LLOYD-GEORGE 11 AS RESIGNED
AND iflilTISII WAR CABINET
WPVEKek
Tho, \>qnl?i Cahiuot If, Accused, of
liming Bungled the Management
of tlie War and Dt?Mutlsfaction Has
Grown to Overshadowing Import?
ance.
London, Doc. 3.?The political cri?
sis has become acute. It Is stated in
well-informed quarters that David
Lloyd-George, the war secretary, has
tendered his resignation which has
not yet been accepted.
Premier Asqulth has decided to ad?
vise the king to consent to the recon?
struction of the government. This was
officially announced tonight.
Tho statement reads: "The prime
minister, with a vlev/ to the most ef?
fective prosecution or the war, has de?
cided to advise his Majesty the King
to consent to the reconstruction of tho
government."
Premier Asqulth left town yester?
day, but. returned this morning and
throughout the day :here have been
consultations and meetings of party
leaders at the premier's residence.
Mr. Lloyd-George had a long con?
sul! at ion with the premier this after?
noon. Other, visitors were A. Bonar
Law, a secretary of the colonies and
the Marquis of Crowe, lord, president
of the council., .
Perhaps the most important signi?
ficance was attached to the. fact that
Sir Edward Carson and Mr. Uiw ap?
peared together and addressed a
molting of the Unionist committee,
while the Karle of Derby, under sec?
retary for war, had a long Interview
with Mr. Uoyd-Georgo, . ?
It Is understood no official an?
nouncement Will be made tonight, but
that Premier Asqulth wiVl see the
King again tomorrow morning and
thereafter make a statement In the
house of commons In explanation of
the situation.
Thus far it appears no arrange?
ment has been made for Secretary
Lloyd-George to see the king which
would Indicate that at ' the present
moment there Is some prospect that
the crisis will be surmounted With the
complete collapse of the coalition cab?
inet and without the resignation of
Mr. Lloyd-George.
London, Dec. 4.?It was officially
announced in the houso of commons
thle aftornoon that there is ground
for belief that King Constantino and
the Greek government were Involved
In Friday's outbreak In Athens. It
was indicated that fresh pressure will
"be exerted In Athens to prevent tne
dynastic government menacing the
safety of the allied force In Greece.

MANY EXPECTED TO DECLINE
TO TAKiE OATH.
Washington Iii inks Attempt to Have
Militia us Main Defense Support
Unsuccessful.
Washington, Dec. 3.?It is estimat?
ed by war department officials that
not less than 500,000 members of the
National Guard in the different States
are affected by the orders of the de?
partment, the last day on which they
could express their choice between
leaving the service and taking the
new form of dual oath which binds
them to serve this government in any
land here or elsewhere, should the
need for their presence exist.
How heavy this loss will be from
refusals to take the new oath, de?
partment officials would not say to?
day. It is realised, however, that a
great many members of the National
Guard will leave the service.
It is only those members of the
guard who were not called to the
border for patrol duty that are now
required to take the now oath under
the national defense act. Men in the
militia units now in service on the
border will be required to subscribe
to the oath, but they will have a full
month after leaving the border In
which to do so.
Militiamen whose individual mem?
bers do not wish to accept federal
service under the new law, but which,]
do desire to remain in the State ser?
vice, could, of course, follow that
course but they would not, hereafter
Participate in cither federal funds or
equipment.
Opinion of army officers here is
that there is no doubt that the at?
tempt to make the National Guard, as
a federated militia, serve as a main
support in the national defense, has
failed. The Hay army liw contem?
plated* an Increase In the National
Guard of 400.000 men. Thus far re?
cruiting in the guard has meiely
Tcept pace with losses for various rea?
sons. If the guard suffers severe
losses when the new oath is required,,
as appears to be probable now, the
situation will be considerably worse
than before the Hay bill was passed.
Hereafter the National Guardsmen I
must "have 48 periods of armory drift
a year, Including indoor target prac?
tice of not less than one and a half
hour's duration each. In addition to
tai4 Indoor instruction there will ."be
Tilie^^WHnTBi

GOVERNOR PRAISES CHARLES?
TON.
Says There Has Been Mnch Improve?
ment In City.
Columbia, Dec. 1.?"I am very
much pleased with the improved con*
dltion in Charleston," said Gov. Man?
ning today In relating his pleasure at
having been in the metropolis of the
State last night where he spoke at
tho annual dinner of the St. Andrew's
Society. "I find a growing respect In
Charleston for law enforcement and
It is having a splendid effect over
the State," said the chief executive.
"This condition is bringing Charles?
ton and the rest: of the State into
close sympathy with each other
and there Is today a better feeling
for tho seaport city than has been
the case for years. Charleston is
no longer singled out for criticism,
instead the rest of the State is
proud of her and what she is do?
ing." The governor said he was
gratified at what he found to be
the situation in the city by tho sea
and he predicts a rapid expansion
in a business way as a result. "I
Hud people all over the State boost?
ing Charleston now because of con?
ditions there and they are also
pointing out the goldon prospects
which are before her in a business
way," he said.

BO?Y FOUND ON RAILWAY
TRACK.
Name "Y. PnwkJne" Written on Name
Plate of Coat Worn by Victim.
Rook Hill, Dec. 3.?The body of a
white man, apparently something
over 20 years of age, was found this
morning on Southern raflway tracks
near Catawba Junction. The body
wae horribly mangled, the head, both

The body was brought to Rock Hill

afternoon a party said he believed the
body was that of young Dawkins of

as th^.remains resembled a person by
that name. An investigation was at
once started and members of tho fam?
ily of that name have been notified
to view the body and ascertain if the
supposed identity is correct.

.that the people of this or any other
Southern community should not be

pest that only destroys one of the
hundred different crops that can be

One old man remarked that he had
at home 15 bales of cotton that he

LANK FINDS FIEL LANDS.
?Secretary of Interior Recommends
Withdrawal from Entry of Terri?
tory in Tutnh.
Washington, Dec. 3.?Withdrawal
from entry of 4 5,000 acre* of public
land in Colorado and 8 0,000 acres in
Utah, inc uding a part of the Green
river formation, which it is estimpl
ed will yield not less than 4,000,0 00
barrels of fuel oil, was recommended
to President Wilson by Secretary
Lane. The lands lie within easy reach
of railroad lines and it is believed
they will be exceedingly valuable as
a fuel reserve for the navy. Th-?y
contain shales which yield pertoleum.
In addition to heavy residium this
shale oil will yield 10 to 15 per cent,
of gasoline by ordinary methods of
refining and as a by-product will pro?
duce ammonium sulphate, a valuable
fertilizer, in large quantities.
The lands are In arid or semi-arid
sections, where they are of little ag?
ricultural value, but those good for
farming may be entered under the
agricultural laws subject to reserva?
tion to the govt nment of the oil and
gas in them.
Famine Prices for Paper.
The Federal Trade Commisiou has
completed its investigation into the
present abnormal prices for paper
and its cost of manufacture. Xo in?
dustry is more seriously threatened
by the extravagant rise in the prices
of ruw materials than the printing
and publishing business. Periodicals
other than newspapers, for instance,
must suddenly pay, in 1917, from 75
to 100 per cent, more for their ra^
material?paper?than in any year
for the last decade. The Trade Com?
mission report in its remarks on'the
mill costs of paper manufacture made
the striking statement that during
the first half of 1916, when the price?
of paper to the consumer were soar?
ing, the cost of producing the paper
was actually less than it had been at
any time during the preceding three
year3. This remarkable finding in
the face of claims by the manufac?
turers that the prices of their raw
materials had risen extravagantly, is
explained simply and finally by the
following facts: The ingredients for
which the mill had to pay higher
prices made up only a small percen?
tage oft the aggregate cost factors;
and that disadvantage was more than
"sttW5t^aTway T>y~the great cost reduc?
tions resulting from operating th>j
mills twenty-four hours a day six
days in the week, with every pound
of paper sold without effort or ex?
pense to clamoring buyers. In spite
of this fortunate situation of, the pa?
per makers, buyers of newsprint not
protected by contract arrangements
have had to pay as high is six anc,
even seven cents a pound for paper
that would have cost them under
like conditions in 1914 less than
three cents. The Trade Commission
finds that the 1916 mill cost of pro?
ducing this news-print paper is about
l'.6fl cents;?From "The Progress of
the World," In the American Review

Olanta, Dec. 3.?A marriage last
Thursday afternoon of considerable
