CABINET CRISIS PASSED.

The cabinet crisis in England ap pears to have been of greater signifi canoe than any that has occurred dur ing the present European war. I was not so much the result of a con flict between two parties Cr faction. as it was between two men--Premiel Asquith and War Secretary Lloyj George. It was a battle Of the giants and the world watched the confiict.
 The Premier was forced out anu Lloyd George was elevatel 10 his place after a temporary interregnun of Bonar Law. AS the crisis came tC a showdown, however, the labor par ty supported Asquith in his conten- tions, and the London Press announc- ed that Lloyd-George had lost out in the first test of strength. The War Secretary rendered his resignation which the cabinet accepted, and aft CT rendering the office to Bonar Law the labor leader, the King gave the name of Lloyd-George to the cabinet for confirmation.
 The controversy grew cut of the conduct of the war under the present coalition ministry. and while there seems to have been general agree ment in the cabinet in favor of the creation of "war councir' compos- ed of from three to five men, the break between Asquith and Lloyd George, according to advices from London, occurred on the question of the premier's heading the council, which Lloyd-George strenuously ob- jected to.
 Just what Lloyd-George's objection to this plan was has not been clearly disclosed, except that he believed Asquiths policies vacillating and too lenient, and that stronger man should conduct the war campaign to insure success.
 Both leaders in the contrt versy are popular in England and have weathered the stormy period brought cn Uy IHc wal III d way IAd! hoo uohS credit to themselves. LloyG-George has made the most spectacular rise, however, and is commonly known as the strong man" of England. His popularity with the masses is his greatest political asset. As Chancel- Tor of the Exchequer he placed Bri- tain's finances on a substantial soun- dation and as Minister of Munitions turned England into a vast munitions factory. As War Minister he had greater authority and ever, and it seems highly probable that he will yet occupy the niche in popular es- teem that Lord Kitchener held. The people have great faith in his ability.

SUFFRAGE MILITANT.

The first sign of militancy in the
 suffrage movement since the election
 was given while the President was
 I eading his annual message to Con. Igress the fourth Of the present month
 The demonstration did not take that
 form that marked the activities of Ithe Pankhurst propaganda ill Fir
 gland, but the exploit of the feminists
 was a trifle more daring than any
 thing they have attempted in the pat
 and had the President not been sport enough to greet it with a smile, might have caused him temporary embar- rassment.
 The suffragists won the distinction of having carried their fight into the halls of congress ahead of any of the other agandists-unless the ex- ception be the anti-high-cost-of-liv- ing movement. They chose a most effective way of attracting attention to the battle because it was a spec tacular one.
 The members of the congressional union resent the statement that the yellow banner bearing the words, "Mr. President, What Will You Do For Woman Suffrage?" was smuggled into the House chamber in a hand bag, and made the important correc- |tion that it was carried under a Ne Ivada woman's coat. The militants had their program arranged on sched- |ule and just as the President reach ed the only part of his address they thought made the occasion, they ur- furled the banner. It was at the point where President Wilson, in dis cussing the Porto Rican bill said, "The present laws governing the isl and and regulating the rights and privileges of it's people are not just. :"
 It is probable that this demonstra- tion presages others of like charac- ter and the President and Congress will be allowed no peace during the winter by the suffrage workers. The women may not be able to accom- plish much during the present Con- gress, but in view of the support accorded him by the feminine vote during the late election, President Wilson would be doing his duty to advocate universal suffrage. Just why an ignorant foreigner should be more competent to judge the affairs of a nation and cast his vote there for than an intelligent American wo- man can hardly be understood in this Gay of progress. During the barbaric era when women were forced to tend to the crops and herds while their lords and masters engaged in the princely pastime of war, it was mete and proper that woman should have no voice in the affairs of state; but woman's sphere has enlarged until man has become second in the race for supremacy, and women have talk en his jobs, his offices, his pastimes, and in many cases, his. trousers.
