ARMY HEAD MAY GO
CABINET FEARS DISRUPTION IN
RANKS IF MARSHAL QUITS.
Indications Point to Sacrifice of Sec.
retary of War seeIy to Pre-
vent designations.

London, March 2S.-The British gov
ernments situation became more criti-
cal on Thursday. The crisis is fast ap-
preaching. Every indication points to
the sacrifice of Colonel Seely, secre-
tary of state for war, to prevent Field
Marshal Sir John French, chief of the
imperial general staff, and sir John
Spencer Ewart, adjutant general,
from resigning from the army council.
Eoth officials resigned. The resigna-
tions caused Premier Asquith to aban-
don his plan to make further state
ment to parliament, and a cabinet
meeting was called hurriedly. Every
effort was made to induce Field Mar
shal French and the adjutant general
to withdraw their designations. Both
men resigned because they were joint
signers with Colonel Seely to the two
repudiated paragraphs of instructions
to General Couch. They refused to
withdraw their designations unless
Colonel Seely was removed.
Fearful that the detection of it's vir-
tual head would cause the disruption
Of the army, Premier Asquith is be-
lieved to have decided to cast aside
Colonel Seely, and it is said he again
has resigned.
London, March 27-Great Britain's
cabinet is to be reformed with Lloyd
George, present chancellor of the
exchequer, at its head, with the other
members of the cabinet radical Lib
erals. Premier Asquith is to resign.
General elections are to be held
within few weeks, which would spell
the defeat of the home rule bill.
These are the predictions after a
day which will make history in Great
Britain.
