LLOYD GEORGE
I DEFENDS HIS
WAR POLICIES
Debate in House of Commons
Expected to Clear Up
Ministerial Crisis
By Associated Press
London, Xov. 19.—Xotwithstand-1
ing there has been a consider-)
able subsidence as compared with a 1
days ago of the excitement awakened
by the Paris speech of Premier i
Lloyd George, the keenest interest is [
shown in to-day's debate in the,
House of Commons on the creation |
of an allied war council and the pre- j
mier's recent utterances—an interest |
which has been heightened by the
conspicuous publication in all the!
morning newspapers of President
Wilson's statement, through Colonel
House, concerning the necessity for
unity of plan and control between the
allies and the United States.
An unusual big muster of members
has been certain ever since the de
bate was lixed, while an extraordi
nary number of applications for ad
mission to restricted gallery space
available to the general public testi
fies how intensely the popular inter
est is focused on the important sub
jects of the debate. *
Although it has been understood
for some days that tl)e premier's
critics have no intention of moving
a vote of censure, the government
has thought it desirable to issue an
urgent order to its supporters calling
upon their attendance.
Immediately after the daily ques
tions are answered to-day, the gov
ernment will move the adjournment
of the House in order to give free op
portunity to discuss the momentous
issues raised. Herbert H. Asquith,
former premier, will open the debate
and Premier Lloyd George will re
ply.
The Times editorially describes the
statement made by President Wilson
through Colonel House as "incom
parably the most important develop
ment for the allied council."
"It Is as guarded in tone," the i
Times ad(fs, "as it is comprehensive
in scope. * * * It emphasizes un
mistakably that the central principle
for which Premier Lloyd George is
standing—unity of plan and control."
Washington. Nov. 19.—President
Wilson's message to 'Colonel House,
as it is summarized in the Associated!
Press dispatch from London, amounts ]
almost to an expression ot dissatis
faction with the Lloyd George plan |
for joint war control.

R.R. REVENUES
VITAL PROBLEM
OF WAR PERIOD
Lack of Funds Imperils Na
tional Defense; No Longer
Economic Problem Only
Washington. Nov. 19.
Inadequacy of war-time revenues
cf the nation's railroads is no longer
a purely economic problem, but a
vital question of national defense,
George Stuart Patterson, counsel for
the eastern roads, to-day, told the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
his i losing argument for the carriers
in the fifteen per cent, rate advance
case.
He asked for a sweeping readjust
ment of prevailing rates to allow the
roads to meet soaring costs, serve
more efficiently the transportation
needs of the nation in' the present
emergency.
An increase of *97,000,000 produced
by rate increases granted by the I
commission earlier in the year, taken j
into conjunction with the supplemen- i
tal advance now asked. Mr. Patterson :
said, would give a total of $155,000,-
000, or a little more than half the
advance of *278,000.000 in operating
expenses. As a hearing must be had
for further increases, he gave notice;
that application will be made by \
eastern carriers for permission to
tile tariffs making such additional
increases.
Dominant difficulties of the car- !
riers. outlined by Mr Patterson, were:
Continuous decline in net operat
ing income, accompanied by steadily
mounting, operating costs; marked
jhortage in the labor supply availa
ble for railroad work; existence of
deferred maintenance when heavy
war-time traffic requires the highest I
standard possible, and inability to
raise new capital by issuance of
sto<;k, with a resultant impairment
of the carriers' credit.
"As the carriers are called upon,'
said Mr Patt s son, to meet competi
tion of labor with Industries whose
prices are regulated or unregulated,
or to meet competition of labor with !
the Government itself, the available
supply of labor will decrease and its
price will rise. And unless the Gov- i
ernment is prepared not only to con
script labor for the railroads but also :
to limit its wage, we must assume)
that the present cost of labor, meas
ured by wage and efficiency, will not!
decrease."
Coal bills of the eastern railroads, '
he said, had been increased by mil
lions and many roads were buying it
for less than the price fixed by the
Government. This and the excep
tional rise in the cost of materials,
were making it increasingly difficult
to provide maintenance and upkeep
he said. •
He estimated that in 1917 the east
ern roads will show a loss of $Bl.-
000,000 In net operating income de
spite an increase Of $161,000,000 in i
total operating revenues. This, he
stated, wculd represent a return ot i
5.2 per cent, on investments, which
Is less, lie said, than the amount the
commission in 1914 found .to bo too
small for public Interest.

Philadelphia, Nov. 19. The
Knights of Columbus seek to raise
a minimum of $3,000,000 to place!
recreation centers in every National!
Army ' cantonment, National Guard;
encampment, naval station and train- j
ing camp in the country. They have|
collected $1,500,000 in cash so far. I
The campaign is for an indefinite j
period, according to James A. Flu- j
herty, supreme grand knight of the;
order, lie said:
"When we say the campaign is to j
last for an indefinite period, we don't!
necessarily, mean that it is going on i
forever, but that when the minimum {
is received we are going to be satis
fied. If any one wishes to Contribute
after we have attained the three
million mark, his money will be wel

"We began o\ir work at the Mexi
can border when our troops were
there, a year and a half ago,
when we placed a building in every
encampment. The work was approe-1
ed at that time by many of the lead-|
ing men of the country, and when ■
we went to war with Germany we de- i
cided to conduct this campaign. One
million dollars was the original sum, j
and we started by assessing ourj
membership, setting $2 as the mint-i
mum contribution. Our intention I
then was to have erected one recrea- |
tion building in every national can
tonment. Our 400,000 members re- j
sponded so willingly, some Indeed;
promising SSO and giving SIOO, thatj
at our convention last August we;
decided to raise the sum to $3,000,000 i
: and place three buildings in every I
j camp. This has been done, and to-;
i day there is erected in the center i
j of every camp an auditorium, where j
I religious services are held every Sun- i
j day, and a clubhouse on each wing '
of the camp for the benefit of all the j
i men.
"This is new work to us, but the
| people are giving so willingly we are j
; sure that in a reasonable time we j
j will have reached the three-million j
! mark." N
Yesterday morning Mr. Flaherty
received a letter from a member of j
! the order in Dußois, a town up the,
| state, saying they had already re- ■
i ceived $4,500 and that before their!
I campaign is over they will have at I
least $5,000. In the same mall he|
