n oNDON. March 90. - Great
Britain today has passed
through perhaps the most mo-
- mentous crisis of the last two
hundred years OF her history.
Three parties, namely, the king. the
cabinet and the opposition have
fought a life or death battle. with
the result that the government and
Ireland have won. 1t probably will
he a century before the true secret
history or today is written. but when
that happens II will be seen that
radical government. aided by the
solid phalanx Of Nationalists. has tri-
unphed over the most crushing at
tack of blue-blooded reactionary arIs-
trocracy upon British Irish democracy
ever known.
1t would be difficult to exaggerate
the difficulties Of the cabinet in to-
days crisis. AT the same time 1t Ss
Impossible 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
1gnations OF ornamental cavalry off,
GERS are concerned. This ought to
have been expected a long way ahead
and accordingly discounted.

like Preparations.

LONDON, March 23-The detection
of the army officers who refused to
serve in Ulster is now q closed incl
dent, but its consequences are likely to
prove far-reaching. Premier Asquith
and Colonel Seely, secretary of state
for war, made explanations before an
excited and turbulent house today that
the affair was tho result Of a misun-
derstanding.
The misunderstanding, it was in
ferred, although they did not directly
say so, was due to misconstruction of
the government plans by the conf
manding general, Sir Arthur Paget,
whereby he informed the officials in
Ireland that they were to move on
Ulster for repressive campaign.
General Paget and three senior Of
6eers from the Curragh camp-General
Cough, Colonel McEwan and Colonel
Parker-were summoned to London for
a conference. According to official
statements the misunderstanding has
been cleared away, and these officers re-
turned to Ireland tonight.
Government Surrenders.
Prior to their departure they said
they were entirely satisfied with the
result of their visit. The terms on
which the officers remain at their posts
Il al h-,k he ho
lief is that they were assured that
they would not be compelled to fight
against tho Ulstermen. This is con-
sidered a distinct surrender by the
government,
Lord Morley of Blackburn explained
in the house of lords significantly that
he believed in the interest of the eff
fciency of the army that all that
happened in the army council should be
made public, and that the king ap~
proved tho orders to the officers to re-
turn.
The part the king played in tho
crisis has not been disclosed Army
officers addressed their resignation to
his majesty, and the report is that
the king insisted that the designations
III the present instance should not be
accepted, and used his influence with
the cabinet for compromise with the
army.
Unionists Are Jubilant.
The Unionists firmly believe that the
government has participated in fiasco.
They think that the two most enterpris
ing spirits of the cabinet, David
LLOYD George and Winston Churchill,
were the chief movers in the plan, and
that the government proposed whole
sale movement of troops into Ulster to
overcome tho covepanters by the dis.
plny of superior force and the arrest Of
their leaders, and that the plan was
frustrated only by the opposition of the
officers
Some of the Unonist members as
sert that Andrew Bonar Law recently
received a letter quoting one of the
highest officers in Ireland as saying:
rBy Saturday there will bo hun
dreds of dead in Ulster.''

ernment of making scapegoat of Cen

OGDEN, March 23.-The state fired
one of its largest guns in the prosecu-
tion of Joseph Henry Martin, the al"

when Theodore Kytka, the San Fran
cisco handwriting expert of interna-
tlonal reputation, declared that all of
the threatening letters received by
prominent Ogden people during the
past two years were written by the
same hand that wrote the Martin
samples. Not all of the blaclmail let

For the first time during the pres

much Of the afternoon session. Be-
ginning with the last letter received

ceeded as far back In the history of
the blackmail operations as the first

March, 1913, when court was adjourned

Is Seeking Repeal Because
Majority of Democrats
Favor Such Action.
MAKES NO SECRET

Senator James Informs Ex-
ecutive Vote in the Senate

WASHINGTON. March o3.-President
Wilson asserted tonight that In seeking
the repeal of the Panama tolls exemption
he not only was asking that the nation do
that which it was bound in honor to do,
but was going the way Of the majority
in the Democratic party. lie pointed out
that when the Panama canal act was
passed, majority Of the Democrats then
In the house voted against the tolls
exemption and that only by q coalition
of a minority Of Democrats with a num-
Der of Republicans did the measure be-
come law.
This announcement was taken in ad-
mnistration circles as the presidents an
swer to the argument that the Balti-
more platform made the canal tolls ex-
emDtion a Democratic measure.
The president is OF the opinion that
the opinion of the majority Of Demo-
Gratis, as last expressed, was n result OF
a more deliberate consideration Of the
question than was possible at the Balti-
mora conyenrIon

The president made no secret to callers
OF his anxiety for the repeal measure TO

influences were at work TO prolopg de-.
bate unnecessarily. Mr.. Wilson said 1t
certainly appeared to him as II there
had been filibustering; that mlnorities
always filibustered and disclosed them
selves In filibuSters.
The president is confident he will have
the najorlty Of his party behind him in
the house when the repeal comes to q
vote. He has been assured that at least
200 Democrats will support him and many
Republicans. Senator James OF Kentucky
has informed the president the vote in the
senate would be at least 5S to "a In
