TRUCE MAY BE VERY BRIEF
Crisis in British Cabient Is by No
Means Passed.


London, April Is. The political
truce arising out Of the recent cabi-
net compromise is likely to be of brief
duration. David Lloyd-George, minis
ter of munitions, still remains the
storm center; while another point of
difficulty appears to be the attitude of
the Labor party toward the govern
ment.
The acceptance by Arthur Hender-
son, president of the board of educa-
ton, and his supporters in the Labor
party of compromise conditional on
holding secret session of parliament,
which apparently involves the con-
version of the parliamentary Labor
ties to compulsory service should the
information the government is able to
give in the secret session satisfy them
that the necessary men cannot be OBJ
tanned by any other means, is creating
a considerable amount Of suspicion
among labor men outside of parlia-
ment and trade unionists generally,
who are beginning to doubt the wis
dom of holding secret session. They
fear that something will be done be-
hind their backs and that they will
be committed to compulsory military
service against their will

Berlin, April 25.-Additional CON-

had an opportunity to sound public
sentiment, while not bellicose, criti-
cises President Wilson for favoring
the allies against Germany and sew
eral papers consider a breach of rela-
lions inevitable, although they assert
this will not necessarily be followed
by war. Several of the Berlin papers
assume that President Wilson will
not be supported "by congress which
to date has not shown itself eager for
war;
Other papers have a more hopeful
tone and seem to think breach will
be- averted, but they are VIRTUALLY
unanimous in stating that Germany
cannot allow the weapon of subma-
rine warfare to be wrested from her
hands.
