AS far as could be learned no

we must clear up. Our source of

the Asquith cabinet has also come to
naught.
The easy passage of the military
service bill in commons on second
reading by the overwhelming vote Of

eminent newspapers to show that
the people are with the government
and that its strength cannot be
shaken.
That Premier Asquith's conference
with leaders of the labor party has
borne fruit. is shown by the fact
that Arthur Henderson. William
Brace and George II. Roberts, who
resigned from the government, have
