Tho long-drawn-out tight between former premier Lloyd George and Sir George Tounger hae for the time ended with victory for the chairman of the unlonlet party. Younger and his adherent staked their political fortune! at tho famoui Carlton club meeting which nmaehed the coalition and lent Lloyd George Into the wilderness on the conviction that the country was ripe for a re- tiipn Ia atralvht nartv nnlltica and . In the firm belief that the nation would support their eonvlotlon by ending the conservatives to the house of commona with a good working majority. Their confidence haa been amply justified. Yesterday's elections have returned a parliament with almost the same overwhelming predoml nance of conservatives aa the last parliament elected In 1911 on a wave of grateful enthusiasm to Lloyd George aa "winner of the war. In tho new parliament Premier Bonar Law will command a majori ty over all parties combined of ap proximately SO. i . ive njasoat a Misuuit, While this cannot be properly da scribed aa a landslide, aa the con servatives at. the time of tho disso lution of parliament numbered about 110,. It amounts almost to the same thing, considering tho pecullat circumstances of the time and the high hopes held by the labor and , liberal- parties of the return of the country" to progressive vtowo," ana It mav bo suDoosed that the sonaerv. atlves themselves hardly' expected such favorable results. , It means a parliament with little changes, except that Mr. Bonar Law replaces Mr. Lloyd George as prime minister and that the former prem ier's attenuated following of nation al liberals, reduoed by the elections to under 60, will presumably hence forth bo In opposition, Instead of working In co-operation with the conservatives. The downfall of Lloyd Georgelsm Is the outstanding feature of tho lections. The coalition liberals at the dissolution numbered lit; they are represented In the new parlia ment by only 44 members. There will be many regrets among the former premier's admirers that he failed to take the advice of some of his well-wishers and , retire tern porarlly or altogether from tho po lltical stage. . Aaqultnlun Liberals Improve. Tho Asautthlan liberals lately lm proved their position, rising from 14 In the old parliament to ei in ine new, but they did not do so well as they ex. ceded. On the other hand, labor, although It failed to fulfill the high hopes the party entertained at the dissolution, haa done exceedingly well, rising from 71 to III seats. It 1 generally believed that labor would have done far better but for tho tactical mistake In Its advooaoy of capital levy. While tho strength of conservatism In the country is a matter ot sur prise, perhaps the keynote of the elections Is the decline of liberalism and, tho growth of tho labor party, This seems to show that henceforth the struggle will bo between the conservatives and the labor party. Tho position now Is that labor is the second strongest party In the house, and In what looks as the lm probable event ot the present govern ment suffering detest In parliament. It would be to the labor party that the king would naturally turn for new premier. Women Are Interested - Another striking feature of ttv elections Is that the women voters have taken quite an unexpectedly strong Interest In the struggle, thel participation probably accounting more than anything else for the ex oeedlngly heavy polling. But, how over keen their interest In political life, they do not appear to be In the mood to elect women to parliament, only Lady Astor and Mrs. wintrmg ham, already in the house, bslng re turned.

He him self set an example, for he spoke for only half an hour, and was frequently applauded and cheered. Socialists Are Subdued. The socialists and communists, numbering 111, who have greeted every succeeding government with violent and noisy demonstrations of opposition, sat In the chamber today silent and subdued. Old leaders, like Glollttl, Orlando, Balandra, Facta and Bonoml saw their power wrested from them; they were relegated to seoond place without uttering a sincla oh Jection and some ot them were among the hundreds who congratulated Mus solini as he concluded. The only attempt at interruption was made by Deputy Modlgllatil, so cialist, who, when Mussolini threat ened dissolution, shouted somewhat timidly: "Long live the parliament." The leader of the Fasclstl merely glared at htm, while the right and center section cheered.

He declined to talk about his confer ence with the exeoutlve nor was any statement regarding it forthcoming from the White House. Bo far as was learned Secretary Wallace had not taken up the Armour plan with Mr. Harding.

Gray Silver, for the American Farm Bureau fed eration, said the matter had been discussed with officials ot hla or ganisation by those interested as a that the federation had not asked for a hearing before the department of agriculture, but added that this did not mean necessarily that a hearing might not be requested as an Imme diate decision by the department was not anticipated.

President Harding is annoyed at the giving out by Mrs. Corlnne Roosevelt Robinson of the tmpreeslon that sentiment had changed on the enforcement of pro hibition. The letter wae private. And the newspaper dispatch, according to the White House view, did not fairly represent the opinion expressed by Mr. Harding to Mrs. Robinson. The question ot making public the letter is under discussion. The opinions attributed to Presl dent Harding are the opinions com monly held by public men here but the difference In the situation la moral and sentimental rather than one which can be measured In aotual votes or one likely to result In legls lative aotton. Nothing can be ex pected from Congress aa It Is now constituted. The Association Against the Prohl bltlon Amendment will hold a con vention in St. Louis beginning next Monday to plan its future campaign for the modification of the Volstead act. The line of attack likely to be adopted wilt be to seek planke In the national party platforms of 1124 fa voring the liberalising of the Vol stead act. An attempt to do this wss made at the conventions of 1920 but without suocess, but as a result of the developments of the last few months, especially the recent eleo tlon, there Is Just a possibility that one or the other of the big parties may commit Itself to light wines and beer. ' , Sentiment Hae Changed That measures the difference to which Mr. Harding alludea In hla let ter when he says the sentiment on Mrs. Clara Phillips, Guilty Second Degree Murder, Seeks a New Trial s NO SENTENCE YETj "I Expected to Be Acquitted; They Didn't Give Me a Fair Triaiy Woman Says. 3 WOMEN FOR DEXTH (s landsud rem) Los Angeles, Nov.

It was announced by Bertram A. Herrlngton, her attorney. 'There Is a fatal error In the record and finally Clara Phillips will be freed," Herrlngton said. "I will not quit the fight until she Is." The motion for a new trial will be made when Mrs. Phillips is sentenced Monday. The verdict, which was a oompromlse one from a Jury of nine men and three women, carries a pen alty of from 10 years to life impris onment. I expected to be acquitted," Mrs. Phillips said in commenting on the verdict. "They didn't give me a fair deal. I am going to ask my attorney to appeal and believe with another trial I can be acquitted. I don t think I will go to the penitentiary. But if I have to go there I could face life In that place with the aame poise have here. It would not make much difference to me. All my hopes are crushed anyway." The three women members of the Jury voted for the death penalty until the final compromise of second degree murder was reached, It was said. In the early balloting there were four ho voted to acquit. The Jury reached an agreement late last night after the Judge, the attorneys and court attaches had gone home, but the verdict was not returned until this morning. According to members of the Jury they did not consider the Insanity contention set up by ths de fense.

One is the striking victory of Governor Edwards running as a wet In New Jereey over Senator Fre llnghtiysen on a dry platform. Then there wae the fact that both parties felt compelled to be wet In New York. Although the testa In the referendum on liquor In Massachu setts, Illinois, Ohio and California re eulted in a stand off, the wets win ning the first two states and the drys the other two, still any victory for the wets tends to show that pro hibition is not definitely settled. Up till last summer It had been assumed that it had been practlcaly disposed of for good. A realisation that the country may retrace its steps so far as to permit the sale of light wines and beers has been brought about. Mr. Harding himself In the senate voted dry but his experience as an executive haa affected his view of the practicability of the law. The administration doubts Whether prohi bition such as we have on the stat ute books can ever be enforced. The ease with which the law Is evaded is doubtless one factor In changing public sentiment to the extent set forth above. Rival Claims Differ Greatly Rival claims of the wet-dry organ isations differ as to the result of the elections In Congress. It Is always hard to tell Just what the real strength fo wet and dry In the sen ate and house is, for members vote not according to their own oonvlc tlons, but according to their Judg ment of the changing sentiment of their districts. But the best estimate of the re sults of the election so far as this issue is concerned Is that the drys (Contlnusd on Page 15.) In Los Angeles Traffic Violators ' To See the Morgue Detroit.

On his return to Herlln tomorrow he will resume negotiations with the reichstag leaders.

The opinion is held in reichstag cir cles that Herr Cuno, who is wholly a novice In parliamentary affairs, at least has the advantage of being un encumbered by party affiliations and that he Is qualified to deal objectively with the acrimonious situation grow ing out of the present crisis, and might even succeed In reconciling the warring factions to a patrlotto pro gram of national reconstruction based on mutual Inter-party good will and understanding.

SECRETARY WEEKS TALKS He Declares Draft System Showed 50 Per Cent of Men Called Was Sub-normal. COULD CORRECT DEFECTS Gei eral Pershing and Others Say Proper Physical Tralalng In 1 Schools Would Eliminate Many Phyelral Defects. (By Auortttsd rrm.) Washington, Nov. 11. Under lead ership of the war department, repre sentatlvea of American schools, col leges and organizations dealing with the mental and phyaical betterment of the race went Into conference here today In. the hope that a systematic method of developing young Ameri cans to better cltlsenshlp could be evolved. As a basis from which to proceed, the conference was toM by Secretary Weeks that statistics of ths war time draft system showed 50 per cent ot the men called for examina tion to be physically sub-normal and disclosed a deplorable percentage ot illiteracy. Mr. Weeks and General Pershing and Brig. Gen. William Lasslter, who also addressed the conference, laid stress on the fact that war experience had demonstrated that n great pro portion ot the physical defects dis closed could be corrected by proper systema ot physical training and de velopment beginning In the schools. Mr. Weeks at the same time pointed out that good phyaical condition among the children would materially aid In their mental advancement and the development nf such Ideals of cltlsenshlp as would go far to offset -waves of popular unrest and the work of un-American agitators. War Records Studied.

To meet tho army's need or lecnmcai skill of thla character, he said. It was necessary during the war to give training to approxi mately 1,160,000 men. "Our Industrial firms are becoming aware of the necessity of definite preparation of young, men to be skilled workers and some of them are establishing their own schools for providing such training," General Lasslter said, "but there Is little oo operation between the Industries and the schools of the country looking toward an Increased output of tech nically skilled men. Thus, It Is to be noted that In the manufacturing In dustries and transportation occupa tions requiring mechanical skill there are now about eleven million male workers. Want Details Standards "Furthermore, It does not appear that there re any generally accept ed specifications, aptitude tests or tests of efficiency to guide schools in training young men according to ,thelr aptitudes. The lack of such definite means for the adjustment of the youth to his task In life, and the lack of equally well defined termin ology for classifying men with re- n.Pt (A nl,valn. 1,1 - , . -,. ... .. j .n ,ii aml anowi-' edge, were among the moste serloua causes of delay In mobilisation for the world war. Consequently, fe0m the point of view, both of prepara tion for citlcenahtn anrf . ... . tlon for national defense. It would appear that It Is still necessary to make a well cn-ordlnnted drive to ward the establishment,, of definite standards of achievement for train ing young men for their occupations In life. "The foregoing, then, gives yon the general plan on which we pro pose to raise In time of emergency, a great national force. The units now being definitely established will provide a force of about 1.000.000 men; but, with the machinery estab lished, we could then go on to keop' the ranks of these units filled up during a war, and also to raise sd dltlnnal units. If needed. We thus have, for the first tme, a comprehen sive plan for developing the foroe required for national defense." Ohllgallona to Country General I'ershlng told the confer ence he believed the hope of all thinking men was "that out of this conference may come some sugges tion or some plan or system, which can be applied throughout our publlo schools, whereby the lessons of pa triotism and the obligation to the country, and those things that go to make' up good cltlsenshlp may be tnugbt effectively and which may be adopted as a general procedure throughout the country."
