Dispute Between Churchill and Admiral Fisher Starts
 Political Revolt.
NEW MINISTRY IS
 TO BE ORGANIZED
Arthur BalfOmr to Succeed Chul chill, Who Will Be Indian Secretary. BOnar Law SuperSedes LIOyd-
 George e-AS4Ditil Retains Post.

London May 1S.--ln the midst of the war, 9 cabinet crisis amounting to almost political revolution has sud denly developed in England.
 According to J. l.. Garvin, who is probably the best informed political writer in the country, the cabinet is to be entirely reformed and coali- ton cabinet, which will include the principal unionist leaders, is to take its place.
 The crisis was brought about by an acute disagreement, between Lord Fisher, admiral of the fleet, and Winston Spencer Churchill first lord of the admiralty, in regard to the naval policy to be pursued at the Dardanelles.
 Fisher Resigns.
 "FOllowing the crisis in the admir- alty," Mr. Garvin writes in the Pall Mall Gazette. Lord Fisher has re- signed and is departing immediately for Scotland This makes MT. Churchill's retention of his post inn possible, and has also brought down the government.
 A nation ministry is now about to be formed. The chief opposition lead CTS have already agreed to enter the government
 Lord Fisher and Mr. Churchill ! split over the Dardanelles, but there was also a fundamental incompatible 1 ity.
 Asquith Remains Premier. "Mr. Asquith will remain as pre-. mier. Arthur J. Balfour is expected to be the first lord of the admiralty: MT. Churchill secretary of India; Lord Crewe. president of the council; Mr. Lloyd George, the new minister for war supplies; Bonar Law, chan cellor of the exchequer, and MT. Aus tin Chamberlain colonial secretary
 Lord Reading will become lord chancellor; Sir John Simon, lord chief justice, and MT. F. B. Smith at torney-general. Lord Derby will al- so have a post"
 According to MT. Garvin, Lord Hall dane Beauchamp and Lucas, and also Louis Harcourt and Augustine Bir- rell will retire from the cabinet. Newspapers See Gravity of Situation.
 The ministerial crisis received greater prominence in the evening papers than the developments of the war. The Globe says editorially:
 "Lord Fisher is a seaman of gen. jus and MT. Churchill is but clev- CT amateur at best. It is great cri sis and must be fully met. Why not give Lord Fisher the same control over the navy that Lord Kitchener has over the army?"
 The Pall Mall Gazette says:
 Lord Fisher is the creator of the modern navy. MT. Churchill by his boldness saved an ugly situation at the outbreak of hostilities. We ad- mire the qualities of both, but any man who, but for the gravest reasons, breaks the national unity, will not be slightly forgiven"
 The Westminster Gazette says:
 'It would be a thousand pities If. in this emergency, we could not lay down a principle of administration which would enable us to combine the brilliant qualities of Mr. Church ill with the experience of naval ex- perts."
 As a result of the crisis. Mir. Lloyd- Georges proposed tour of the manu- featuring areas has been postponed.
