Am.tfrdnni, Dec. 13. I am Informed from an excellent source at The Hapue that tho (lernmn Government on December 10 considered tho Kaiser auction. After a long dis cussion It was decided that the CJovcrn ment, aB representing tho majority and Independent Socialist parties nnd the Soldiers' and 'Workmen's Council of greater Berlin, could not and would not oppose any demand by the Kntento that William II, be handed over to the Allies for, trial. As regards the ex-Crown Prince, tho opinion expressed during the discussion was even more hostile than that directed against the ex-Kaiser. It Ih declared from anoihf-r quarter that this deolslon has already been com- j munlcated to the Dutch Government. If, no demand be made by the Kntento bo-' fore tho meeting of tho peace confer-1 ence, tho Socialist paitlus will, it they still retain power, announce this derision at that gathering, and it Is declared that they will also suggest that ex-King 1-ud. wig of Bavaria be dealt with in llUf manner. Ludwlg appears to have drawn upon himself the especial hatred of the so cialist parties. It Is maintained that . le had a great deal to do with tho out break of thJ war, and Socialist opinion In North Germany seems to have or peclally turned against him on account of documents which nre paid to have , been discovered showlmr that long be- fore tho armistice he waa endeavoring , to set up a South Clerman-nhineland confederation, with himself ns its royal head and that it was his intention to open conversations with the Entente, throw the whole blame for the outbreak of the war on the Benin Government, Knd ro conclude peace at the expense of Prussia. Vorwaerts publishes the text of a telegram sent by tho Crown Prince in January to the Kaiser, who handed it on to Hlndenburr, requesting that the Frankfurter Zeltung, tho Berliner Tago blatt and Vorwaerts should ho forbidden at the front, as the bad Influence which the Journals had on the troops was pitiful. LLOYD GEORGE VICTOR Y TOMORROW ADMITTED British Election Issues Now Turn on Indemnities and Conscription Labor Expects to Increase Representation IT irctess to the Ik citing Public Ledger, lief that fabulous sums can lie exacted CoTiirloM. lilt, bi fuolle LcdBtr Co. and .Veto Vorfc Times Co. Ixmdon, Dec. 13. QOMI2 guesses are being made as to tho results df tho general election Saturday; but so many unknown fac tors enter Into tho calculations that tho best Judges hesitate to put their estimates Into figures. It is generally agreed that tho coalition will obtain a big majority over tho Liberal and La bor parties combined. How strong Lloyd Georgo's personal following Is remains tho subject of keenest discus sion, but at present the predominating opinion Is that It will ho small by com parison with tho Conservatives re turned. Ono prediction which is largely ac cepted as correct Is that a. considerable proportion of the successful candidates will represent the minority vote of their respective constituencies. Labor professes exultation at the prospect of greatly increased repre- sentatlon. nnd if the Asqulthliin Liber- I ais could poll a full vote these two parties combined would make a strong ' opposition. It Is expected, however, that many sincere Liberals will vote ' for coalition, owing to the Immediate necessities of the International situa tion, and that others will abstain from i voting rather than weaken the Gov ernment which will have to represent Great Britain at the Peace Conference. Much dissatisfaction is felt at the I turn which the electoral campaign lias ' taken. It is now being fought on points which the Dally Mali has ad- i vanced as its special platform and which, as Lord Norlhcllffe's paper re- i murks, were conspicuous by thelrl nb encei from the original election ad dresses of tlie Government leaders. i Chief among these points is the question of the indemnities to ho paid by Germany. Sober Liberal organs express regret that the elec torate should ho bi-gulled into the be- from Germany. Tho Manchester Guardian says: "Apparently Lloyd George thinks this Is popular. Wo do not think It Is. Often people will cheer a thing to tho echo, nnd when they como to think It over, recognlzo they wero misled and fooled. People do nt bottom love a statesman, not a cheap Jack. Some times Mr. Lloyd George Bhows the lineaments of one. sometimes nf the other. We could wish that the tempta tions of electioneering were not so strong upon him. Luckily, they will soon bo over, or there Is no saying what wo might not como to." conscription has also como Into the ho Is opposed to conscription, but in timates that future decisions 'upon tlio subject aro, dependent on tho Peace Conference. In tho popular mind the continuance of conscription Is linked with tlio Idea that big armies must bo maintained for the purposo of settling Russian dlfllcultles. It was tho voters themselves who forced the conscription nucstlon to tho front. Tha nolltlcluns had not thought of It at all till they began to get heckled on tho point. Of Interest In this connection Is tlio fact that Lord'Mllner will soon leave tho AVnr Office. Lord Northcllffe's Kvonlng News asserts that his recent utterance In regard to Germany made his departure from office Inovltabio. Beforo publication of his views It was expected that ho would bo ono of tho British delegates to make pence, hut according to the Northcllffc organ, tho nation Is determined to mako Ger many pay for the war to tho tune of 4,000,000,000, and Its representatives In Paris are going to get that man date at Saturday's elections.
