THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1917.
St orm Clouds in British Parliament Are
1 Dispelled by Premier's Frank Statement
LLOYD GEORGE
EXPLAINS TALK:
STORM SUBSIDES
Premier to Be Virtually Dicta
; tor of Great Britain, as He
Has Won Victory Over
Army Leaders.
(Special Cablegram to The Bee.)
I London, Nov. 14. Lloyd George
Virtually will be dictator of Great
.Britain. He won a decisive victory in
the present crisis over army leaders,
chief of whom are Generals Haig and
Robertson. The storm warning of a
trvinisterial crisis which flared up sud
'lenly as a result of Premier Lloyd
Jbeorge's speech in Paris subsided al
most as quickly.
' i Reads the Terms.
,r- Challenged in the House of Com
ftions today to explain his speech, the
premier contented himself by reading
She actual terms of the agreement
creating the allied council, which he
declared made it clear that the coun
cil was merely advisory and possessed
fof no executive power and therefore
could not override decisions of the
Respective governments or their mili
tary staffs.
The premier further offered to sub
mit a letter in the formal debate next
Monday if the house desirtd and with
,this offer the matter was dropped. It
,is assumed that the debate will have a
lively character and, although the pos
sibility of a crisis is not excluded, it
is suspended until next week.
A section of the British press made
a great play on the alleged connection
of Winston Spencer Churchill with
the crisis on the ground that he was
with Premier Lloyd George at Ra
pello and at Paris. An authoritative
statement issued tonight declared
'that Mr. Churchill was not at Ra
;pello and therefore took no part in
the conference at which the agree
ment was reached.
Criticise War Committees.
In the course of the debate the
whole question of the government of
the country by the new and unpre
cedented machinery of a war cabinet
consisting of five members, with the
other members of the cabinet, includ
ing the minister of foreign affairs out
side its deliberations, probably will
be discussed. This revolution in the
machinery of the British government
has been sharply attacked since it
'awas put into effect, but the general
ifieeliiig of the country has been that it
was billing to scrap the constitu
tion temporarily if the winning of the
war could be promoted by Such a
cueriod.
Tiiu kar thattthe new international
council will usurp the position of the
general staff and the direction of mili
tary afl'airs now in its hands is the
cru. of the present agitation.
BOLSHEVIKI DEMONSTRATION IN PETROGRAD A crowd of Bol.heviki eympathizers
marching through the streets of Petrograd as a protest against the Kerensky government.
Present indications are that the Bolsheviki revolt has ended disastrously for the extreme so
cialists and "Reds" who brought it about.
GERMANS ENSLAVE
POLISHLABORERS
Recruited by Deception or
Forced Deportation and Not
Permitted to Change Em
ployment or Residence.
Copenhagen, Wednesday, Nov. 14.
The conditions of semi-slavery in
which Polish laborers in Germany are
living is illustrated by an advertise
ment appearing in a recent issue of
the Deutsche Tages Zeitung offering
to exchange 50 Polish laborers, 20
men and 30 girls, for the same num
ber of other hands.
One of the first acts of the newly
formed Polish council of regency was
to submit a demand for the better
treatment of Polish workers, includ
ing those caught in Germany by the
outbreak of the war, or those coaxed
or forced to leave Russian Poland
after its occupation and to accept
service in Germany. The laborers are
not permitted to change masters nor
to move from place to place without
a special government authorization.
Apparently well authenticated re
ports tell of the deception of those
recruited in Poland, both regarding
wages and the nature of employment.
A recent interpellation in the Reich
stag dealt with the forcible deporta
tion of laborers from Poland to Ger
many. Italian Deputies Show
Confidence in Premier
Rome, Wednesday, Nov. 14. Great
enthusiasm and patriotic feeling
marked this afternoon's sitting of the
Italian Chamber of Deputies. Pro
fessior Vittorio Orlando, in his first
speech as premier, struck the keynote
of his policy, namely, that the situa
tion called for acts rather than for
words.
The premier spoke feelingly of the
assistance being rendered by the en
tente allies to Italy, and a passage in
which he expressed the cordial grati
tude of Italy to the "great American
republic" for its willing and powerful
aid.
Alluding to the creation of an inter
allied supreme council and a military
council, Professor Orlando an
nounced they would include represen
tatives of the United States.
A vote of confidence in the gov
ernment calling for national concord
was moved by former Preruier Boselli
and was carried without division and
mid great enthusiasm.
Clemenceau Will Form
New French Cabinet
Paris, Nov. 15. Former Premier

cided to transfer the Sunday holiday

most energetically and are supported

American Wounded at Verdun.
Paris, Wednesday, Nov. 14. J. C

bulance service, who was wounded
