Washington, d. c., May ,7.-Director
General McAdoo will announce soon
his decision on recommendation of
the railroad wage committee, which
We're said in we'll informed quarters
today to propose an average 20 per-
cent advance in pay for all classes of
railroad employees. If Mr.. McAdoo
follows the suggestions of the COM
mission approximately $260,O00,0 900
will be added to the payrolls of the ma.
tons railroads.
Strong pressure is said to have been
brought to bear on Director General
Meade to modify some Of the COM
MISSIONS recommendations especially
effecting the four great brotherhoods
Mr.. McAdoo is not bound to follow
the advice of the commission and can
increase or reduce their recommends
tons as he sees fit. The commission
has followed it's announced policy of
giving the highest paid unions the
lowest rate of advance, holding that
relief is needed most by the men who
have been barely making ends meet or
perhaps going in debt on the wages
they receive. 49,

MAURICE CHARGE
TO BE EXAMINED
BY TWO JUDGES
BOnar Law Tells Commons the
Charge of Mask Over Army
Activities to be Judicial
OPPOSES PLAN
Parliamentary Traditions BrOk-
en-; Law Stands Firm for
Secrecy of War Moves

London, May 7.-Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor Of the eXcheQuer, who
is spokesman for the war cabinet in
the house of Commons, since the pre-.
mier's duties in managing the war
do not give him time for constant at
tendance in parliament, told the house
this afternoon that the cabinet had de-
cided to entrust to commission Of
two judges the investigation of the
charges General Frederick B. Maurice,
former chief director of military oper-
atoms at the British war office made,
declaring the cabinet had deceived the
country in parliament about the army
in France.
Ex-Premier Asquith, always sup
porter of parliamentary traditions, led
the faction in house which insisted
that the investigation be made by a
parliamentary committee.
Insists on Judicial Probe.
Mr.. Bonar Law stood firm for a judi
icial inquiry, on the ground that the
deepest secrets of the conduct of the
war were involved and the cabinet
did not wish to reveal them to COM
mittee which night not safeguard as
the judges would.
There will be debate on the ques-
ton Thursday and in the meantime it
passes into the realms of speculation.
Talk was rife about West Minister
that the government may be over
thrown on a test vote on this tech
nical phase of the question. e..
OF all the remarkable and uneXpect-
ed events which the war has evolved
none surpasses the situation precipl-
tated by one of the most distinguished
generals of the British army. General
Maurice acted on the plea that my
duty as citizen must override my
duty as soldier" ~ =,
A Very Grave Step. &
It is needless to say that this was
a direct challenge to all rules of mil
itary discipline and technically more
fragrant offense in time of war than
in peace times. No one knows this
better than General Maurice, who de-
scribed it n his letter as "a very grave
step and indicated his willingness to
suffer the consequences.
Mr.. Bonar Law. refused to give as
surances that the disciplinary meas
ures against General Maurice would
be suspended pending the result OF
the investigation.
General Maurice has strong support
from the portion OF the army behind
him; how strong remains to be seen
Critics of the Premier have accused
him of trying to shoulder upon the
army what they allege have been his
mistakes and newspaper contro'
versy has been going on since the be-
ginning of the German offensive,
which may be described as the army
against the politicians, the gist OF
which has been that the war cabinet
has over ridden it's military advls'
ers in matters of strategy and espec-
tally in regard to the military de-
mands for men on the western front
This quarrel has come to a crisis,
which now is likely to be settled and
the air cleared.
General Maurice is one of the fore
most military authorities and mill
tary historians of the war.
