NEW BRITISH
CABINET CRISIS
Unfavorable Reception and the With
drawal of the Military Service
Bill Commented On.

London, April 29,The morning news
papers virtually all speak of the situa-
ton which has arisen in Parliament
through the unfavorable reception and
the withdrawal of the government mill
tary service bill as a new political crisis.
The Daily News lobby correspondent
says:
1.-The incident shows tits useless for
sections of the ministers to agree on Il
compromise, if they have not secured the
consent of their respective supporters.
The cabinet was deluded by the secret
sessions, and assumed that because the
plan was not then upset, it would att
erwards receive the assent of the House.
The secret sessions are now condemned
even by their authors as absurd, and
not to be repeated. The alleged compro-
mise obviously satisfies nobody, and the
cabinet had to withdraw the bill or in
vite immediate defeat, which would have
meant its departure from Office"
The Daily News notes that the Nation
alist party have decided to withdraw the
support which they hitherto had given
to the coalition cabinet and viii hold
themselves hereafter free to act indie
as their own policy dictates.

chant marine, are the only remedies nee
essary, to make commerce of the United
States ascend to dizzy heights in bulk
and value of shipping.
That the European war proved big
incentive to foreign commerce OF the
United States is shown in statistics Civ
en- by the secretary AT the same time
the relative Importance OF shipments OF
strictly war articles has been generally
exaggerated, he asserted.
"a great many persons believe the mu-
milton shipments form the bulk of our
foreign trade" Mr.. Redfield said. "While
it is true that our trade in arms, supplies
and articles used by armies of the bel
ligerent powers is very great yet the
proportion which such exports. bear to

Figures supplied by the secretary tell
the story. For the 10 months of the war

ports of ammunition, firearms and "ar-
ticles suitable for war purposes" totalled
1890, SOS, 472, an increase of $696 ,l2S, 249,
or 236 per cent over exports for the same
period of 19l2-l9l4. For the same time
exports of all other articles aggregated
SAIL los, 257, an increase of SAT-, 1857,
262, or only IL per cent.
"Included in this summary of articles
suitable for war purposes however"
Redfeld said, "are many articles that
are also shipped in times of peace and
have peace uses. This includes horses
and mules-now largely used for army
purposes, but also shipped in times of
peace for peaceful purposes brass and
manufactures of brass, cars, carriages,
automobiles, hay, iron and steel, wool,
zinc and numerous other products.

CANAL OPEN TO ATTACK.
Practice Maneuvres Demonstrate Land
Possibility.

Panama, April 29.-The army maneu,
vres in the canal zone, undertaken on
an extensive scale to work out problem.
connected with the defense of the Pa
cifc entrance to the canal, have reached
an interesting stage.
The Blue army, commanded by Colonel
Charles G.. Morton. which Thursday
reached Chorrera, on its march to defend
the canal, came in contact yesterday
morning with the Orange army. under
Colonel John 5. Mallory, which is
attacking the canal, after theoretically
having effected a landing near the vii
lage of New Gorgona.
A contact was made between the OPP
posing cavalry outposts. which presages
that the main action between the op-
posing forces probably will come within
two days This engagement, it seems
likely. will involve possession of Cspira
Pass. through which the attacking force
must come, thus making possession Of the
pass the main objective Of each army.
According to Brigadier General Clar-
ence r. Edwards, commander Of the canal
zone, the msn@uyres already have dem
onstrated the feasibility Of a hostile at
tack overland from either Chame bay or
near Aguadulce.
Captain William r. Pratt. naval aide
on General Edwards staff. has asked the
secretary Of the navy TO detail cruiser
and several submarines TO a permanent
station at each end Of the canal.

AMAZING SPREAD
OF SENTIMENT
Several Leaders of 1909 Rev.
olution Are Back of
the Movement

| Athens, April %, via Rome and Paris
April Gan impartial observer who
has just returned from a tour of all the
mainland of Greece reports an amazing
spread of sentiment in favor of Elliptic
rion Venizelos, the former premier, even
in conservative Peloponnesus.
The recent efforts of the government
to suppress the demonstrations and
meetings of the Venizelos adherents has
awakened deep resentment among the
people, and there is a growing deter
mination to GUST the present government,
even if it be necessary to resort to arms,
The Associated Press learns from in
contestable authority that several lead
ers of the revolution of 1909 are actively
engaged in planning similar attempt,
although Venizelos deprecates this, and
advises instead the practice of patience
and use of legal methods. On the other
hand the recent plot against him failed
only by a hairs breadth, owing to the
extraordinary devotion and watchfulness
of his followers.
Frequent talks with King Constantine
have convinced the Associated Press cor
respondent that the monarch honestly is
persuaded that a policy of inaction is
approved by majority of the Greek
people. The king persists in regarding
the recent demonstrations of this grow
ing popularity of Venizelos as mere po-
litical maneuvres.
The weakness of the opponents of the
former premier lies in the discomfort
among the rar'- and file OF the army,
who largely end the meetings of the
Nenizelos followers, and who are openly
and declare that a purpose
less mobilization is depriying their fam
lilies of their support.
1t is stated in well informed quarters
that so many soldiers have returned toI
their homes without permission that the
general staff is unable to treat them as
deserters, and is obliged to grant them
leave which they already have taken.
Even the officers of the army with the
exception Of those in higher command,
are Disconnected, notwithstanding that
an increase of pay has been granted to
them by royal decree.
Neutral diplomatic observers who are
in position to Judge declare that the i
present situation cannot last 90 days

against Bulgaria relieves the tension by |
sweeping the Greeks into war with their
ancient enemies political cataelysm in

MORE TROUBLE IN HAITI.
Senate Refuses to Abide by Dissolution
Decree

Port-au-P Prince, Haiti, April 29.-Dis-
pute between the government and Parlia-
sment, as result of which the legislative
body met in a private building Thurs
day, arose from the issuance of the de-
cree dissolving the Senate. This decree
also charged the status of the deputies
by making them members of national
council which was charged with the
framing of a new constitution in con-
formity with the treaty with the United
States.
Both the Senate and the chamber de-
clined to accept the decree, and after
conferences had been held with the Amer.
lean military authorities they met as
national assembly and opened legisIa-
tive session. The meeting was held in a
private house because the regular legis-
lative chambers had been closed by ex-
ecutive order.
The dispute has been limited thus far
to the ministry and Parliament. Presi-
dent Dartiguenave has taken no active
part in it.

British File Said to Have Bunk

Of Naval Warfare.

An event which may be almost as
revolutionary of methods Of naval war
fare as was the appearance OF the Mon
itor in Hampton roads has just been re-
ported to naval officials here under
cover Of a private letter from an Amer
lean naval officer who has been closely

sets out the incident:
"A friend Of mine. for some time q

told me that British hydro-aeroplane,
carrying a torpedo between pontoons.
few over the Ga1lipoli peninsula ana
aliehted in the Sea Of Marmora, heading

Is absolutely a fact"

Navy Department have been working
out plans for the use Of submarine
torpedoes in connection with hying

Of the hydroaeroplane by a British
aviator As q vehicle for transporting
and discharging torpedoes is the first

SAY CAUSE WILL NOT SUFFER
Woman sufragists Not Discouraged
BY House Committees Action.

The one outstanding feature of the
view taken by the officers of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation concerning the recent action on
the federal suffrage amendment by the
House judiciary committee Is that the
cause of woman suffrage will not suf-
fer from the postponement which was
voted on that occasion.
"Postponement by committee is not
defeat for woman suffrage" says Mrs.
Frank M. Roessing. first vice president
Of the association, and in charge of
its congressional work. ut must be
emphasized that there were votes
enough in that particular meeting of
the judiciary committee to have buried
our amendment for two years instead
of merely delaying committee action.
ut speaks volumes for the cause of
equal suffrage when men in Congress
ayowedly opposed to 1t refuse to de-
feat it, and it Is but just to refer to
that phase Of the matter, especially
when at least four members of the ju-
dietary committee who favor suffrage
were known to be unable to attend the
I'm the meantime the policy of our
association toward securing the enact
ment. by Congress of legislation for
equal suffrage remains unchanged. and
our work. both in Washington and in
the states, will be pushed with un-
abated vigor."

were always In the hands Of a veter-
marian and 1t seemed to be economy to
swap them of for an automobile.
Thereupon q trade was made. horses
and $500 cash to boot for 1912 tour
ing car that weighed 1900 pounds and
was so far behind the times that no
parts for 1t were obtainable. He said
that when he footed up the years ex-

machine had cost $1.367 in a year and
that to maintain 1t had cost 1926 extra.
