Lloyd Georges Government Faces Serious Situation

l'.y I rdted Press: EON DON, Oct. 24. The Eloyd Georpe povernment faces a serious situation as the result of Thursday nipht's defeat in the house of commons, aceordinp to the opinion generally expressed by the press Friday. The question on which the government lost, 1S5 to 112, was a minor one having to do with an amendment to the alien bill but the impression prevailed that th vote was an indication of parliament's attitude toward the present cabinet. As Vion a,s the vote was announced. Andrew Eonar Iaw, povernment spokesman, obtained an adjournment until Monday, to permit the cabinet to decide, upon its next move. Many officials and political ixperts professed to believe that the resignation of Premier Eloyd George was certain. The amendment to 'the alien bill, offered by Home Sec'y Shortt would have changed the clause tarring all aliens from receiving Eritish pilots' certificates to exclude the French, so as not to conflict with the An-pIo-French agreement of 1913. Unionists and laborites united in defeating the amendmc-M. Even in case the cabinet decides not to resign en bloc, it was believed that Shortt. as author of the amendment, would retire. "If the government's defeat is further sustained, or its attempt at rehabilitation inadequate. Eloyd George must resign." the Chronicle said Friday. "The king doubtless will entrust him with formation of a new ministry, but from whence will

I he derive his support? It was the

coalition itself that broupht down the administration. Eloyd George will be compelled to seek fresh authority nt a general electionArthur J. Balfour and Lord Curzon have exchanped portfolios, the former becoming lord president of the council and the latter secretary for foreign affairs.

Women workers who are calling nt every house in some instanceshave made as many as six trips to one house before finally being able to talk to the right person. While of course this detail work takes considerable time, it is considered important and so well has the city been divided that there is little danger of any homes beiiig overlooked when the curtain is finally rung down. Reports from the workers are encouraging and for that reason there has been no set time fixed for the conclusion of the campaign. Voluntary contributions continue to arrive at headquarters, the latest being a contribution from the Hun
