THE SOFTER WATCHMAN, Esu CONSOLIDATED AUG. 2,3 ELECTION RESULTS IN ENGLAND! Powerful War Pre mier Lloyd George Relegated to a Po sition of Minor Im portance as Leader of Small Minority Party London, Nov. 16 (JJy the Asso ?o4ated Press).?The long drawn out fight between former Premier Lloyd George and Sir George Younger for the time has ended with the vic tory of the chairman of the Un ionist party. Youmjer and his ad herents staked their political for tunes at the famous Carleton club meeting which smashed the coa lition and sent Lloyd George into the widerness on the conviction that the country was ripe for a re turn to straight party politics and in the firm belief that the: -nation would support their conviction by sending the Conservatives to the house of commons with a good working majority. Their confidence has been amply justified. Yesterday's elec tions have returned a parliament with almost the same overwhelm ing predominance of Conservatives as the last parliament elected in , 1918 on a wave of grateful enthus^ Sasm to Lloyd George as "winning of the war." In the new parliament Premier Bonar Law will command a major ity over all parties combined of ap proximately 80. While this can not be properly described as a land slide, as the Conservatives at the time of the dissolution of parlia ment numbered about 380, it amounts almost to the same thing, considering the peculiar circum stances of the time. and. the high hopes held "by the Labor and .Lib eral parties of . the return, of the country .to progressive Views, and it may be supposed that the Con servatives themselves hardly ex pected such favorable results. ? ? It means a parliament with lit tle changes, except that Bonar Law t-eplaces Lloyd George. as'i>rime minister and that ?h& fbriher pre mier's attenuated following of na tional Liberals reduced by the elections to tinder 50, will pre sumably henceforth be in oppo sition, instead of working in co operation with the Conservatives. The downfall of Lloyd George is the outstanding feature of the elec tions. The Coalition Liberals at the dissolution numbered 129; they are represented* in the new parliament by only 44 members. There will be many regrets among the former premier's admirers that he failed to take the advice of some of his well-wishers and re tire temporarily or altogether from the political stage. The Asquithian Liberals lately improved their position, rising from 34 in the old parliament to 62 in the new but they did not do so well as they expected. On the other hand, Labor, although it failed to fulfill the high hopes the party entertained at the dissolution, has done exceedingly well, rising from 76 to 136 seats. It is generally believed that Labor would have done far better but for the tactical mistake in its advocacy of a cap ital levy. While the strength of Conserva tism in the country is a matter of surprise, perhaps the keynote of -the elections is the decline of Lib eralism and the growth of the La bor party. This seems to show that henceforth the struggle will be be tween the Conservatives and the Labor party. The position now is that Labor is the second strongest party in the house, and in what looks as the improbable event of the present government suffering defeat in parliament, it would be to the Labor party that tKe king would naturally turn for a new premier. Another feature of the elections is that the women voters have tak en quite an unexpectedly strong interest in the struggle, their par ticipation probably accounting more than anything else for the exceedingly heavy polling. But, however keen their interest in po litical life, they do not appear to be in the mood to elect-women toj parliament, only Lady Astor and Mrs.' Wintringham. already in the! house, being returned. Estimates on the present distri bution of parties in the house of commons differ somewhat, owing to a certain confusion in party boundaries and the number of iso lated members representing inde pendent groups, such as coopera tors. Included in the Conserva tive group are 13 Ulster Conserva tives. There are ten seats in which the result will not be an pounced tonight, including some of the universities and distant scat tered Scottish constituencies for which the results may not be ava^Jable before Saturday. There have been many note worthy casualties among the par ties, the most striking, perhaps, being the defeat of Arthur Hen-j derson, Labor leader, and Win-1 szon Churchill, former colonial sec retary, and the overthrow of five members of the new administrar lion, for whom safe seats will somehow have to be found.

To British For Pro-J tection From Kem alists Constantinople, Nov. 17.?Mo hammed Sixth, the Turkish sultan, has fled from Constantinople on a British warship for Malta. He declared upon embarking that he was not abdicating, but merely removing himself from immediate danger*. The sultan on Wednes day wrote General Harrington, the: British commander, asking for protection, saying he believed his life endangered. The sultan has been greatly worried over his status since thel Angora assembly voted to deprive j him of civil authority and declared that hereafter the religious head of Islam would be selected from the imperial household by the as sembly. The bulk of his guards wyent over to the nationalists. Dis patches said he was virtually at the mercy of the Kemalists. There have been rumors that he had ab dicated or would do so. There are J political motives in seeking his safety, owing to1 the millions of Mohammedans in the British era 'pire. many of whom dispute the j right of Turkey alone to decide the head of the church. Kemalists Seize Warship! Attempt Made to Get Away; With Interned Cruiser Constantinople. Nov. 17.?The Kemalists last night attempted to run the interned Turkish destroy er Akissar o ut of the Golden Horn, 1 disguised as merchantman. The * allies frustrated the attempt. The sultan was accompanied by his son and and six palace attaches. His final destination will be de cided when he reaches Malta. THE STRONG MAN OF ITALY Mussolini, Leader of Fascisti, fells Parliament That His Party is in Power to Stay and Will Maintain Order Rome, Nov. 3 6 (By the Asso ciated Press).?-Benito Mussolini in a dramatic first appearance before parliament as premier today an- j nounced his foreign and internal j policies and warned his adversar ies that the Fascisti government had come to stay. He affirmed its strength to ehforce law and order against one and all, even against an illegal coup by his own follow ers, and demanded full powers and full responsibilities. The Fascisti leader proclaimed a policy of action, not words. He himself set an example, for he spoke for only half an hour and was frequently applauded and cheered. The Socialists and Communists, numbering 118, who have greeted every succeeding government with violent and noisy demonstration of opposition, sat in the chamber to day silent and subdued. Old lead ers like Giolitti. Orlando. Salan dra. Facta and Bonomi saw their power wrested from them* they were relegated to second place without uttering a single objec tion and some of them were among the hundreds who congratulated Mussolini as he concluded. Santiago, Nov. 17. ? Revised figures prepared by the minister of the interior fix the dead in Sat urday's earthquake at 548. This is far under the earlier reports. The list of injured is incomplete. It now shows 837 with "innumerable" others in Vallenar and Chaneral. Three hundred thirty-three of the dead -are in Vallenar. Three more shocks were felt yesterday at Co piapo. secretary for Ireland, and Fred erick G. Kellaway, former post master general, were severe blows to Lloyd George, who, however, had the satisfaction of seeing his son returned by a big majority, while both his secretaries. Sir Ed ward M. Grigg and G. H. Shakes peake. were elected. Mr. Aequith himself had a somewhat narrow escape from de feat and his chief henchmen. Sir Donald MacLean and Walter Run icman, went down. .Maj. Lloyd George, the former premier's son. had an enormous majority in Pembroke, his poll be- J ing 21,569 to .9.703 for the Labor- i ite, Jenkins. But the Georgeite | Liberals continued to fare badly! and although Lloyd George was elected unopposed for Carnarvon, the Georgeite candidate, Maj. C. E. Breeze, was defeated for the coun ty of Carnarvon by the Laborite, R. T. Jones, by more than 1,600. A noteworthy return was the re election of the new pensions min ister, Maj. George C. Tryon. despite the recent agitation against the proposed abolition of that minis try. fttC "Be Just and Fear THE TURKS ! BULLDOZE ! EUROPE _ I Ismet Pasha Talks in' Arrogant Manner of Coming Peace Con-j f erenee at Lausanne) _ Paris, Nov 17 (By the Associat- j ed Press).?Before leaving for j Lusanne this evening Ismet- Pasha, j head of the Turkish Nationalist, delegation to the forthcoming con-j ference, said he had full powers from the Angora assembly to con-! elude terms of peace. It was ap-1 parent, however, that he was notj sure he would be able to reach a satisfactory conclusion. During his visit to Paris Ismet j has been much disturbed by reports j that the allies were arranging! terms of peace before the opening I of the conference and that later j they would merely present him | with joint terms that would not permit discussion. In many quarters there is ap parently much speculation as to the eventual attitude of the British if the latter attempt to confnue the| occupation of Constantinople or to restrict Turkish control. Thej Turks' freely assert that there is no solution other than war. . "My instructions on that point are absolute," Ismet said. "The! assembly at Angora reasons not in( terms of Europe but by its own | logic. As far as the straits are concerned we are indifferent.; Whatever satisfies the allies and j others interested will satisfy us." j Turkish spokesmen indicated that j if the British wish to retain their j present forces at Chanak and if the French are willing there will prob- j ably be no Turkish objection. One significant fact advanced in con- j nection with the possibilities in thej Anglo-Turkish relationship is that the Angora government's treaty1 with Afghanistan provides for an, offensive-defensive alliance against; Great Britain. The signers of this' agreement are obliged to assist | each other in the event of a Brit-, ish attack. Whi'e on the one hand Ismet is1 entering the conference with the | firm intention of obtaining a peace-: based in the main on the total in dependence of Turkey from outside political and financial control, on | the other hand he is prepared to leave the conference if the terms of the allies conflict with this in-1 dependence. Ismet appears to be entering the | parleys with reluctance, despite his' air of smiling confidently and cor- j dially. One of the factors con tributory to this reluctance is a1 secret distrust of British inten- j tions to keep the Turks embroiled in war. It is certain that the Angora j government will support Ismet in' any action for it place the fullest \ confidence in the intellectual powers of the man who organiz ed the Turkish army and led it to final victory. It was Ismet who I invented the national password:! "If we do not win this year we} will next year or the year after." I One of the hopeful intimations j that Ismet has received here is that the allies will insist only on reparations for property losses suf fered since 1914 by French, Brit ish, Italian and American individ uals. When it was pointed out to) Ismet that the allies would seek to i secure themselves against a fresh j German penetration of Turkey he said: "What applies to other for-I eigners applies to the Germans! and the Russians. We wish to live at home under our own guise, free from all illegitimate interference." Settlements Are Made! By Members of Cooperative' Tobacco Association Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 15?Many settlements on the part of mem bers of the Tobacco Growers' Co operative Association who have broken their contracts are re ported today by the legal depart ment of the big ?co-operative here. Two of the largest growers, one in Virginia and one in North Caro lina, against whom injunction suits have been brought, have set tled up out of court by paying damages) of five cents a pound and attorneys* fees. They have also agreed in writing to deliver all the rest of their tobacco to the asso ciation for four more years. In addition to settlements from members who have already been sued the association announces that many settlements have been ! made by contract breakers against J whom suits are in preparation and | that offers to settle on the part of others are flooding the offices of | the legal department in Raleigh. Not all of the offers of settle- j ment are being accepted by the as- | sociation, according to the attorn- ! eys, who state that each case is be- i ing considered on its merits and j settlements accepted only where it | is a matter of good policy on the ! part of the association. ? 4 *> Pensacola, Nov.

C, Wednes DEPUTIES VOTE CONFIDENCE IN NEW PREMIER Opposition to Musso lini Comes Frcun Communists and So cialists ? In Verbal Rome, Nov. 17 (By the Associa ted Press).?The Italian chamber of deputies tonight by a vote of confidence given the new govern ment of Benito Mussolini, the Fas cisti leader, placed the seal of leg ality upon a movement which three weeks ago was considered by the then ruling authorities as rebel lion and revolution. The vote was 30G to 116. Mussolini conquered the cham ber with the same methods he em ployed in leading his Fascisti legions into Rome. As the depu ties scattered into the night after aa eight hour session of the cham ber there were many of them, even those who had voted for the pre mier, who asked one another, "Will he prove to be a Sylla, a Cromwell or a Napoleon?" Prior to the debate Mussolini had announced he would. allow only 11 deputies?one from ea?h group?to address the chamber. Fifty-three members had desir'e*d to be heard. Hardly had tfce 11th man concluded when the premier sprang to his feet and began reply ing to interpellations. During the long session there were frequent verbal clashes -Ire tween the Socialists and members of the Fascisti. The excitement at times was intense. At one junc ture the deputes became so violent that the speaker threatened to ten der his resignation. ' The government during the de bate met with violent attacks from several of the deputies. To alt their verbal thrusts, however, Mussolini was equal replying sharply and to the point. As an injustice, when Deputy Turati, leader of the intransigeant Socialists, spoke of the abominable manner in which MussolinV had treated the chamber the premier replied testily: "I treated the cham ber the way it deserved to be treat ed." When Deputy Conti of the Re publicans said his party had three reasons for being against the new government Mussolini told him to relate one good one and spare the deputies from hearing the others. Mussolini prior to the vote told deputies that it was the purpose of his government to play fairly with all classes and to show favors to none of them. The minority vote of 116 came from Socialists, Communist and Re publican deputies and a few adher ents of former Premier Nitti. Seven German Slavs abstained from vot ing. The remainder of the cham ber balloted solidly in favor of the government. All the former pre miers present, including Sig. Or lando and Sig. Giolitti, supported the government. Hardly had the vote been record ed when Minister of the Treasury Tangorra introduced a bill asking full power from the chamber to enforce the fiscal reforms which had been decided upon. The dep uties, by a show of hands, favored the request. The bill will be re ferred to a committee of nine to be appointed tomorrow and will be come law in a few days. CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER Aspirants For Speakership of House of Representatives Hard at Work Columbia, Nov. 17.?Interest in the race for the speakership of the House of Representatives of the South Carolina legislature, though the election is nearly two months off, is growing keen. There are two candidates in the running: both are making statewide cam paigns, and both, it is predicted, will make strong races. They are Col. Edgar A. Brown, of Barnwell, and "Tommy" McMillan of Char leston. The friends of both pre dict their success. The Barnwell People, published in Barnwell, this week predicts the election of Mr. Brown, saying that his election is "generally conced ed." Friends of Mr. McMillan are equally as confident in predicting his success. Mr. Brown is chairman of the state democratr'c executive commit tee, and this honor is taken as omen of his election to the speak ership. Mr. McMillan, his friends point out. has been speaker pro tein of the house, and his familiar ity with the duties of the office and his knowledge of parliamentary procedure insures his elevation. The members of the house, new and re-elected, are being canvassed by the two candidates, and eacli will come to the general assembly in January with his mind fixed, most probabiy. on one of the two prominent candidates.

I The trip from the palace to the quay was effected without the sul tan being seen by any of the I guards about the palace. . An au i tomobile which had been drawn up at a side entrance to the palace, ?whisked him to the quay where !a barge from the battleship was waiting.

California Court Makes Dras tic Decision Regarding Bible in Schools Washington, Nov. 9 (Capital News Service).?The* King James version of the Bible "is the accept ed Protestant version" and therefore j sectarian, the supreme court of j California has decided in an opin j ion just made public reversing a j judgment of a supreme court in j Kings County, which permitted the I Selma Union High school district to purchase two copies of the Bible for the school library.

At the same time this decision was rendered, a prominent woman's club in the National capital form ed a "non-sectarian" class for the study of the Book held "sectarian" i i in California. A majority of th>? ' educators of the capital city, whether or not they believe in the use of the Bible as a foundation for public school study, are unit ed in believing that the King James Bible is as non-sectarian as a book can be. since it is the foun dation of the teachings of every Christian religion, with one notable exception, and its Old Testament is used i?i many Jewish synagogs. Many educators believe that the Sunday school and the home are the places for Bible study, and that religious instruction does not be long in the public school, but hold that the premises on which Cali fornia is keeping the Bible from the public school library is a mis taken one.

NEW YORK j His First Trip to This Country in Fifty Years New York, Nov. 18.?P-^or?"^ Clenmeceau, war premier of France landed here today. The steamship Paris was met at quarantine by the Harbor boat MacComb, carry ing the distinguished reception committee. Clemenceau was tak en aboard and landed at the bat tery. This is his first trip to America in fifty years. The tiger came as a private citizen but no ruler ever received a more state ly welcome. Thousands lined Man hattan streets and cheered as the guest and reception committee pa raded to the city hall for a formal welcome. The French ambas sador, Jusserand, introduced Clem enceau to the reception committee. Robert Wood Bliss, the assistant secretary of state welcomed him on behalf of President Harding and invited him to visit the presi dent. Clemenceau accepted. Re prying to a remark on his healthy appearance, Clemenceau, who is over eighty, replied that he was growing younger every day, and thought he would be a baby again in fifty years. Robert, Condon welcomed him for the American Legion. "You're a man I like to see," said Clemenceau, "It's thoughts of your men that count," CUT RATE * INSURANCE Insurance Ccsilmissioner Mc Mahan Sends Letter On Subject to Insurance Men Columbia, Nov. 18.?State In surance- Commissioner John J. Mc Mahan, of Columbia, today ad dressed a letter to- all insurance companies operating in this state and to their agents' supplementing instructions which he has already given, in, regard, the cutting of insurance- Tatea~Gtl certain risks, and discrimination by certain companies against others. The risks referred to especially in the letter sent today refer to cotton mill insurance, which when the mills are equipped with sprinkler systems, are at a lower rate, while those sections of the mills not sprinkler equipped are insured at regular rates. The letter of the commission er follows: "It has come to my attention that certain fire, insurance com panies, although members of the South Carolina rating bureau and bound to observe the fire insur ance rates filed with this depart ment for its members by that bu reau, nevertheless through a sep arate organization, the 'Factory Insurance Association,' regard themsleves as privileged to cut the rates on dwellings and other build ings that are owned by cotton mills. The provision of the rat ing bureau act. In section 13, ex empting from its terms 'property protected in whole or in part by automatic sprinklers' relieves the companies from obligation to ob serve a stated rate in the insur ance of sprinklered risks; but the companies have undertaken to ex tend that exemption to the entirely unsprinkled properties of the mills which place with the companies their sprinklered properties. "This is of course not warrant ed by the statute. These com panies assume a right not permit ted to other companies to cut rates to mill-owned properties. At the same time they give a lower rate to mill-owned properties than to individually-owned properties of exactly the same class of risk. This is the worst sort of discrimination. It is a rebate to big business. But if the lowered rate on that prop erty suffices in these cases, it should suffice in the case of the ordinary citizen, who is therefore being charged too high a rate. "I trust, therefore, you will file with this department and promul gate the same reduced rates for all like properties, however own ed."

THE TRUE SOU FRENCH UPHOLD POINCARE France May Act Alone If German Repara-I tion Question is Notj Settled \ - I Paria, Nov. 17 (By the Associat- I ed PrAss).? The chamber of depu ties thi sevening gave vote of con fidence to Premier Poincare on the j eve of the Lausanne peace confer ence and after a month of intermit tent debate on the interior and ex terior policies of his government. The vote was 462 to. 71. The entire chamber, excepting j the extremists on both sides and j the communists, Socialists and I Royalists, voted in favor of the 1 government. j The debate, however, was left unfinished, being merely adjourned for another month in order to leave the premier free to occupy himself with the Lausanne confer ence. j M. Poincare virtually gave notice j that a* final agreement on repara ? tions must come from Brussels in December or the French would take their own measures. He said there could be no reduction of the French share of German repara tions unless it was in the form of a transfer of a part of Germany's debt to France to the creditors of France and that there could be no j moratorium without effective guarantees.' j "Germany has worn out the pa 1 tienee of her creditors," the* pre mier said. Reviewing the whole j reparations question once more, in {reply to interpellations, the pre mier said: ; ? "We shall never get anything j [from Germany so long as" we lim ' it our action to prayers and sup } plications." " Pressed by his interpellators to [ tell the chamber why the govern jment had notvtaken more ef.ec jtive action, the premier replied: f "We did not . want to do any \ tiling before a conference, which . we-invited and at which' the whole j problem of reparations, interul . lied war debts' and international tloans will be examined-. We are ?agreed with Belgium that the ? conference should be held, in1 De ' cember at Brussels and there we ' shall meet not only. ? the British, ! Italians.
