Haskell institute last month and the
first Of April, which caused the death

BRITAINS POLITICAL STORM

MO incident of major politics in Great Britain can be
Y viewed with indifference in this country now, but
there is less need for anxiety over British affairs to-
day than there would have been siz weeks ago. The
British have done pretty nearly all the things we were
anxious to have them do in their relations with their allies
in the great war, and know that il the Lloyd George
government does come tmblng down as result Of the
Maunce incident attempt will be made to change these
things which are, briefly put the agreement to putt the
Allied forces under single command aud to accept for
lelr own the American peace terms including the Amer
lean altitude toward Russia
In all our dealings with the nations which are associated
with the United States in the war upon Germany the
America ntTadton to enter into no entangng alliances
has been scrpuousy observed The vitality important and
vast diplomatic intercourse between the United States and
The governments Of Europe has been nothing more than what
The dipomahss call conversation 1t rests on nothing
more material than the good faith Of civilized nations
And that is what gives it its great strength in crisis like
that which the English seem to be going through Let
the Bntons have their political upheavas if they must No
matter which party what combination of parties lands
on topte understanding between the American people and
the people of the British empire will continue to exist and
it will have to be lived up to.
But tits by certain as this is written that the
Lloyd George government really is in serious straits II
may weather this storm it has weahered others since it,
took office on December Z 1916 1t evident however,
that quite recently has not been able to present as finn
front to its enemies it once was and the back biting
OF military man, who it seems is an adherent Of the
military clique OF which General Robertson the recently
deposed Chief OF staff, conspicuous member may be
seized upon as an excuse to upset the apple cart
and make new political alignment imperative. Such an
outcome would not be particularly edifyng but it would
be quite in keeping with the traditions and processes Of
British politics The deal by which Lloyd George was
boosted into power the wreck of the Asquh ministry
probably will smash dozen regulations when the full de-
tails become known and the British public has the time

practice such methods no position to ask quarter

The complete statement Of bond subscriptions in
Marion county shows that the people who did the work
on the outside not the only who were busy
during the campaign. The total for the county is
$1,6412Oo an oversubscription Of $518450, and the
number Of subscribers is 1914 This means that the
banks have had to do huge amount of work for which
their only recompense will be the satisfaction that
of patriotic duty cheerfully performed. That they
work was cheerfully performed The West virginian
which kept in touch with its progress throughout the
campaign knows, and we most heartily congratulate
County Chairman Glenn F. Barns and the other men,
bers Of the Liberty Loan committee upon the splendid
way in which they carried out duty which at times
required no little patience and tact.

Recommendations Of the Railway Wage commission
which became public last night show that an effort has
been made to establish base from which all wage con-
troverses may be settled while the railroads are under
government control. This base is the monthly pay
in December, 1915 before prices began to skyrocket
n'thiscountry. If the commissions recommendations
are accepted by the director general increases for all
men who received $3.50 per month and less will be
granted but in this will mean little increase
over the present pay The on small pay however,
will get substantial raises and the scheme outlined
Is adopted it will make future adjustments compare
