LLOYD GEORGE ADMITS TREND REVOLUTIONARY (Continued From Page One.) for revolutionary purposes,” said Mr. Gwynne. GOVERNMENT ACTS TO STOP SEDITION. The government is taking stern measures to stamp out all seditious activities, not only in the ranks of labor, but in the army and navy as well. The guard upon the ports along the eastern coast has been redou'c'ed to prevent the entrance of Red r .rkers and Red literature from Germany, Russia and the Scandinavian countries. John Mac Lean. “Bolshevist consul in Scotland,” known as the "Firebrand of the Clyde,” was arrested today charged with sedition. Steps are already being taken by the government to prevent the sending of foreign money into Great Britain to foster revolutionary agitations. SEDITION SPREADS TO BRITISH FLEET. News that the revolutionary agitations had spread to the fleet—the chief pride of the whole nation—caused a big sensation. Search was made of the great bp*tleshlp Thunderer at Rosyth, revealing a quantity of seditious literature in the crew's quarters. The importance of this discovery was emphasized by the fact that the Thunderer is a unit of the first battle squadron of the grand fleet, the backbone of the country’s first line sea defenses. Subsequently two British light cruisers were searched with further discoveries of Red iitenture. All these documents were seized, n>t alone that they might be destroyed, but also to trace their origin. A man and a woman were arrested at Portsmouth, the chief British naval base, on the charge of preaching sedition in the navy yard. They were held for further examination. RESERVISTS KEFTSE TO CARRY OCT ORDERS. Two thousand naval reservists who had been sent into the Welsh coal fields for strike duty have been removed to Portsmouth because of disaffection in the ranks. The reservists, yielding to the urglngs and threats of radicals among the labor men, refused to carry out their orders. Since the recent mutinous outbreaks at Aldershot, the greatest military depot in the British empire, special precautions have been taken to guard against the spread of revolutionary propaganda among the soldiers. The seriousness of the strike situation was Increased by the action of unionized labor during the day. The executive committee of the National Union of Railway Men adopted a resolution providing : “First, the unionised railway workers roust not handle imported coal, regardless of the use it Is to be put to. “Second, railway men must not transport any coal that has been handled by ‘scab’ labor In Great Britain.” After the meeting the railway men’s committee went into Joint session with the executive committee of the Federation of Transport Workers. The British press, for reasons national policy, is remaining silent uuout the most of the revolutionary revelations and the precautions that are being taken by the Government to meet a revolutionary outbreak on a big scale. The use of German troops In Upper Silesia to fight the Poles was approved by Premier Lloyd George. In outlining bis solution of the Upper Silesian troubles to the House of Commons, the premier declared that “there is no reason for the allies to object to Germany using her armed forces to restore order in her own provinces.”
