Arrangements have been perfected to have a general outcry made by all the paid and volunteer propagandists of the scheme throughout the country, In a laat big effort to create an appearance of a popular demand for delivering America, bound hand and foot, into the hands of internationalism and alien ImperialismNow, as never before, opponents of this scheme for the betrayal of American rights and sovereignty ideas and Ideals, should bestir themselves. They should arrange local meetings of protest, circulate petitions, write letters, send telegrams and otherwise make the senate understand that the non-rubber stamp members of that body may with perfect safety refuse to be stampeded.

RIOTING AT THE STANDARD. The clash between the Hammond police, with the Standard guards, and rioting strikers yesterday is as regrettable as it was unavoidable, BUT LAW AND ORDER MUST PREVAIL. LEADERS OF THE STRIKERS had repeatedlv warned them against disorder and the carrying of weapons, yet the warning was absolutely disregardedTHE MAYOR, CHIEF OF POLICE AND HIS POLICE CAPTAINS had on many occasions counseled the men to refrain from rioting and disorderly conduct. THE STATE TROOPS had been called and withdrawn. LEADERS OF THE STANDARD STRIKE AT BUTLER had come hundreds of miles to caution the men. INTERNATIONAL UNION OFFICIALS had asked the men to conduct their strike in orderly fashion. THE FEDERAL COURTS had enjoined them from violence or disorder. In spite of this, what happened? Hundreds of men. many armed with revolvers, rocks, bricks, and clubs, deliberately marched to clash with 250 American citizens, union men. who were on their way to work. The rioters came out prepared for trouble; they incited trouble. AND THEY STARTED TROUBLE. They hurled bricks at the police and fired oa them. "What remained for these guardians of the .public weal to do? There was a handful of them as compared with the hundreds of trouble-hunters. Had they not protected themselves TH El R LIVES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WORTH ANYTHING. The strikers hare no one to blame but themselves, and the cowardly radicals who advised them. It is to be toped that for the good of the city they will heed the lesson. If they do not, there will be more dead bodies and more bloodshed.

REWARDING LLOYD GEORGE. How properly to reward Lloyd George for his great service to the British Empire is said to be a problem that is perplexing George V. Conferring a title has been the traditional method pf expressing appreciation of service to the empire and few Britons there have been who have not welcomed such distinction. Gladstone was great enough to decline an earldom. Despite he remained a commoner how many titled statesmen occupy a more lofty position in the annals of British statecraft? At this distance it. is difficult to conceive of Uoyd George stalking about as a duke or earl. Such a distinc tion would not add a cubit to his stature. Is not the cobbler's son a greater character as a commoner than he could hope to be were he loaded with titles? The task Lloyd George assumed was a stupendous one. Doubtless he made many mistakes, for no man is omniscient. Only one other man even approahed him in the burden carried '.he "Tiger" of France- At times he faced bitter oppos:t:on. but he never ialtered. He pushed on and victory came. Is not the record he n-.a'lc a greater tribute to him as a 3131. than any honor thu c.juld be confered bv a moaArc".? He has ennobled himself far beyond the poer of prince to add to or dennc i-tu. To include hiiu in the peeraie would not elevate him. He stands today as the greatest living represents le of the democracy of Lngland. He ia an example 'hat tie highest position ia the realm is not barred to the humblest man. In public estimation he outranks Britains 700 earls, her dukes and princes. To have been Great Britain's successful Prime Minister in the prosecution of the World War is the greatest honor that can come to the distinguished Welshman. It is to be hoped that the luster of his fame will not be tarnished by yielding to the lure of a title of nobility when to remain plain David Lloyd George is the greatest dignity he can attain. His record as an administrator in the days of the nation's stress and not any title to be conferred is the foundation on which his fame will rest-

, about to rescue the prisoner. Crowley

and Burke whipped out their guns and covered the leaders of the mob which turned and plunged down hill. Even the striking officers themselves wore not immune from attacks. In several cases men who had old grudK?s against the officers, lay in wait for them and beat tlu-m up. after the policemen had turned In their clubs and revolvers Shoe stores seemed to be the special prey of the mobs. Early today shoes valued at $ and f3 a pair littered the gutters. Sme foresighted store-keepers stayed on guard at their stores all night and fired at the rioters who attempted to Jooi their windows.

THE BOILER PLATE BARRAGE. Coincidental with the beginning of President Wilson's stumping tour, the barrel has been opened ia behalf of the league of nations, without reservation or amendment

to work up an appearance of public outcry In behalf of

Immediate and unaltered ratification. Newspaper "'boiler plate," costing two dollars a page, Is being dumped by tie ton on the local press of the country, express prepaid, and regardless of whether or not it has been ordered. This contains articles by Dr. Frank Crane and other league of nations propagandists. Henry Ford has a "boiler plate" campaign of his own which involves an expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars. He is offering free to every paper in the country matter in plate, express prepaid, through the Western Newspaper Union, in which President Wilson' trip is portrayed as a spontaneous popular uprising in behalf of the unamended, made-in-Europe covenant and

WHAT ABOUT IT? The kaiser, the Socialists, the anarchists, the Bolshevists and the leaguers are all internationalists. Senator Poindexter, of Washington, declared in a speech ia the senate yesterday afternoon, answering President Wilson's speeches. "While plans are being made to send an American army to Turkey and another to Siberia and still another to Germany, how can the president tell the American people that if the league of nations is adopted khaki clad troops will never again cross the Atlantic?" Senator Poindexter asked. Can Mr. Wilton deny the flrst statement? Can he answer the second? We wonder!

STORM WARNING.

ly tId by Police Commissioner Curtis to "mind his own business," when he sought to intervene in the situation, called a conference of leading business men today to formulate plans for ending the strike. The night began with the ringing of false alarms and the breaking of store windows by gangs of small boys. It rapidly developed into organized hoodlumism, which resulted in a score of near-riots, numerous assaults and criminal attacks on women. MOBS LOOT STOBXS. The most serious riot in the city proper took place in the west end. where the mob. constantly swelling until It numbered over 5.000 howling beys and men refused to budge when charged by the Inspectors. Finally a big squad or Metropolitan Park police, clubs In hand, appeared and waded into the front ranks. Then the mob, which meantime had looted a dozea small stores, turned and fled. The loot they had grabbed through the broken plate glass windows was dropped in their Might and littered Scollay Square. In two minutes the Metropolitan Park police had cleared the square but a few minutes later the park police

men vanished as suddenly as they had1

appeared and the hoodlums again form

ed into a gang.

CULP OAKXS PLAYXD OPXNLT.

Crap games were played openly, in some places to quarrelsome ends and in

the streets and on the sidewalks.

One such game was in progress on Tremont row. within a stone's throw of police headquarters when Supt. Crowley saw It. There was a gathf-ring of several hundred, either engaged in the game or watching it. Supt. Crowley elbowed

his way through the throng and seized one of the players. The mob closed in on the official. As the superintendent dragged his prisoner towards Pemberton

Square, Inspector Michael Burke went to his assistance. The two officers stood
