London, Aug. THE appointment Of Lord

naught with the promotion to the rank OF Held
marshal is a ministerial confession that the
best military organizer Is not wanted near the

better than a sinecure. Mr.. Haldane. who had
not known what to do with Lord Kitchener

TBy French cable 10 IN. Tribune, ls

London. Aug The government is gaming

League. Sir Henry Normal is the director OF
the educational campaign throughout the king
dom, and has conducted il so successfully mat
the Unionist press is demoralized. THE Daily
Telegraph" holds out against surrender TO
demagogues. but THE Times" and The Daily
Mail" are against a rejection or amendment OF
the budget by the Lords. md The Morning
Post" advocates a more strenuous support Of
tariff reform. The Liberals have shown superior
Judgment and intelligence in saying as much as
possible about the budget and the social reforms
which can be financed by it, while the Union
lists under Mr.. Balfour's lead -rship, have as
sumed that it is safer TO say as little as pos
she about tariff reform.
The ministers are receiving the reward for
courage, whereas the Opposition is paying the
penalty for a policy Of evasion. Popular audi
enoes are interested in the budget and are
amused by the TRADES of dukes and earls against
II. Meetings organized for the purpose of en-
phasizing public hostility TO il are failures
The Unionists beginning 10 realize that
budget smashing by the Lords will be highly
dangerous pastime and that IL will be more
prudent 70 let the finance bin go through and 10
take I'D social reforms themselves, with a tariff
as an alternative system Of revenue.
The Prime Minister is expected TO sum up the
for the budget AZ Birmingham on the eve
Of the passage Of the bill through the Commons
in the middle Of September. Scores Of Liberal
meetings viii be held during the interval and
evidence viii be provided That the brewers are
raising prices before a tax is imposed and that
the grievances OF dukes and urban landlords do

mocracy with crude socialism
While the Uuionst press has got out Of hand

authority. There are ne effective measures for
counteracting the organized radical agitation
