great armies of troops, re-fitted

the trigger to the catapult which
will hurl them into the fray.
My personal computation shows
that of 200 enemy infantry divi-
sions (2,272,000 mem on the
west front, about 1870 are now in
the line. OF the remainder, which
is in reserve, about 60 were drawn
out of recent battles. OF these,
about 40 are rested and refitted
sufficiently to be ready for action
elsewhere in the line.
.. 80 Now Ready.
Twenty-Five divisions have
taken no part in the offensive.
Adding to the above between Is

arrives at the probable total of

CHARGE MAY BE
DUE TO A PEEVE
: OVER DISMISSAL

The issue of militaristic resent
ment against the orders of the
British civil government has been
realized by Maj. Gen. Maurice's
public accusation of lying brought
against Lloyd Georges ministry.
No democratic government that
deliberately misleads public opin-
ion can continue to exist; but
Gen. Maurice has not yet proved
that the civilian officials have de-
ceived the British people concern
ing the army.
This is Gen. Maurice's second
recent adventure in impetuous
criticism.
His first was his attack on Gen.
Foch during the German offens-
i've in Flanders for not ordering
French reserves northward as
rapidly as Gen. Maurice believed
should have been done.
If Gen. Maurice had not been
removed from his post because of
this offense, it is highly improb-
able he would now be attempt
ing to overthrow the Lloyd
George ministry to justify the
right of militarists to challenge
the power of the civil govern
ment.
The charge of the misstate-
ment of fact which Gen. Maurice
brings against the prime minis
ter relates to a declaration in the
house of commons made a month
ago. II the matter were as seri-
Gus as Gen. Maurice pretends to
make out, his own silence dur
ing this period is difficult to ex-
plain on the theory that his
action lis solely for the good of
the army.
Gen. Maurice's public attack
on the British government is a
challenge to democratic govern
mental responsibility.
1t should strengthen the Lloyd
George ministry; but If the gov
eminent falls on the issue, any
succeeding premier would be
compelled to disavow suspicious
that he is an army appointee.

, LONDON, May s.-The
most serious political crisis
In the life Of Lloyd Georges
government exists today.
The situation engenedered by
Gen. Maurice's letter charging the
premier with lack of veracity,
which was brought to a head by
Herbert Asquith's motion in favor
of the house of commons inves-
tigating the charges, instead of
allowing the government to ap-
point two judges for that purpose.
Asquith's action amounts to a
direct declaration of lack Of
confidence in the government. - p
Lloyd George is likely to re-
ply. Political students generally
believe the premier will be able
to explain satisfactorily. Never
theless, the incident tends to
shake public confidence until it
is Strengthened out.
Altho divided, the press agrees
ON the seriousness of such a
charge coming from Maurice, a
former member of the general
staff. They hold the opinion it
"a a challenge which the govern
ment must meet Immediately or
face the peril of weakened public
confidence.
Northcliffe With Premier.
The Northcliffe press supports
the government, refusing to be-
lieve the ministers deliberately
deceived the people.
The Star said: "Unquestion-
ably there is something wrong in
the present governments rela-
tions with the army and navy. An
investigation must be ordered"
The Globe said: I'VE can
imagine nothing meaner nor
more contemplate than that the
ministers, for the purpose of saw
ing themselves from public odium,
should blame reverse upon the
soldiers by false statements, when
they themselves are responsible.
We suspend judgment on the con-
dition Of an immediate promise o.
a searching inquiry"
Demands Probe.
The Evening Standard is the
only paper so far to criticise
Maurice, altho it demands an
inquiry.
The Daily News hopes S"com-
. mons will not allow the issue to
'pass from its hands.
The Post is bitterly opposed to
the government.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN LORRAINE, May s. - Capt.
James Norman Hall, Of Colfax,

aerial combat yesterday morning
between three American and four
German airplanes.
The Americans were 10 miles in
side the German frontier, north
Of Toul, when they spotted the
enemy planes and attacked them
Hall was flying at the lowest al
ltitude when the fight started.
All the planes began diving and
turning for the advantage of posi-
ton. A comrade who last saw
Hall believes he landed safely in
side the German lines and is now
a prisoner.
The other two Americans re-
turned safety to their lines.
The Americans report the Ger

the best German stunt flyers be-
cause of the Americans aerial
successes.
This morning Arthur Cunning
ham of Boston, attacked a German
plane and two others suddenly
dropped out of the sky and at
tackled. His machine gun stuck
but he out-maneuvered them and
got into the most advantageous
position, making the bluff that his
gun was in working order. The
Germans fled.
