he came to explain more precisely the por-

Interesting reactions to Northcliffe's
letter, however, are to be noted. In Eng
| land there is naturally resentment that
/ England's sacrifices should be so lightly
passed over, while Northcliffe was prais-

H. Thomas, Labor NJ. p, is typical:

Correspondents from Washington hint
that Northcliffe showed bad taste in dis
cussing in a letter written for publica-
ton the relations between Great Britain
and the United States. Again, says The

to "the impotence of Mr.. Asquith. the
feeble leader Of the attack"
Throughout the American press, how
ever, there is an interesting difference
Of opinion as to just why there should
have been an attack on Lloyd George. In
the opinion of "The Philadelphia Public
Ledger" "the recent demonstrations were
obviously the elimination of campaign
for his Lloyd George'sl deposition. which
has for some time been going on The
New York Tribune lays stress on the
fear entertained in England that the Paris
speech meant civilian control over the
direction of the army-a policy sure TO
re disastrous, in view of the Winston
Churchill episodes. Underneath all
else, the main trouble flows from the fact
that Lloyd George some months ago called
Winston Churchill to his Cabinet" says
The Tribune. And further:
Had he not done this it is exceedingly
doubtful if his remarks the other day would
have excited general protest among those
English journalists and public men who are

Peace Symptoms

CYMPTOMS of the peace impulse ap-
~ pear all over Europe. Peace riots occur
in Zurich, in the German-speaking section
of Switzerland, and in Berlin, where
rioters largely recruited from among the
Independent Socialists fight the police,
many casualties resulting. According to
he Petrograd papers, the Kaiser refuses
to treat for peace with the new Soldiers
and Workmen's government. Scheidemann
and Ebert, in Germany, urge Bolshevik
peace The Bolsheviki are reported TO ask
an armistice for all to discuss peace.
Similarly, the German Independent Social
lists are said to favor a discussion Of
Lenines peace terms. Peace hopes are
also raised in Germany by the British and
French Cabinet crises, while German
peace tentative is expected soon by the
Allies. Clemenceau, however. declares
Germany unfit for a league of nations.
The matter of the United States declaring
war on Austria agitates unofficial Wash
ington.

TNGLAND, where cabinets are
wrecked over the week end, has
just undergone another extremely
tempestuous crisis, Lloyd George emerging
stronger than ever. This is all the more
remarkable in view of the fact that the
Premier was at the same time subjected
to both frontal and flank attack by
Asquith on the one hand and by Lord
NcrthclifFe on the other.
The week before, Lloyd George made
very pessimistic speech at Paris, Of
Tending many persons by his frank con-
fession Of Allied errors in the past which
resulted in the disasters of Serbia, Ru-
mania and Italy. At the same time tn:
Premier apparently jumped the gun OF
the Paris conference Of the Allies and
practically put the Inter-Allied War Coun-
eli INTO effect for the purpose II unifying
the Allied military programme
When he returned to London from
Paris, Lloyd George found a cabinet
crisis awaiting him. On the one hand
Asq1ith and others had some interesting
questions 70 ask, and on the other Lord
Northclife bobbed up off an Atlantic
liner with long letter in which he re-
fused the headship Of the English air
portfolio because he disapproved Of
Lloyd Georges relations with America.

Northcliffe's threat Of American control

"The New York Call" the Socialist organ,
makes the journalist out wilful traitor
to his government if the government falls
to suit him. On the other hand. about an
equal mass of press comment reacts favor
ably to Northcifres letters. For instance,
in THE Boston Transcript one comes
upon this paragraph, which, as will be
noted, also introduces the name Of the
colonel
"Northcliffe's letter to Lloyd George is a
dynamic document, an epistolary shell which

is now a colleague of Mr.. Lloyd George in
the present Cabinet, it is easy TO see Why
the thoughtful Englishman is disturbed at
the prospect Of any shift in military control
which might permit Mr. Churchill TO inter-
fere with the army again."
Similarly the "The New York Sun
ascribed the whole excitement less to re-
sentiment over bygone Allied plumbers
and more 10 the question whether British
military effort was going to continue to
be directed by Observation-Disclosures who
felt the final decision was to come on the
western front-or~was to be divided up
between east and west.
If. then, one will add to this fear OF
civilian meddling in military strategy the
fact that Lloyd Georges speech at Paris
was admittedly spectacular and purposely
designed to make Allied flesh creep, one
will perhaps have the sum total OF causes
behind the frontal attack on the Premier.
However. as the New York Evening Post
points out and the Premier half admits,
LLOYD George even in winning did not
"souarely meet Mr.. Asquith's challenge
about the blunders OF the past, in which
the present Premier had his full share
Of responsibility. He evaded the question
whether General Cadorna, instead Of ur-

Saying that America was accomplishing
things that England had taken years TO
co. the journalist warned that unless
British muddling ceased the United States
might be provoked to take the main d.
rection of the war into its own hands. In
cidentally the then head Of the air board,
Viscount Cowdray, promptly resigned as
p result Of receiving through Northcliffe's
letter the first intimation that ne was
to be deposed.
DESPITE this double attack, Lloyd George
went before Parliament and, in answering
his critics. not merely silenced them, but
also increased his prestige. He did this,
for one thing, by showing that the plans
for Allied unity which he put into OPP
Grafton in Paris had been sanctioned be-
forehand by his cabinet. On the other
hand. he showed that he had no inten-
ton of letting civilian control hinder such
generals as Haig and Robertson, and IN
cidentally he confessed nalvely that MS
Paris speech was somewhat touched up
rhetorically in order to shock the Allied
nations into a realization of the necessity
for prompt action-action Wnich' ne
pointed out, Lord Kitchener had urged as
long ago as 1915.
The Premier won hands down. Engilsh
and American press comment unstintediy
gives him credit for winning a notable
political victory. But, says The Ne"
York Times" the victory 'was assured De-
fore the battle began, and that is why II
was not much of battle. The oppo-
sition which suddenly famed up against
him, all based on the vain imagining that
the Paris speech had supplied it with fuel
/ found that this was wet weather for
confagration." Similarly "The New York
Evening POST thinks the triumph was
largely the victory Of man Staying the
dead. The Cabinet crisis, such as it was
had really passed before he spoke. His
previous explanation, with publication OF
documents Of the new plan Of an Allied

On the Sea

THE U-boat toll for the week rises. On
the side of optimism appear naval
critics and Lloyd George, the latter an
nouncing the sinking of five U-boats in one
day last week. On the other hand, Sir Eric
Geddes, of the British Admiralty, and
Secretary Daniels maintain that the
menace still continues grave. Germany
by a new decree extends the U-boat dan
ger zone to include the Azores Islands.
Meantime the death list of the United
States steamer Rochester, sunk on No
vember 2, is placed at fourteen. Twenty
one men are also lost when the American
destroyer Chauncey sinks following a COL
lision in the North Sea. In a running
fight near Helgoland British warships
damage light German cruisers, which
escape into German home waters. A Brit
ish report arraigns German sinking Of
hospital ships.
At least 100000 tons of ships, Lloyd
George declares, should be completed by
America in 1918 to solve the transport
problem. Cooperation between American
and English navies is assured by confer
ences between Admiral Benson and Brit
ish Admiralty chiefs. Thomas Edison
evolves plan to convert sailing ships
into steamers-a scheme which if sue
cessful will add 100000 tons Of shipping
to the Allied fleet. Henry Ford becomes
a member of the Shipping Board.
In the meantime the American govern
ment lets contracts for twenty unsinka-
bic ships. The first steel ship built by
the Emergency Fleet Corporation is
launched, and the first keel is laid by the
Federal Ship Company.

Allied Unity
Lloyd Georges Triumph

t. HE British Cabinet crisis growing out
l. of Lloyd Georges Paris speech on
unity ends in victory for the Premier.
Lloyd George shows that the new scheme
will not permit civilian leaders to inter
fere with the military, and explains that
the sensationalism of the Paris speech
was premeditated for the purpose Of
rousing the Allies TO the necessity for
unity. Lord Northcliffe's letter refusing
the air portfolio results in the resignation
of Viscount Cowdray, air head.

scores of tanks, on a thirty-fve mile front
between Arras and Saint Quentin breach

deep, over ten miles, menacing Cambria.
Ten thousand prisoners, scores Of guns
and many villages are captured in the
frs. day of battle. Thousands Of mounted
troops pursue the initial victory, bringing
about fighting in the open. The attack,
complete innovation as well as total
surprise to the Germans, is credited with
being the greatest Allied success in the
West, and probably will relieve German
pressure in Italy and on Salonica.
At the same time the French launch a
supporting thrust near Laon. Fighting
also continues in Flanders and at Verdun.
The American contingent clashes almost
daily in patrol engagements with the Ger
mans in Lorraine, sustaining slight cas-
ualties. American Congressman are
