ENGLAND HAS
WORST CRISIS
KNOWN IN SYRS
PREMIER ASQUlTH DID NOT
MAKE STATEMENT OF RE-
cRUITINc QUESTION YES
TERDAY.

LONDON, April 1S.-Premier AS
Quith will not make his expected state
ment in the house of commons on the
recruiting question, according 80 an
official announcement made at IL
Downing street today.
The postponement was taken as an
indication that the cabinet minister's
were untable to reach an agreement on
this subject which has brought about
the most serious crisis the prime min
lister has had to meet in his eight
years as head of the government.
The decision came as a complete
surprise to those not within the inner
circle, but it later transpired that ne
gotiations had been pogress during
the night and early morning with
that end in view.
Besides the cabinet meeting there
was conference of the special com
mittee appointed to make a final eff
fort to bring about a solution of the
problem, but it also was unable to
reach an agreement and a postpone
ment of the premier's statement be-
came imperative unless an immediate
break up of the coalition was to be
faced.
Premier Asquith is expected to ex-
plain in the house of commons the
reasons for the postponement of his
statement and will be asked when the
governments decision will be com
municated to parliament. Upon his
answer wiz depend whether Sir Ed
ward Carson will move his resolution
demanding service for all men of mil
itary age.
