Again Gives Evidence of His Political Strategy in Dealing with Pub
 lie Matters.
CRISIS IS NOW PASSED
Lloyd George Made It Clear That His Cabinet Would Resign if Motion
 Prevailed.

LONDON May 1.-The quick and successful manner in which Lloyd Georges ministry in the House of Commons yesterday dealt with the unpleasant incident which caused more political bitterness than any preceding chapter of this Administra- tion, brought about by the sudden change of tactics on the part of the Cabinet Premier, again proved Lloyd George keen political strategist.
 Becoming a strong pleader for his own cause, he withdrew the Cabi- nets plan for a Court of Honor to Meal with the charges made by Ma jor-Gen. Maurice, which Andrew Bon. ar Law last Tuesday said concerned the honor of the Ministers Premier.
 Lloyd George made it clear that a vote for the adoption of Former Premier Asquith's motion for sel. ect committee to investigate the al legged charges, would be regarded as vote of censure, which would be followed by the resignation of the Ministry.
