Hints at Disaster Unless There Is a

LONDON, March S.-Winston Spencer
Churchill, former first lord of the ad-
miralty, now a colonel and fresh from
the trenches. sprang back into the
parliamentary arena yesterday in a
daring speech, answering First Lord of
the Admiralty Balfour, who had just
presented the naval estimates, and de-
claring that the admiralty lacked driv-
ing force and must be revitalized before
it was too late, by bringing back Lord
Fisher, the former first sea lord, to
head the admiralty administration.
Mr.. Balfour had just concluded an
optimistic statement of the naval out
look, which strongly appealed to the
patriotic sentiments of the house of
commons so that Col. Churchill's criti-
cisms were at first coldly received. But
he gradually gathered attention and
applause, until he closed amid a scene
of much enthuSia SIN.

The final vote on the motion by Rep

the same majority as the admnistra-

the day, that on the adoption of the
rule.
Democrats More Surprised.
The aftermath of the row shows that
the democrats were more surprised
than were the republicans, as no one
had estimated that ninety republicans
would vote with the administration.
The thirty-four democrats. mostly
Bryan men, who stood out against ta-
bling the resolution, were. of course, far
outnumbered by the republicans
The vote is the answer to the Presi-
dents request for show down on the
cloakroom threat that Congress would
not uphold him in his negotiations
with foreign governments. The action
of the House in landslide vote of this
kind is quite in accord with previous
performances, as many cloakroom
