Arthur Henderson Resigns Post
After Disagreement With
Lloyd George.
(Continued From Pag? OnO
planation of his " mission which
strongly favored his views that the
proposed conference at ' Stockholm
shojild be merely consultative and not
in any way binding, and Premier
Lloyd George's defense of Mr. Hen
derson's action, press critics of the
labor leader still remained dissatisfied
and rumors that he would be forced
out of the cabinet flew thick and fast.
Henderson Leaves Cabinet,
Premier Lloyd George tonight made
public Arthur Henderson's letter of
resignation and his acceptance, both
dated today. Mr. Henderson's letter
follow:
"Dear Prime Minister: At our in
terview last night J gathered you had
reached the conclusion that my reten
tion of the secretaryship to the labor
party was no longer compatible with
my membership in the war cabinet.
Recent experiences have impressed me
with the embarrassing complications
arising from this duality of office. In
those circumstances therefore. I deem
" it advisable to ask you to release jne
from further membership in your gov
ernment. 1 continue to share your de
sire that-the war should be carried
a successful conclusion and I trust
that in a non-government capacity I
may be able-to render some little as
sistance to this end.
"I remain yours sincerelv
"ARTHUR HENDERSON'."
Premier Lloyd George replied:
Forced Out of Office,
"My Deat Henderson: I am in re
ceipt of your letter of this morning
tendering your resignation of your
hoi it ion as a member of the war
cabinet and have received the permis
sion of His Majesty to accept it.
"My colleagues and I have received
with satisfaction your assurance of
your unaoaieo tiesire 10 assist m m
prosecution of the war to a successful
conclusion and they greatly regret
that you can no longer be directly and
officially associated with them in that
enterprise.
"There are, however, certain facts
' Villi which -It is essential that the
' public should be acquainted in order
; ' that they may form a correct appre
ciation ot the events tnat nave iea to
'this regrettable conclusion. The first
is that vour colleagues were taken
completely by surprise by the atti
tude which you adopted at tne uoor
conference yesterday afternoon.
"You know that they were in the
present circumstances unanimously
opposed to the Stockholm conference
and you had yourself been prepared
' to agree to an announcement to that
effect. Some days ago and at your
suggestion, however, and of your la
hor colleagues, it was decided to de
fer any such announcement until
after the' -meeting yesterday. I was
. under the impression, after several
. talks with you, that you meant to use
your influence against meeting enemy
representatives at Stockholm.
! Take Unwise Cours.
"What has happened in Russia dur
ing the last few w;eeks has ""affected
materially, ou position in reference
to that conference. You admitted to
me, that the situation had changed
completely,, even within the last fort
night and that whatever, ground you
might: have; thought , there was for
delegates from allied countries in att
tending such a conference a fortnight
ago, tvents of the last few days had
shown you the unwisdom of such
course. ' ' ' -V .
"That Mas clearly what you led me
to believe. 'It was also the impres
. ion left on the minds of your col
, leagues in tne cabinet and of your
i labor colleagues in 'the ministry. It
was, therefore, with no small surprise
that I received letter from you yes
terday afternoon stating that you
. 'ought to inform me after most care-
iul consideration that you had come to
the conclusion, you could take no
' other course than to stand by the ad
vice you had given the day after your
'return Irom Russia,' and that your col
leagues subsequently read the speech
which you ought to have informed
' the cabinet of before you entered the
conference "
"..I. Colleagues in Dark.
- l When you , spoke at that:. 'confer
encc.j'o.u, wffe not merely a member
-if.the latiop-party, but a member of
the cabinet, responsible for the con
duct of jhe war.- Nevertheless, you
did not deem it necessary to inform
' the conference of the views of your
colleagues and the delegates accord
ingly were justihed in assuming that
the advice you gave was not incon
sistent with their opinion. J -"The
second point.'is this: Yester
day morning we received a most im
portant communication from the Rus
sian government in which iwe' were
informed th.t: 'Although the. .Russian
government did noldcenvit possible
to prevent Russian delegate from
taking part iu the Stockholm confer
ence they regarded it as party con
cern and its decision as in no wise
binding on the liberty of action of the
government, and further the cover
ing letter which ' accompanied this
communication, contained 'these
words: 'I hasten to lay before you the
above information, as I fear that the
impression hitherto has prevailed that
in the words of one of the London
newspapers Russia ardently desired
the Stockholm conference and this
' argument has been put forward in
order to influence British public opin
ion in favor of the labor and socialist
parties of Great Britain participating
in the conference.'
Action Called Unfair.
"Jmmeijiately on the receipt of this
intimation. I sent it over to you with
the request that you communicate it
,. 1 to the conference. You omitted to
do so. . K is true that in the course
, of your, speech you made a very casual
. reference 'to some modification' in
' the attitude of the -Russian govern
ment, but there is a manifest differ-
- ence between the effect which would
necessarily. be produced upon any
audience fcy "an , indifferent summary
, of that description and by the com-
municatlon to -them pf official infor-
nation showing that the attitude of
the Russian government towards the
Stockholm conference was very dif
ferent from what had been supposed.
"In these circumstances your action
, Joes not appear to be fair either to
the government r delegates of whom
you were addressing.' They were left
in ignorance of a vital fact which nec
, cssarily has affected their judgment.
, , I am sending a copy of this correspond
ence to the press. Yours sincerely.

"Hans tore off his coat and jumped
into the sea after my boy. But it

COUNCIL ASKS FOR

National and State Defense
Organizations Request Mo
torists' Aid in Conserv
ing Gasoline.
(Krora a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Au. 12. (Special.)
Gasoline conservation is now one of
the problems which the National
Council of Defense will try to-bring
about through the state councils of
defense, which it asks to assist by
promulgating a sort of educational
campaign. Covering the matter the
state council of this state is sending
out the following:
After a careful investigation of the
present gasoline situation, Van If.
Manning, director of the burea'u of
mines of the Department of the In
terior, has issued the following state
ment: One-half of the gasoline used in the
United States (1,250.000,000 gallons)
is used in pleasure riding.
It is estimated that the United
States army will need 350 000,000 gal
lons for aeroplanes, trucks, automo
bile tractors and other machines.
There is no way of obtaining this hi
this country except by saving from
the existing supply, and this economy
rnay be effected by voluntary'cutting
down of pleasure riding (for instance;
the man who takes his family out on
Sunday for a fifty-mile ride can cut
this in h.-.lf).
It has been estimated that by eco
nomical use enough gasoline can he
saved to supply not only the United
Slates, but also its allies for war pur
poses. The following suggestions should
be observed by automobile owners:
Do not allow your gasoline engine
to run' idle.
Use kerosene, not gasoline, for
cleaning purposes in the garage.
See to it that the carburetor does
not leak.
Form the habit of shutting off the
gasoline at the tank.
. By judicious regulation of the mix
ture of gasoline and air in the motor,
both greater power and economy of
fuel may be obtained.
Automobile owners need not lay
up cars, but should use them either
for , trade or pleasure purposes
thoughtfully and judiciously. If this
advice is followed there will be an
abundant supply for ordinary pur
poses. ,

Nebraska Once More
Enters Broom Making
Business at Prison
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Aug, 12. (Special.) In a
contest between brooms and bricks,
the sweepers have won before the
state board of control and the $50,000
appropriated by the last legislature
for industrial activities under the di
rection of the Board of Control will
be used for a broom factory at the
penitentiary.
There has ' been a controversy on
for some time as to whether the state
should enter the brick making "busi
ness, the brick to be used for paving
of roads and for use at state institu
tions. The committee in charge dur
ing the session of the last legislature
held several meetings in which
claims favorable to a brick plant
and also for a broom plant were
made. However the legislautre fi
nally put it up to the Board of Con
trol and as a result the state will
once more enter the broon making
industry. '
For several years the state made
brooms extensively, or at least-a plant
was maintained at the penitentiary in
which the convicts were hired out to
a local manufacturer at so much per
day, but a feiv, years ago this was dis
continued. A. T. Johnson of Lincoln will have

Mrs. H. Grau. 1812 N. Seventeenth
St., says: "For seven or eight years,
off and on. I had trouble with my
back and kidneys. My work kept
me on my feet and was the cause of
my suffering. I was just played out
and hardly able to do anything.
Sweeping or work which made it
necessary for me to stoop was very
difficult. Nights, as well as during
the day, there was a dull, heavy ache
and besides that I was subject to
headaches and diny spells. My kid
neys acted irregularly and were the
cause of my feeling so poorly in every
way. Finally I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills and they' benefited me
greatly. Since whenever my kidneys
have caused me any trouble Doan's
soon put them right."
S. Sixth Street
A. G. Stephens, barber, 1006 S.
Sixth St., says: "My back at times
became so lame that the simplest
movement was distressing. I had
frequent headaches and diny spells
that caused me no end of annoyance.
Mornings, on getting up, I could
hardly drag myself about. In spite
of the many medicines I tried, I
found no relief until I finally he fan
using Doan's Kidney Pills. Doan's
soon helped me and a few now and
then since have kept my kidneys in
good shape."
