especially into the case of Belgium.
The German peaco nolo is now under

ply the Premier will make to Ilethmann-
i'- Holtweg's peaco proposal and hit discus-
r !on. of the food prfblcm nnd the question
of man power.
. The temper of tho British people toward
puce was Indicated when a huge mob yes-
ttrdsy attacked Sylvia I'ankhurst as a
"pacifist." With a group of her sym
pathisers Miss Pankhurst attempted 10 hold
a "demonstration" at the East India dock
jrjtis to demand peace. An angry mob
quickly gathered, and rushed Mian I'ank-
bant and her party from their fet. Police
' latertersneo put an end to the demonstra-
tltfi, but a Jeering crowd followed the
iremsn to police headquarters, where the
balanced Ills mind, although he gave 110

It is generally expected Lloyd Qeorge will
PtiTO'A brief and comprehensive review of
'thi war In his Parliament speech, and will
i'eutllne what has' been accomplished under
i-1h)e old. regime and what he expects to ac
complish through the War Council.
Comment on the Incidents which led to
if the' recent governmental upheaval and
placed Lloyd Georgia at tho head of the
Cabinet Is not expected.
It has now become certain that sooner
than leave Germany In her present position,
with ability to consummate her "mlttel
Europa" (Central Europe) Idea, and also to
threaten India, Britain will fight to the last
fc smb. tinder present conditions there can
w no thought of peace.
Tee peace' arrangements now being pro.
posed by the German newspapers, Includ
ing tha suggestion to hold a conference at
Too Hague In January while the fighting
continues, simply infuriate tho public here.
Indefinably, but obviously, tho general
attitude In Great Britain townrd the Ger
man peace proposals has hardened
enormously In the last twenty-four hours.
The average man. certain of tha benefits of
puce, and somewhat carried away by the
opr at first, now seems to have made up

PAItlS, Nov. no.
In the midst of war France has evolved
new Idea for government. It has been
fittingly called "Suffrage for the Dead."
Maurice Unrres, a member of the Academy
and a man famous In French letters. Is
the originator.
M. Darren Is not only a litterateur, but A
statesman as uell. He Is a representa
tive for Paris In tho Chamber of Deputies
and president of the French Patriotic
League. Ho has tho further distinction of
having caused the creation of the "Croix
do Cluerre," the only military decoration
In France that ran bo awarded to a sol.
dltr or oitlcer for bravery and courage
cited In tha order of tha day by army,
corps or division commander.
Ita received me this morning In the
study of his home. 100 Iloulevanl Maillot,
Neulllv. lust outside I'arls, and In the In-
tervlew which ha so graciously acoordeif
ha explained In detail his plsn of "Suffrage
for tha Dead," He said:
"I am fostering a new Idea that I hope
to sea realised as I saw the Croix da
Ouerre realized. It is suffrage for our
uniformed dead. It only sounds surprising
because It Is 4e nouveati and less under,
standsble at first expression than the crea.
Hon of decoration forvbravary. Let me
explain U Justice and the true reasons for
Ita worthiness In being incorporated amtng
tha laws of France.
I.J3T DKAD HBItQBS SPKAK -
"Hundreds of thousands of youthful,

Why should their supreme offering at tha

aheuld not thtM brave citliehs of our Ile

and Interests through the ballot' There Is
neither logical nor legal reason that can
