PREMIER ON THE STRIKE.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10. 1919.
London, Oct 7 To-day was the Premier's first public appearance since the beginning of the strike and the enthusiastie cheers given him by big crowds en route and in front of the Madion House constituted a remarkable demonstration. He was compelled to respond to loud calls for a speech, so stepping forward to the balcony he thanked them for the ovation, remarking that he had come to honour one of the most bri liant commanders the British Army ever had in the field. (Loud cheers)
Speaking at the luncheon at the Mansion House in honour of Marshal Allenby the Premier said the latter had done a great service to the country and mankind. Ris brilliant victories greatly contributed to the overthrow of the Central Powers by making Bulgaria impotent' and opening the door to the defeat of Austria. Turning to 'domestic affairs the Premier said the recent strike had proved that Britain was a real democratic country and that it was public opinion, not Prussianism, in the industrial and economic world which must prevail. Britain had again rendered a deep and lasting service to real freedom by defeating an effort to strangle the community into submission. (Cheers). He thanked the multitudes who frustrated the attempt. These multitudes proved their efficiency.
Mr. Lloyd George proceeded to affirm that the Trade Enions could not win without public opinion. On the other hand the resistance to Trade Union demands must satisfy the justice and fairplay which were innate in the British people. That might sound a commonplace, but he reminded his hearers that there was a section of quite honest and sincere men here and in other countries who had tired in the process of convincing their fellow-countrymen of the justice of their claims and had come to the conclusion that more direct and forcible means should be utilised to achieve their pux- pose. That movement was dangerous to the whole fabric of sociely and must be defeated. (Cheers).
Instead of depending on the justice of the case the tendency was to calculate on what forces could be got to support it and whether these were powerful enough to ride dowa every obstacle that was perilous to the movement and every country must demonstrate that it couldn't succeed.. (Cheers) Britain had once again done a lasting service to haraanity, civilisation and real freedom by defeating an effort to hold up the community. (Prolonged cheers). Thu aforementioned movement had been anxiousir occupring the minds of all who had a supreme voice in paille affairs for months. He characterised the public support of the Gov erament in the recent strike as the most remarkable demon- stration of spontaneous will that any nation had ever ex- hibited. It had been suggested that the organisation which fought the strike was purely a war organisation and that as soon as demobilisation was completed there would be no Euch organisation to fall back upon. Let there be no mis- take about that, proceeded the Fremier. If demobilisa- tion had been complete it would have suited the Govern- ment better because they would have had more transport. Transport was vital. He realised in February that trouble was coming and he then left the Peace Conference for London and started the aforementioned organisation which he em- phasised was purely civilian. Hence it would not disappear as soon as demobilisation was completed. Another lesson of the strike was that the community must deal with the claims of all classes justly. It must pay a proper price for a man's property, whether land, buildings or labour, if the community needed that property, (Cheers)
The Premier concluded: "We have made it clear that the nation means to be master in its own house (loud cheers) a firm master and a strong master. We must make it clear that it means to be a just quaster, but always master. (Cheers). From this will spring not strife, quarrels, suspicion -which are paralysing the activity of the nation at the mo-" ment when you need it all, when the nation is staggering under heavy burdens and wants every shoulder to it in along-but ep-operation. In the old phrase, we strengthen the common trust." (Load cheers).

By the Supreme Council Marshal Foch has been in- structed to draft a reply to Germany agreeing to Germany's request for the appointment of an Allied and German Com- mission to enforce the evacuation of the Baltic Provinces, but this to be conditiona! that the German Government is not freed from responsibility and should undertake to with- hold pay and food from the occupying troops after a certain date, also advising that the Allies would not reroke their coercive measures before compliance.

The judicial inquiry into claims far bounties by eleven officers and others claiming to be the inventor of the tank, mentioned last night, continued. Mr. Churchill gave evid- ence and did not attribute the invention to "this or that man' but said it was the efforts of certain men which qul- minated in its perfection.

A COSSACK CRIME.
ROBBERY AND MURDER IN STOCKHOLM,
Stockholm, Aug. 17.-The sensational reports of the murder of three Russians, Ardasheff, Levitski, and Calve, in a villa near Stockholm by a gang of about a dozen other Russians, appear to have been inaccuratə in ascribing to these murders a political object. The murders have aroused little interest among the Swedish people, who are be- coming accustomed to the ways of Russian refugees in Sweden.
These persons for the most part appear to consist of Asiatic Russians. A large percentage of them are Jews, many of them are [deserters, and there is the usual proportion of adventurers. The chief of the gang of murderers is & Cossack, Colonel Hadji Lashet, who, in a written confession, has made an attempt to cast over the whole affair the glamour of a political vendetta against the Bolshevists on behalf of the sub- merged forces of Tsarist Russia. The facts of the murders, however, do not support this theory.
a
One of the murdered persons, Dr. Ardasheff, had been Bolshevist, and is probably to be identified with the Commissary Feodoroff. Whatever his true name may have been, he seemed to have been a true Russian in his ability to adapt his political creed to any occasion. Calve, another of the victims, had been à professional wrestler. Although almost illiterate. he had been employed by Vorovsky in the Bolshevist Legation bere, but it was perfectly plain that to bian politics were sealed book. All he cared for was
&
plenty of food and a jewell-
ring for each
ed
hand. Levinski, the third victim. was a Russian Jew of a type of oppor- tunist becoming unhappily very familiar here.
The best known among the murderers are Colonel de Gysser and Colonel Hadji Lashet, sold- iers of the usual Cossack type. Several women have played e part in the sordid drama, mostly as lures. They have displayed a degree of cunning, brutality and cruelty that can best be des cribed as Asiatic. Only a dozen Russians have been arrested in connection with the affair, which must not be confused even with Russian politice as they exist to-day. The murder was e purely sordid one of violence for the sake of robbery, enacted in a semi-oriental setting transplanted to Swedish soil.
in
It is sometimes wondered why these Russians, and the many thousand other Russians in this country, are allowed to pursue their nefarious business Sweden. Unfortunately there is no possibility of expelling them. No other European country will take them and they cannot return hotre.

THE MARINE MOTOR WITH POWER TO SPARE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This motor is a four cycle, four cylinder L head type motor. In general appearance it is compact and clean cut, yet there has been incorporated the greatest degree of accessibity for such adjustments as daily service requires. Careful design and manufacture under the most rigid system of inspection and Baal test ensures a motor of extreme refinements, that is quiet, smooth running and powerful with the added and very important feature of economy of operation. The large valves,"free" întake and exhaust passages and carefully balanced and light weight reciprocating parts make this motor unusually powerful at the slow speeds as well as the higher speeds up to 1400 RP.M. There is no unpleasent vibration at the high speeds.
In order that this motor shall stand up and have endurance under severe conditions, there have been provided liberal pro portions of such feature as bearing area, water jacket volume and connecting rod & crank shaft strength. Lubrication is direct and positive. The use of accurately graduated, helical timing gears and entirely enclosed and lubricated push rods, valve springs, etc.. make one of unusual silence in operation. 4 MODELS IN STOCK-14 TO 40 HORSE POWER
