London, March 2e.-At one time yesterday 1t seemed almost certain that as a result of the Army-Ulster crisis the government would dissolve and a general election be held As the electrical debate in the House of Commons proceeded. however, it be- came clear that Premier Asquith was determined to hold on He rallied his forces by the declaration that neither the army nor the navy would be allowed to dictate to the govern ment and that the troops must opey whatever orders are Issued to them
 Colonel Seely, secretary of state for war, after accepting the full respon- sibility for the assurances given to the officers in Ireland. pronered his resignation, which MT. Asquith de- c1ined to accept
 A new and perhaps more dangerous crisis which may lead to further res ignations of ministers, was created last night by Lord Morley of Black 'tburn who, during the course of speech in the House Of Lords. made the important admission that two un- authorized paragraphs added to the Cough letter were drafted by Colonel Seely in consna6a ton with himself
 WANT MORLEY TO RESIGN
 The conservative morning newspa-
 
 contend that Lord Morley. who holds the office Of lord president of the council, ought also to resign.
 This admission by Lord Morley amounts to a direct contradietion of Colonel SeeIy's explanation that he alone was responsible and that his action was not known or disclosed to any of his colleagues.
 Ie also is in conflict with MT. As quith's general statement of the. sig- norance Of the ministers in the mat ter, and in the circumstances it is still a question whether Colonel Seely'S resignatior1 will not in the end be ac- cepted.
 Tn fact, Lord Mor1ey's statement has put an entirely new complexion on the incident which will require further elncida ton and lead to re- newed discussions in Parliament
 LIBERALS THREATENED
 The liberals are in good spirits be- cause they believe. they are going to gain in the country on the cry that the military is interfering in politics, while the unionists are satisfied that the country will support the Ulster loyaITsts.
 4 The government published yester- day it's promised statement of it's dealings with the revoIting officers of the Third Cavalry brigade. and the
 
 ed and disorderly session. Between the doehnents presented and the statemente drawn from the cabinet ministers the vital facts of the whole affair were made clear. They reveal a comedy, or tragedy, of errors perpetrated by Colonel Seely and General Sir Arthur Paget, conn mahding the troops in Ireland.
