LLOYD GEORGE MAY
BECOME DICTATOR
War Council Plan Will
Qreatly Strengthen Brit
" ish Premier's Power
TENSION MUCrf ABATED
LONDON. Nov. IB. Premier Lloyd
George will virtually become a dictator with
the, etahllhmit of the Inter-Allied war
council, nccordlng to well-Informed opinion
today. At the samo time It was said on
good authority there was no chnnco for
Lloyd Ocorgo having his position as
Premier shaken by debate In Commons on
the war council plan next Monday.
Tension over tho proposed council had
abated somewhat today, but the political
situation Is still threatcnlr.ir
"There -may be Temarknble developments
before, the !" of the vMr" was the pre
diction made today by tho parliamentary
correspondent of the Chronicle.
The crux of the situation ns outlined to
day was this: When Lloyd (Jeorge made lt
known that a suprc ne war council was to
be formed In Paris for "closer unity and
better direction of operations on the west
ern front," u number of newspapers at onco
began."ntlack!ncthe scheme The details of
the council and Its real functions were un
known, Intho absence of this Information
the press Jumped ut the conclusion th.it
politics would pl.iy a big p.irt In the fonn.i
tloti of the council and tears were ex
pressed that Chilian, without military
training, might try to dictate to the cl
cran olllcers now In charge of the Ilrltlsh
and French nrniies. Theso press attacks
led to a declaration In' Commons by tho
Tremler.
TKXT OF AaiUr'MI'NT
The text of the agreement, as ho gae It,
( as follows:
With a view to better co-ordination of
tho military nctlon on the western front,
a supreme war council Is created com
posed of the Prime Minister and a mem
ber of the (Jocrnmcnt of each of tho
great Powers whose urmles are fighting
on that front, the extension of the scopo
of the council to other fronts to ho re
i served for discussion w 1th the other great
Poh crs.
The supreme war louiicII has for Its
mission to Hutch oer tho general conduct
of the ar It prepares recommendations
for tho consideration of the Gnernmcnts
nnd k?eps Itself Informed of their exeeu
tlon and reports thereon to the respective
Coernnients ,
Tho general staff and military com
mands of the aimles of each Power
charged with tho conduct of tho military
operations letnaln responsible to their re-
spectlve (lovernments
fieneral war plans drawn by competent
military authorities arc submitted to the
supreme war council, which under higher
authority of government Insures Its con
cordance ami submits, If need he, any
necessary changes.
Kacli Power delegates to the supremo
war council one permanent military rep
resentatle whoo exeluslo function Is to
act a" fchnle.il advisor to the council.
Military lepresentatUes rccelxe fiom
tho Gowrnment and tho competent mili
tary authorities of their country all pro
posals, Information nnd documents relat
ing to the conduct of the war.
The military representatives watch day
by day the situation of the forees and
the means of all kinds of which the Allies
nd enemy armies dl.ve.
The supreme war counrll meets nor
mally at Versailles, but it may meet at
other places according to circumstances.
Meetings of tho supremo war council take
place at least once a month.
Tho Premier's statement makes It clear
that the council will not have any execu
tive isiwer nor will lt curtail the authority
of the commanders and general staffs of
the British and French armies. All the
council can do is to make recommendations,
but It will try to keep In closer touch with
military developments than the f!oem
ments have been able to do In the past.
DEIlATi: O.V MONDAY
The council will he debated In the House
Of Commons on Monday, and not until this
discussion Is over will the Government see
Its way clear to go on with Its new war
plans.
There 'were reports that the British
cabinet might fall before the storm Is
.weathered and the resignation of the
French ministry seemed to strengthen
these reports. in this respect tho jlarlla
mentary .correspondent of the Chronicle,
who Is usually well Informed, savs:
The position Is very Blmllar to that ex
isting a year ago when disappointment over
the Rumanian collapse reacted very detri
mentally upon the Asqulth government.
However, the British cabinet had no more
responsibility for the Rumanian collapse
than it has for the present situation exist
ing In Italy, Membeis find It dlttlcult to
harmonize the Piemler's statement In
Parliament yesterday with his recent
speech In Paris. Where was tho Justifica
tion for the Paris utterance?"
The Morning Post, views the general
situation as "an alarming prospect "
If addition to tho friction caused by the
plans for the war council, conslderablo dis
content hns been engendered by the' de
velopments .In Italy. It Is declared that
France and England knew that Germany
was preparing for a great offensive against
the Italians, but that nothing was done to
mve the day until It nan too l.ile. It is to
be one of the objects of tho War Council to
prevent Just such eventualities in the
future.

MIGHTY FLEET NEEDED TO WIN, .
ADMIRAL BOWLES'S WARNING
Continued from rue One

Dixon, Federal export agent for the Phila
delphia district, and W. J, Conlcn nnd U
8. McKalg, of the Chamber's shipping com
mittee. Rear Admiral Bowles said that the
Emergency Fleet Corporation was burdened
with the responsibility of bul'dlng a great
merchant marine fleet for the United States
and that the vital necessity of this floct
could not be too forcibly brought home.
SHIPS NCCKSSARY FOR VICTORY
"You must rcallie," said he. "that all tho
existing tonnage under the American Hag
nnd all the tonnage which can be spared
by the Allies Is Inadequate for the task
already laid upon It, even though the army
takes hut a small fraction of It Tho path
of the United States In the war depends
uppn the creation of new ships.
"The Fleet Corporation has placed con
tracts for weoden ships, about 400 In num
ber, with an nggregato dead weight tonnago
of 1.E00.000 tons. It has placed contracts
for the construction of something more than
4 00 steel ships, with n dead u eight tonnage
of nbout 3,000,000 tons. It has taken over
all vessels now building In American ship
yards under private contract, for United
States contract and I trust they will
always remain under tho I'nlteil States
ll.ig and these, numbering about 100 have
an aggregate tonnage of about 1 000.000
tons. The total, of vessels In various stages
of completion. Is now about 7.500 000 tons
"The wtMnlen .hip, rnntrutteil ftir lllnler
n prttfcnini trn In hnt-, i(ntrnvrry and
trouble, will. In mj opinion, fontlnue to Kite
trouble throughout tlirlr el-tenie. The
first steel vessel ordered bv the Government
Is now Hearing completion
"Tho shipbuilders of the t'nllcd States,
which will have In IMS but one customer
the people of the I'tilled States, dealing
through the Emergency Fleet Convention
and the Navy Department arc c.illed upon
to prodili e ten or twelve times the product
that they ever prodmed befme When
you consider that the shipbuilding Industry
has never been profitable nnd that tho
shipbuilders are now called upon to adopt
the nuthods of other Industries which have
been profitable. ou cm realize, the Im
mensity of tho dlfllcultles In their way.
GREAT DEMAND FOR WORKMEN
"The Emergency Fleet Corporation Is now
dealing with 116 shipyards, of whom not
half havo tho amount of labor they need
From 200,000 to 250,000 new workers must
be engaged to complete the tonnage needed
In 1918. The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has created an Industrial service depait
merit and is In communication with all the
shipyards In regard to the men they will
need Tjiey report u total of 75,000 men
now emplojed and that they will need an
additional 80,000 by January, but that they
have had no trouble In getting them In
view of tho fact that their own returns
show that they have been loilug emploves
at the rate of 225,000 ye.ir, however. It
Is dear that they must employ three. times
the number they now have In order to main
tain their forco without loss Thn prob
lem is to build up the 100,1)00 men of today
to th3 200,000 needed at the beginning of
ID IS.
"Many shipyards apparently keep no rec
ords In regard to their labor. Few have a
central employment iigencj-. None seem
to know why this enormous number of dis
charges has to be made. I am not criti
cizing the shipbuilders, I am apologizing
for them. Who can blame them, when
their 'hiring and firing' Is done by fore
men already harassed by more than they
can do?
"But the Emergency Fleet Corporation
has pointed out to them that they cannot
be permitted to bid agilnst each other for
labor and steal men from each other It
has pointed out that the available talent
must bo uniformly and Justly distributed.
It has pointed out that the only proper
way to obtain the addition il men needed
Is to train the workers of allied trades to
become shipbuilders. These recommenda
tions havo been approved by the ship
builders, but still Ihey arc almost powerless
to carry them out I need hardly tell jou
tlnit therenri h1hs home people who
won't play the gume fair.
SHIPBL'ILDING SCHOOL STARTED.
"To provide this army of skilled ship
yard workers, tho cotporatlon Is establish
ing n sort of shipbuilding Plattsburg, to
which men will lie sent to be trained and
to train others. We believe that within the
next six months wo will havo created
nearly OO.Oflu skilled workers for the ship
yards in this way.

Citizens of Honesdale Buy Flag for
Snyder, Who Showed .Patriotism,
Though Sightless
HONESDALE, Pa. Nov. IB Myron T.
Snyder, of this town, lost his sight home
years ago, but he retains hla fighting spirit
This was apparent at Rose's grocery store
the other night, when Snyder knocked down
Dan Kuhu, a six-footer of Adella, after
Kuhn said that tho Kaiser is the biggest
man In tho world.
"The Kaiser has licked thn whole world,
and this country has got to go down,"
Kuhn Is reported as telling the blind man.
"No, but you'll go down." Snyder Inter
rupted, as lie got range on Kuhn's Jaw
through the sound of his voice. And with
a well-directed blow. Snyder let go, Kuhn
went down. Tho tight ended there.
When news of Snyder's act became noised
about the neighborhood several of his old
friends got together, made a Jersey splice
and then wont out and bought a flagpole
and a flag, All of which accounts for "Old
Glory" being very much In evidence outside
of Snyder's home.
