The British Cabinet Crisis.

The British Cabinet crisis springs from long
agitation for a vigorous and daring prosecu-
ton of the war. Aside from partisan politics
which are present to a certain extent no doubt,
there is rather widespread feeling that something
should be done to make England's power and zeal
more effectual.
Much of the criticism against the Asquith min
istry has been unjustihed and some of it has been
pettiIy malicious. but the events of the past two
years. particularly the formation of the coali-
ton ministry in May. 1913. not lacking in evil
dence that the British cause together with the
Allied cause has suffered at times for more ener-
getic decisions The costly misadventure at Gal
Iipoli the diplomatic fumbling with Bulgaria, the
indecisve dealing with Greece and the lack of posi-
tive results from the Salonki expedition all bear
witness to the Allies nishandIng of the Balkan
problem.
When Rumania joined the Entente camp there
were high hopes that those misfortunes would soon
be retrieved; but the disappointment from that
quarter proved keenest of all. In England the
effect was intensified by the fact that German sub
marines were becoming and more of a
menace, despite earlier assurance that adequate
means OF coping with them had been devised In
these circumstances the fire of dissatisfaction
found fuel a-plenty, and the Cabinet crisis, long
threatened came & a head.
The outstanding figures in the situation are Her
bert H. Asquith, England's steadiest statesman,
and David Lloyd-George, the most resourceful.
During his eight years Prime Minister Mr.
Asquth has steered the Liberal party through storm
after storm; and in other like period of the
countrys history. perhaps have there been enacted
many and so varied political and social reforms.
Into his handling of problems, he has carried
the same GOODNESS and poise that marked his con-
duct of affairs in peace. David Lloyd-GeOrge, who
forced the issue that disrupted the coalition Gov
eminent, is bold and dynamic. He has no English
equal for cutting Gordian knots. When the strike
of the Welsh miners threatened the munition in
dustries with disaster through lack of COAL Lloyd
George settled the trouble in the face of seemingly
hopeless difficulties; and he did with a few deft
strokes of tact When the British forces in France
were reduced TO third-rate efficiency for lack of
shells of the right kind and in ample supplies,
Lloyd-George assigned the task, in the newly
created ministry OF munitions, of remedying that
grievous defect. And to his energy and skill of
organization is due the marvellous output of which

The w. and A. Terminals.

A peculiarly important question to be con-
sidered in connection with a new lease for the
Western and Atlantic railroad is that of Atlanta
terminals. The interests of the State and OF the
railway companies as well those Of the city are
deeply concerned.
The States road cannot develop it should
IN value and usefulness without adequate terminal
facilities The other railroads are similarly de-
pendent and il Is a matter OF common knowledge
that both their freight and passenger terminals
are In need Of reorganization. Atlanta's vital in
terests are involved for not until the grimy chasm
that now sewers its business heart is displaced can
any farreaching plan of civic improvement be car
ried forward.
In these circumstances it is the plain duty of
the Western and Atlantic Commission to see that
the new lease contains some provision whereby a
way for the solution Of the terminal problem will
be open. This should be done matter both of
economy and justice. Work that be done now
or in the near future for five six million dollars
will cost ten or twenty times that much If left to
grow continually more extensive and complex The
railroad terminals in Atlanta must be reorganized
soon or late; the sooner, the cheaper and better
for all concerned
Through the Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta
has submitted 10 the Commission plan designed
especially for these needs by the most noted railway
terminal engineers in America; and with the
sent of the State and the railroads that splendid
plan will be carried into effect without cost to
either Whatever is done. the Commission should
not fail to reserve in the new lease, whenever it
may be made, the States privilege of authorizing
terminal improvements as far as the Western and
Atlantic property is concerned. That privilege
be reserved without in any wise impairing the
rental value of the ". & A. because such improve
ments as are contemplated would make the road
strongest in the very respect in which it is now
weakest and would increase its facilities meal
eulably.
This is a matter in which the interests of the
State the railroads and the city interdependent

living soul.
Thus advertising not only enlarges business; it
radically changes the nature of business.
By it business passes from bureaucracy and
autocracy into democracy. 1t takes the whole peo-
pie into its growth. 1t enters the veins of the
commonwealth. 1t becomes function of COM
munal life.
Without advertising comes decay and death.
This is not only true of grocer or draper, but
equally true of any form of organized service.
Railroads, street cars, gas, electricity COM
panes and similar forms of public utility are in a
bad way; they complain that every mans hand is
against them and that legislation is hostile. The
cause of their plight is that they have not adver-
tsed properly Even at this late day an intelligent
program of advertising might save them. Without
that, their days are numbered.
The telephone people spending deal of
money talking to the public through the news
papers. 1t is the wisest, shrewdest move corpor-
alton ever made. Somebody in the telephone
company had vision.
Nations need advertising. If they would adver-
tise they would prevent War is the self
expression of dumb brute force. Advertising is the
seIf-expresson of intelligent strength that knows
how to speak.
1t is the something plus in advertising that is
significant
1t is this something plus that makes advertls-
ing to business what art is to handiwork, what
music is to feeling, what language is to the soul.

Russia and COnStantin Ople.

Though it has been assumed that if the Allies
are victorious Russia will get Constantinople and
the straits the first official as far as the public
is concerned is Premier Trepoffs recent announce
ment in the Duma that definite agreement to
that effect was concluded with England and France
in 1915 and later was approved by Italy.
Constantinople with a free outlet to the open
sea has been for centuries the dream and goal of
Russian craftsmanship. Necessity no less than am
bition spurred these wishes The development
of the Empires resources, the expansion of its
commerce, the security of its vital interests in time
of all demand port southern waters The
lack of such outlet has been one of Rus
sia's gravest handicaps in the present struggle
Her only means Of sea communication with her
allies has been the farnorthern port of Archangel
which is frozen a greater part of the year; Vladi-
vostok, the Pacific, is five thousand miles from
the country's western frontier Russia according
ly regards the Bosporus and the DardanelIes as
keys to her destiny.
In former plans to obtain Them her great OBJ
stacle has been England who looked upon Russia
a dangerous rival in the East and the one Power
above all others which British interests could not
afford to see established at Constantinople. Years
ago, however, those apprehensions ightened or
at least, became less talked of; and early in the
present war England along with France realized
that the question longer whether Constan-
tinople and the straits should become Russian or
remain Turkish, but whether they should become
Russian or remain German" The interests of
England and France no less than of Russia were
menaced by the Berlin to Bagdad railroad and
its accompanying plans for Teuton sweep into the
East. Russias need and Britain's security thus
became interdependent instead of hostile as they
once had seemed, and consent to Russian control
at Constantinople in the event of Allied victory
was readily forthcoming.

When he bolts you from earth with
his swift.moving eye,
I wonder how chesty he feels!
He can tilt up your chin in beautiful

He can twist your poor neck like a

With a jab Of his fist on the end Of
your nose
He can make you profile divine.
He is not bit scared about changing
