Britain Faces
A Real Crisis,
Is View Here
Charge Against Lloyd
George Is Same That
Wrecked Asquith Rule
Liberal Cabinet
Welcome to Wilson
Milner and Former Premier
Together Might Solve
Difficult Problem
By C. W. Gilbert
WASHINGTON, May 8.?-Washington
is tremendously interested in the Brit
jjh Csbinet crisis, since it is generally
believed here that a change in govern?
ment in England which would bring
forward the more liberal element,
which follows Mr. Asquith, and the
Labor element, whose most statesman?
like leader is Arthur Henderson, would
be welcome to the American Adminis?
tration.
By this statement is not meant that
jjr. Wilson is consciously and inten?
tionally influencing British politics. On
the contrary, such influence as he ex?
erts there is the influence of his ideas
md personality. And there is no deny?
ing that the radical elements in all Al?
lied countries gather strength from the
chief exponent of the democratic idea
among the adversaries of Germany.
The government of Lloyd George has
hardly given more than lip service to
the more idealistic views of Mr. Wil
gon. A more liberal government in
England would do much to promote
that political unity which is now so
unfortunately lacking among the Allies.
For these reasons Washington watches
the present crisis in London more in?
tently to-day than it ever watched any
of the previous storms which the gov?
ernment of Lloyd George has weath?
ered.
This is a real crisis. The same
charge that wrecked the original Lib?
eral government and subsequently the
Asquith coalition government now is
made against the Lloyd George gov?
ernment?namely, that is has failed in
the efficient prosecution of the war.
If Charges Are True
Change Is Certain
If General Maurice's charges are
proved true the fall of Lloyd George
is certain. The charges, indeed, may
never have to come to trial, for it ap?
pears that the Premier will accept the
passage of the motion of Mr. Asquith
for an inquiry by the House of Com?
mons as a vote of censure and resign.
General Maurice's charges are that
the Lloyd George government allowed
the British man power in France to
decline and at the same time took over
an additional extent of the West front,
and then deceived the country about
both these facts in statements to Par?
liament. It is, of course, a charge of
the utmost gravity, made by a soldier
who had full opportunity to know the
truth.
On this question of reduced British
manpower reports already have reached
this country. One story, fairly well
authenticated, is that Marshal Haig had
200,000 fewer men under his command
at the front this year than he had last
year. In the face of thi3 he had about
forty miles more to defend.
The explanation given is that both
the French and British miscalculated
the extent of this country's participa?
tion in the war this year. Both coun?
tries were misled by the optimistic
?tories that were put forth in Wash?
ington about the number of tons of
ships we should build and about the
number of airplanes we should send
?was the ocean.
Wish Was Father
To the Thought
Perhaps we were promising the im?
possible, but American business energy
DM a big reputation abroad. With the
*ish to believe that America would
ttve them, the Allies had no difficulty
j? believing the impossible. . Accord?
ingly the energy of the Lloyd George
government relaxed, especially in the
Perplexing matter of man power, in?
crease of which involved settlement of,
the difficult labor question and the even
?ore difficult Irish question.
In an almost petulant reference to
the failure of this country to meet ex?
pectations Lloyd George recently ap?
peared to betray a sense of its conse?
quences. His statement in his recent
?peech that there was no use of deny
gf that this country's contribution to
the war thus far was disappointing has
never been explained. It was a singu?
larly frank, even though just, criticism
01 an ally which hardly would have
"*?n made unless it was impelled by
?ome such situation as that which Gen?
eral Maurice charges in his letter.
In view of the crisis that impends the
?jeent resignations of Northcliffe and
?iRothermere, Northcliffe's brother,
"?orne understandable. Both men had
"?Wntly entered the ministry. The
??Pport of the press, especially the
?wthchffe press, was about all the
?w*ngth Llovd George had except that
?wuctance of a democracy to make crit
*?? changes which we express in Lin
coin s words about swapping horses
""?Mg a stream.
Northcliffe Strong
For Driving War
?ul^kcliffe is a strong? war prosecu
Lutjm?n- If he b?came aware that
?wya George had permitted the man
iST? '?f England to fall off, no matter
"??the excuse was, he naturally would
*wdraw from the government. And
?wer the circumstances he would leave
it to
?ome one else to bring out the
'?fwnng truth.

F??ng Lloyd George. That chiefly has

Asquith Will
Force Test in
House To-day
Continued from oaire 1
series of incidents during the debate,
such as the retirement of Robertson,
Jellicoe and Trcnchard. I
Lloyd George's wonderful ability as
an emotional speaker is certain to be
demonstrated to-morrow, for in all
his long political life he never faced
stronger opposition or had to answer
such grave charjres.
Ministerial utterances never are re?
markable for their clarity and often
turn on the subtle phrasing of a sen?
tence or the shading of words. One
government organ suggests that pos?
sibly both the Premier and Maurice
are right, but that the former made
different deductions from the figures.
Experience has shown that minis?
terial answers to questions in Parlia?
ment are frequently susceptible of two
interpretations and that he obvious
one is not always what the minister in?
tended to convey.
British Parliamentary records contain
few incidents resembling the present
situation. Should a committee be ap?
pointed to sit in judgment, the ques?
tion arises whether the government
could carry on during the inquiry. For
instance, General Gough was deprived
of his command while the inquiry was
being made into the collapse of the
fifth army, and Maurice certainly will
hold no army position while the court
martial is in session.
Ilom? Rule Storm Is Next
If the government weathers the
storm to-morrow it will ride into an?
other next week when the Home Rule
measure is introduced. To-morrow
the Premier will depend largely on the
Unionists' support; next week the
Unionists will be in opposition on the
question of Home Rule.
Labor is keeping ominously quiet,
but I have goed authority for stating
that the political leaders expect to
gain considerable political prestige in
the next few weeks.
The pacifists are becoming almost
hilarious, as they hate Lloyd George
and forget everything else in joy over
his embarrassment. They think^a new
government, whatever its composition,
would hasten peace, and they advocate
peace at any price.
Picture of Maurice as
He Appeared at His
Bi-Weekly Audiences
LONDON, May 8.?The most talked
of man in England to-day is General
Frederick B. Maurice, formerly Chief
Director of Military Operations at the
War Office.
If some volunteer general or some
soldier who had graduated from poli?
tics or business into soldiering had
defied and trampled upon all the laws
and traditions of the British army, he
would not have excited such enormous
surprise as has General Maurice in his
famous letter impugning the veracity
of the ministry.' Had some less well
trained officer written the letter, it
would have been put down to lack of
tradition and to a disregard of the con?
ventionalities by a citizen soldier.
But General Maurice, in his person?
ality, his record and his career, has
been the personification of all that is
conventional, austere and correct in
the professional soldier. His weekly
and, recently, his bi-weekly confer?
ences with American newspaper corre?
spondents have impressed? them with
i his wide knowledge, a passion for ac?
curacy in details, and his personal I
aloofness as thou~v he were perform?
ing a function that professionally he
rather disliked and resented. Barring
his uniform, he would readily pass for
a typical Prussian staff officer of the
Moltke school.
His receptions to the correspondents
have not been interviews, but lectures.
The correspondents filed into the
sanetuary at the War Office at the ap?
pointed minute. Any man who was
late found the door barred against
him. Military usage demanded prompt?
ness, and General Maurice would not
forgive or excuse a lack of it.
A tall, blond gentleman, with a fresh i
pink complexion and a monocle, sur-1
rounded by maps of all sorts?contour
maps, flat maps, maps of elevations?
all marked with flags with numbers
and with red, blue and yellow pencil
marks, faced the correspondents. Gen?
eral Maurice dealt with all those maps
a3 Paderewski deals with the keys of
a piano. He knew every detail of
them.
"Good afternoon, prentlemen," was
the greeting; never anything more. No
word was wasted in gossip or persi?
flage. Standing before the maps with
a professional manner and in lan?
guage so precise his stenographer
would not need to correct it, the gen?
eral stated the military situation.
Having finished, the general would
pause for questions. All answerable
questions were replied to promptly and
incisively, with no elaboration. He was
one of those "who "suffer fools badly."
I-oohsh questions occasionally were
asked by amateur Strategists. He
crushed them quickly and curtlv. He
did not parry with them; he simply
killed them with the straight brutality
such as Speaker Tom Reed dealt to his
critics in years gone by in Washington.
Good afternoon, gentlemen," he
said, having finished; never anything
more. The correspondents left with
more real knowledge in their note?
books to digest than they were likely
to get from days spent in reading the
matter written by military experts.
General Maurice is rated as one of
the most authoritative military histo?
rians and critics who write in the Eng?
lish language. He has made a deep
study of and has confessed profound
admiration for the-strategy and gen?
eral military achievements of Lee,
Grant and other celebrated generals in
the American Civil War.
British Press
Is Divided Over
Maurice Charges
LONDON, May 8.?The action of Gen?
eral? Maurice, former chief director of
military operations at the War Office",
in impugning the "veracity of ministers
of the government has created a most
serious political situation, and one
which is of vital importance to the
Cabinet's existence, according to the
views expressed by several of the
morning newspapers.
Papers which have consistently sup?
ported the present administration rally
to its side, and insinuate or assert
openly that former Premier Asquith
and his followers are back of General
Maurice, and that the affair is a
man?uvre to oust the Lloyd George
Cabinet and put in its place a Cabinet
headed by Mr. Asquith, Viscount Grey
and the Marquis of Lansdowne.
Thursday's debate, "The Daily Tele?
graph" thinks, will be the most serious
that the government has had to face,
involving the question of its continu?
ance in power. The paper is convinced
that the ministers acted in perfect good
faith when they made the statements
which General Maurice contradicts, and
believes they merely repeated informa?
tion supplied by their military ad?
visers. "The Daily Telegraph" believes
the country has complete and justifi?
able confidence in the government, but
adds:
Opposition Believes Time Ripe
"There is no doubt that the opposi?
tion, led by Mr. Asquith, regards the
time as ripe for it to accept the re?
sponsibility of office. It is for the
House of Commons to choose. The al?
ternative government would be exclu?
sively a Radical one."
"The Daily Mail," which stronglj
supports Premier Lloyd George and li
as strongly inimical to former Premiei
Asquith, says the debate on Mr. As
quith's motion will afford him th(
needed opportunity for an attempt t(
bring about a Parliamentary crisis. I
remarks that when General Mauric?
said that no soldier had seen his lett?;
he did not say that no politician ha(
seen it. <
"This omission," "The Daily Mail'
adds, "coupled with Mr. Asquith'!
manoeuvres in Parliament on Tuesday
suggests that the old gang believes i
has found a weapon which will destro;
the government. We believe these in
fatuated partisans have made one mon
miscalculation. . . . The nation ha
no confidence in. the discredited an<
dilatory politicians and their pacifis
hangers-on who w"ere driven from offici
eighteen months ago."
"The Daily Graphic" says: "Mr. As
quith's intervention indicates that th<
political truce is now at an end. Wi
must anticipate a new political strug
gle centring around the question of thi
Premier's, honor."
Anxious to Meet Charges
"The Evening News," which is cred
ited with being in very close touc
with Premier Lloyd George, says o
the letter written by General Maurice
"We understand that both Mr. Bona
Law and Mr. Lloyd George are anxiou
to meet the general's charges at one
and consider they have a very goo
answer indeed to them. The Prim
Minister, when he made tiis statemen
as to the strength of the forces i
France and. Flanders at the beginnin
of this year and as to the number o
white divisions in Palestine and Meso
potamia, was basing it on figures sup
plied to him by the War Office authori
ties. It is stated that he has had n
reason since to doubt the correctnes
of the figures."
"The Central News" makes this an
nouncement:
"We understand the government re
gards Mr. Asquith's motion for a sc
lect committee to inquire into Genere
Maurice's allegations in the light of
vote of censure, and, in the event of i
being carried, will consider whether i
is possible for them to continue i
office."
The Conservative "Morning Post
says that the Premier's own act brough
the government to the present seriou
pass. He refused, it declares, to tak
the advice of soldiers. The German
took advantage of the situation and th
' Premier threw the blame on the sol?
diers.
Radical Paper Rejoices
The Radical "Daily News," which is
opposed to the Premier, rejoices that
the government will not accept the As?
quith motion, but will treat it as a vote
of censure, so that Parliament on
Thursday must take a decision involv?
ing the life of the government.
General Maurice is attacked by "The
Daily Express," which hopes and be?
lieves that "the government will dis?
pose of this latest mare's nest in such
an unmistakable manner that the un?
restricted warfare which lately has
been an unedifying feature of political
life will disappear."
"The Times" editorially urges the
government to stand firmly on its pro?
posal of a judicial inquiry into the
statements of General Maurice.
"The Manchester Guardian" says the
government has no alternative but to
clear itself completely in the eyes of
the country, "for these statements went
to the heart of the responsibility for
our recent reverses."
The general opinion of the provin?
cial newspapers is that the government
will weather the storm, especially as
few members of the House of Com?
mons can be found who think achante
in the government so necessary that it
should be achieved at any cost at the
present period of the war.
Maurice a Sacrifice
To Save British Army,
View in Washington
(By Tho Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, May 8. ? Close ob?
servers in diplomatic circles of develop?
ments in British Cabinet and parlia?
mentary circles which led up to the
present crisis see a direct connectior
between tho letter of General Maurice
and tho enforced retirement of Genera'
Robertson as chief of staff a short time
ago.
In fact, General Maurice is said open?
ly to have voiced dissatisfaction of the
British military party against interfer?
ence by civilians in plans which Gen?
eral Robertson only expressed in th?
secrecy of the war council.
That General Maurice bas offeree
himself as a sacrifice to save the Brit
ish army from what he regards as dis?
aster is the conviction of military ex
perts well acquainted with tho situ
ation that has existed in England sine?
General Robertson's retirement.
In the opinion of these observers th?
crisis in England finis a close paralle
to that which existed in the Unite<
States in the Civil War, when Lincoli
was finally obliged to choose betweei
unqualified support of Grant, Shermai
and other great generals in the fieli
and the civilian Cabinet and Congres
sional committees which attempted t
direct campaigns from Washington.
It is pointed out that an interestini
possibility of the British Cabine
change now would be the abandonmeii
of the projected Irish conscriptior
This would be the case if Mr. Asquit
and Viscount Grey returned to powe
for, while they might not feel it nece:
sary to go to Parliament to repeal th
conscription act they might refrai
from issuing the order in council nd
essary to apply conscription.
Premier to Reveal
British War Secrets
in House To-da
LONDON, May 8.?As a consequenc
of the political situation brought aboi
by General Maurice's letter, Premi?
Lloyd George, according to the lobh
correspondent of "The Daily Tel
graph," considers it unavoidable to di
close facts which have been withhe'
up to this time for military reason
The Premier, it is added, intends 1
give facts and figures when he spcal
on the Asquith motion to-morrow.
Tho government has issued a sur
morts to its supporters requesting the
attendance in the House of Commoi
to-morrow, when "Mr. Asquith w
move a resolution which, if carried, w
be a vote of censure of the g'over
ment."
"A division is absolutely certair
says the call.
According to the press associatic
the proposal to refer the Maurice i
fair to two judges may be regarded
withdrawn, as the suggestion did i
appeal to the members of the Hoi
and its rejection by Mr. Asquith a
his followers rendered it worthless.
On the other hand, it is added, it
doubtful whether any other form
inquiry will be held, and it is lik<
the Premier will give the House t
fullest possible information consist?
with public safety, citing figures
proof of his statement of the relat;
strength of the army in January, 19
and January, 1918. As regards otl
matters involved in the statement
General Maurice, it is understood tl
an explanation perfectly consist?
with both versions will be made.

Great Body in Germany

LONDON, May 8.?In the House of
Lords to-day a debate arose on the
Pacfist agitation in the course of
which the Marquis of Lansdowne
reiterated his opinion that peace
would never come except by negotia?
tion Those expecting that peace
would come through a knockout blow,
he said, were unable to tell the coun?
try how that blow could be delivered.
or the cost of delivering it.
There existed a great body of
opinion in Germany and Austria, con

sick of the butchery and desirous of
stopping it. He who wished to en?
courage that kind of opinion and ad?
vocated a knockout, should think twice

a very dangerous mood.
Earl Curzon thought that too much
was being made of the pacifist propa?

peace overtures had been turned down,
the government always had in view the

Acting Captain Richard McKenna, of
the Fourth Branch Detective Bureau,
will send out 25,000 circulars bearing
the picture of Mrs. Pearl Ferguson and
Shirley Jacobus, reprinted here, to-day.
That, however, is only a small part of
the activity of the police to locate the
missing woman and the five-month
old baby she is believed to have taken
away with her on May 3.
Slides made from the same picture
will be sent to hundreds of motion

day. The Department of Health has
also been asked to furnish the police
with a record of the death of every
baby in the city between the ages of
four and ten months until the Jacobus
child is found or definitely proven to
be dead.
The police secured further confirma?
tion of their identification of the miss?
ing woman as Pearl Ferguson when
Louis M. Quinn, of Lawrence, Mass.,
who is stopping at the Claridge Hotel,
telephoned that the Ferguson woman,
he believed, was the same woman he
had employed about ten months ago in
Lawrence.
Detective Conkling, of the Fourth
Branch, who was sent to Lawrence as
a result of the information given by
Mr. Quinn, found the mother of the
Ferguson woman and notified Captain
McKenna that she would be in New
York to-day to aid the police in the
search fbr her daughter.
Austrian Peace Move
Rejected by French
PARIS, May 8.?The Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the Chamber of
Deputies has completed its investiga?
tion into the Austrian peace move and
adopted the following resolution:
"The committee, after examining docu?
ments and hearing witnesses concern?
ing peace conversations engaged in and
pursued by Austria-Hungary in 1917
'18, finds that these conversations at
no moment offered an opportunity for
a peace acceptable to France and her
allies."
Mass Troops

Continued from pnit* 1
of troops have been made in the large
centres, and very particularly in Bo

the Southern Slav states, to suppress j
in its inception every attempt at an !
uprising.
Famine Conditions Grow
"The burgomasters of the Austrian
cities complain of famine. The 'Neue
Freie Presse' publishes a series of
statements made by the burgomasters
of Austrian cities upon the food situa?
tion. The Burgomaster of Innsbruck
writes that the living conditions ;
throughout the Tyrol are the worst \
that can be imagined. For months it ?
has not been possible to obtain flour
except that made of maize, and then ;
only in insufficient quantity. Potatoes j
are unobtainable. There are whole ;
districts that have not had bread or
flour for weeks.
"The Burgomaster of Klagenfurst
writes that he does not see how pro
visions are to be obtained for the;
month of May. Flour is almost entire- j
ly lacking. Milk and potatoes are not
to be found. Canned goods are ex
hausted. The situation is unbearable i
if help does not arrive from Vienna j
or Berlin.
"The Burgomaster of Gabions, in i
Bohemia, writes: 'It is folly for the !
government to distribute food cards

them. This method will only succeed i
in driving the people to despair."
The second dispatch follows:
"It is learned that during the last
few weeks disturbances that are be- !
lieved to be very serious have broken ?
out among the crews of the Austro- ?

in large part of Slavs and Italians. ;
These disturbances appear to have I

U. S. Rubber Imports
Cut to 100,000 Tons
WASHINGTON, May 8?Carrying
out its announced intention of placing
crude rubber on the list of restricted
imports tho War Trade Board to day
issued regulations holding imports to
the United States to a basis of 100,
000 tons annually and limiting issu?
ance of licenses for such importation
to 25,000 tons from May 6 to July 31.
The cut amounts to something more
than one-third of America's imports, as
rubber comes in at the rate of about
157.000 tons annually.
The restriction, determined upon
after consultation with the War Indus?
tries Board and in pursuance with the
Trade Board's policy of conserving
tonnage for military requirements, was
ordered into effect immediately by the
Bureau of Imports. It was announced
that all outstanding licenses for the
import of rubber from overseas will be
void for ocean shipment as to ship?
ments made from abroad after to-day.
The announcement said further that
the requirements of the United States
and the Allies will be met in full and
the rest of the 25,000 tons licensed
will be parcelled among manufacturers
of rubber products on the basis of their
consumption during 1917.
