CRISIS STRENGTHENS
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Lloyd George Proves He Has
Not Lost His Notable Politi- .
cal Courage.
BY Reciprocal News.

London, April 23.-The government
seems to have benefited by being
forced to face a critical military situa-
ton. One had begun to hear that Lloyd
George was playing out, that he had
lost his political courage and was at
pains to avoid decisions. Today he is
again the daring politician and his
courage is likely to be rewarded. He
has adopted England's demand that
Ireland shall bear her part of the sac
rifices Of war, and Ireland's demand
for home rule, two measures equally
obnoxious to different parts OF Ireland.

London, Nov. "A large fleet of the

clearing the Dardanelles of mines and

the allies consider to be necessary
before the allied fleet enters the tor

the Black sea, will take several days.
The allied fleet, it is believed, is
sure to come to grips with the German
Warships. There is every reason to
believe that the Germans have put
this fleet in good order. 1t consists of
seven pre-dreadnaughts, two cruisers
and II submarines, besides at least 26
other types of war craft. The enemy
has the advantage of three good bases
in the Black sea-Odessa, Sebastopol
and Nikolaiev-but it is likely they
are short Of ammunition. At Nikolaiev

them is nearly completed.
