In the main roles. Rut whether it will be

He thnt as It may, tbc prologue was

when a resolution was passed favoring
the trial of Captain Jehnsen ferv al
leged Insubordination in his conduct
during a conversation with three Court

something in the nature of a bombshell

te net separately with regard te Rusla,
sin li ns is new reported from Genea, is
one of the distinct possibilities if Moyd
iterge sns dramatlcnllv that the Rus
sian answer is unsatisfactory as a
Ivisis of further negotiations and clove-,
the Conference.
T.lejd Geerge will be under great
temptation te de this, for Lloyd Oeergp
.it Oenea must be considered in the light
of Ills political situation at home. He
went te fiene'i threatened with the less
of power nt home.
The Tery element In his Government
h declining te permit him te call a
general election en the strength of hl.s
bilnging about the Genea Conference
luditnteil their weariness of his lead-
Hup. Failing te get that general
lectien he had either te score n pur
ees at ( tenon t hat is, reach a general
agreement with the ether European
i powers for the recognition of Russia
or thtew the blame for the failure of
Genea upon Trance nnd move forward
te n separate agreement between Eng
land and Russia.
If ln could net bring about the ac
ceptance by Parliament of a separate
agreement with Russia his government
would fall, but he would have nn issue,
n new orientation of Rritish policy away
from Trance and toward Germany anil
Russia upon which he might lead the
opposition with some prospect of labor
and liberal biippert.
Quick Shift Possible
But if Russia rejects the terms which
i hnve been proposed te her with Llejd
Geerge's approval, at Genea, he is
estepped from suggesting te the British
Parliament terms mere favorable. Ne
new nrientntlen of Rritih policy to
ward Germnny nnd Russia is possible
i under Llevd Geerge's leadership.
Tlic Hritih Prime Minister, if the
Genea Conference falls and he throws
the responsibility for its failure upon
Russia, must mnke n hasty olte face
i toward Trance. His enemies are al
ready trying te make this shift by the
wily nnd n.uIck-mevii.g Prime Minister
impossible.
I That is the meaning of Lord North-
I cliffe's attack upon Lloyd Geerge In
the Londen Times, charging him with
linking threatened M. Bartheu, the bean
of the Trench delegation, with the break
up of the Entente. Nerthcliffc has
seized the issue which he has been wnlt
lng for n long time nnd upon which he
I hopes te overthrew the present govern
ment. Lloyd Geerge, who denies the Londen
Times story, will in any event be placed
I in the position of having imperiled Angeo-French
relntlens for the sake of nn
impossible arrangement with Russia. If
Genea leaves England with no choice
but te work mere closely with the
French, Llejd Geerge will be the last
man te lead the country.
Fall of LJejtl Geerge Foreseen
The prospects point te the brenk up
of Genea nnd the fall of Lloyd Geerge
at home, a fall which will leave him
without an issue nnd without a party te
which he enn turn, because the Liberals
and Laberltes distrust him nnd would
I only ntcept him perforce because he hnd
made their best issue, the bringing
i back of Germany nnd Russia into the
, family of nations, his own.
1 It will be interesting te see whether
he can extrlcate himself from this dl-
. lemma In the remaining days nt
I Genen.
Iij the meantime the French are mev.
ing tewnrd the United States with the
statement that they will be governed
with regard te Russia by the attitude
! of this country.
If Genea breaks up with the responsi
bility for fnllure thrown upon the Rus
sians u common policy net te recognize
Russia sepnrntely and net te heck ex
clusive monopolies or concessions In
I Russia is likely te be nrried nt tacitly
ler expressly by all the chief Powers,
except Germany. Te prevent the ex-
ploltntlen of Rusla by the nationals
j of any one country has been the aim of

731 cases, making a total of cases In
the district of .'11,214.
The decentralization program pro pre
icled by the Sweet bill calls for the
trnntifer of active and pending disability

allowed cases in the central office. These I
disallowed cases are forwarded te the
district offices upon request, and these
lequests are arriving at the central of

Our Fiftieth Anniversary
Upen the completion of half a century of consecutive business in
this city we take pride in announcing that
Wednesday, May 10th, 1922
marks the Gelden Anniversary of the founding of this estab
lishment. On May 10th, 1872, the late Samuel Kind
started this business in a modest way at 241
Market Street, Philadelphia. He remained actively
at the head of the business through its many years
of progress until his death in 1915. The business
is new being conducted by three sons of the
founder, who have associated with them a highly
trained and efficient group of loyal employees,
many of whom have been with the firm for mere
trim a quarter of a century.
We feel sincerely indebted te the thousands
of customers of the old days, as well as the new,
who have shown by their continued patronage (in
many cases two arid sometimes three generations
of the same families) their fidelity te this firm.
A cordial invitation is extended te all our
friends, customers and ethers te visit our store
tomorrow.
The honor of your presence will be greatly
appreciated.
