Administration Supporters Take Ad.

Just when the rules committee had
agreed on an arrangement to parcel

Administration supporters, chafing
at the delays, got their forces into po.

on all their resources to hamper the
measure.
President Wilson, confident of the
success of the fight, received reports
on the situation at the White House.
Leaders assured him safe majority

The senate began its own debate
with speech by Senator owen. Sen.

Officers in reIand-ExampIe May
Be Followed by Others.
London, March 27.-Premier AS.
uuth was brought face to face with a
new crisis by the resignation of Field
Marshal Sir John French, chief of the
imperial staff and virtual head of the
British army.
Other leading officers of the army
were also expected to hand in their
papers as direct outcome OF the
repudiation of the guarantees given
to army officers in ireland.
The premier had declared that
these guarantees were not sanctioned
by the cabinet. Colonel Seely, secre-
tary for war, subsequently resigned
from the cabinet, but the premier re-
fused to accept his action.
The result of a meeting at the war
Office of the principal commanding
generals was awaited with anxiety by
the general public and in political cir
cles, as it was thought they might
take some steps which would virtually
disrupt the army administration.
in the north of Ireland, where the
controversy between Nationalists and
Unionists has been the cause of so
much difficulty to the British govern
ment, there was no disturbance. The
two parties were seemingly content
to await events in London.
More Trouble Coming.
Although it was generally conceded
that Premier Asquith had regained
the upper hand in parliament the gov
ernment has to deal with the army
officers in Ireland under the new con.
ditions established by the premier's
speech in the house of commons
Wednesday.
The premier's speech won back the
support not only of the Liberals, but
of the irish and Labor members OF
parliament by the stand he took in
repudiating the guarantee given to the
mutinous army officers in Ireland that
they might decide whether or not
they would serve against the Ulster
Unionists.
1t is now asserted that as soon as
the government formally withdraws
the guarantees given by Colonel See
ly, secretary for war, and Field Mar
shall Sir John French the officers will
again resign their commissions and
as one of them said, this time in
earnest"
Many Liberals think Premier AS
quith should have accepted the resig
nation Of Colonel Seely, for he always
has been suspected of really being
more Unionist than Liberal in his
sympathies.

Fortunately for jackson, the recent
campaigns up and down the valley
had faded both blue and gray uniforms
into a nondescript drab. AS jackson
sat on his horse and watched the busy
scene. he formed his plan swiftly. He
could not go back: hemust cross that
bridge, and that was his only chance.
1t was the frowning field gun that he
feared. He must put 1t out Of cop-
mission long enough to get ,oeyond its
range. Throwing up his hand to at
tract attention. he shouted to the Of
ficer In command of the gun:
What are you doing with that gun
up there? didn't order 1t there. and
don't want It there!" There was
authority and petulance in his voice as
he added: Timber up. and run 1t over
on that knob over there!"
The offlcer at the gun, thinking that
he had to deal with some superior
officer recently arrived. hastened to
obey without question, explaining In
self.defense that he had understood
his orders otherwise.
Sitting on Little sorrei. while the
federal troops worked busily about
him, Jackson calmly waited until the
gun was limbered of to the new posi-
ton. Then he rode quietly across the
bridge, and up the other bank until he
was we'll out Of musket range. Then
he turned, waved his hand to the as
tonished federals. and, putting spurs
to his horse. galloped away from the
rain of bullets that pattered harm
