Loss Of ASQU|TH
FELT IN DEBATE
on HOME RULE
Premier'S Firm Hand in Guild
ing Government Through
Crucial Fight is Missed
New Angle of Attack.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON. March S1.-In the most
momentous political struggle that
England has known in a century the
liberal government Tuesday resumed
its fight for home rule. when the bill
granting autonomy to ireland was
called UP in the house of commons
for second reading.
The firm hand of Premier Asquith,
who has guided the home rule fight
through the breakers of hostility and
plumbers, was missing when the fight
was resumed, as he resigned his seat
in commons to seek reelection so as
to make his double portfolio-premier
and war secretary-legal
Sir Edward Grey, the foreign min
lister and a man of little personal
magnetism. was in charge of the gov
ernment's affairs in commons in place
OF Mr.. Asquith.
Mr. Asquith called at the war office
during the morning and held a con-
ference Of several hours with Col ].
T. B. Seely. whose resignation as
secretary of state for war was accept
ed. Later the premier conferred with
Sir Edward Grey on the course to be
pursued in parliament tonight
Although the premier will spend
considerable time making political
speeches in East Fife he has given
assurances that he will be found
handy" in the event his help is needed
here in London in the home rule
fight.
Morley 10 Resign.
The latest resignation expected
from the complicated political situa-
ton is that Of ViscOunt Morley, lord
president of the council. who prob
ably Will be forced from public life
as a result of the army scandal.
Lord Morley is accused OF misrep-
resenting the cabinets policy in re-
gard to army officers in Ireland. al
though he is not accused Of doing so
with irregular intent.
Today's campaign by the OppOsi-
ton forces was waged from an entire
" different angle than that which has
hitherto marked the fight over the
home rule measure. Walter Long
leader Of the debate for the uniOnists
moved the rejection of the measure
when il came up and indicated that
the unionists had reached a decision
to adopt new tactics when he sad:
There's a question whether the
opposition ought to continue the de-
