London. May 0.-Former influential
officers in the German army, support
ers of Won Moltke, former chief Of

that the German successes on the

pectations, according to reports in
The Hague, transmitted under reserve
by the correspondent Of the Daily

Another report, which appears to
have some foundation, is that a sharp

on one side and Chancellor Won Hertz
ing and Foreign Secretary Won Kuehl-
mann on the other. The emperor,

BRITAIN'S CABINET
FACES CHALLENGE
CONTINUED From Page l.
However, views differ as to how far
this will satisfy the public.
MAY NOT END QUARREL

Some hold that verdict by The
house Of commons In support Of the
government will completely vindicate
the government and crush what they
call the intrigue Of the AsQuithian op.
position. Others say tha& such yer.
dict will prove nothing except reluc.
lance TO Dust the government at crit
ical moment, leaving the main question
unaffected.
= The latter view is voiced By the
ing q parliamentary victory for the
government, possibly by a large ma
jority, says this would indicate nothing
more than reluctance by the commons
at a moment of.national peril to over
throw the minister, while mo definite
and acceptable alternative exists. 1t
adds that such a victory cannot be a
straightforward verdict on the merits
Of the case. The charges, 1t declares,
ought to be disproved conclusfvely or
the affected ministers ought to leave
ONCE.
DON'T WANT .AsoUlTH
The Daily Telegraph, on the other
hand has no doubt that the ministerial
reply will be complete and crushing.
Fear is expressed by section OF the
press n ost hostile to Mr. Asquith that
II the government falls the "old gang"
will regain power. The Tory Morning
Post, which voices this fear editor1ally,
says elsewhere:
1.-THE house of commons will not KIN
Lloyd George to make Asquith pre-
mier. This has been Lloyd Georges
safeguard before and 1t will be his
safeguard now"
The Daily Mail, although not with
drawing it's support OF the govern.
ment, says editorially that the govern
ment has itself partly to thank for
the position in which it stands, hay
ing repeatedly shown timidity and
weakness In dealing with high milf
tary and naval officers who have
failed at their posts. 1t adds that the
government may explain why General
Maurice was removed from the war
Office and whether he had grldge to
avenge.
Regarding the withdrawal Of Major
General Maurice from the war office.
the Times says it was superseded"
It adds that It is understood that
pending his appointment to post In
France General Maurice was allowed
TO retain his position and continue to
work In collaboration with Major
General Radcliffe, his successor ~
chief Of military operations.
