With Reports Current of a
Cabinet Crisis Ministry
Meets to Take Up
Lord Derby'S Sch me.
PRESENT GOVERNMENT
NEAR BREAKING POINT
Continued Attacks From
Without and Within EX-
peCted to Result in Sen
SatiOnal Developments.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-With reports
current of a cabinet crisis, the
ministry met today to take what was
expected 10 be final action upon the
report of Lord Derby regarding his
enlistment scheme. The cabinet
decision was expected TO be fraught
with grave import, not only for the
British army of the future. but also
for the ministers themselves, par
ticUIarly Premier Asquith and Sec'y
Of War Kitchener.
Continued attacks on the cabinet
from within as well as from with
out-have Weakened the strength
of the present government TO such
point that impartial observers
would not be surprised by sensa-
tional developments in the near flu
ture. The governments loss of
strength is not with repect TO the
aims of the war, but rather with re-
ference to the confidence of the
country in the ministry's ability to
carry out the purposes for which
Britain is lighting.
Lord CurzOn i'm Front.
For several months Minister of
Munitions LlOyd-GeOrge appeared
the logical candidate for the pre-
miership in case Asquith were forced
out Then Sir Edward Carson forg-
ed TO the front as a logical recip-
lent of the coveted post, but today
there is a third candidate in the
person of Lord CurzOn of Kendle-
stone, holding the post Of lord of
the privy seal in the present cabinet
Lord Curzon may ultimately be-
come the strongest of the three,
owing TO the tendencies which are
likely to deprive Lloyd George and
Carson of some of their more con-
sentative supporters.
If Lord CurzOn should win out in
the triangular contest which is being
waged by his friends against the
supporters of Lloyd and Car
son, Lord Kitchener would retire
from the war office. Kitchener forced
the cabinet to agree with him as TO
the conduct Of India's affairs when
CurzOn was viceroy Of India. Cur
ION was overruled, and it would be
impossible for the two men to serve
in the cabinet.

Kwel-Chow and Szech-Wan that
Gen. Tsai-Ao, the revolutionary
leader. had enrolled under his BAN
ner 100000 fully equipped soldiers.
Gen. Tsai-AO was in Pekin when
Yuan. Shi-Kai accepted the tender of
the throne and it was known that
he intended to start a revolt, if the
republican form of government was
changed, but he fled in disguise when
his arrest was ordered and made his
way safely to the city Of YunNan-
Flu. where he had previously served
as military governor during the early
days of the republic.
Government officials had thought
that Tsai-Ao would have little in
-fiuence in the districts outside Of
Yun-Nan provinces, but the re-
ports OF revolt in three other prov
inces led them TO alter their opin-
ion today. The governments forces
sent Yun-Nan probably will be
largely increased.
