ENGLAND CHANGES MINISTRY
New Cabinet Organized to Govern Dur
ing Hostile Observation-Disclosures
Still Head of Army.

London, May 26-Great Britain has
organized a new national cabinet to
govern the country during the war.
The change was made necessary by
the general dissatisfaction with the
work Of the retiring ministry in fail
ing to pursue the war more vigorous
Iy. An especial fight was made on
Winston Churchill, first lord of the adj
miralty, and on Lord Kitchener, secre-
tary of state for war.
The new cabinet is composed of men
Of all parties. If the United States
were at war and the president should
dismiss his old cabinet and form one
composed of representative men OF
the acknowledgements Republicans,
Socialists, etc.-the situation would be
the same as it is in England at pres
ent.
Lord Kitchener retains the post of
secretary of state for war in the new
coalition cabinet which has received
the approval of King George. The new
first lord of the admiralty will be Ar
thur J. Balfour. Winston Spencer
Churchill, former head of the admir-
atty, is given the portfolio of chancel-
lor Of the Duchy Of Lancaster.
Herbert H Asquith retains the pre-
miership, and Sir Edward Grey the
ministry Of foreign affairs. David
Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex-
chequer in the old cabinet, is minister
Of munitions in the new one.
A place in the cabinet was offered
to John Redmond (the Irish Nation
aIist leader, but he did not see his
way to accept it.
The prime minister has decided a
new department shall be created, to be
called the ministry Of munitions,
charged with organizing the supply OF
munitions of war Mr.. Lloyd-George
has undertaken the formation and tenn
porary direction of this department.
The cabinet is composed Of twelve
Liberals, eight Conservatives, one La
borite, and one non-partisan. Thir-
teen members of the old cabinet re-
main in Office.
The most prominent figure who re-
tires from public life is Viscount Hal
dane. His affiliations with Germany
and the continued newspaper attacks
based on these, made his retirement
as inevitable as Prince Henry Of Bat
| tenberg's retirement some time ago
from the admiralty for the same rea-
son,

BRITISH LOSE A BATTLE SHIP
Majestic Sunk by Torpedo in Darda-

Blown to Pieces.

London, May 28.-Amidst the activ-
tiles on land and sea and in the air
from the Dardanelles to the waters
around the British Isles, middle Ga
licia remains the scene of the greatest
and most important fighting. There
the Austrians and Germans continue
to batter at the Russian lines to the
northeast and southeast of Przemysl,
ana, according to reports which have
not been confirmed by official state
ments, they have severed communica-
tions between the former Austrian
fortress and Lemberg.
If these reports are true. Przemysl
which less than three months ago was
taken by the Russians after long
siege, is again surrounded. 1t would
appear, however, that while the leu
tonic allies are pressing very hard on
the fortress they have not yet forged
the circle, the completion of which is
being stubbornly opposed by the Rus
sians
The Germans have forced another
crossing of the San river eleven miles
north of PrzemysI and have extended
by several miles the zone held by
them east of the San. To the south
east they also claim to have broken
the Russian lines and to have taken
some important positions.
Petrograd Hopeful.
Despite all these claims, Petrograd
announces with the greatest optimism
it's belief that the Russian reinforce
ments will be able to stem the Austro-
German onslaught
In the west the French and British
report further advances, which are
generally denied by the Germans.

London, May 28.-The British battle

The Majestic, which was the oldest
battleship of the active list of the Brit

matter from Washington under his
frank concerning what he terms the
pernicious effects of Woman Suffrage.
The Senator is like a good many
other politicians who are exercised
over equal suffrage. He is afraid
that woman's vote will weaken the
political boss. There may be some
good argument against equal suf-
frage for a Republican 1--WE don't be-

has any regard for the principles OF
true Democracy. If Democracy means
anything it means that every human
intelligence, male or female, accord
ed rights and responsibilities of citi-
zenship, is entitled to franchise, and
neither has the moral right to
abridge the others vote. That a
woman, left to the care of her fami-
1y and the management of her hus-
bands business affairs, must submit
to the wishes of CONSCIOUSNESS, IT.
responsible voter, is indeed, to our
mind, travesty on the name OF
Democracy. Equal suffrage, however
should be extended only to qualified
voters who can read and write, either
male or female, and those who fai

tional advantages should be grouped
with voters under legal age, not en-
titled to the ballot. The ballo
should be intelligent and that 1tsel

machine should not exist, but al
