Carlton club, Mr. Lloyd George

Van Gordon sang to a most ap-
preciative audience last night in
the onenine number of the Salem
artist series
Miss Van Gordon is not an en
tire stranger to Salem music lov
ers, many having heard her in
Portland last spring with the
Chicago Grand Opera company.
Her flexible voice turned from the
arias of Aida to the love ballads
and gave full and generous meas
ure in the matter of encores. She
responded with "StUle Nacht,"
following the German songs which
were given with almost perfect
accent.
When she sang "Man Lindy
Lou'' one could almost smell the
honeysuckle as she crooned the
charming lullaby. Other encores
given included "Lift Try I?yes,M
and "Let Me See Thy Dreanis."
The lyric swing of "The Hoad"
was mobt happily received, while
none the less appreciated was her
dramatic presentation of "Lor
raine, Lorraine Loree."
Miss Van Gordon closed : with
the aria from Wagner "Walkydle
ry, -mcn Drwugai
a most en-
thusiastic response from; her
audience. The war cry of the
' 1.1 ' J 1. A 1 1 ill It .
King t. aaujiuier, ringing wun tne
joy of the coming battle,- was giv
en in Miss Gordon's Intensely dra
matic manner. Miss Alma Put-
man, who accompanied Miss Gor
don, showed herself an accomp
lished accompanist and her j work
was specially remarked upon by
the audience.
Miss Van Gordon goes directly
from Salem to Chicago to rejoin

pany. Her concert in Salem was
given under the direction Of Al
