LLOYD GEORGE TO ASK TODAY FOR SUPP0RT Prime Minister of Great Britain to Ask for Expression of Confidence in Policy Toward Genoa. .

IS "SICK OF OFFICE" BULLETIN LONDON, April 3. Prime Minister Lloyd George appeared in the house of commons today for the first time since Feb. 28 to ask from the house an expression of confidence in the policy of the government toward the Genoa economic conference. As. he entered the prime minister was greeted with cheers from tro government benches. Mr. Lloyd George said his resolution gave the house an opportunity of approving or disapproving the objects of the Genoa conference and the make up of the Genoa delegation and if the resolution were defeated it would be equivalent to a vote of no confidence in the government. (By Associated Press) LONDON. April 3 Prime Minister Lloyd George is to appear before the house of commons this afternoon and ask for an expression of confidence in ihe government's policy toward the international economic conference at Genoa of which he is one of the sponsors. He is expected to receive a substantial majority. . Mr. Lloyd George returned last night from Chequers Court. He is "sick of office" according to an assertion by his son, Major Lloyd George, in a public speech on Saturday, but greatly improved in health after his three weeks of rest. These amendments are not likely to be adopted. Former Premier Asquith, on behalf of the opposition liberals had been expected to join in criticism of the government, but was confined to his home with a cold. John Robert Clynes is in charge of the labor amendment. Issue Urgent Call. The government whips have issued an urgent call for the supporters of the coalition to attend, and a full house is certain. It is not expected that the vote on the premier's resolution will be reached earlier than 11 o'clock in the evening. The general belief that the government will receive a substantial majority is based ort the fact that the motion has been narroweflfrom its orig- j Inal scope to a mere support of the Cannes resolution. . This has taken the heat "out of the . question which lately stirred the political world following Mr. Lloyd George's threat of resignation." j The resolution which the prime minister will personally introduce today reads: "Resolved, that this house approve the resolutions passed by the supreme council at Cannes as a basis of the Genoa conference and that it will support his majesty's government in endeavoring to give effect to them." Seven Amendments Notice has been given of seven amendments to the government's motion, but that proposed by the labor party is given priority. The labor amendment reads: "While approving of an international economic and financial conference, this house regrets that the scope of the discussions at Genoa has been so circumscribed that the conference must fall short of a settlement of the political and economic evils, which af fect Europe, and it is of the opinion that the government, which clearly has not the confidence of the country and which is responsible for a policy whose unfortunate effects are to be onsidered at Genoa, is not competent to represent this country." YOUNG WOMAN'S BODY THAT OF CHICAGO GIRL (By Assoctated Press) NORFOLF, Va., April 3 The body of the young woman found on the beach at Ocean View yesterday was identified today as that of Mrs. Ruth Mercer, formerly Miss Ruth Genevan, of Chicago.

Mrs. Mercer was seen alive Saturday night, and physicians declare the body had not been in the water more than 10 hours.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 3.

At the headquarters here of the United Mine Workers of America, confidence was expressed that the day's developments would confirm the union estimate of 600,000 men, among them 100,000 non-union workers, had laid down their tools for an indefinite period of idleness. A tacit. truce between miners and operators was counted on apparently to make the union estimate of idle men a certainty. Few, if any, operators in the big coal producing centers that are strongly unionized were expected to attempt an early resumption of operations. The situation, however, was in doubt in the non-union and open-shop districts. . , . : Operators of the Pennsylvania anthracite mines were not planning an Immediate resumption of work, and reports sent here Indicated a similar attitude on the part of the mine owners in the Central Competitive Field and the Southwest interstate district. These three districts have more than 400,000 employes, all union men, excepting about half of the 155,000 anthracite workers. States included in this stronghold of the suspension were , Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. In addition,-central Penn-
