...Voting for the officers of the classes of 1922 and 1923 will continue today. In order that those who have not previously voted may be sure to do so today, polls will be established in the Crimson Building form 8 to 6, in Sever Hall from 8.30 to 3.45, and during the lunch hours in Memorial Hall and the Union. At present 213 ballots have been cast in the Junior elections, which is only 40 percent of the number needed to fulfill the constitutional requirements. In the Sophomore voting the necessary quota has been more nearly reached but many must...

The result is an overwhelming vote of confidence in Lloyd George's policy and a severe defeat for the Asquith-Henderson forces...
...Versailles Treaty have witnessed great changes in the governments of three of the "Big Four" nations. In France, M. Clemenceau, worn out with his arduous labors as Premier, sought the dignified but comparatively unimportant position of President. The French Parliament surprised the world by electing another man. The vote was generally deemed an expression of dissatisfaction with the "Tiger's" work in connection with the Peace Treaty. In Italy there have been several turnovers; Orlando was replaced by Nitti; the latter after resigning was reappointed, but was later succeeded by Giolitti. In the United States, President Wilson, hailed two years...
