Crisis Passed in British Affairs.
Great Britain on Monday. has pass
ed through perhaps the most mo-
mentous crisis of the last two
hundred years of her history. Three
parties. namely. the king, the cabi-
net and the opposition have fought
a life or death battle, with the re-
suit that the government and Ire
land have won. 1t probably will be

the most crushing attack of blue
blood reactionary a~ristocracy upon
B~ritish-Irish democracy ever known.
says a London dispatch.
1t would be difficult to ~exaggerate
the difficulties of the cabinet in the
crisis. At the same time it is i'm
possible TO applaud the way they
handled the situation so far as their
resistance to the Tories in the house
of commons and the matter of res
ignations of ornamental cavalry Of
fcers are concerned. This ought to
have been expected a long way ahead
and accordingly discounted.
What was not anticipated was the
social influence likely to be invoked
with accompanying obstacles.
Although developments in the doc
trine of cabinet responsibility" dur
ing the last three centuries suppos-
eddy made the British monarch a
cipher in such a crisis as this. yet
the fact that King George last Satur-
day received Lord Roberts, who only
last February IL stated in the house
of lords that lit Is unthinkable that
the British army should be called
upon to fight the Ulster volunteers
presumably for the purpose of asking
Roberts advice. was the gravest blow
that the present cabinet has received.
Had Asquith taken a strong stand
and insisted that the king confine
himself to his constitutional adeis.
ers, ii is believed that the trouble of
the last three days never would have
arisen. But, nevertheless, much as
the cabinet is criticised, the fact re-
mains that they have won, and. in
the words of War Minister Seeley in
in the house of these
officers now have been ordered tc
rejoin their units" while Lord Nor
ley. in the house of lords, announced
This majesty approves of these Off
GERS being ordered to rejoin," Lord
Chancellor Heldane added: They
must rejoin Internationally"
According to radical members OF
parliament. "Asquith has won
with every unit of reaction against
him."
At the same time, in the eyes OF
the home rulers. the victor is totally
unsatisfactory, being in many ways
worse than defeat. None believe the
governments story that General Pag-
ct exceeded his instructions in the ui-
timatum he issued to the officers
under his command. As a matter of
fact, Lloyd-George's speech of Satur.
DAY exactly bore out Paget's words
10 his subordinates. and 1t is consid-
cred a pity that the cabinet gained It's
victory at the expense of Paget's
integrity.
Midland Trail to Nevada State Line.
Another link in the Midland trail
will be ready for use about June Is
through the letting of contracts We'd
nesday by the state road commission
for the construction of se~venty-five
miles of earth road through Box
Elder county, starting at ~Snowville
and terminating at the Utah-Nevada
line.
The appropriations for the road,
which will cost about 100000, were
made by the last legislature. but III
construction work has been done as
the exact route had not been deter
mined until recently. The county
