COALITION CABINET
SHOCK TO CANADA
Upsets Confidence That
War Has Been Con
Quoted Properly.

Toronto, May 29. 1t is not putting
it too strongly to say that the Canadian
public has been shocked by the an
nouncement of the coalition Cabinet in
Britain.
No previous occurrence in the war
has so disturbed eQuanimity. The re-
treat from Mons, the early German
naval success, the serious Russian re-
verses, the unhappy incidents at the
Dardanelles, have all been accepted as
the fortunes of war and disregarded
as being insignificant incidents that
did not interfere with the general plan
of operations, where everything was
believed to be going we'll.
The British Cabinet reconstruction
is regarded by Canadians as the plain
est possible indication that everything
has not been going we'll While news
papers express general qualification at
the occurrence, the very unanimity
and absence Of partisanship in their
comment is evidence that the serious
ness of the situation is realized.
The pessimistic view found confir-
nation in the gravity of the words
uSeu Dy Premier hSQultn III MS ltlift
to Bonar Law. in which he admitted
that "the conduct of the war TO a
successful and decisive issue cannot
be effectively carried on except by a
reorgarized Cabinet. This was accept
ed as a rather unequiyocal admission
of failure.
Toronto now claims 10 be the avia-
tion centre Of America. Three schools
