The political seers gather that Mr..
AsGuith is In fighting mood He locks

proposes TO make the organization OF 3
the army fighting issue.
The whole army system may have
to be recast," Col. Seely renarked
significantly to-day. The flrst bust
ness will be to find a successor for
Sir John French, whose withdrawn
leaves crest void at the war office.
The name of General Sir Ian Hamilton
Is discussed the most. General HAM
ilton holds the position OF INSPECTOR
of the overseas forces, at q salasy OF
$4,000, and the government w0id be
glad to abolish the Office. &
Both houses today debated the situs

simmered down into mere iAsseftsOsis,,
on the one side, of the plot TO aedtiee u
