PRIME MINISTER OF ENGLAND TO RESIGN, RUMOR
Churchill Intimates Lloyd George Will Step Down: Birth of a New National Party Is Predicted.
London, March 4.-What was regarded in political circles here as seemingly a plain intimation of the early resignation of Prime Minister Lloyd George, with an endeavor to form a new national centerist party out of the moderate conservatives and coalition liberals, was given by Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary for the colonies, in his address at Loughborough this afternoon. This party, as Mr. Churchill described it in the reports of his speech received here, would be "liberal, progressive and pacific in its outlook, at home and abroad and resolute also to uphold and maintain the traditions of the state and the power and unity of the empire."

ENGLAND IS FACING A POLITICAL BATTLE
Loughborough, England, March 4 (by the Associated Press.)-Winston Spencer Churchill, in an address here this afternoon in support of Prime Minister Lloyd George and the coalition government, declared there was certain to be a political battle in England in the near future.
"I look forward to the day when out of the coalition there shall arise a strong, united and permanent national party," he declared.
Alluding to the coming political conflict, he said:
"I think we shall go into action when the time comes under our trusted leader with good comradeship and discipline."
During the course of his address Mr. Churchill declared:
"We have a common opponent in the socialistic or semi-socialistic party, whose doctrines are as hateful to the principle of liberalism as they are pernicious to the empire's best interests."
