AsQU|7H WAR CHIEF
CABINET HEAD ASSUMES OFFICE
AFTER SEELY REFUSED TO
WITHDRAW RESIGNATION.
RESIGNED FROM PARLIAMENT
English Statesman. In Accordance
With Law, Stands for Reelection
Officers Absolutely Decline to Re-
tain Rank in Army.

London, April Following all the
many solutionse of the government
crisis which had been proposed and
discussed Premier Asquith announced
decision to the house of commons
on Monday which none of the prophets
had expected or even suggested.
The prime minister himself will as
sumo the burden of the war office, in
addition to his other and almost crush
ing duties. He will resign from the
house at this critical STAGE when the
second reading of the home rule oil is
about to be taken up, and will appeal
to his constituents in East Fife. Scot
land. within few DAYS for reelection.
Field Marshal Sir John French, chief
of the imperial general staff, and Gen.
Sir John Ewart, adjutant general, de-
clined to withdraw their designations,
in spite of the army order which Wis
count Haldane cleverly framed as a
platform on which TIE generals might
stand with consistency and honor.
1t thus became impossible for Col.
]. E. j. Seely, who was co-signer with
them of the assurance TO Brigadier
General Cough that the army would
not be used to suppress the Ulster OPP
position to home rule, 10 retain the
secretaryship for war. His resigna-
ton, therefore, was accepted after he
had been for some days under fire
from the newspapers OF his own party,
which insisted that he must go.
Viscount Morley of Blackburn, lord
president of the council, who was part
ner with Colonel Seely in drafting the
offending paragraphs of the docu-
ment, stands in the same position and
his withdrawal from Office is expected.
The only practical loss to the party
meantime will be the withdrawal of
Mr.. Asqulth's voice from the debates.
ooh, I'll be handy if I'm wanted"
Mr.. Asquith remarked to Andrew
Bonar Law, the opposition leader, who
thought that the home rule bill could
not be proceeded with in the absence
of the premier.
Mr. Asquith apparently consulted no
one except the king before his bold
Q6ClSlpH. HIS COl6dSu6S III TIE CdDlu6l
seemed to be as surprised as the other
members of the house when he re-
vealed his plans. Mr.. Asquith is al
ready first lord of the treasury.
The political seers gather that Mr..
Asquith is in fighting mood They
have been saying recently that he had
shown the effects in his physical APP
pearance of the heavy strain of his
long labor in Office and would gladly
see the government defeated. But it
looks at the present moment as though
he had taken new lease of life and
proposes to make the reorganization
of the army fighting issue.
The whole army system may have
to be recast," Colonel Seely remarked
significantly.
Both houses debated the situation at
great length, but the debates simmered
down into mere assertions, on the one
side, of plot to seduce the army, and,
on the other side, of plot TO crush the

ria cried
She rushed across the room and
wrenched open the door. At the foot
of the stairway just before her was
the body of man, limp and motion
less.
It's a man. He's hurt" she called
back to the sick woman as she knelt
to examine him.
He had fallen so that she could not
get a good look at him in the dark
hallway. and she rolled him toward
the door to get him on his back and
see his face. AS she gaZed upon his
countenance the fingers of death itself
seemed TO seize her by the throat Her
heart gave one great leap and then
stood STILL On the floor before her
lay the body of the man she loved
Joel" she screamed. what are you
doing here? Joe. Joe, speak to mel"
But there was no answer. His eyes
were closed. and the pallor of death
seemed to be upon his face.
With strength beyond what she had
ever known herself to possess. Gloria
seized the motionless form and dragged
and rolled the man into Little Elias
room. Before she turned to him again
she closed and bolted the door. Then
she bent over him and begged him to
speak to her, to open his eyes and
know that she was with him.
Joe, don't you know me?" she
pleaded. Then to Little Ella, He's
dead. he's dead. See, he doesn't
move"
YES, he does" answered the other
woman. She had been sitting up in
bed, an excited spectator OF all that
had transpired. Hes breathin' Tear
open his shirt and feel his heart
beat"
Wright was a pitiable object as he
lay on the floor like one dead. His
coat and waistcoat were gone, and his
collar and cravat had been torn away.
On his white shirt were bloody stains.
Gloria felt his heart and was rewarded
by its feeble beat. She next dashed
water from the pitcher over his face,
but without avail. He showed no signs
of returning consciousness. From a
wound just above his temple on the
right side of his head the blood began
to trickle down over his face, making
its pallor all the more CHASTITY. She
had no means of knowing how serious
this was, and naturally came TO the

conclusion that 1t was a death-wound.
There was only one thing to do: get
a physician.
AS she started TO her feet she heard
two men running down the stairs and
making a search from room tc room
on her floor. These must be the men
who had attacked him. She could rot
let him fall into their hands. and there
fore she could not leave him TO go for
aid. The impotence of her position
made her feel like screaming TO relieve
the nervous strain.
What do you know about this?
How did he come here? What has
happened TO him.

A sudden knock at the bolted door
chilled Gloria with terror.
What's that?" she whispered,

Until she spoke they had not seen
her, and both men were taken much
aback. To find a lady there was

checked himself and then continued
in slightly more respectful tone. Il

This encouraged Little Ella to take
her part in the discussion, which she
did with her most strident tones.
What do youse mean, buttin' into

an when l have lady frien' ayisitin'

1t was not this TRADE which had tie
most effect upon them. Both quailed
before Gloria, who stood cycling them
sternly. Then they looked at each
other, and without a word of apology
shambled out into the hall.

Convict Made Pets of Mice.

An interesting story of a convict
and his two ret mice is told in the
report of Captain Hanson, the prison
commissioner of London.
Captain Hanson said the con-
vict, who was imprisoned at Park
hurst, had two pet mice, but was or
dered to another prison, where he
was unable to take his pets Cap
tain Hanson promised to have them
cared for, and himself went to the
cell for the mice.
Never shall I forget the parting
scene" continued the officer. The
man took each of the mice, calling
them by name, kissed them, and then
put them in little box he had lined
with flannel, and with them a piece
of bread and a piece of cheese he
had saved"
