BRITISH CABINET RETAINS CON.
FIDENcE OF THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.
.ASoUITH's MOTION BEATEN
Appointment Of Special COMMITTEES to
Investigate Charges Made by Gen.
eraI Maurice Is Voted Down,
(. 2s3 to 1o6.

London, May 10.-The Lloyd George
ministry won notable victory in the
House of Commons. BY vote of 293
to .10S the House voted down a mo-
tion introduced by former Premier
AsQuith providing for the appointment
of special committee to investigate
charges made by Maj Gen. Frederick
B. Maurice, recently relieved of his
post as chief director of military op.
erations at the war Office.
Stirred by the imminence of a cab
met crisis, the people of London
crowded the public galleries long be-
fore the debate opened. Tn diplo-
matte and peers galleries we're also
thronged.
Immediately after the Introduction
Of Mr.. Asquith's motion, the premier
took the floor and spoke in defense
OF the government
Says He Used Maurice Figures
The premier denied the charges Of
General Maurice and declared that
statements made in his recent speech,
to which Maurice's charges referred,
were made on information received
from General Maurice's department of
the war office.
The premier showed also by docu-
mentary evidence that the extension
OF the British line was made because
of pressure exerted by Frasce, and
that the decision was taken on the
advice Of the military authorities, in
agreement with Field Marshal Haig,
the War cabinet having interfered
in no way in the question, slthough it
approved Of the dispositions.
When the premier left the House he
was loudly cheered.
Flags General Maurice Policy.
The premier, discussing General
tanned that Maurice had never made
representations to the chief of staff
on the subject.
"Yet," the premier continued sar-
castically, "this is so important that
select committee must be set up
to inquire into it, so important as to
justify General Maurice trampling on
the kings regulations, and setting up
an example Of indisclpline to the
whole army"
Both he and Mr.. Bonar Law were
anxious for an examination of their
statements by an impartial tribunal,
he said. A mass of confidential docu-
ments was involvedan he maintained
that a select committee was not the
best tribunal to investigate facts when
passions were aroused.
